The little homie Onra has been busy with his “Chinoiseries” Pt. 2 which came out yesterday on All City. The whole concept is crazy nice and if you’re into bangin’ hip hop beats this will hit the spot. Congratulations on a dope sequel homie. Really like the samples and chops, you dug pretty deep for this one. I remember earlier this year when Onra was performing with Buddy Sativa in Amsterdam. I remember him playing “Fight Or Die” and thinking…damn this beat kicks. No doubt we had to stream this one for your enjoyment! If you want to support, go ahead and purchase this release on or pre-order on vinyl at Rush Hour.

Miss Neco Redd might be a name you all have heard of but can’t quite remember where you heard it. She has done several vocal features for Platinum Pied Pipers (“One Love To U” & “Better Days”), DJ Mitsu (“Right Here”) and Byron & Onra (“Love”). Last year she put out her “No Discipline” EP and has now returned with her “The Full Disclosure” album which is available as a free download. Honestly I could only find one song on there I like, but perhaps you can find a few more. Thought I’d share this with you guys since it’s a freebie.

Paris representative Onra is proud to announce his next album release, “Chinoiseries Pt. 2″, dropping on November 15th on All City Records. For this project has been digging for Chinese and Vietnamese vinyl to create a themed instrumental hip-hip beat journey just like he did five years ago with the first volume. The second edition of this series, which features 32 instrumentals all sampled from various vinyl found during various trips to South East Asia. Enjoy a short video trailer for “Chinoiseries Pt. 2″ which captures Onra digging for vinyl on one of his recent trips, while molding the original samples into a beat that you’ll soon get to enjoy.
Last week me and the homie Mr. Speak were just hanging out and decided to put together this “The Future of Funk” mix. It’s a well known fact I like that Modern Funk so I thought it was only fitting to share my love with the rest of the world. Did my best to get some exclusives in there together with a healthy dose of that bomb funk. Many thanks to all the artists for helping me put this together and thanks to Deluge for the last minute cover art. Enjoy this 45 minute ride to the funky side. Destination…The Future of Funk!
Last Friday Onra, Buddy Sativa and me went to check out a show with the guys from Electric Wire Hustle, Benny Tones, Ladi6 and a really nice guy called Isaac Aesili. I had heard about Isaac before, but had never heard the “Eye See” album he released in 2009. Wanted to share the title track with you guys, cuz I think it’s a nice one. Head over to to purchase.

One of my favorite Frenchies must be the homie Onra. He just put a brand new demo on his Soundcloud which we’d “L.O.V.E” to share with you. Really wanted to go see Onra, Benji B, Jamie XX, Mark de Clive-Lowe and Lefto play tomorrow at the Demo party in Ghent (Belgium), but I’m afraid we’re not going to make it after all.

After gaining a solid reputation over the past few years thanks to his numerous productions for artists such as Drake or Slakah the Beatchild to name just a few, French producer Häzelfinally presents his first solo project. These voluntarily J-Dilla influenced 6 tracks build a superb Hip-Hop/Soul opus. „Playground‟ will also be released on Catblock Records, new label launched together by Favorite Recordings and Onra. Under the successful French beatmaker‟s artistic direction, Catblock should quickly establish itself as one of the essential imprints from the contemporary Hip-Hop/Electronic music scene. Catblock
