Just how many more of these can we cram in before the official end of summer on September 21st? Let’s get to 10 while the weather is right, starting with the seventh installment of the SLS series. Somethin’ for your car, somethin’ for your hangout spot, or just somethin’ for you to chill to. Hella shouts to dirt_dog from TROY for the artwork. Download link, tracklist and links to the rest of the series after the jump.

I have a bunch of songs on my hard drive that I want to post… some brand new, some vaguely newish, some just new to me. I don’t feel like making individual posts for each, so here goes one big megapost combining them all. They are in not arranged in any particular order, and I don’t remember where some of them come from so advanced apologies if the origin isn’t credited correctly. The picture has nothing to do with anything, that’s just an awesome dog.

First… Outkast’s (Andre’s) ‘Spread’ Chopped & Screwed by OFWGKTA associate Mike G. A nice experiment, the lowered vocals work really well and so do the vaguely dusty instruments in the end. Found it on Mike G’s now defunct http://100sounds.blogspot.com/

Some old(ish) GMane. This man needs to put out more new music ASAP, I’m fiending over here.

Main Attrakionz + Clams Casino = good shit. I like the way Clams takes one of the mellowest love songs ever and turns it into something a little twitchy and jumpy and not really too romantic, but then Main Attrakionz still use it for something resembling a love song (kinda/maybe/possibly their version of I Used To Love H.E.R.?)

I’m not familiar with HAM, he does well on this weed song though. Burn One’s production is always worth checking for. Via Twitter/BLVDST

Aleon continues a winning streak of collaborations with SMKA, the Stargazing Soundtrack had moments of sheer brilliance (the end of Yoga Flame for example) . This song is from DJBooth’s Freestyle Series.

Last but not least, something new from Danny Brown. I think this is going to be on the upcoming Hawaiian Snow mixtape, which is definitely a collaboration with Tony Yayo and possibly features Lil B. I’m dying to hear that.

IF YOU’RE LAZY BUT LIKE ALL THE SONGS IN THIS POST, I PUT THEM ALL INTO ONE ZIPFILE HERE.
This is really really funny. Kudos to whoever put it together (Sha himself?)
Pay attention to the man behind the curtain. Above is a very small piece of a very near future (I strongly urge you to click on the image to see it in full). Directly below (PSA) is the present. A little further down (Must Be… Music) is a bit of history. 1.1.11 is when they all combine.
Today we officially start the push towards G-Side/Block Beattaz/Slowmotion Soundz first full length album since Starshipz and Rocketz, One…The Cohesive Album. While I type we are taking labor day to actually start work. PSA is below. Leh Go.

Doey Rock interpolates 17 West Coast classics with a personal/Sacramentan bend. Not the most original idea but Doey has enough skill to make it very entertaining. The tracklist is below the jump.
The mixtape is free via Doey’s bandcamp page. He’s been posting tons of music there lately, including the new single which you can stream below.
Just a reminder that K-Rino’s Annihilation of The Evil Machine is out today. I pretty much say this every time he puts an album out, but this shit (especially disc one) rivals his best work. It honestly feels like the penultimate K-Rino album. I am not a big fan of “concept” albums, but K does such a thorough job of exploring the topics at hand that it seems effortless.
More rightousness after the jump…

I really like this beat. Sounds like G.Rap enjoyed rapping on it too.

Shiny new instrumental venture from Surf Clubber Chase N. Cashe. He picks up right where LovEND left off, filling the space similarly here with a contrast of plodding glitchy darkness, and epic bombast. My only complaint is that “Space Cowboy” make zero reference to the Nsync banger. Bonus points for mixing in Uncle Luke over a Taylor Swift ready twanger.
Looks like the “Big Boys” are starting to pay attention too…
Last minute summer anthem from the Livewire Bros. Taken from Lil Rue and Lil Blood’s Shottas (which was well worth the wait) and featuring J. Stalin and Shady Nate. It goes without saying, but Stalin crushes.
Nutso fka Nutrageous continues to put together NYC Khaled style dream team tracks. His last (dope) single featured Mic Geronimo and Royal Flush and here he grabs verses from two of NYC’s current luminaries for this 50-sampling jammie that is bomb-drop ready with a turn of the century NYC posse cut feel.
