We told you about Def Chronic before and guess what…Seinabo Sey and Frank Nobel are back with their debut “Def Chronic Vol.1 EP”. Enjoy this FREE download and spread the word please.

The guys at Mellow Orange promo for Freddie Joachim‘s upcoming album entitled “Midway”. It will be available July 16th and the video was directed and produced by Garvin Ha. In the background you hear “Ride” off the new album.

Last week me and K-Murda went digging at Rasputin’s in the Bay and we saw Dwele new “W.Ants W.Orld W.Omen” album. We could only listen to half of the songs, so we decided to listen to the whole thing first before deciding whether to buy or not. Sorry for being late, but in the end I got a chance to listen to it more closely. Whenever there’s a DJ Quik production on there…I say buy! Not Dwele’s best album, but still you should go to and support some of that Motor City Soul.

Ever since I was 13 or something, I loved MC Eiht. During my visit to L.A. I got an email from the guys from Melting Pot saying that Brenk had produced a brand new jam for Eight and that the video was out. Just had to share this one with ya’ll for old time’s sake…

“This is not an original beat of mine…..I just added a few bass and string joints in there and mostly mixed it. The melody including a few samples is a cover of Devonwho’s original “Actriz” from his beat CD “Funraiser Vol. 1: Thumbtracks”. As for the drums, those are originally Black Milk’s from his “Purple Rain” Beat CD. And of course I had to spice some Dilla in it…..I just wanted to see how two of my favorite joints would sound together”. – NAMELESS
