Himself The Majestic – I Have No Identity Vol 3 (Mixtape)

steadybloggin — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:43:39 +0000

Himself really lets loose on this one, best thing I’ve heard from him yet. The most impressive moments come when he is focused on a specific idea, see ‘Crab Nebula’ for example. There’s a clearer more defined sense of purpose here, as opposed to just playfully rhyming for the fuck of it which is the impression I got from some of his previous work. Factor in some nice beats from Froskees + guest spots from Antwon and Left Leberra, and you got a winner.

STREAM: Battles – White Electric (Shabazz Palaces Remix)

TBH I don’t really know what Battles is, but the fact that this song is getting much more buzz on indie rock-ish blogs than rap ones is pretty telling. Regardless, any new Shabazz Places is very welcome.

Self explanatory.

Yarrow Slaps – ACCid Ice Love Lust X

steadybloggin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:47:04 +0000

Something different from Yarrow. Reminiscent of SGP’s sex raps but less creepy and softer around the edges.

Antwon – Bacardi House (Prod By Bad Slorp)

steadybloggin — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:49:02 +0000

After the double falcon punch of My West Side Horizon and River Of Slime I’m down for pretty much anything Antwon and Bad Slorp may cook up together, including this dirty little toss-off.

Ras G & Open Mike Eagle – Warhorn

DOWNLOAD: Ras G & Open Mike Eagle – Warhorn

I’ve been offered an opportunity that I never could have imagined.

I’ve been selected along with Brainfeeder artist Ras G to travel to the african nation of Uganda to teach a youth program about hip-hop and record a project with Ugandan rap artists.

The project was conceived and developed by LA hip-hop non-profit organization J.U.I.C.E. and has been partially funded by a grant from the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.

The grant, however, calls for matching funds. This means that they fund half of the overall budget for the project with the responsibility of the other half being on us.

We began with a fundraising goal of $7,000. At the moment we’ve generated $1,200. We still have quite a bit of ground to cover.

We need any help that you could provide. 1 dollar, 5 dollars, 1,000 dollars. Each and every bit of assistance we get will help this once in a lifetime opportunity come to pass.

The song we’ve presented here is just an exercise in Ras and I putting something down. Its raps I wrote to a beat of his that I liked. We did this very quickly and I think it came out great. Whats in front of us tho, is the opportunity to visit another culture and and have experiences that could change our lives and help us make a project that could be a landmark in both of our careers.

Please help us and donate here:
