Just a quick post for the hell of it. We were at Rushhour a couple of days ago and Nevill and me checked out this Grooveman Spot track we hadn’t heard before. The a-side “2 Things” with John Robinson didn’t really snap our necks, but when we heard the b-side “Down To You” feat. Muhsinah we knew we had to post this one. This 12inch was released late november, but since we don’t buy a whole lot of vinyl I guess we missed this one. Buy this record or the mp3′s and support these artists!

 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.

Anthony Valadez is complicated. Passionate about everything, motivated by nothing, inspired by some things, moved by the under dogs of the world. As a kid, Ant used to get into trouble doodling action scenes on his school assignments.  His 3rd grade teacher (Mrs Brisco, Langdon Elementary School) made him sit on his hands an entire day due to his excessive drum solos on his desk during class. He was once forced to write a thousand words (me) as punishment for his excessive talking during class..

10 years later, he talks mad shit, speaks his mind, plays the drums and doodles now more so than ever.. But at the tender age of 30, Ant.Vala does it with confidence + swagg. Ant.Vala went on to study theatre in college.  Writing a modern day adaptation of the greek tragedy of Antigone utilizing 2 turntables + 1 mixer which toured across Los Angeles in 2003. The production (along with Ant.Valadez) was invited to Shanghai China as part of its annual Shanghai Experimental Theatre Festival.   Ant.Valadez later went on to dee jay across the globe from London to Argentina dee jaying @ various functions.  He held a solid residence at the Temple Bar for 4 years opening for the likes of Nikka Costa, Les Nubians, Ben Harper, Cee-Lo Green, Van Hunt, Meshell Ndegeocello, Eric Roberson, Raphael Saadiq,  Doug E Fresh, Sy Smith, Kim Hill, The Pharcyde, Richard Bona, Money Mark,  and much more. AntVa also went on to tour with former Interscope Recording Artist RES across the United States as her tour DJ opening for Talib Kweli and Jean Grae.

At the moment he is now on 89.9 KCRW breaking new sounds of soul + beats + jazz + folks + more.

Ant.Va just released this beautifull track entitled GO feat. Wendisue (Vox), John Robinson aka Lil Sci (Vox) Flying Lotus (keys+ drum sequence) Dexter Story (bass) Rebekah (Harp) Shaunte Palmer (Keys) on Junior’s label Recordbreakin.

Carlos Nino & Lil Sci Present What’s the Science? Is the question we direct to all those that dwell on the Planet Earth! From the Mother Continent of Africa, to the hills of Europe, on over to the wilderness of North America, all the way back to the Coast of Asia, living under the umbrella of Hip-Hop Culture. We ask you all, What’s the Science? We are living in a time where Hip-Hop Culture is one of the most powerful forces that exists around us that helps unite people of all races, colors, creeds, religions and schools of thought under one flag. It’s time to give proper thanks and praise and reverence to the ERA that raised us and guided this same MOOVMNT, that still exists today, on the next level. We stand here before you as Students of the same conscious MOOVMNT that birthed the likes of AFRIKA BAMBATAA, KRS ONE, RAKIM, PUBLIC ENEMY, BRAND NUBIAN, X-CLAN, POOR RIGHTEOUS TEACHERS, KMD, THE NATIVE TONGUE and countless others that brought forth an entire essence that took the world by storm and made it cool to be intelligent. What’s the Science? How long will it take us to stand up strong again to make sure that the youth have some substance to feed off in order to grow into powerful, resourceful and responsible adults able to make positive changes to the world in which we live. What’s The Science?

Love this verse… Thanks to J.Robinson. What’s the science?? in stores MAY 20th..
