Benjamin Lyman - .†. 2017



Check out Bemjamin Lyman on this enchanting  .†. 2017 off of his Mint Mirage EP. He goes in right from the jump "Is this what living in our nation is like", "Form of a warrior with the face of a child"....."eating holes in all of our souls....is it ever enough...is it ever what we been wanting?" Good question~ Is it? I like this track Benja ...good work~

Daley - Those Who Wait



Finally downloaded Daley's Those Who Wait Mixtape. I stumbled across the track he did with Marsha Ambrosious entitled Alone Together and they complemented each other nicely enough to lead me to dig a little deeper and find some more material. Daley is a soul singer/ songwriter from Manchester UK, signed to Polydor Records. He's got a couple of nice tracks on there and he even tested out a remake of Maxwell's "Pretty Wings"...personally I wouldn't have messed with that one... it's kinda unredoable..but other than that, I listened to the whole thing and the title track Those Who Wait holds it down pretty solid~

El Hefe and the People's Ensemble - Beat Tape, Volume Two


Here's a wonderful instrumental album for the taking... the first move Take It From Me sets the rest of the album up nicely....the sample loops the phrase "I get my groove"... and i did exactly that, listening to this entire set in the background as i surfed the web...

Aja Monet - Scared To make love, Scared Not To


I've been meaning to post about Aja Monet for a good minute now and i just had a chance to sit back and take a second listen to her album Scared To Make Love, Scared Not To...It's hot! Nice concept, great lyrics, good vibrations..my favorites are I'm Not Yesterday & Us..check it out.

Fatal Lucciauno - Amazing



I love the production on this track (shout out to Jake One for that) ... plus Fatal Lucciauno's voice is cool enough to coast it. This laid back, straight street hop track called Amazing features J. Pinder and can be found on Fatal's Chicago born, Seattle raised, Sportin Life Records Respect album~

Iron Solomon - Almost There


I stumbled across this triumphant gem on twitter. Iron Solomon's heroic track, Almost There, is the driving force embedded in every hustle man's dream and the theme for every potential King or Queen. Knowing you are almost there, even when the finish line isn't in sight, produces the light at the end of the tunnel... which ultimately keeps you moving towards it. In whatever your selective domain, the accomplishment of a goal requires faith, which in itself constructs the connectivity between the vision and the desired results~
The Monster album is on itunes, get it here.

Divine ScienZe - ScienZe x King I Divine


Check out this lyrically dope, boom bap, 12 piece ensemble, of higher echelon  hip hop! Divine ScienZe, the combined manifestation of King I Divine & Scienze, is what i consider on the level of boombox music at it's best..Great beats, interchangeable mic moods, and enjoyable head nodding ambience. Good Stuff~

Jasiri X - While The World Is Watching


Controversial, aggressive, progressive dead prezidish, revolutionary objectives, opinionated & important, "While The World Is Watching " by Jasiri X is an emotion filled roller-coaster of hardcore lyrical state of the union addressedness.

New 7th Galaxy - King Of the Wild


7th Galaxy dropped a new gem! King Of The Wild is his 11th album to date and it's available to you for free download via Cane Corso Records. You know the drill...7th Galaxy drops experimental, trance hop, beat knock, instrumental albums that take you on fantastic voyages with Short Lived Beings on Drifting Rocks that Watch Time Die while Waking Up To Sunshine..or something like that... lol..I luv the way 7th names his cuts. This just might be my favorite Galaxy album yet~  download

New Sleepy Brown - We Run The Night


Organized Noize producer & soul man Sleepy Brown released a new tune, We Run The Night, that you can pick up on i-tunes. Sleepy is still working on his new album Sex, Drugs, & Soul and it's rumored that this track might just be on there..makes sense that it would be..It's pretty smooth~
