Copywrite's "Seratonin" (produced by Josh Gabriel) is from his upcoming sophomore album "Life and Times of Peter Nelson" which will be released by Man Bites Dog Records on 11/16/2010 (iTunes release) and 11-30-2010 (Retail release).
I don't know much about AKIRA, (アキラ?) the 1988 Japanese animated action film written and directed by Katsuhiro Otomo based on his hit manga, per wikipedia, but I do know that I like this new track by Illecism. "Microphone so powerful, I name that girl Akira" plays over and over in my head after a few spins of this track. So far, what I've heard from Illecism, I find satisfactory. Haha. Check it.
Here's Breez Evaflowin' off his latest album with a track titled The Best, remixed by a talented Dirt E. Dutch and it features an amazing line up of guests. Read the story behind the album and check out the track at the end.
AS HE GOES ON... IS THIS THE LAST WE WILL SEE OF BREEZ EVAHFLOWIN?
With his last album receiving rave reviews for the way it dealt with the angst of dealing with personal and artistic transition, Breez Evahflowin's newest album As He Goes On... set for release on October 12, 2010 reveals the mature MC: relaxed, confident, and wise. If the last album outlined the personal battles facing Breez as an MC, his newest reveals the aftermath. Unpretentious, at peace with his status as a mature artist ready to leave the game, Breez delivers his closing argument. The verdict? As He Goes On... is the last testament of an MC. It's a title which alludes to the passing of a life.
In an interview with UGSMAG.com Breez acknowledges how he has changed during the course of his career. Coming into the scene as a combative battle rapper, he is leaving it as a songwriter who makes music "from a 38-old, for people in their 30s and maybe people in their 20s who understand what I’m talking about." If a person's music reflects their life, then As He Goes On.... reveals the changes of growing older, ultimately opening the door to the final transition. In As He Goes On... Breez steps through that door with no regrets.
Another dope freestyle entry caught over at DJBooth's spot. Check it.

I feel like I had heard more about Fresh Daily before I had heard any of his actual music. Then I finally got a hold of one of his tracks and was impressed by the Brooklyn emcee with a keen sense of style and straight lyrical abilities. His vision shows through his music. His art. Anyway, if you're unfamiliar with Fresh Daily, you should definitely get familiar with the dude. He's dope.
So, Fresh decided to take the challenge this week. Check out how he answered five random questions after the jump.
