Khan Knows. Ha! A lot of folks have been talking about the Lord Knows beat from Drake's Take Care. It's definitely one of the standout productions on the album. If you haven't heard the beat, it's filthy. So, Brown Bag AllStar and TMB favorite Soul Khan decided to jump on the beat and well ... you know what, I'll let Soul Khan's bars take it from here. Spoiler Alert: He kills it. Gotdamn. Enjoy. Chea!
I can't remember who put me on to these dudes but the California crew has had my attention ever since. Their style is cool, the music is dope and their videos are always really creative. OverDoz. keeps that trend going with their mini movie for "Come First". Directed by CALMATIC, I definitely dig this joint. Hit play and enjoy. Chea!
"If you find any of these bars entertaining, educational, or you just rock with em all together, please feel free to spread it among your people."
The Working Class Dreamer Stanza drops off another Broadcast from Georgia, taking on some of the hot topics in the news. While sometimes Jimmy Fallon slow jams the news, the ATL emcee speeds it up a bit through rhyme. The new verse is about Michael Jackson's doctor, Heavy D's passing, Joe Paterno's team secret, and the kidnapping of Wilson Ramos.
Charmingly Ghetto teams up with our blog fam over at Donuts & Milk to present a pretty cool project in Study A'Broad : The International Mixtape. Definitely a solid offering from the Boston native, who has compiled some solid tracks with great production and some solid features. Here's what had to say:
Donuts & Milk has been blessed to help present Charmingly Ghetto's latest offering to the world of music. Study A'Broad : The International Mixtape is as unique as it is innovative. The Boston Native has enlisted an incredible team of producers from all over the world for the purpose of uniting the Hip Hop globe. While no one producer collabed on more than two tracks the entire album has a feeling is progressive as a whole. The jazzed out golden era / boom bap tracks give the mixtape a throwback feeling creating the perfect backdrop for Charmingly Ghetto to spit his futuristic message. If you had any doubts about the state of Hip Hop this download will keep your head nodding and squash your fears. Study A'broad : The International Mixtape is evidence the Hip Hop is alive, well and thriving across the entire world!
I'm telling you, this group is high up on my list of favorites. Whether it's creating dope ass music over their own production or with something like this joint using the Beastie Boys' 'Make Some Noise'. Bernz and Wrekonize be on their job! Let me find out I walk into a bar with a couple of ill emcees going off after some drinks. That might be the best bar I ever walk into. Haha. Check it.
Watch what happens when the people have a little too much time on their hands and unlimited access to alcohol. No livers we hurt in the making of this video.

Over the Beastie Boys' "Make Some Noise"

That's his own self-described bio. Guess I don't have much else to tell you but to check out the track he put out. I dig it. Doesn't sound like many 21 year olds. Refreshing. Hit play and let us at The Mad Bloggers know what you think with a comment or two.
Caught this on my Tumblr timeline and I let it go time after time after time. Then one day, I decided to click play and I gotta say I'm pretty surprise. I mean, I didn't know what to expect at all but I'm pleasantly surprised. This joint sounds pretty good and having Apollo Brown produce the track is always a good move in my book. But yeah, now my ears are open for this dude. I'll be checking out his future work. Take a listen.

This is kind of a break from my norm but music associated with Nicolay is never a bad diversion from the norm. This EP had me floating. I hit play and immediately relaxed listening to the sounds Nicolay, The Foreign Exchange, and the three person jazz ensemble put together. Download this free EP and I'm sure you'll do the same.
+FE Music proudly presents the "Shibuya Session EP", a collaboration between Nicolay and the Raleigh-based exploratory jazz trio The Hot At Nights, led by 8-string guitar virtuoso (and The Foreign Exchange guitarist) Chris Boerner with Matt Douglas on sax/woodwinds and Nick Baglio on drums.
The EP was recorded at Sound Pure Studios in Durham NC and features new interpretations and arrangements of eight instrumental compositions from Nicolay's 2009 album "City Lights Vol. 2: Shibuya".
Check out BC Connect hitting topics like the Occupy Wall Street, banks, government, music, and a few other things. Cy Matics and B-Eazy, borrowing Alchemist's production, handle their business over this track. Take a listen.

Sean Born is set to release his new album "Behind The Scale" Janaury 24th with Mello Music Group and this track, which rough draft was constructed back in '09, is a taste of what you'll be in store for. Check it.
R. Kelly is back addressing a few of them folks that had something to say about him recently, hating as he says. He just got back from surgery and he's not holding anything back on this track letting them same folks know that they can "Shut Up."
Wrekonize is back....again! Oooooh baby! This dude comes up with more dope freestyles than some folks do regular tracks. Check out his latest one. Enjoy!
