Ah the good old days. Very nice interview with NAS about cassettes. I thought this fits in well with Jones` last post.

Audio: Awesome Tapes from Africa - Aster Aweke

Since my trip to Ethiopia two years ago I fall in love with the music of the eastafrican region. Maybe because of the Broken Flowers ost or the collaboration of the Hellocentrics with Mulatu Astatke people came to recognise more and more the mystic beauty of that sound. House remixes of mulatu´s hits were released, Nas & Damian sampled Yegeelle Tezeta, OHNO made a whole album going through some ethiopian crates..
Today I wanna show you a favorite blog of mine which is an endless source for african music: awesometapesfromafrica
Brian Shimkovitz from Brooklyn who runs the blog seems to own tons of cassettes from the motherland and he is digitalizing them for our pleasure. You can find all sorts of music there - from cheap, trashy electro reggae to deep funk.

"This is music you won't easily find anywhere else—except, perhaps in its region of origin."

The one I picked out is a very mellow one. As someone mentioned in the comments it´s Asters first recording. Incredible hypnotizing.. Download from awesometapesfromafrica and make shure to check out some of the other posts. But be careful to not get lost in these crates..

Video: The Making Of Nas & Damian Marley's "Distant Relatives"

I like behind the scenes flics when they show the process of making good music. Some are better some are not good enough. This one is somewhere in between (camera man was high all the time?), but I `ll use this video to give everybody who hasn`t listened to this song one last chance (anmachen und alles is Irie). Distant Relatives is in stores.

Audio: Nas And Damian Marley - Patience // Mp3

I did it again. Nas and Marley again?! Had this laying around since yesterday and told myself can`t post them again, but then I read that this will not be on "Distant Relatives" and I personally don`t understand why? So before this get`s lost in the 3 big Ws take a listen. I really dig the first Damian verse...Nas`s verse sounds like he`s been in the studio with his Jamaican brother for some time now. The sample is nice and not Indian at all. Hyptrak tells me it`s of Amadou & Mariam`s last album "Welcome to Mali". “Sabali” means patience.

Audio: Gil Scott-Heron - New York Is Killing Me feat. NAS

"home is where the hatred is", "angel dust", "the bottle" and so on...so i flipped the cover and said to my self ...kick it, quit it...but i just couldn`t resist. 2minsculptureincs4
drug influenced music, drug influenced cover...sorry nas, "i made you look" a little bit like a gay giraffe.

Audio: Counterstrike - The Unkut.com Mixtape

we love queensbridge for mobb deep, nas, tragedy khadafi, infamous mobb, CNN,...
i bet everybody has their own favorites. this mixtape compiled by australian robbie ettelson is hosted by dj doo wop (maybe you know him from tony touch and the diaz bros) who makes this sound even more "ten years ago"...queensbridge at it`s finest...cooked by following the same old recipe. and i don`t hate on it - i love it. the mix is one mp3...maybe next time it comes with a cassette?
thanks to unkut.com for this.
