TMB Presents: "Otisis" Jinesis Produced & Otis Redding Sampled Beat Tape

Two fresh singles. And now we're here. I'm proud to present Otisis.

Folks that know me well, know how much I enjoy the work of Otis Redding. The passion in his voice, and the heartfelt feelings behind his music have long resonated with me. And to think the body of work he created was done in such a short period of time considering his untimely death. But his music lives on.

Folks who follow the blog also know how much I've come to respect the work of New York producer Jinesis. His music has been featured on the site numerous times, whether as an individual post or by way of a production credit for another artist. The dude is talented.

During one of our online convos about music I pitched Jinesis the idea of sampling Otis Redding tracks. I won't take credit for the creation of this incredible project, I just planted the seed. Jinesis truly bought this project to life and made it his own. He hit the ground running, taking inspiration from every day life and applying it to the beat creation on Otisis. You can feel his passion in the production.

I'm proud and very pleased with what he created. Jinesis is a very talented producer and Otisis is some of his finest work. Hit play and vibe out to the smooth samplings of Otis Redding as interpreted by Jinesis. Enjoy. Chea!

T. Hobbs "Dedication"

Back when O and I first started this blog, I depended a lot on music submissions for posts. I had always found things by poking around the net but submissions gave way to a lot of new music and filled a lot of space on the site in the early days. Now, two years later and most of the music comes through word of mouth. Whether it's the word of an artist whose music I respect or a fellow blogger whose taste in music I admire.

This T. Hobbs track hits TMB through our blogging-brother JCrillz over at HipHopIsCoolAgain. Crillz and I share a very similar taste in music and earlier today via twitter he sent me this track. Had he been a rapper who I didn't know I would have reported his ass as spam! Ha! But we often share good music among each other and other bloggers. So, I hit play and was immediately captivated by the LA by way of Queens, NY emcee, who just happens to be a female. I dig the Focus produced track. Enjoy. Chea!

What I'm Watching: R. Kelly “Radio Message”

So, wait, we call the radio to request a song that's our song? That's how we do it? I see you Kellz. This reminds me of that scene from Brown Sugar when Dre' calls Sidney and asks her when she fell in love with Hip-Hop. Damn, that is the second time I referenced Brown Sugar today. Ha! Anyway, enjoy the latest from R. Kelly.

Dice Raw "Baby Come Home"

Dice Raw is dope and last week he put out a pretty strong project with his first installment of The Greatest Rapper Never trilogy ‘Preservation.’ Along with the new album, he dropped this promo video, which you may have seen on my tumblr page, as well as the full track. Enjoy. Chea!

“This is a big opportunity for me to show fans what I’ve been working on the last several years.  The Greatest Rapper Never is my story but I also think it’s the story of a lot of artists who never got their proper shine signed and unsigned in the business.  I’m really hype about this music and I think you’re going to like it because I kept it one hundred,” says Dice Raw.

Preservation on iTunes

Algorhythms "Ram Nam Satya Hai" x Humpasaur Jones "Funeral Groupies"

Damn, sometimes I'm a slacker when it comes to checking emails and then posting great music when I find it within those emails. Well, I've long been a fan of the content that comes from the good folks over a World Around Records. Recently, they shared two great tracks with me and it's only right that I share them with you.

First, a cool track from Algorhythms. A laid back and very chill joint with a remix provided by s. maharba remix. According to World Around, the remix is so smooth they may never release the original. Ha!



The other joint is one I had heard a while back when Justin over at World Around shared it with me. I thought the cut was dope then and now they are finally getting around to releasing it to the public. I dig it and hope you do too.
