Download: J-Live - "Around The Sun"

Fortunate to see this dude live just days ago performing tracks off this album. He put together a great show. Picked a dope and fluid lineup of acts. The night, in my eyes and ears, was a success. Then I copped the album and got to zone out with in at home, speakers blaring. J-Live has done it again. Another dope album assisted by a few of his equally talented peers is in the books. You can listen to "Around The Sun" in its entirety on his bandcamp and make sure you cop it as well. You won't regret it.

J-Live's 10th release and 6th full length album, "Around The Sun" marks yet another growth spurt for the indie hip hop veteran. "Around The Sun features a smooth yet gritty OG boom bap New York sound. It's a cohesive work of art, but still an eclectic listen with a wide range of production as exhibited by the first two released tracks "Money Matters" prod. by Oddisee and "Not Listening" prod. by Korede.

What I'm Watching: Boog Brown - "Windows Open"

Boog Brown is so dope. Her style, flow, music exudes a chill that gets my head nodding, eyes closed in some zoned out mode. Very talented emcee, Boog, releases the visuals to a single off her upcoming "The Late Bloom".

Boog Brown - "Baby Girl" (prod. Georgia Muldrow)

Both versions have their own feel to it and both work for me. Boog Brown doesn't disappoint on "Baby Girl" dedicating this track to those hard working, talented women in the world. Take a listen.

Boog Brown has released her first ever vinyl 7" as part of Mello Music's new monthly series. The record features 2 songs produced by Georgia Anne Muldrow. The first "My Love Rmx" was featured on Boog's Brown Study Remixes album, but the B-Side is a previously unreleased track that Georgia laid the soundscape under titled "Baby Girl". The 7" vinyl series is limited to just 300 copies of each edition! To give listeners a taste, Boog & MMG are giving the B-Side track "Baby Girl" along with a second version of "Baby Girl" - both produced by Georgia Anne Muldrow.

Boog Brown - "Detroit" (prod. Apollo Brown)

This connection between Boog and Apollo on this track sounds so damn effortlessly mesmerizing. Boog Brown is easily creeping up on my list of adamantly admired emcees with every release she puts out or is on with Apollo being on my similar list for producers. Gotta love it when dopeness like this is free. Listen, download, and bump it.

Boog Brown is getting ready for a big 2012: she just dropped her full length remix project The Brown Study Remixes; has a free birthday party planned at 529 in Atlanta on February 9th w/ yU performing live; had her first vinyl 7" dropped today, January 17th; is releasing her debut album with Apollo - Brown Study - on special edition vinyl in March; and is about to record a new project with famed West Coast fOnkateer Georgia Anne Muldrow that will be out this fall on Mello Music Group. To ring in the year though, Boog is giving away an all new track she & Apollo Brown put together titled "Detroit."

Boog Brown + Stanza - "Together" (prod King I Divine) [Beatz & Lyrics 2 Go Vol. 2]

Boog Brown is an ill ass emcee and a half. I've been convinced. She's teamed up with ATL's Stanza, whom we've been keeping an ear on here at TMB, and the results are nothing less than head nodding. King I Divine put his foot in the production as well. And to think, they recorded this during the 3 day festival down there in Georgia. Good stuff here.

The first leak from The Beatz & Lyrics Show’s annual Beatz & Lyrics 2 Go 2011 A3C mixtape is here! Atlanta MC Stanza teams up with Detroit’s own Boog Brown over a King I Divine production. This record is a small sampling of the type of collabs you will find on the project. All music for the mixtape was recorded during A3C, the 3-day hip hop festival in Atlanta, Ga on-site in Unique Squared’s Mobile Studio and at Salem Psalms Library in Atlanta, Ga.

What I'm Watching: Koncept & Tranzformer x Boog Brown & Apollo Brown

Initially I was gonna hold both of these until my Thursday series of posts but fuck all that because these two tracks and videos are dope. So this is part two of What I'm Watching. It's fresh that both videos come from one producer, one emcee projects.

The homie J57 of the mighty Brown Bag Allstars stays putting quality music in my inbox. He hit me up yesterday with the track and then today with the video. "Change" is a dope track featuring Jefferson Price off the Koncept x Tranzformer More Than Meets The Eye EP. Enjoy the simple yet dope visuals below.



"Running those gums like you're toothless..." 

This Boog Brown video I spotted over at Potholes. Boog spits straight bars on "U.P.S." Gotdamn! This track is off the Boog Brown x Apollo Brown Brown Study. Dope track. Enjoy. Chea!
