Wow…another great Japan tribute has just been released by UNITE. The “I Heart Japan” mix features music from Count Bass D, Stacy Epps, Bahamadia, Oh No, Floating Points, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Roddy Rod and many more. There’s also an art book that was designed by Jewell Green of Frolab which features visual artists such as Masakatsu Kondo, Anna-Lina Balke, Goldi Gold, Jennifer Lester and many more. All the artists were so generous as to donate their artwork and music to help a community in need.

On Valentine Van Hunt updated his myspace by adding four new songs. This is what the man himself had to say about it: “Our next set of music features a gracious host of down-tempos. It’s what I refer to as The Lamplighter Series“.
Half The Fun features Count Bass D and for me this is the track. The second track Sexy, Sexy Love is also pretty nice, but no neckbreaker for me. All in all a very nice FREE release, but since Van Hunt did not make the tracks available for everyone to download, we won’t either at this point in time. Leave Van Hunt a nice message on his myspace and who knows he might be so kinds to share his new music with everybody.

I Am Not for Sale’ is the culmination of over a decade of tireless work from one of Hip Hop’s most slept on MCs and all round renaissance man – John Robinson aka Lil Sci. Many of you will know J.R. from his work with Sol Uprizing or Scienz of Life or from the stellar output of his own Shaman Work label which he runs together with Chris Craft. John’s is also a unique voice you may recognise from a glut of guest apperances for and collaborations with Madlib, Count Bass D, Rawkus Records, MF DOOM, Daedelus, Ammon Contact, Dwight Trible, Jneiro Jarel and Flying Lotus.
Having teased the underground community in the last two years with the widely acclaimed mixtapes ‘The Leak Edition’ Volume 1 & 2 (and subsequent vinyl sampler ‘Leak Edition EP 1’ on Fat City) J.R. is ready to unleash his official debut album release. Production on this project comes from some of the most groundbreaking beatmakers around today namely FLYING LOTUS, JNEIRO JAREL & IG CULTURE, perfectly complimenting John’s poetic flow and forward thinking vision. Check The Rhyme & Fat City.
