Sulty instrumentals sourced entirely from 80s soul samples. As yacht rap as it gets. Would kill to hear a Curren$y & Fiend duet on any one of these.

Rad Reef Presents: Main Attrakionz Live At The New Parrish
Thursday, February 2nd, 2012
Main Attrakionz live at New Parrish. Once again we did the best we could. Thankfully Space Age Hustle supplied us with the instrumentals, and we had an isolated track for the vox, but as it turns out the playback speed of the beats was slightly slower than the instrumentals. It’s funny how the slightest of technical difficulties–like this .5 second discrepancy int he overall length of the track–can totally ruin something. Well anyways, it wasn’t totally ruined. And we did our best to find a happy medium between not working too hard, and getting the music to sound clear. We’re happy with the final product, and we hope you will be too. Check www.radreef.com for a .zip when the downloads here expire.
Some recent favorites and a rare live performance of ‘Legion OF Doom’. MAz are far from polished as a live act, but they make up for the rough spots with sheer enthusiasm and a genuine appreciation for the crowd. This recording captures their exuberance pretty well.

Kristmas – So Gifted (2008 Mixtape)
Thursday, January 26th, 2012
Fairly essential piece of SMS history, the origins of the ‘W2 boy’ movement, now up on bandcamp for easy streaming and downloading. If you only know Kristmas via the W2 Boy album or DB49/SLO, you need this.

Friday, January 13th, 2012
A direct continuation of last year’s excellent For The Glory. Nothing wrong with that at all, in fact that’s pretty much exactly what i wanted to hear.

The video for Naked Lunch dropped in conjunction with the release of the tape, this should give you a good idea of what to expect.

Killa Cal Wayne – Headed To The Promise Land (mixtape)
Friday, December 30th, 2011
From whatever scarce info I could find, I get the feeling Killa Cal Wayne is something of a minor cult favorite in Texas (parts of it anyway). Very little of his material is available for dl via the usual internet channels, most of what I’ve heard I’ve found through youtube. Those clips show a capable hardcore mixtape rapper, not doing anything particularly new but running that lane well. He’s got the ability, the grit, the menacing attitude, he can actually write a song, and he sports an inspired beat selection without regional biases. He reminds me a bit of Freddie Gibbs around 2009ish, but more serious and more downbeat.
Headed To The Promise Land, released in late 2010, is the only mixtape of his I was able to get a hold of so far, and it’s a good showcase for all those qualities. ‘I’m On’ (the clip at the top) was the lead single from it, streams for a few other included tracks are below. Don’t sleep on ’48 Bars Of Power’ and ‘The Game’, those are my current favorites.

Purple Tape Pedigree Presents: Fresh Out The Box #13
Thursday, December 29th, 2011
Our friends at Purple Tape Pedigree run a bitchin rap radio show called Fresh Out The Box, which happens every Thursday via BBOX radio. I had the honor of guesting on two few episodes so far, here is my most recent appearance. Lots of good music was played, year-end lists and fine meats and cheeses were discussed, and we randomly drank some wine from plastic cups. You should give it a listen, and don’t sleep on their other episodes, especially the XMAS one. I will be returning there again tonight, so listen to that too.
