TMB x The Wanderer Presents: The Accomplices "People, Places, Things (Runnin')" feat. Tre DeJean (REMIXES EP)

The homie BroadNMarket reached out to me on behalf of his dope production duo The Accomplices (with The Jake) about getting on board with this project. TMB jumped on, no brainer. So, we set out to remix the Tre DeJean track that inspired this tshirt from The Wanderer. BroadNMarket bought along a remix from Instra-mental and I enlisted Motel Eola and Diatonic. The results is this remix ep. This track is from The Accomplices 10-90 EP. If you download the full project, you get a discount code for The Wanderer. If you send us a pic wearing the gear, you get the download to this project. In the meantime, enjoy the stream. Chea!

O-Lay & Diatonic "No Airplay"

Just after the re-release of Meanwhile... (co-presented with donutsandmilk.com), O-Lay and Diatonic reached out to me with the rough version of No Airplay. Now, with the final version in hand and a video to match, the Minnesota emcee/producer duo unleash another solid track ahead of a new project. If I had a label (with a budget), I'd sign these guys. But instead I'll do the next best thing and that's share their music with you and hope that you spread the word. Enjoy. Chea!

Diatonic x TMB Presents "STEREOPHONIC"

You might know the Twin Cities producer Matt Mulheran aka Diatonic from being the other half of O-Lay & Diatonic. Well, after a successful re-release of their Meanwhile... project, the beat maker releases his very first beat tape with a little help from TMB. The dude is dope and we're proud to be involved with the project. Enjoy the beats. Chea!

20 year old, Matt Mulheran finally creates his very first Beat-Tape. He is on a mission to become a prominent producer in the Twin Cities Underground Hip- Hop scene. Since being drawn to Hip-Hop by the jazz infused music of A Tribe Called Quest, Matt, operating under the name of Diatonic, has continually pushed to create a new breed of Hip-Hop. The D.J./ producer/ audio engineer is currently enrolled in the Bachelor's Degree for Recording Technology at McNally Smith College of Music. Primarily influenced by Hip-Hop pioneers 9th Wonder, J.Dilla, and Pete Rock, Diatonic poses a sharp contrast to the today's mainstream Hip-Hop by rejuvenating classic songs and creating lively soulful Hip-Hop instrumentals.

TMB x DonutsandMilk.com Presents: O-Lay & Diatonic "Meanwhile..."

The Minnesota emcee/producer duo O-Lay and Diatonic re-release Meanwhile... presented by TMB and DonutsanMilk.com. Meanwhile... is a combination of songs that serve as an intermediate project between their debut, The Set List, and their upcoming project, Safe Travels. An album that was all but forgotten, I linked up with the crew to repackage and push their work. I dig what they do and believe in quality music. O-Lay and Diatonic definitely deliver the goods. I look forward to more music from them soon. In the meantime, enjoy. Chea!
