Ever so often it happens we just forget to post about someone. It’s not like we missed it or didn’t dig…nah we might have simply forgotten. Have to thank Joe Kay for reminding me about this dope ass producer called Evil Needle from France. Better late then never…right Floran. I know you guys are going to love his latest “Loungin” joint and of course “Summer Blap” is still hella fresh.

Next week Pharoahe‘s “W.A.R.(We Are Renegades)” album drops via Fatbeats. Early low bitrate stream, because “The Hitman” is just straight bangin’. Who else but M-Phazes on the production!?

Yes..I know Dilla month is over..and we heard way too many weak Dilla remixes/ tributes. But must say Melbourne’s M-Phazes turned “Slum Village – Raise It Up” into something new just using the drum pattern and his own westcoast feel. RAISE IT UP for the J Dilla Foundation!!
M-Phazes – Raise It Up For Dilla (with Damian Smith & Mikey Chan)

In the past me & Nilez used to do a little something we called “Slept on Sundays”, where we dedicated an otherwise slow sunday on Moovmnt to a song, album or artist we felt deserves some more attention. Since there’s way too much good music out there, both old and new, we decided it’s about time to bring back the Slept on Sundays. For this first one I picked a personal favorite off Karizma‘s 2009 “A Mind Of It’s Own V2.0” album. The album itself was more or less a continuation of 2007’s “Mind Of It’s Own” with remixes but also new material including this gem called “Good Morning”. The house heads out there will immediately recognize the lovely vocals of Monique Bingham on this track. To me this track is heavily slept-on, so make sure to give it a spin and check out the album too!

Young buck B.Lewis made quite some noise last year with his “Mercury Backburner” release among others. This year he’s back with a brand new beat tape called “Science Within Reason” (dropping later today) which showcases his progress as he is getting more skilful every time he drops something new. Not that hard to pick two winners from this free 30-track tape drenched in tiger blood. In case you missed it…download HERE!

In case you have no idea what to do next…I suggest you grab the free download, get naked and press play!
