Check It ... Adrienne Mack-Davis "Echo Back"

Yesterday I posted up some information about Adrienne Mack-Davis' new project and release party. Also mentioned was this bonus track, "Echo Back", which dropped on DJBooth.net yesterday. It's a very powerful track. The Spills produced track has been on repeat for the last 20 minutes or so. I dig it. Hit play and enjoy. Oh and look out for the upcoming project, For the Love, dropping February 15.

What I'm Watching ... The Cranberry Show "Time Of Day"

The Cranberry Show (Arcane and Young Focus) are some pretty funny guys. As I once wrote, their sound is a fusion of fun tracks and high energy, with a comical approach. You get that same type of energy on their latest project, Regular Ass N*ggas. I've said in the past that while TCS will appeal mostly to a younger audience, not all older heads will write them off. "Time Of Day" is a prime example of a track that both audiences will vibe to. These fellas don't take themselves too seriously but they deliver. And while lyrically they won't blow you away, they have some great punchlines. I dig most of the music these young cats put out. So, check out the video up top and you can download Regular Ass N*ggas below. Enjoy.

Three times a week e.d.g.e. will release a new (or unreleased) track. Colorblind Eye is off of e.d.g.e.'s upcoming All Flow Everything project. As e.d.g.e. writes, "addresses some serious issues facing Black culture in today's society." It's a pretty dope track. Enjoy.

Check It ... Atilla - "Beat So Fresh" (Prod. by Nez)

This joint right here I pulled from the inbox was on hold for a minute. Finally got to listen to it and I did a few times. I think it kinda grew on me. It's not bad. Atilla is unique but I'm going to say I enjoyed it. Check it out and hit us up with your thoughts on this joint.

A self proclaimed bad soul singer as oppose to a good rapper, Atilla uses more resources in one creative sitting than any normal hip hopper today could wrap their head around. Technically sound is the goal and understatement that brings a smile to Atilla daily.
Starting out drawing comics in elementary school, Sean Minor, better known in the KC Hip Hop scene as Atilla, learned the D.I.Y model early and which further lead him to tackle life with a more entrepreneurial outlook. Selling comics and beats early only fueled on youth was enough to cement Atilla's future in music and as a multi-media artist.
Raised in Kansas City, he was exposed to many forms of art from many different mediums. Atilla's background includes classical training in music, print, web design, video, and more from the Kansas City Art Institute, where he will graduate in Spring 2011.
Strata Type-1 is a debut and retrospect of sorts packaged as a collection of music began during the beginnings of Atilla's college experience. Old ideas, new ideas, and the challenge of encompassing all of the creative attributes can at times be a task. Atilla touches everything he puts out, from the beats to the mix, vocals to the master, design to video, he has become a creative Guru at only the age of 22. Open your ears in 2011 and listen for Atilla, he's been working diligently for you all along and you never even knew it.

Check It ... Pharoahe Monch - "Clap (One Day)" featuring Showtyme & DJ Boogie Blind

Playing catch up sucks. Playing Pharoahe Monch's "Clap" does NOT! I can't wait for this album to drop. I'm a huge fan of his other two. Incredible mc. Incredible. Read more about it, turn your volume up and then hit play.

Pharoahe Monch W.A.R. (We Are Renegades)

July 27th 2023:
Lieutenant Gaviston speaks of a recon mission in Kabul, Afghanistan where he discovers classified information that changes EVERYTHING that he believes about this W.A.R. This information is uploaded & transmitted through time. If you eventually hear this; you have been ordained or genetically pre-exposed to have received this information. What you will eventually hear is a WARNING.

These words are powerfully delivered by Idris Elba to set a tone for Pharoahe Monch's upcoming album W.A.R. (We Are Renegades). The material presented is a consistent message from start to finish with new epiphanies exposed after various sets of songs. The order of music helps the listener see the vivid stories that Pharoahe is painting through the use of his lyrics. The production compliments Monch's delivery & takes on a genuine art form that could easily stand on its own. Live instruments resonate at the start & end of certain tracks, such as his title song W.A.R. featuring Immortal Technique & Vernon Reid. Producers Exile, Marco Polo, M-Phazes, Fatin, Diamond D, Mike Loe, Samiyam, Adam Deitch, Eric Krasno & Pharoahe Monch himself help shape the album into what will be Monch's greatest work to date.

Pharoahe Monch's vision for the album is supported with guest features that provide an eclectic mix of sounds. Fans can look forward to material with Jill Scott, Styles P, Citizen Cope, Jean Grae, Royce Da 5' 9," Immortal Technique, Vernon Reid, Phonte, Mr. Porter, Mela Machinko, Showtyme & DJ Boogie Blind.

W.A.R. (We Are Renegades) is scheduled to impact in late March through W.A.R Media/Duck Down Music Inc.

Adrienne Mack-Davis "For The Love" Release Party + Bonus Track

I caught this info earlier and wanted to pass it along. Adrienne Mack-Davis performed back in December's Independent's Day Showcase. Check out info on her upcoming release, event and bonus track.

Free from the confines of genre, For The Love, a Fighting for Futures project by Adrienne Mack-Davis, will debut at Arctica, Monday, February 14, 2011.  Click the link for address/directions.  Admission will be $10.00, doors open at 8:30 pm.

Hosted by BS and Miss Taylor, with art showcases by Marthalicia, Andy Solo Estevez and Doron Lev, the For The Love Release Party is also spreading the love - portions of admission will help raise money for Fighting For Futures’ next outreach program in Nepal, beginning May 1, 2011.

Join Ms. Mack-Davis to celebrate the love as she presents her new project of hope through music to the masses with support from performances by Cammy D, Otis Clapp, Warren Britt, Kevin Patrick Nelson, Smash Mechanics and Boomclique.  First act hits the stage at 9:00 pm with Adrienne Mack-Davis on at 10:30 pm.
