Wooooooow, who woulda thought that the one dynamic, boom bap producer of today that could get the legendary 90s duo of Organized Konfusion (Pharoah Monche & Prince Po) to link back up after a long hiatus would be ...Marco Polo?<br />
<br />
I did.. def. did... he's already worked with just about every huge act from the 90s including Big Daddy Kane and Rakim among others, so why not Organized Konfusion?<br />
<br />
Here Marco laces the raucus canvas for the duo to get loose on and the result is "3-O-Clock"; a fitting return for them.<br />

So yeah, everyone and they got damn mama's mama is all over this new GTA game, and from what I hear, for good reason.. I guess it's a righteous blast to play, but comin from a fella that has always liked the music that these games featured thee most, I was anticipating moreso what was gonna be on the FM dial in them whips that you steal!<br />
<br />
One cut that you're gonna find on 'FLYLO FM' is this; Clams Casino's latest instrumental-from-mars endeavor, "Crystals". If you love fat basslines, fuzzy snyths and plunging melodies that all form a very drinkable and movable, menacing tonic... this is your cup of tea.<br />

This joint right here man... this may just be my fav. beat of the whole fuckin month...ain't nuthin like when Milk gets ahold of a soul sample...<br />
<br />
For "Sunday's Best / Monday's Worst" you're treated to two great, rousing cuts that perfectly describe them old Sunday's and Monday's man. Milk examines his rigid upbringing in the church, and then delves into that weary, worn out Monday feeling when you're unemployed by choice and you hit that block lookin to get paid..by whatever means.<br />
<br />
Great work here..and I mean great. Milk's first solo work in a couple years I believe and it's going back to his roots--the soul sample flipping. He's not lost a step in that arena... not one, and his rhymes are still vibrant. This is a must hear cut.<br />

Dilla’s younger brother) and Frank Nitt (Frank N Dank), the album features production entirely from the late, J. Dilla, featuring a new batch of beats that was recently unearthed. The album features Common, T3, Talib Kweli, Posdnuos of De La Soul, Guilty Simpson, J. Rocc, DJ Rhettmatic and others. As Frank Nitt states, </span><em style="background-color: #ededed; color: #aaaaaa; font-family: Oswald, serif; font-size: 18.18181800842285px; line-height: 23.62215805053711px;">“We created an album that would make Dilla proud. But this isn’t a nostalgia trip: Dilla’s beats were so future-forward that they’re right on time in 2013, and we’ve assembled the best artists possible to represent that.”</em></blockquote>

Ya know... I've said a lot of shit about Ye' in the past publically... from the fact that I enjoyed his music more when he was mainly a soul-sample producing cat in the background to me always, always applauding him as the ONLY rapper who stood up on TV and attacked George Bush Jr. after Katrina. Complexity is this cat... and that's coo, I'm complex..I know ppl don't fit in one lil' tiny box..nah, we wouldn't even fuckin want that if they could. At least you shouldn't.<br />
<br />
Here, Ye' speaks with Zane Lowe and sheds some jewels about self-perception, the nature of corporations in the music industry, what he wanted to acomplish with his new album "Yeezus", being an outsider in the fashion industry, making predictions for the future and a lot more... a lot more...<br />
<br />
No matter what you may think of thi cat, truth is truth and he def.touches on a good deal of it here.

Monochrome is second single from L'Orange & Stik Figa's upcoming project, "The City Under The City" </blockquote>

The new single establishes the setting for the story of "The City Under The City" and shows movement from a monochromatic life into the colorful depths below the surface. </blockquote>

"As I wax poetic over past aesthetics,<br />

I rarely put an eye on HBO's Boardwalk Empire, but I will say, the show is pretty decent and captivating when I do.. as if the adventures of Mobster Nucky Thompson weren't a big enough selling point, I guess teh folks over at HBO decided to reel in the Jazz heads too...<br />
<br />
This is where it gets interesting... Some of the people behind Boardwalk Empire recruited some of Hip-Hop's best jazz men to flip some of the prohibition era Jazz records they had layin around. Pete Rock, Jazzy Jeff, Tall Black Guy, Shafiq Husayn and others do some righteous ass work that you gotta hear..<br />
<br />
"Sounds Of The Onyx" can be heard in full, streaming, below and is available for free download as well...<br />

What a perfect title right? LOL, I'm all about that title (minus the cancer sticks...) and I'm even more all about Denmark-based producer <a href="https://soundcloud.com/jolbeats">Jol's</a> soulful, jazzy, dusty beatwork.<br />
<br />
"Coffee & Cigarettes" is a 6-track mini instrumental album that is pretty fucking soothing and head nodding.. kind of has the opposite effect of what the title's ingredients will do to you... enjoy.<br />

Etherial.. downbeat... the perfect music to accompany my thoughts on a day where rain is falling continuously.<br />
<br />
The sounds you hear arranged here are from Sole, AKA <a href="http://soleone.org/">Soleone</a>; a cat that's been featured on PHH before (search function ppl) but that I hadn't heard from in a lil' bit.. He's returned with a new beat-type album called "Whitenoise: nomoredystopias" that drops on the 17th... Here's the title cut...<br />
