Rome - The Impossible (Album)
Oddisee - The Blooming
Belgium's ZBS Studio reached out to Mello Muisc Group about permission to do a video for Oddisee's "The Blooming". MMG of course was honored to have them interpret the song and apply their vision to the track. The resulting marriage of visual storytelling & instrumental perfection is a narrative work that tells the story of time's passage in the life of a boy. The video was directed, shot, & edited by Tomasz Cibulla and Wojciech Drożdż of ZBS Studios in Belgium.Man, Oddisee don't do shit but craft wonderful soundscapes... get up on this brutha if you already ain't..

Kev Turner - The Definition (prod. by J-Slant)
Over the past few weeks Philly has become the new home of a bunch of worthy stars, but truth be told, the city of brotherly love has long been the residence of many a champion emcee... From Steady B's murderin' ass to Freeway, Vinnie Paz and even the longstanding greatness of the city's king, Black Thought, it's a breeding ground for the best of the best in hardcore writers...
It's with little hesitation that I add Kev Turner's name to a sacred list of young, up and coming Philly natives that will soon challenge for a position on the Illadelph's list of towering wordsmiths...
His latest single is "The Definition"...do peep this soulful goodness..

Video: Blu ft. Nia Anderson - My Sunshine
Shafiq Husayn murdered this beat... but that's not really a surprise...he's a serial murderer...of beats...
Long awaited first single off Blu's upcoming new album "NoYork!", which to me kind of sounds like someone like, screaming "No Pork!" really aggresively, except the word "York" is there on the back and it seems like a subliminal dig at New York? I dunno, that was my retarded dissection of the title..I have no idea what the real story behind it is... All I know is that I'm picking it up the day it drop...
As for this video, man...very nice touch...shot beautifully...makes me miss L.A. man.. all of it, from the insane freeway traffic to the smog...

Single: Apathy ft. Celph Titled Stop What Ya Doin (prod. by DJ Premier)
Ap and Celph over some Premo? I'm in!
The side story behind this is that Premo commented that this was the first joint that he let an artist mix down...That has to register as almost as high an honor of gettin' to rhyme over a Premo track for Ap and Celph...
This joint brings some hardcore imagery as Premier flips a pretty dope guitar riff and adds some righteous drum programming and cuts...
Ap's new LP "Honkey Kong" will be one of the best LP's of 2011...period.

News: Big Boi Arrested For Multiple Drug Possession In Miami
I'm kinda surprised at this one...Not really in Bog Boi's character to get caught slippin' for some dumb shit...
Last night in Miami, FLA rapper Andre "Big Boi" Patton was charged with three felony counts of drug possession when he was caught by drug sniffing dogs coming off a cruise ship...
In luggage that is now being labeled as collectively belonging to Big Boi and some of the people he was travelling with, police found Viagra which he couldn't produce a prescription for, MDMA powder (which is the main ingredient in Ecstasy) and actual Ecstasy pills.
Currently Patton is being held on $16,000 dollar bail at the pre-trail holding center in Miami.

Long time comin' for this one...
While I'm a bigger fan of his "Dream Merchant" album series, this will also be a compilation style LP and I'm anxious to hear what this man 9th will be presenting to us.. He's a busy man these days and if I remember correctly he started using some new equipment this year rather than just solely his trusty FL Studio...I hope the sound is the same, can't wait to peep this!

Interview: Buckwild Out Of SP-1200: The Art And The Science
Man, production really just isn't the same these days... A lot of my favorite producers have turned in their analog equipment and sampling drum machines in favor of laptops and PC's...I'm not knockin' it 100%, but, it's just...well, it's something else... One of the nicest cats ever in the 90's and still to this day I'm sure--on the much heralded and storied SP-1200; i.e. a drum machine that Hip-Hop was built on--is Buckwild.
Recently a fully comprehensive book, SP-1200: The Art And The Science, was put out by 27Sens as an ode to this wonderful machine and it's only right that Buckwild had a large interview in it conducted by JNOTA of Redefinition records... Great, great sit down here...Buck builds on everything from how he linked with DITC, playing his first beats for OC, the pros and cons of the SP-1200, his favorite joints ever, how he feels about the digitization of music and what he uses to produce now..
big time shouts to TheLostTapes on this.
-BIG D O
JNOTA: What are some of your general thoughts on the SP1200, it's features and pros & cons?
Buckwild: I loved the swing about it. The swing, the truncation. Sometimes the filtering was like ... on the first 2 channels there was a lot of lil' glitches that they had that was glitches, but turned out to be pros. I think it was the first two channels and if you put something on there it turned out to sound muffled, so I'm not sure if they understood that, but it worked. The multi ... the scale, I loved that about it. One of our tracks was one of the first that really used the scale, which was "The O-Zone" for OC's album. And another thing I loved about it was that you had such little time, that you had to be creative. We had so many songs that just were made up of some sound bites. Like even, with (Organized Konfusion's) "Stress", it was a lot of sound bites in there. I found that disc one day and went through it, and was like, wow, I cant believe it. If you have nothing, you gotta do so much to create. You gotta remember back then, like Pete was sampling soul loops, Tribe was sampling jazz loops; these guys had the luxury of loops. Listening to O's album, a lot of it was sound bites. We didn't have a lot of the time for sampling or whatever. The SP forced us to be creative. It made everyone bring something different to the table. I think Show had to be the first one that really chopped a drum loop and made that loop do something else, in a different way. I forgot what it was but he chopped it and made it play a different pattern and dudes weren't doing that when he did it. Even for us, with DITC, while everyone sampled loops, we were chopping. I learned to chop from Show and went off to learn it more on my own.

"Loyalty" is a real treat, in that it finds the 90's stalwart teaming with relatively new talent 9th Wonder over a bouncy tune that is an ode to being down for that special woman, that boasts the chorus phrase of what is rumored to be the the title of his new album "Loyalty Is Royalty".
