Better late than never huh! The final chapter to the mixing monthly saga is here and by the looks of those expensive suits I guess Full Crate & FS Green turned into millionaires thanks to their mixtapes. Be sure to keep checking the mixingmonthly website to keep up with their future activities. Thanks Franky for NOT letting us know about this one dropping! Download this FREE mixtape HERE.
To show love to those that have supported Exile along the way, he decided to drop off a record that wasn’t featured on his latest album, Radio. Be sure to cop Radio on iTunes now! via 2dopeboyz.

Reggie B is a soulsinger/producer from Topcity (Topeka Kansas) with a warm yet spacey sound using a Motif keyboard and going for those authentic roads & guitar sounds. We’ve been onto this guy for a while, but when I received some tracks from his upcoming album (The Traveler) I just had to post This Pain. Get ready for an action-packed post!
He has already dropped several albums like Go on the Japanese label Circulations. He almost produced this whole album by himself exept for a couple of guest productions by Lenny D (who produced Go), Saadiq from Platinum Pied Pipers (who produced We R Here) and Miles Bonny (who produced I Apologize). This album has some serious tracks on it, so be sure to support good music and buy it HERE!
The Future Music album is a project Reggie did together with Daru. I just love the title track (produced by Reggie) and what a coincidence Reggie also worked on the title track for Jay Scarlett’s New Worlds album that dropped last year, which is also an amazing track! Last, but not least, he also featured on the Alpha compilation that came out last March on INnatesounds.
There are so many projects Reggie is working on so be sure to keep an eye out for the, soon to be released, political joint called Whitehouse Lies about former president Bush. Georgy Porgy gets burned on this one…I’m lovin’ it like McDonalds and this one will be available on all digital stores only! There is an upcoming album with Miles Bonny on the shelves and don’t even get me started about his The Traveler album. Each producer from the INnatesounds crew (Miles Bonny, Daru, Lenny D, Reggie B) will be releasing or have already released an album for the Work series. Reggie’s Work Vol.5 (Musical Joyride) will be coming out next month so I guess 2009 is gonna be Reggie’s year. This cat is taking over! Thanks to Reggie B & the ThinkLoud radioshow for the interview.

The second “tape” in the UpMyAlley Beatnicks Series is online now for free download!
The man behind Vol.2 is Powell straight outta Paris, already known from his “Dimension X” track on Beatnicks Vol.2 with more releases to come later this year on UpMyAlley.
yeah i know we already did a write up about this release, but we received a new Afta1 track..so you might also want to read this again..in case you were sleeping on Afta…
Afta-1 is one of the biggest talents amongst today’s beat generation. Born in California and now based in Brooklyn, Afta-1 is drawing inspiration from Sun-Ra and Flying Lotus alike, but speaks in his very own language. The best fitting label for his music is probably “cosmic”. His debut album “Aftathoughts Vol.1” was released on Circulations (Japan) and enjoyed heavy support by Benji B. Space is till the place when it comes to Afta-1. Or as the good folks over at Dusty Groove put it: “Cosmic keys and splashy beats, but all taken at a pace that’s much more laidback than other artists of this nature — not really hip hop, not really cosmic soul, but a uniquely isolated space that’s all its own!”
Go and get Aftathoughts and MPM Beat 45 #4.

A 22-year-old hailing from Glasgow, he has been perfecting his craft since the age of 12. After only releasing a handful of productions and painstakingly hard-to-find vinyl releases in the last few years, Hudson Mohawke has managed to become a much talked about producer.
He’s responsible for spearheading a movement of next generation beat music that has exploded from Glasgow this year (also see Rustie, Wireblock, LuckyMe, Numbers). It’s not just a Scottish thing either – these last six months have seen Hudson set off touring America, Australia & all across Europe!
With an ear for a pop hook and a forward thinking production aesthetic, our bets are that 2009 will hold an awful lot of action for this young producer. If you don’t believe us yet, wait for this killer first EP on Warp – with his debut album in the pipeline. warp. Get it now on Rushhour.
