Purify Beats – “Remixes Felt III”

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Purify Beats tackles some heavy duty work reinterpreting Aesop Rock’s production power. And emerges victorious. He remixed Bazooka Tooth a few years ago and I liked it immensely. It was sparse next to the dense sample barrage of the original and let Ace Rizzlenator showcase his ‘WTF’ worldview.

Buy it hear or hear.

Hail Mary Mallon Teaser

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

I’m not keen on sucking famous indie rapper cock, but this blip of a sneak peek into the world of Hail Mary Mallon is true genius. HMM is the creation of Aesop Rock and Rob Sonic. I own everything Rob Sonic’s contributed to from compilations to albums and so on. His lack of notoriety is more than baffling as he aptly demonstrates his ability to go toe-to-toe with Aes Face (proof here). And while Aesop Rock isn’t a personal favorite, he’s obviously one of the most capable cats inside of the indiesphere. As the enthusiasm gap widens between artists and fans, it is bizarre and intentional efforts like this promo piece that still stir a flicker of imagination and provide an incentive to follow the project through to realization (translation: Hopefully, if it is a good album, you buy the shit and and play it your iPod).

How To Ruin A Pretty Good Album

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

<a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/grievesandbudo.com/album/grieves-budo-remix-felt-3-a-tribute-to-rosie-perez');" href="http://grievesandbudo.com/album/grieves-budo-remix-felt-3-a-tribute-to-rosie-perez">Protaganist (Grieves and Budo Remix) by Grieves and Budo</a>

Not being familiar with Felt’s previous efforts I found last year’s Felt 3: A Tribute to Rosie Perez to be some wild shit. Primarily due to the power-production (nh) of Aesop Rock. Unfortunately nothing remains pure forever and the cum stain they call Grieves touched tips with Budo and this is the result. Start paying that dude in sandwiches.

The 2009 Register Vol.6: Rob Sonic

Monday, December 21st, 2009

2009 the year of the duck…

There is this duck who lives on the corner of Allerton Avenue in the Bronx who became sort of my best friend and encompassed a hell of a lot about what the year was like for me, what the fuck right?

Well let me explain, see I still make music full time “somehow” despite it being extremely hard to do. I’ve some how managed, save for the occasional bouncer/porter job and trips to Belmont and Saratoga Parks’ I made it through another one on music by the skin of my teeth. Mostly by not going near Manhattan and smoking more regs than exotics so all in all it was s good year. I made quite a lot of music in 09 in hopes of a long overdue (for me) 2010 release, we will see. One thing is for sure, music got made.

The Demise of Def Jux?

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

Highly incendiary rumors are floating about concerning the collapse of EL-P’s baby, Definitive Jux Records. Aesop Rock on the verge of signing to Rhymesayers? Makes sense taking into account Felt 3 and Ace Rizzle’s permanent jaunt to the West Coast. Another question mark is the claim of $200K+ in debt beleaguering the label. The original post also takes note of Cage’s 180 from white rage to white guilt.

The end of an era? Baseless internet fodder? Anyone know……or care?

UPDATE: This is Slug’s statement: “there have been no discussions about aesoprock joining our roster.
seems like some unreliable-source-shit is going on.
plus, for a piece that is attempting to bring you the hot gossip, they sure did take some time to give their unfavorable opinions on cage.
whole piece smells like horseshit.
don’t believe the wipe.”
