Brother Ali - Left In The Deck

What a pleasant surprise for an otherwise bullshit ass Monday evening...

Brother Ali announced recently that he was hitting the road w/ Immortal Technique for their War & Peace tour and today they officially pulled out on said tour... What we didn't see comin? Ali lacing us with a new project for the occaision!

"Left In The Deck" is 10 cuts that Ali recorded all over; from basements to hotel rooms and so forth. All tracks are produced by Jake One and contain little to no cosmetic workups.. just the raw shit in demo form..

You may stream in it's entirety below and download after you cop a shirt off Brother Ali... enjoy.

*Jaw drops on the floor*

What.Thee.Hell....

The future? The past?

Innovation? Addition by subtraction?

Akai debutED its MPC Fly for the iPad 2 recently at the NAMM Show. It combines 16 backlit MPC pads into a built-in iPad 2 case, and is completed with an integrated iOS app that boasts an array of effects, a four-track mixer, sound library, sample editing and an EQ. Looks like the perfect toy for a producer on the go.

Single: Apollo Brown & Hassaan Mackey - Night Time

This duo is hands down one of the most promising new ones...really happy they decided to link up and combine both of their considerable talents... You doubt what I'm sayin or think I'm kickin that booty chatter, peep their new album...

This won't be found on the aforementioned LP, but rather is a bonus cut of sorts to tide over Apollo and Hassaan's fans for the time being.
