Oneirology

I've been a huge fan of the CunninLynguists ever since my homie Evan put me on to "Mic Like A Memory" and Will Rap for Food.  I think A Piece of Strange is one of the best rap albums to drop between 2000-2010 and I love the majority of everything else they've ever done.  Needless to say, I was extremely excited when I found out earlier this week that their new album, Oneirology, is now available at Bandcamp.  I'm still working my way through it, but so far the production and lyricism have both been top notch.  Please buy the album by clicking here.  It's worth much more than the $9 measly dollars you're going to spend on it.  I promise.

DJ Zimmie: Live at New Amsterdam

My dude DJ Zimmie hit me up recently to put me on to his latest mix, Live at New Amsterdam.  Zimmie goes in on this one, mixing original samples with classic hip hop.  One of the many things I like about this mix is that Zimmie uses enough standards to keep it familiar but throws in enough forgotten gems to keep it fresh.  Like a good DJ, he maintains a nice balance throughout the whole set.  Check out the Soundcloud link below to hear for yourself.

The ONE...COHESIVE

Just when you thought my blog was dead....

Time to break my hiatus from the blog sphere to celebrate the much anticipated new album from one of my favorite groups, G-Side.  The ONE...COHESIVE is available here for $9.99.  Support good, independent music and buy it. 

ST. 2 Lettaz and Young Clova seem to get better with every release they put out, constantly taking risks and destroying some of the most unique beats I've ever heard.  The production is outstanding throughout, which is not surprising considering that it was handled by the likes of A-Team, Block Beattaz, Burn One, Clams Casino, and STR8 Drop.

If you have yet to discover the creative force that is brewing in Huntsville, Alabama, this project is a perfect introduction.
