Download ... Theo Martins "Sincerely Yours, The Dance Floor"


The You Can't Do That On Television EP released last April was my first introduction to Rhode Island emcee Theo Martins. I thought the dude was dope from the second I hit play on that project. I've been following him ever since. There have been a few tracks between that release and his latest, Sincerely Yours, the Dance Floor, which dropped today.


With his latest project, it's safe to say that Theo doesn't believe in being safe through his music. He steps out boldly. What Sincerely Yours, the Dance Floor ultimately proves is that you can't put Theo's sound in a box nor one specific genre. With it's elements of hip-hop, pop, electro and more, Theo delivers a very fresh and original product with Sincerely Yours, the Dance Floor. I enjoyed it.

In an age of many cookie-cutter music folks, Theo's sound is refreshing. Sincerely Yours, the Dance Floor is dope. Enjoy. Chea!

Check out one of my favorite cuts, "White Friends." If you dig it, head over to DJBooth and download it.

Check It ... Savant, Dominique Larue & Dee Jackson - "Rely On Me" (prod. by iIL MeeL)

Check the latest. Never disappoints. Dope.


Check point 5 of 2011... #CrashCourse 8. Three days away from embarking on the Abstract Music Group's Spring Tour 2011 of the United States' northeastern region, AMG's Savant links with Chicago's Peerless Recordings to bring you the latest addition to his Crash Course Leak Series, the heartwarming "Rely On Me". Sonically laced by Philadelphia's iIL MeeL (also the site of the tour's jump off), the Dominique Larue & Dee Jackson assisted ode to family exudes a rare warmth that's certain to stir the soul of the listener.

What I'm Watching ... Kap Kallous - "Like I Do ft. S.K.I.P." (Prod by. Optiks)

I dig this track by Kap and appreciate the fact that he enlisted S.K.I.P. for the vocals on this. Check it.



Kap Kallous is back again with his second single from his forthcoming LP "I Should Have Kept My Mouth Shut"; this time with the infectiously ominous "Like I Do" featuring Orlando favorite S.K.I.P(Second Subject Recordings). The combination of Kallous' true to grit lyrics over Optiks creepy church organs and impeccable drum selections gives this cut instant replay value. Get in the car and put on "Like I Do", We guarantee you'll like what it does.

Directed by SeanDammit
Title Sequence: Miguel Reyes

Download ... Mean Doe Green "Black Suits & Shovels"


This Mean Doe Green joint starts tough with the Good Fellas reference. Then, we're off to the races after the beat drops on "Dig It." The Sacramento emcee came to rhyme and rhyme he does on his latest offering, Black Suits & Shovels. A few features from some of Sacramento's finest, including the homie Chuuwee and C-Plus. Mean Doe Green also delivers some dope production from the likes of Grinch, Lee Bannon and others. You can't deny Black Suits & Shovels is a win. Hit play and enjoy. Chea!

Jesse Abraham "The One Day EP"


One thing you can always expect from a Jesse Abraham track and project is high energy and wordplay. That's what you find on Jesse's latest, The One Day EP.

The project that dropped at the top of the month, features the single that initially didn't have a project, "Spiderman On Vitamins."A few weeks back Jesse dropped a pretty fresh video for the track.

In addition to Spiderman there are few features from the likes of Eric Sosa and Fresh Daily. Also alongside Jesse's wordplay are some fresh beats from Spills, Jinesis and a gang of tracks with K.O. Beatz behind the boards.

The One Day EP is a cool follow up to Jesse's Bars & Nobull. The one thing I always liked about Jesse's sound is the passion behind the lyrics.

My three favorite cuts, "One Day", "Life is a Free Throw" and "Ridiculous." Overall it's a fresh project. Hit play and enjoy.

Raze "Off My Rocker" featuring Logic (of The Hollowz)



Since last summer’s release of his sophomore album, Living in Technocolor, Raze’s reputation of being a wild card and too blunt at times has grown exponentially with a constant stream of public thoughts that call out whatever he feels needs to be called out at that time.

Finally, Raze admits that he’s gone “crazy” with his new song that features the equally-as-tortured rapper, Logic (of The Hollowz).

The song “Off My Rocker” (produced by Raze himself) unleashes nothing less than an eyebrow raising, and even macabrely humorous, walk through the thoughts of two emcees that aren’t afraid to let the “crazy” fly when it’s proper and necessary to do so.
