Now I’m not going to rant on and on about this Slum Village – “Villa Manifesto” EP, but man that “Nitro” joint is blazin’! It reminds me of some ol’ Wu-Tang type of ish, with a touch of Detroit added to the mix. Hurry up and buy via iTunes!

REPOST: Using “Love Czars” from their Nuclear Evolution album as inspiration, the SA-RA Creative Partners create “Love Czars II” exclusively for this release. This is not a remix (the music is completely different), and in a clash of heavyweight new schoolers, it features red hot MC/producer Jay Electronica and Ta’Raach on the mic. Also included is “Powder Bump”, a SA-RA track previously unavailable on vinyl.
Please note that this is a very special limited release with the music on one side and the Serato tone on the flip of some very pink vinyl! This is an official Serato Control Vinyl release which works as a conventional 12″ release on Side A, and is a Serato Control Vinyl release on Side B. ubiquity

“Before Aloe Blacc hopped on the Stones Throw roster, he went simply by his given name Nathaniel and dropped this 12″. It was around the time that the word “neo soul” was being thrown around like a dirty dish towel so it probably fell into that ill-fated category. Doesn’t matter though because they are both cool joints. Somethin’ to kick back and relax to.” Both tracks produced by Ta’Raach.

Big up to Chikara at Tres Records for hooking us up with the new Big Tone LP release. You might have heard this Detroit veteran’s debut album The Drought, containing What’s Up (Intimacy) featuring Dwele, on ABB Records or his earlier work on J Dilla’s Welcome 2 Detroit.
Tone’s vision to provide insight to his lifestyle and perspective lead to the tattoo based theme of his upcoming album. He mirrors the tattoo artists’ ability to capture innermost desires, experiences and memories on the canvas of the soul. The Art Of Ink album will drop digitally March 17 and then via CD and vinyl on April 14.

Samon Kawamura has finished his work on Unfold, his second soloalbum, within a short year Unfold, the successor of Translations (Samon ´s debut-album released on Nesola in the middle of 2007), came into existence. The most obvious difference in comparison with its predecessor is the participation of vocalists/rappers, whose selection nearly seems to follow a concept.
With Madlib´ s brother OH NO and Aloe Blacc two Stonesthrow-artists stood in front of the mic. The contributions of Om’Mas Keith (SA-RA Creative Partners) and the producing MC Ta’Raach fit in the picture as well with regard to the creative backgrounds and interests, the whole thing being rounded out by Kev Brown from the Jazzy Jeff-camp and Laura López Castro.
With Unfold there nearly is a balance between songs with and without vocals. The message being articulated by the lyrical contributions to the songs is basically characterized by passion for the art form and some kind of authentic and serious contemplation on the subject matter.

Shawn Jackson’s latest project, “First of All…” is a highly anticipated album that aims to satisfy true fans that feel a void within quality hip hop music. The album is a wonderful balance of sounds which features artists such as Guilty Simpson (Stones Throw Records), Ty of Ty & Kory, Double K (People Under the Stairs), Ta’Raach (C.R.A.C.), Beloved, and Comel of the group Time Machine. It’s balance and well rounded features give listeners something that is often missing from hip hop, and further proves that Shawn Jackson is one of the strongest MCs in the game to date. His swagger, rhyme play, and well thought out content sets a high standard for those that choose to follow. released on Tres Records. Buy This..

Raach City Riot 10″-4 Pooh-Bah records has just released a brand new 10″ from Detroit’s own Ta’Raach called, “Raach City Riot”-all grimey Detroit Hip Hop instrumentals at it’s finest. The record, which seems to be of another limited Pooh-Bah release, also features a lot of movie dialogue to keep the mood and the theme behind Raach’s music flowing. Following up his Lacks project with singles with acts like J Dilla, Platinum Pied Pipers, Exile and Giant Panda Raach has come back around to his roots with this 10” release. “Raach City Riot” is a Rapsploitation concept album about bar-b-que, triumph and infiltration. This EP captures the essence of a people living in a bleak society and how they face down a bloated regime and its’ jive idealisms.
