MED, noted for Medaphoar, Lootpack, Quasimoto and Madlib projects is the mastermind behind this project. BLU hit the post once released his classic LP „Below The Heavens“.
On BAD NEIGHBOR they are featuring Dam-Funk, Anderson .Paak, Hodgy Beats (Odd Future), Mayer Hawthorne, Oh No, MF DOOM, Aloe Blacc and many more. The first previews/Singles are „Finer Things“ feat. Phonte (Little Brother, The Foreign Exchange) and Likewise (Pac Div). before they released videos for „Burgundy Whip“, „Knock Knock“ (feat. MF DOOM) and „Peroxide“ (feat. Dam-Funk, DJ Romes). Enjoy the ride.
Odd Future's 'OF Tape Vol. 2 is out today, album is mostly horrible. The oldie song is a crew song and features Tyler, The Creator, Hodgy Beats, Left Brain, Mike G, Domo Genesis, Frank Ocean, Jasper Dolphin and Earl Sweatshirt. "Oldie" and "NY (Ned Flander)" are the exceptions if you ask us. Earl is the chief and i overheard that he is cooking smth. up with Jonwayne.
M.E.D. has a new album out and it is pretty fucking classic. I guess M.E.D. is one of my favorite rappers just because of the fact that he`s been involved in so many classic records. I don`t know how many times I listened to The Unseen.
They allowed me to stream a couple of the tracks from the album, so here are my favorites (that have not yet leaked as free tracks):
M.E.D. - War And Love ft. Oh No (Prod. By The Alchemist) by rapohnelizenz.com
First up I wanted to share this gloomy beast produced by The Alchemist and Oh No as the sparring partner. The beat is very simple at first, but opens up once you focus on all the little details and sounds. Heavy bass accompanied by strings and distant screams. Styles P would have been crazy for a third verse.
Second track I like a lot is the "smoke-a-tree-in-the-whip" song. Medical Card is produced by the Beat Konducta who did half of the beats anyways.In this song he praised the californian invention of the medical card. Madlib chops this thing into funkyland!
I guess my personal Classic by Medaphor would sound like a mixture of those two tracks. A bit more into the direction of a Madvillain experience. Madlib and MED locked in the bombshelter.
Though I don`t want to take anything away from this project. Good to see Kurupt on here, Hodgy Beats, Oh No and Planet Asia are some of the features.
Ok the internet connection here in Ramallah is ok, but to download this mixtape (100mb) it will take a while. So I guess you will just have to take a listen for yourself and download this right here.
From what they tell us it must be a little bit darker compared to their recent tapes. So that sounds promising.
This is what they had to say:
MellowHype ( Left Brain And Hodgy Beats) Finally Releases Their Second Album Entitled BLACKENEDWHITE. Fully Produced By Left Brain, Hodgy Beats Takes On A Darker Note This Time Around. Featuring Appearances By Mike G, Tyler Creator, Domo Genesis, Frank Ocean And The Mysterious Earl Sweatshirt, This Album Is Packed With Gun Sounds, Grams OF Coke And Dead Cops. The Perfect Soundtrack For Mobbing On A Dark Halloween Night.
OLD! This is way old! - Don`t be complaining, biatch!
Now we`re only slowly picking up what these young fools have been putting out so far. For those of you who don`t know yet, check em out here.
These two songs are off The Dena Tape which you can download here. In the second song he describes how making beats is like touchin on a broad. Yeah that.
Solo will hit hit you with his latest tape in a minute.
