Green Ova! Anticon! Dipset lyrics! New Underground meets Old Underground! IT’S ALL HAPPENING!!!!
Jokes and conceptual hoopla aside, I honestly prefer Zachg’s beats on this (‘J Bar’ and ‘Take Her Shopping’) to Jel’s. Then again, I’ve never been a big Anticon fan to begin with. DEF JUX 4 LYFE BITCH! MAz over RJD2′s ‘To All Of You’, now that would be some shit.
Main Attrakionz’ willingness to try all sorts of different things to rap over is impressive. Don’t think I ever heard them on bluesy guitar licks before.
At this point I’m actively wondering if and when the MAz sleep, eat and shit… cause honestly I’m not sure how it’s possible to release this much music and still tend to even most basic of life’s needs. This is another new mixtape, another solo Mondre jawnt, with production by Ryan Hemsworth, Friendzone and Al Jieh of SWTBRDS (among others I’m guessing).
EDIT: If you produced something on this, check in with the rest via comments below.
I’m honestly having a hard time today keeping up with both day job duties and the bloggering, so I’ll keep it simple. There will be 4 new Green Ova related projects released today, because Green Ova loves their fans like Trick Love Da Kidz. I will be adding them to this post as they materialize. Two are already up on bandcamp…
This one looks like all new material from assorted Green Ova members.
All the tracks from Chandelier, remixed with new beats. Not a bad idea, especially considering the line up of producers, but also clashes with what innately made the album such a standout for me (see my previous post)
Main Attrakionz’ Chandelier has settled comfortably as my all time favorite MAz release. This is due in large part to LWH’s & Julian Wass’s John Carpenter-inspired production, which I mentioned in more detail when I first posted the album. I’ve wanted an instrumental version ever since the original dropped, and now here it is as an addendum to #GREENOVADAY.

Another MAz-related loosie, why not. This one produced by skywlkr of Danny Brown/Bruiser Brigade fame. Another pic by octopuz23.
New MAz, premiered via Complex (with Soft Money on mp3 assist). No word on what project it’s from or where it will end up, but there is some tour news below.

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.

Very rare very secrete Squadda B digi-single with Sea Things that I completely missed last year. Pretty similar to what Squadda/MAz did with Friendzone.

Never heard this one before. Very rare very secrete early Squadda/Clams collab, recorded in 2010 I guess. Shared via twitter by MAz manager/blogger extraordinaire Walkmaster Flex.
