Brand new cut from Raks One aka Emilio Rojas featuring Stat Quo off that Recession Proof mixtape. Its produced by M-Phazes (Good Gracious!)… so you know its some heat. Unlike 585, this is more of a West Coast type smooth ride-out joint. Thanks to OnSmash for this one!

Last week as we entered Rushhour we saw two guys just leaving the recordshop. Turned out they just dropped off a stack of the latest Lazersword CD’s. We briefly checked some tracks and the Tea Leaf Dancers Low Limit Remix really was the winner for us. Too lazy to run after them for a copy, we decided to just email them for the tracks, but we never got a reply.

Luckily the Woodbuyers just dropped it as an exclusive on their website so finally here it is. Enjoy and support these Frisco cats…buy the new CD at Rushhour!

Yes yes, much obliged Kenny Fresh from Fresh Selects! A brand new track from the lovely Stacy Epps produced by Georgia Anne Muldrow. I heard the instrumental version a while back, but Stacy really blesses it nicely with her voice. Motivation comes from Georgia Annes’ upcoming album on the ePistrophik Peach Sound label with Dudley Perkins. The second song Deep was recorded in 2005, never got released and was produced by the one and only MF Doom. Also be sure to check out the Fireside Chat on RBMA.

I was just going through some older stuff I had lying around and came across this Gumbo album from last year. The artist, Brenk from Vienna, born Branko Jordanovic, is one of Austria’s hardest working beatmakers. Now eventhough the album wasn’t that amazing and was released last year, we still found two tracks entertaining enough to share with ya’ll. Ole Woam is a very nice deep and spacey track with a great little vocoder chorus and Don’t Stop is also kinda fly. Sad to say that the rest of the album wasn’t on the same level. These same two tracks also came out on Melting Pot in the form of the Beat 45 #2 single. I love the whole idea behind that concept and I have to say the AFTA-1 release is the best of the series so far!

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.

Ya’ll might have heard from Detroit vocalist Velben before or maybe you’ve even checked out his Formless EP. Well he put up a couple of new soulful tracks on his myspace and we wanted to share them with ya’ll. Randomness was crafted by Damien of Helium Music and Madhouse was produced by none other than Byron the Aquarius. Enjoy, buy the album when it drops and thanks to BamaLoveSoul.Com!

The fellas at Kindred were so kind to hook us up with the promo and I let me tell you…I was pretty psyched about this album. I was a real big HEAVy fan five years ago and fell in love with Nicky Guiland and Casey Benjamin (a.k.a. HEAVy) because of the gigantic classic Do For You.

In 2004 a limited EP was released on Kindred Spirits. Five years later HEAVy drops their First Sessions album filled with classic and unreleased material from their early days. Be sure to peep those killer remixes by none other then Jazzanova, YamWho? and DJ Spinna. A true classic for real soul lovers and the perfect addition for HEAVy fans. Go check it out, enjoy and pre-order First Sessions at Rush Hour.
