What I'm Watching: Allen Poe - "Live From The Pub"

Allen Poe, 1/3 of Basement Up, is chill. I dig his music. Check out this video for a track off his "Pocket Full of Ohms" album.

He says "Live From The Pub is told from my perspective while performing at a hole in the wall type venue, where the crowd is there to unwind first and pay attention to whoever is on the bill second. Brock Berrigan provides a jazzy soundscape."

Download: MeccaGodZilla - "ERROARS 2​.​2: Metal Sakura"

In his bio, it states that musically, MeccaGodZilla’s sound is like mixing Talib’s rhyme influence with RZA’s beat making tips and the Dalai Lama’s tips on being a better human being. After hearing this instrumental album, I couldn't agree more.

In a break from the norm here at The Mad Bloggers, we bring you a project with a global feel to it. As soon as I hit play, I pretty much just zoned out on whatever it was I was doing at the time. Some tracks on "ERROARS 2​.​2: Metal Sakura" had that movie vibe to it while others had an obvious Hip-Hop element that inspired me to head nod.

According to Mecca, he started off as a sample producer, but ended up with only 3 tracks on this project that were sampled. Either way, I enjoyed what he created here.

Some of my favorite stand outs on this are "Chariots", "Raye 6.4", "Amnesia", and the only track that features artists, "Laundromat Combat feat Last Words and Buhrnum Wood".

Overall, it's a nice change of pace so peep it and let us know what y'all think.

In typical Kaiju fashion, MeccaGodZilla returns with sonic alchemy after a 3 year hiatus to produce the new instrumental album titled “ERROARS 2.2: Metal Sakura.” Possibly part of the epic rebirth of Long Island’s raw Hip-Hop/Rap sound, this new seventeen-track LP emanates a global fusion of cultural elements and inspiration.

Influenced by a myriad of experiences while of living in Tokyo, NYC and Long Island, MeccaGodZilla shares a wide palette of musical expression peaking into the roots of Rap, R&B, Experimental, Dancehall and House music.

After the first listen international recording artist and 3X VIMA Award winner Masia One states musically:

“I see a wilting cherry blossom, and when its dipped in metal instead of incinerating it becomes stronger and more beautiful… the metal doesn’t cause them (the blossoms) to fall hard, they are still organic and beautifully graceful, but slowly forming metallic shells…”

Driven by the goal to keep this album 100% Strong Island vibes, MeccaGodZilla foraged locally recruiting Freeport’s very own Last Words and Buhrnum Wood, two MC’s known for extraordinary freestyle ability, to engage in a lyrical joust on the closing feature song “Laundromat Combat.”

“It’s pretty ill to think about the following idea. Long Island, NY has arguably some of the best, most skilled and diverse artists in rap history, notably Rakim, De La Soul, Leaders Of the New School, Prince Paul, Public Enemy, EPMD, Keith Murray, KMD, Roc Marciano and lots more. I aspire to rep for the place I was raised and provide more of that Long Island Sound to the world.”

Pharoahe Monch - "Rapid Eye Movement" featuring Black Thought and DJ Revolution (prod. by Marco Polo)

More dope music by some lyrical veterans in the game along with a DJ and a producer with an amazing track record. This joint is on repeat! Check it.

Pharoahe Monch’s Forthcoming PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) LP Will Be Released On 4-15-2014

With his highly-anticipated fourth solo-LP, “PTSD” (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), Pharoahe Monch re-emerges with a new concept project which finds the ground-breaking emcee tackling PTSD; a severe anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to any event that results in psychological trauma. Throughout the duration of the LP, Monch narrates as an independent artist weary from the war against the industry machine and through the struggle of the black male experience in America.

Pharoahe Monch has been at the forefront of lyrical innovation for two-decades now. Not only is he one of Hip-Hop’s preeminent lyricists, crafting intricate rhyme schemes and intelligent raps, but he is also an incisive political and social commentator, using Hip-Hop as a platform for political engagement.

Rapid Eye Movement featuring Black Thought of the Roots Crew, and produced by long time collaborator Marco Polo is the next look from the album and is a lyrical barrage worthy of these two titans.

Pharoahe Monch's "P.T.S.D." (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) will feature guest appearances from Black Thought, Talib Kweli, Denaun Porter, The Stepkids, Vernon Reid and production from Lee Stone, Marco Polo, Jesse West & Quelle Chris.

You can now pre-order Pharoahe Monch’s “P.T.S.D.” at iTunes:itunes.apple.com/us/album/ptsd-po…ress/id791461203
