Black Power, Brown Pride:Man I love waking up Saturday morning with video’s like these. I guess it kinda reminds me of Yo MTV Raps! MED‘s “Blaxican” was produced by Madlib and is taken from the “Classic” album dropping November 1st. The video was director by Mochilla’s Eric Coleman and shot in LA as you can see.
Tony Got BeatsGalore:It took quite some time, but finally mister Tony Ozier is back with some brand new ‘aural penetration’ for your ears. His new “BeatsGalore” Vol. 1 album contains a shitload of beats and a heap of interludes and some good ol’ Doo Doo Funk. Personally I would’ve liked to hear some more finished product, but hey that’s just me. All in all I think you should give this one a listen for yourself. Oh and let us know what you think about it.

You might have read that me and Marcelo are currently in L.A. right now and chilling at Venice Beach at the moment with my man Anthony Valadez. First thing we did when we got here was go to the Timeless show with Arthur Verocai and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson show. Eventhough we were tired as f*ck and almost fell asleep (cuz of the jetlag), we enjoyed the show tremendously though.

We visited Samiyam at his house and hung out for a bit, whilst sippin’ on some coconut juice with chunks in it. He has some sick ass shirts, which we will might be selling in the near future as well. Heard some dope new stuff of his upcoming album that’s dropping on Brainfeeder and some other remixes he did. Also we met the homie I-Ced, AFTA-1 and the ever so beautiful Nikko Grey. Loved watching her perform live tonight and looking forward to that project she was talking about with AFTA-1. Hope to be able to post some more stuff on here later this week so stay tuned. Do-Over, Funkmosphere, Low End Theory and more coming up.
Today is the 4th anniversary of Dilla’s untimely passing. At Mochilla, they’ve spent the past year working on A Suite for Ma Dukes. Until now they only released videos of entirely instrumental pieces, but today – in homage to the man responsible for all this – they have released the first vocal performance from SFMD. Detroit singer Dwele sang the classic “Angel” that night without rehearsal, but with Miguel Atwood-Furguson‘s beautiful arrangements. Shout out to V-Tech, B+ and J.Kim.
J Rocc (third member of Jaylib so to speak), put together this mixtape of Dilla, Madlib and Jaylib songs, as well as some of their sources, essentially telling the story of this group. Stones Throw had some promo copies of this CD floating around for a while that year, then took the Jaylib section and pressed it on a 45, which was released as the bonus 45 with “Champion Sound”. Both the CD and 45 are long out of stock. The photos were taken by B+ of Madlib in his studio in L.A. and Dilla in his in Detroit.

The first in a series of ten 10’s from L.A. based producers. Simple premise of 2 producers on each record every month starting from January 2010. Cover art for the series comes from B+ and kicking it off are Dibiase and P.U.D.G.E. with “LA Series #1″. Both producers collaborate on this official leak called “Smoke it Over”…enjoy. Oh and make sure you BUY this release over at Rushhour. Thnx to Olan from All City for providing us with the low res .mp3′s…it’s gonna be a busy year!
