Daily Bread (Hassaan Mackey & Apollo Brown) - Night Time [Bonus Track]

Damn, this joint is dope. I can't recall the last "ok" track these folks put out. Listen for yourself.

Apollo Brown is about to hit the road to tour Europe with The Left and Oddisee, but before he leaves Apollo linked back up with his Daily Bread cohort Hassaan Mackey. Together they've created a new non-album bonus cut to hold us over until Apollo is back stateside to put in more work with Hassaan. The new track is titled Night Time.

What EMS Is Listening To ... "Sightings (Mixtape Vol. 1)" x Anduze

First off let me say, I'm into eclectic and unique sounding music. I'm also a fan of the instrumentation of a song. So based on those two things alone, Anduze's Sightings, Mixtape Vol. 1. creates a well-balanced mixture of these two key elements. I'm actually QUITE impressed. You can definitely throw this on and either just chill , get up and dance in your living room or cruise down the highway on your way to Miami. Any of these options work! My recommendation would be to download, pronto! You'll really, really appreciate the vibe that Sightings, Mixtape Vol. 1 has to offer... It's just a press of a button. No, seriously ;) It's on my Mp3 player. Is it on yours?

Enjoy your Friday night, peoples!

PremRock & Willie Green "Had to Be Me" feat. C​-​Rayz Walz, Soul Khan & DJ Addikt

I'm a fan of the one emcee/one producer projects. There is often a cohesiveness created when this formula is applied. And so, PremRock and Willie Green give the formula a go and create magic with their upcoming self-titled album. The latest single off the project is just another look at the chemistry created by the duo on a cut featuring C-Rayz Walz and Soul Khan, with cuts by DJ Addikt,. Look out for their album due to drop September 28th via Isolated Wax Records. It's solid. Chea!

DTMD - "Makin' Dollas"

Definitely getting this album. Check out this free track and let us know what you think.

The News:DTMD (Dunc & Toine Makin' Dollas) has officially released their debut album!  To celebrate the exclusive early itunes release, DTMD is giving away the title track "Makin' Dollas".  The new album features DMV representers Kev Brown, Oddisee, Drew Kid, yU, Quartermaine, and Godly MC.

About the Song:

The title track, Makin' Dollas, kicks off with Toine announcing his intentions: "The syntax is stress relief, in other words, if we speaking candidly, I be spittin' for the sanity, not really for the vanity."  This style of articulate, sharp wordplay infuses Dunc's production with the kind of wise, intelligent raps that make listeners hit rewind.  The beat itself is a working man's boom bap replete with lush guitar and vinyl scratches.

About the Album:

Dunc’s rich, full-bodied production serves as a natural backdrop to Toine’s technically astute rhymes, layered deep with smooth instrumentation evocative of such luminaries as J. Dilla, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Pete Rock, each of whom shaped the classic hip hop sounds of Dunc’s childhood. Toine’s energy and bright delivery belie wisdom beyond his years, inspiring deep reflection as easily as sharp battle fare and complex rhyme schemes. Maintaining a close working relationship with PG neighbor Oddisee and assuming a strong presence in the collective atmosphere of the DMV’s hip hop scene, DTMD appeared separately on MMG’s “Helpless Dreamer” compilation, Toine rhyming on “Different Now” and Dunc producing Stik Figa’s “From the Top.” Now the debut album Makin' Dollas hits itunes for an early pre-release exclusive today September 20th!  The CD release is next tuesday September 27th with a vinyl edition coming down the road.
