Murs & Whole Wheat Bread Are The Invincibles

Where all my punk rock PHH heads?? I know we got a few of ya'll out there, and for ya'll today this will be a true treat...

Enter in longtime Cali underground champ Murs and FLA punk collective Whole Wheat Bread... then enter in some of their unreleased work...ahhhh, now it gets interesting don't it... read on children:

Murs first met the the Jacksonville punk legends on the 2003 Warped Tour. Years later they reconnected through mutual friend Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes. They recorded some songs for Murs’ 2008 Warner Bros. release Murs For President. Red tape kept the songs shelved, but Murs and WWB felt there was a definite vibe worth further development. In fall 2009 they proclaimed themselves the Invincibles and began recording. This EP contains 6 songs from that period. Other songs may surface. Murs recently dropped visuals for “Epic Salutations” (watch here), from his recent album Love & Rockets Vol. 1: The Transformation, produced entirely by Ski Beatz, the producer behind classic records for Jay-Z, Mos Def and more. Murs’ most recent release is Yumiko: Curse Of The Merch Girl, his album and graphic novel collaboration with Josh Blaylock. He recently curated Through The Mic, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s first-ever hip-hop concert series, and this year’s installment of his annual Paid Dues festival featured Wu-Tang Clan, Odd Future, Kendrick Lamar and many more.

Singles: Toki Wright ft. Felix, Mastermind & Mayda - Therapy

We all need a lil' therapy from time to time... How about some music from Toki Wright? Sound good to me...

Here the Twin Cities, Rhymesayers emcee links with Felix, Mastermind and Mayda for a nicely executed banger with tons of force...

"Therapy" stems from Toki's "Speed Of Life Series", that finds Mr. Wright writing, producing, recording a song in 24 hours, everyday for 7 days...

Cover Art: Stu Bangas & Vanderslice - Diggaz With Attitude

Two of the east's best new hardcore and pulp beatmakers in Stu Bangas and Vanderslice are readying their new LP "Diggaz With Attitude", and quite frankly, I expect it to be one of the better compilation style jumpoffs this year...

Splitting the production duties between themselves, the album is set to feature the proper accompanying vocals from Roc Marciano, Apathy, Reef The Lost Cauze, Slaine, Ill Bill, Vinnie Paz, Smiley The Ghetto Child, Blacastan, Evidence, Wais P and more..

Lookout for this later this year...and the 1st official single next week..

Digitally Deficient Presents Nujabes Tribute Mix - Ristorante in Peace

Really brilliant mix of Nujabes tribute' stuff here.... we haven't forgotten about you Nujabes!

Digitally Deficient presents this sterling, 21-track, 57 minute mix that finds many a Nujabes friend putting together beats that remind them of our now departed, but never forgotten brother in production and the music he blessed us with on his now legendary "Ristorante" mix.  gold for your listening pleasure..

A name I wont forget. Like many I came to know of him only after watching the anime "Samurai Champloo" and falling in love with the music they used. Only after this was I continously up on every release and mix of his. My favorite being the "Ristorante" mix both side a and side b. What is Ristorante you ask? Its an italian way of saying restaurant. The tagline to his mix was "makin' good beats like cookin' good foods". In memory of my one of my favorite producers I have compiled and mixed just that, good beats by other producers who were either inspired by Jun or have a similar sound to him. He was taken away too early from the world but his memory, his legacy and his soul will forever be felt by those he touched and inspired. I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I did making it.
Please share it with all your friends.

In
Peace

New Queens emcee goin by the name G-Code 4:20 has a cut that all Bronson fans are sure to appreciate.. Nice melding of a lot of stuff goin on here.. G-Code harmonizes a bit here too. Overall a dope ode to a now nearly extinct (or so they'd have you believe) breed of gangster...

Terry Urban Presents... Me & Mr. Jones: Amy Winehouse & Nas

Who does the blends and mash-ups and overall DJ shit as nicely as Mr. Terry Urban? Not many my friends... Here, we get the man's latest mixtape offering "Me & Mr. Jones"..

Nasir is readying his new LP for release later this month (the 17th) and around the same time, a lady who was pretty close to him (that many of us weren't aware of really) and who in her own right was a musical maven will be remembered on the 1st anniversary of her passing on the 23rd..

Sounds like good enough reason for a mixtape of both of these two's wonderful music to me..

All props due to Okayplayer for sanctioning this one...
