TMB x Madden Miles Presents Hathadays

Last November Wisconsin beat maker Madden Miles and TheMadBloggers.com teamed up to drop A Beat For You, The Donny Hathaway Beat Tape. Recently we took some of those beats and shared it with three up and coming fresh emcees; SigNif from NYC by way of Milwaukee, e.d.g.e. from Vancouver and JohnNY U. of NYC. The result is Hathadays, which includes three short verses and a few unused beats on the 11 minute EP. We hope you enjoy. Chea!

What I'm Watching: Oddisee "You Know Who You Are (Acoustic)" feat. Olivier Daysoul

Oddisee's People Hear What They See project is dope. Real dope. I've been rocking with it since last Tuesday, and via the stream for a week before that. And it hasn't gotten old. It gets better. The album is now available on both vinyl and disc (as well as MP3). To celebrate that, Oddisee and his team at Mello Music Group unleash a dope acoustic version of You Know Who You Are featuring Olivier Daysoul, taking the track to another level. Hit play and enjoy. And if you haven't copped this album yet, stop sleeping.

Interview: Q-Tip on Shade 45's All Out Show

Our West Coast homegirl Miss Interview aka Miss Special is in NYC getting her internship on with the All Out Show on Sirius/XM radio. We're definitely happy for her and proud of the recent grad for continuing to take steps in pursuing her dream in radio. Anyway, she sent over a recent interview featuring Q-Tip on the Shade 45 program. Good stuff. Hit play and enjoy.

Q-Tip, of the legendary group A Tribe Called Quest, called into Shade 45's "All Out Show" yesterday for their Throwback Thursday segment featuring the album "The Low End Theory".  Q-Tip spoke to Rude Jude and Lord Sear about his approach to the classic album including him wanting it to compete with Dr. Dre's work with NWA at the time.  He also spoke about Phife being involved with the creation of the album more due to him coming to the studio more during that time.  He also spoke about how that very song was produced by Pete Rock and how essentially, he wanted himself, Pete Rock, and Large Professor to collaborate under the name of 'The Beat Men" but Pete wasn't necessarily feeling it. Lastly, he also named some of his favorite tracks from the album and how he doesn't listen to his own music leisurely, and how he would sympathize with J.Dilla about wanting to critique beats after songs were complete.
