When Animals Attack is a short but pretty dope mixtape by CT's own Political Animals in which they infuse a live band sound and Hip-Hop that I can definitely dig. I'm a huge fan of live instrumentation and when artists use it at their shows. So if you feel the same way, definitely download this with the quickness. And don't think the instruments overshadow the lyrics. Not at all. Substance, style, skill all make this free album one of quality. Check it.
7 songs of pure authentic HIP HOP stripped down to its roots of drums & bass. For fans of The Roots, KRS-ONE, Jedi Mind Tricks, NaS, Wu-Tang, 7L & Esoteric, and real music!
Mix some Hip-Hop, Training Day, Asher Roth & Nottz and this is what you get. If you haven't yet, go get that RAWTH EP available for free download at http://rawkoncept.com/rawthep. Quality music all around for the best price in town. Haha.
Dope, older track by Jay Electronica and video done up by Jason Goldwatch. Caught this in the emails but for more info, definitely check out Okayplayer.
For those of you that might have missed this track by Slum Village's Elzhi, here you go. This bonus track is off of Elzhi's Elmatic Mixtape which is an ode to Nas' Illmatic and is set to drop on May 10th. I'm a few days late with this myself but better late than never on dopeness like this. Check it
Not sure if you remember a while back when The Audible Doctor released The Spread EP as a free instrumental and asked for folks to record over those beats and send them his way. Well, next Thursday, May 12th he'll be releasing the Vocal Version of The Spread with the winning cuts, along with two bonus remixes. Today, the homie J57 sent over one of those bonus cuts. Check out "Church Night Remix" featuring June Haze. This joint is dope. Can't wait for the rest of the project. Enjoy. Chea!
It's Thursday and I offer up two dope videos that I caught via email. Today, you get a solid offering from Elzhi and Vakill. Enjoy.
Vakill offers up a video with a lot of twists for his Panik produced track "I Came 4 U", off the upcoming Armor of God, due out 6/14. Enjoy the Sense Hernandez directed video.
Folks are definitely looking forward to the new Elzhi project, the elmatic (a free album that serves as a tribute to Nas' Illmatic), due out May 10. I'm one of those people. Elzhi offers up the Gerard Victor video for "Halftime" featuring Will Sessions, to hold us over. Enjoy.
And there you have it, folks. The last and final 'speech' at the podium that Mr. TyRaiD is giving. Hope you enjoyed them and and if you missed any, be sure to click his name under Labels at the bottom of this post to play a little catch up.
Here is the final edition of RoQ'y TyRaiD @ The Podium, a musical editorial, as premiered via radio. Given the significance that both Nameless and Gravity Movement have over the series, this weeks episode features production from both, yes, BOTH. Part 1: Nameless and Part 2: Gravity Movement. It's been a fun ride...
The Final Episode... Start from the ending.
Week 28 " Grand Closing ":
Nameless: America abandons its backbone.
Gravity Movement: Good parenting & Bad Weather
I receive my fair share of loose tracks every week via email. The ones that aren't deleted, find their way onto either Hip-Hop Breakfast or The Mad Bloggers Show or my tumblr page. And every so often, I share those tracks here. Here are a few tracks from the inbox (and a few I've bumped into on the Internets). Today's offering comes from Has-Lo, MegaEarth65ive, Chuuwee, D. Julien, Mad Flows and Wombaticus Rex. Enjoy the music. And if you dig, support the artist.
Has-Lo'sIn Case I Don't Make It is a pretty fresh project. "Forgotten Styles" is his final single off the project. This jawn is dope. You can expect a few videos coming soon from the Philly emcee/producer, so be on the look out for those but in the meantime enjoy this track.
The folks over at Uncommon Records linked up with Isolated Wax to bring you the very political driven cut from MegaEarth65ive (Agartha Audio and Passive 65ive) featuring Adam Warlock. The press release reads, "the track breaks down some of the history behind the current actions by the US & NATO in Libya and the roots and lineage of an endless cycle of wars in the Middle East and Asia." Like I said, very political. Enjoy.
The Sacramento homie Chuuwee offers up a new cut from the upcoming project with Lee Bannon, Fever Hunt, due out this fall. Enjoy "It Was Great Here" in the meantime.
I've seen D. Julien's name floating around here and there and peeped a few of his features. Yesterday he hit me with his Clyde Strokes produced track "World." While it won't be on his Ready for Tomorrow project (which drops on May 31), it's a pretty solid cut. Enjoy.
Another one of Sacramento's finest, Mad Flows, offers up the title cut, "Classick", from his upcoming project. With production from Lee Bannon, this is definitely a dope track. Look out for Classick dropping soon. I'm looking forward to it too.
I could write an intro to this Wombaticus Rex track but the homie Humpasaur Jones explains it much better. "So this here is an old track that got stuck in the backwoods of Vermont for years. Back when I was a genuine hick rapper doing shows and growing weed up by the Canadian border, I was part of a group called Wombaticus Rex." Yeah, hilarious. Wombaticus Rex are doing a reunion tour throughout the whole month of May. Enjoy this track because I definitely do. Chea!
One track, eight versions. Talk about a maxi-single. Ha! The homie ScholarMan links up with some of his favorite producers to present "A Tree Grows." Damn, it's pretty tough to pick a favorite because each give off such a dope vibe. Hit play, find your favorite and then hit up the comment section down below. Enjoy. Chea!
"A Tree Grows is a song that I have been slowly crafting for the past few months - probably the longest I have spent on one joint. When I began writing it, the goal was a song with hooks but I couldnt find a good stopping point between verses so it turned into one long work. After getting the verse finished, I couldnt find/make the "perfect" beat for it...me raising the bar on me I guess. So I decided to record multiple versions, using some beats from my favorite producers as well as my own. Pick your favorite.. peace." -ScholarMan
