NEW RELEASE: The Cranberry Show "Paranormal Karaoke"

I've either come to fully appreciate their sound or The Cranberry Show have grown more within their music. I've always liked what Young Focus and Arcane did with their music. Their sound has always been bold, creating the music they liked and believed in. But I've always said that the Milwaukee duo delivers music that's an acquired taste but sonically they've done something special with their DJBooth and DonutsAndMilk.com backed project that is unlike any of their previous projects. I dare to even say, this is their finest work to date and if you weren't paying attention to them before, you should press play on Paranormal Karaoke. I have a feeling you might enjoy this one. Chea!

Jimmy The Bang? "Loop Playback"

e.d.g.e. is one of my favorite emcees. And he's a cool dude too. Just recently he pulled together a collection of some cuts he 'loop technician'd." I'll pretend like that is actually a word as we jump into this Loop Playback project from what you could call e.d.g.e.'s alter ego Jimmy The Bang? Enjoy.

Via e.d.g.e.:
Aside from rhyming, I often make beats on the side...I wouldn't call myself a producer, or even a beatmaker though. The reason being, most of my  work consists of repeated 4-bar loops, more often than not without basslines! So I'd prefer to call myself a "Loop Technician", hence the title "Loop Playback". My "Loop Technician" name has always been Jimmy The Bang? (the question mark is a rhetorical one)... Either way, enjoy my collection of loops that I placed in chronological order (Early Evening was created in 2005 and Sleep Pattern in 2010), and feel free to download them. Most of them have been used for my own songs though, so if any MC's want to use them, mixtapes are fine.

What I'm Watching: ARTZ "Public Enemy #1"

"Public enemy N0.1 was inspired by the politics of the music industry, even though I am a passionate artist throughout my journey of building a foundation for my music career I crossed paths with what I like to call 'industry vultures.'"

Cool video from ARTZ. Enjoy.

Interview: Miss Special x Exile

Our West Coast ally Miss Special (or Miss Interview around these parts) caught up with Exile and talked about The Ecology with Fashawn, new Emanon project, Jay Electronica, Miguel and more. Another solid interview. Hit play and enjoy.

Last week before his show at 330 Ritch with Blu, I got to chat with one of my favorite producers, Exile. We spoke about the craziest thing he ever sampled, his second album with Fashawn "The Ecology", a new project as Emanon with Aloe Blacc and a Dag Savage project (including a free mixtape beforehand). We also spoke about working early with Miguel, his phone call with Jay Electronica, and his fascination with the radio.
