Directed by Spitty & Rez for 8732 Films, taken from Starlito’s Mental WARfare. Just a beautiful song all around. Where’s Don Trip though?

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012
This was one of the records off of Separate But Sequel that people really drew to and enjoyed. The video was shot by Tig Knight an outstanding director out of Birmingham, we really wanted to highlight some of the local record shops that have help support artist and music within the city.
Good video, manages to keep an intimate simple homespun feel while simultaneously projecting undertones of a larger and deeper purpose. Which is a quality that also applies to K.L.U.B. MONSTA’s Separate But Sequel as a whole.
Steady Bloggin’ Presents: Space Age Soul
Monday, May 7th, 2012
My concept for this compilation was very loose – modern music bearing influences of classic soul, funk or jazz; combined with tangible or intangible touches space-age futurism. The only significant restrictive caveats were ‘no rap’ and ‘nothing made more than 10 years ago’. Which gave me a wide range to play with, and so I ended up with a rather varied assortment spread from psychedelic soul to minimalist dub experiments to jazz space operas to bouncy midtempo synth-funk. I did my best to mold it all into some sort of cohesion, and it worked. Kinda.
Some of these songs have been posted here before. Most are fairly obscure, which was a purposeful choice; a few more known exceptions were too good to pass up. I annotated the track list with some notes in case anyone is interested, you can find that below the jump. The whole thing can be streamed via the Bandcamp widget. Enjoy.
TRACKLIST:
1. Wilder Zoby – Contagious
2. Levek – Look On The Bright Side
3. Fiber – Dust
4. BADBADNOTGOOD – Flashing Lights
5. Ari Roze – Rolling With The Dub
6. Mara TK – Run (away from the valley of fear)
7. Sonny Coates x Shafiq Husayn – mjrhe∆vy !!!!!!!!!!!!_! (*)

Quelle Chris – Jock Sin Six (Beat Tape)

You’re gonna need to download this when it drops on Monday. Trust me. It’s excellent. Random point of comparison – while this thing is its own animal, it did in parts reminded me of those dope but unfortunately largely forgotten J-Zone instrumental albums (To Love A Hooker was specifically the one that popped into my head).
EDIT: AND HERE IT IS.

Seems like southern rappers are popping up on classic East Coast beats more than usual recently. Which is just fine by me.

Very intriguing classy noirish rap from Newark’s s.habIB. Fans of Ka would enjoy this I think.
Himself The Majestic – Goin Down

Himself graciously shared the first leak from his upcoming Mexicans Can’t Rap Vol. 2. This track has him rapping over some classic Bay shit, the rest of the tape will take him to some more unexpected musical locales. The pic above is not the cover of the mixtape, although it should be.
