Aleon Craft – My Girlfriend Ft. Grip Plyaz & Tuki (Prod. SMKA)

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

Aleon and Grip really need to make a collaboration mixtape/album, produced entirely by SMKA. Every time they’re featured on a track together the results are stellar (see ‘Step Out’ for further proof).

This one is from SMKA’s upcoming The 808 Experiment: Vol 3, which drops 04/26

Aleon Craft – Look Twice (Prod. SMKA)

Friday, March 4th, 2011

Aleon X SMKA combination just gets better and better. This is the first leak from Aleon’s upcoming Mothership Decatur project, to be released this April. If you haven’t heard Aleon’s Stargazing Soundtrack or the two Prologue Eps, I highly recommend you catch up via bandcamp.

Jarren Benton meets SMKA: Huffing Glue with Hasselhoff (Jan 25th)

Monday, January 10th, 2011

We (the Steadybloggin’ braintrust) have a good feeling about this. Jarren raps well, SMKA is on a roll lately, first leaks (below) are solid. I like ‘Spacesuits & Parachute’ a bit more than ‘Ima Murder’, but that’s mostly nitpicking. A few selections from Jarren’s previous project included below the jump in case you’re not familiar with his work.

ALEON CRAFT X INSIDE THE MUSIC X STANKONIA STUDIO 10.28.10 from Jeron Ward on Vimeo.

Self explanatory. Wouldn’t mind it being longer and in mp3 form.

Random songs I’ve been meaning to post – Outkast (c&s by Mike G) / GMane / Aleon Craft+SMKA / Ham+DJ Burn One / Main Attrakionz+Clams Casino / Danny Brown

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

I have a bunch of songs on my hard drive that I want to post… some brand new, some vaguely newish, some just new to me. I don’t feel like making individual posts for each, so here goes one big megapost combining them all. They are in not arranged in any particular order, and I don’t remember where some of them come from so advanced apologies if the origin isn’t credited correctly. The picture has nothing to do with anything, that’s just an awesome dog.

**********
First… Outkast’s (Andre’s) ‘Spread’ Chopped & Screwed by OFWGKTA associate Mike G. A nice experiment, the lowered vocals work really well and so do the vaguely dusty instruments in the end. Found it on Mike G’s now defunct http://100sounds.blogspot.com/

DOWNLOAD: Outkast – Spread (chopped & screwed by Mike G)

**********
Some old(ish) GMane. This man needs to put out more new music ASAP, I’m fiending over here.

DOWNLOAD: GMane – Pu$$y

**********
Main Attrakionz + Clams Casino = good shit. I like the way Clams takes one of the mellowest love songs ever and turns it into something a little twitchy and jumpy and not really too romantic, but then Main Attrakionz still use it for something resembling a love song (kinda/maybe/possibly their version of I Used To Love H.E.R.?)

DOWNLOAD: Main Attrakionz – My Only Love Song

**********
I’m not familiar with HAM, he does well on this weed song though. Burn One’s production is always worth checking for. Via Twitter/BLVDST

DOWNLOAD: HAM – Look of bud (prod by DJ Burn One)

**********
Aleon continues a winning streak of collaborations with SMKA, the Stargazing Soundtrack had moments of sheer brilliance (the end of Yoga Flame for example) . This song is from DJBooth’s Freestyle Series.

DOWNLOAD: Aleon Craft – More than expected (prod by SMKA)

**********
Last but not least, something new from Danny Brown. I think this is going to be on the upcoming Hawaiian Snow mixtape, which is definitely a collaboration with Tony Yayo and possibly features Lil B. I’m dying to hear that.

DOWNLOAD: Danny Brown – Cyclops
