Monday, April 2nd, 2012VIDEO: Tree – Call Me
Thursday, March 29th, 2012
New Newly re-upped visuals from what has become my favorite mixtape of the year so far (Ka has the top honors in the album category.)
VIDEO: Denmark Vessey – That One Thai Joint (Prod by @Scudone) / Quelle Chris – 2Dirt4TV Trailer 1
Monday, March 26th, 2012
Beat takes a page from the ‘when Stones Throw samples exotic world music’ playbook, Denmark does well with it.

Stalley – Hammers & Vogues Ft. Curren$y (Prod By Block Beattaz)
Friday, March 23rd, 2012
Stalley undoubtedly does well here, but what really has me thinking thangz is the idea of Curren$y on Block Beattaz beats. Next step: a 10 minute long weed-tributing opus produced by Block Beattaz, featuring Spitta, G-Side, GMane, Stalley and Fiend. Bonus points for Junebug adlibs.
VIDEO: Denmark Vessey – Crack Babies
Monday, March 19th, 2012
I’m having a hard time establishing if this is really new or just new to the blogs today, but either way it’s dope. Denmark here vaguely reminds me of Mos Def circa when Mos Def was still Mos Def and actually good.
Danny Brown – Baseline
Wednesday, March 14th, 2012
On first impression this is the standout from the 3 bonus tracks included in the deluxe edition of XXX. And it’s not even Brown’s rapping that makes it, it’s his ear for production. This beat is something else, nothing but sparse percussion and some noise reminiscent of jangling chains. So weird that it feels like an eccentric outlier even in the context of an album marked by unusual adventurous production.
TREE – Sunday School (Mixtape)
Sunday, March 11th, 2012
Come for the unique production weaving a tangled net of vocal samples and off-kilter drums, then stay and replay a bunch of times when you realize that TREE is a much better rapper than you originally gave him credit for and that his songs get stuck in your head like crazy.
I would strongly suggest listening to this via good headphones, just streaming it from a laptop is not gonna do it justice.

Tree – Die
Wednesday, February 29th, 2012
Tree is quickly becoming one of my favorite new discoveries of this year (thanks David). The interview above has some good background info about him, and you can stream the song that’s playing during the interview below. Based on all that I have high hopes for his upcoming Sunday School project.
DOWNLOAD: Tree – Die (link via FSD)
Interview and song stream both via DudeGot.com, thanks to them.
VIDEO: King Foe (of BLKHRTS) – FOE / Junkie
Tuesday, February 28th, 2012
‘FOE’ above, ‘Junkie’ below. Pay attention kids, this is the right way to do scary nihilistic drug rap. Both songs can be downloaded via www.BLKHRTS.com
Thanks to Zilla Rocca for the heads up.
STREAM: BJ The Chicago Kid – The World Is A Ghetto Ft. Kendrick Lamar
Thursday, February 23rd, 2012
Kendrick dropping a verse over a DJ Battle Cat produced extrapolation of one of the greatest soul songs of all time, and it’s a weird 6 min jam with no real structure to boot …. holy shit. Between this and ‘Cartoons & Cereal’ Kendrick is really getting his ATLiens on.
