This beat is… almost pretty. Clearly a departure from the dusty minimalism that Marciano usually raps on, even accounting for some of the more expansive beats he’s gone over recently. It works well enough though, no complaints here aside from the short length of the feature.

After an introspective morning filled with progressive intelligent rap music let’s take a step back and slow-mo headbang to something decidedly less cerebral.

An unexpected late in the day drop in from Soul Division, a fortuitous quick art assist John Turner Jr, and of course a dope original from Antwon… and now it’s all yacht everything.

Despite my enduring hate for most things Kanye West, Flashing Lights might be my favorite cover BBNG have done yet.
After several months of intense chopping, screwing (||), mixing, selecting and arranging, here is Lean On Me. We (The Steady Bloggin Braintrust) are very grateful to P. Jones and Groove Daniels of Soul Division for working with us on this all the way from Norway, tirelessly sending us track after track of quality material for our merciless selection process, and patiently sticking with us as we obsessed over minutiae of track arrangement and sequencing. Also, as always, huge thanks to John Turner Jr. for the artwork. We hope you enjoy the result as much as we enjoyed making this. Happy Holidays.

Been waiting for this for a while; you may have noticed a steady stream of Yarrow & Nem270 tracks trickle in here over the last few months. I’m listening now and so far it doesn’t disappoint, proper slaps all around.

Another new Shady Blaze song. Like a lot of his previous work with Ryan, the song has a celebratory (no pun) uplifting slant. However the beat is a little unusual in the context of the people involved; I’m so used to hearing Shady over mostly experimental/forward thinking production that hearing him on a fairly traditional piano-based beat was almost surprising.

New compilation from the production duo responsible for some of the best Main Attrakionz tracks of 2011. Includes new material from Friendzone themselves, some new gems from MAz paired with Shady Blaze, appearances from the Usual Suspects lineup of Green Ova collaborators (Ryan Hemsworth, Silky Johnson, LWH, Julian Wass), occasional Danny Brown producer Skywlkr, etc etc etc….

Not a huge difference from the original, but this version is a bit spacier and a bit closer to the Block Beattaz style so I like it a bit more.
