South Central’s Poppa LQ is back with a “Ghetto Qur’an” type track over a simple but effective piece of DJ Bless production. Bless’ Never So Deep is a great place for a guy like LQ, who I don’t think I’ve heard from since that DBA “Fa Sheisty Cats” jam with Kurupt and WC. Your Entertainment, My Reality is a personal classic and I am excited to see this fella still active, so I will be updating you with new LQ shit for the foreseeable future.
DJ B.Cause makes some really great edits/blends/whatever you wanna call it. Here are two examples. The first puts Outkast over Marvin Gaye, for a result that sounds like what a summer evening feels like. The second takes a classic by a Motown doo-wop girl group and adds a bit of De La’s Oooh into the backbone, thus creating something that Scorsese would probably really like to dance to but wouldn’t know how.

Also, check out his Roger Troutman mix which I previously posted here.
All this and more can be found on B.Cause’ own blog Diamonds in the Dust.
Alias is making a new instrumental album. I have no idea what the title is or when it is slated to drop, but after hearing this snippet I’ll have both ears open.

Dude fits in some dope breaks in under twenty minutes. This is the prelude to a longer, more thorough mix of the same type of shit.

Matt Gamin is gaming. His work ethic has been unfuckwitable the past few years and this is another nice notch on the belt. The more of his material I peep, the more distance he puts between himself and his counterparts.

I’m not really a fan of Flying Lotus’ solo work, nor do I know anything about the Northern Lights. However I do enjoy people rapping over Flying Lotus production, especially when it’s done proficiently as is the case here. So here you go…
You can check out more Northern Lights on their bandcamp page, where they’re giving away this whole mixtape for free.
Kent, as expected, steals the show with the second verse.
All this shit is missing is Weebay and some fish sandwiches. Dope video by two dope boyz. –Philaflava

Second, a new DB49 track called In The House (produced by Sizahanz), played with a more sober tone than the rest of their songs so far. The cover art for their upcoming album Happy Hour is above (art by John Turner Jr).
