J-Live "The Live Identity" + ATL & NYC Release Party

Nicki Minaj calls her multiple personalities different names. Weird, I know. J-Live calls all of his J-Live. I guess that's what makes J-Live dope (among other things). The multi-talented producer, engineer, rapper, DJ and more dropped a pretty fresh project ahead of his new project S.P.T.A. due out 9/27. Check out the mixtape. And enjoy. Chea.

H.W. Offers Up "Golden Rule" x "Expiration Date" for Cancer Benefit Project

Man, fuck Cancer. Right? Right! I lost a cousin at a very young age to Cancer and have watched friends and family alike struggle with losing folks to the disease. It's ugly. H.W., a friend of TMB and a Massachusetts based emcee reached out to me regarding a Cancer benefit album he's apart of called Beats for Brains through Starving Raptors. I dig the concept and support the cause. He offered up two tracks on the project and there's a release show scheduled for this Friday in Dover, NH at Fury's Publick House. Two solid tracks and a great cause. Support if you can, I'm sure folks will appreciate it. Chea!

@apathydgz "Stop What Ya Doin" feat. Celph Titled (Produced by DJ Premier)

Apathy has more bars than 18th street in Washington, DC and an appetite for destruction. And not only does he murder beats, he also get hoes (and apparently there's an app for that, leading me to believe I might need to borrow his phone). Add in Celph Titled on the feature and DJ Premier on the production and your neck will file a restraining order against this track. Primo really put his foot into this one and Apathy and Celph killed their verses. This joint was released a few days ago and the only thing I have left to say is Honkey Kong, August 23rd bitches. Enjoy. Chea!

Under the direction of Brooklyn T, Adebisi serves up a smooth video for the Matt Cody produced cut. I definitely dig it. Enjoy. Chea!

What I'm Watching: Oddisee "The Blooming"

Belgium's ZBS Studio reached out to Mello Music Group to put together a video for Oddisee's "The Blooming". According to MMG they were honored that ZBS wanted to "interpret the song and apply their vision to the track." Definitely a fresh joint that tells the journey of a young boy through life with Oddisee's smooth instrumental as the soundtrack of his story. Directed, shot and edited by Tomasz Cibulla and Wojciech Drożdż of ZBS Studios in Belgium, I dig this joint. Enjoy. Chea!

theOTHERSIDE "It Ain't But It Is" x "Gee Whiz"

Keno and Sauce Fonda are two of my favorite dudes. Talented and cool as shit. In addition to being a part of the Sacramento based T.U.S. (The Usual Suspect) with Chuuwee, J.GOOD, Konkwest, Haz Solo (Milwaukee), Jonathan Lowell (Boston), Drian, Tellapath, and Tone Da Under Dog - the duo make up theOTHERSIDE. Keno provides the rhymes and Sauce provides the soulful beats. With a few solo offerings under their belt, recently they decided to drop two previously unreleased bombs on the Internets. "It Ain't But It Is" and "Gee Whiz" are both dope cuts. Two tracks without a home on a project, they now find a place on these pages. Hit play and enjoy. Chea!

Gee Wiz "Sinsored"

I don't rhyme but I enjoy the hell out of beat tapes. I really do. Recently the homie Gee Wiz hit me with a preview of his latest Sinsored. I found my head nodding and enjoying the brief preview. Yesterday, he unleashed the full project. "Cheeseburger & a Coke" is definitely still my shit but the full project features a gang of other fresh beats too. Gee Wiz is a pretty talented producer and has been featured on the site a few times, most recently as the producer behind Signif's latest offering. The dude is fresh. Dig in to Sinsored and enjoy.
