A few nights ago Bronx producer Jinesis emailed me the advance of his latest project, My Thoughts Exactly the EP. I hit play and just mellowed out to the smooth beats featuring spoken word poet Knickie D, used in some strategic placement on the EP. My Thoughts Exactly shows the work of a very talented producer. According to Jinesis it's a redux of some of his early work. On some occasions a beat moves you in a way that you don't even want vocals to touch the track. That's how I feel on a track like "Black Hornet." I vibe out to "Sun TreeZ" too. I'd like to definitely hear someone spit over "Stones". Overall, this is a solid project. So, sit back and hit play. Enjoy the beats of the talented Jinesis. Chea!

The inbox provided us with this dopeness of a story in lyrical form by Has-Lo. Hit play and enjoy.
Has-Lo's "Black Rose - GumShoe Remix." The original version of "Black Rose" appeared on MMG's "Helpless Dreamer" and the remix is now provided by Culture I. "Black Rose" is an exercise in storytelling, and is basically a Noir detective story on wax, thus the "GumShoe Remix."
Straight from the vaults (#noDisney) and mixed properly, Independent's Day Showcase alum The Doppelgangaz re-release this dope jawn, "Timbuktu (Remix)". So, in the words of The Doppelgangaz -- for the Sharks and Sharkettes, enjoy. Ha!

Check point 4 of 2011... #CrashCourse 7. Savant continues to strengthen the ties between Chicago and Tucson, AZ, pairing one of the Chi's premier turntablists, Rice the Sound Transmitter, with Tucson's most potent two way threat since Richard Jefferson, Smoke Brothers emcee/ beatsmith, Habeas Corpus. Savant and Corpus swap bars over the Corpus laced pounding, leftist instrumental before Rice breathes life into what seems to be the long lost art of scratching.
