Audio: D-Sisive – Ray Charles (Looking For A Star) feat. King Reign // Mp3

I love it when a dope song comes with a dope cover.Everybody should know about D-Sisive and his last two albums, if you don`t know check his blog. Very cool guy. Same goes for King Reign. I loved "Soaring to Heaven" and the incredible Saukrates Remix which I have to post sooner than later, because it`s one of my favorite tracks right now.
Great song, people.

Audio: Copywrite - Last Laugh // (produced by Khrysis) // from upcoming Release: T.H.E. High Exulted 8th Anniversary Edition

T.H.E. High Exulted 8th Anniv. Edition - Last Laugh (prod.by Khrysis)


Copywrite who is always the perfectionist, took it upon himself to record new material to add to this 8th Anniversary Edition. Between releasing his latest EP (Ultrasound The Rebirth) in January and his new opus The Life and Times of Peter Nelson due in Fall 2010, Copywrite made the time to add 7-new songs. Bridging the gap between the younger battle hungry MC of the original T.H.E. High Exhaulted release and the now older, wiser, and more talented artist Copywrite has become today was important. With new producers such as Khrysis, Kount Fif, Jay Notes and Rob Stern helping to craft a different sound, Copywrite is once again free to show the world how truly impressive he can be.

Audio: 7ONE8 (Albe Back x Whosane) - Rollout // Mp3

We`ve been peepin Whosane since his beautiful cameo with Mos Def and Ski Beatz. Now I see he is putting in work with Albe Back as 7ONE8. My first impression listening to the first few bars was something like G-Unit-Tony-Yayo??? ...then everything switches into headbobbin mode and I am down with this. Whosane is definitly somebody you shouldn`t sleep on. I found a little freestyle from his last travel to South Africa. Check out his work with his Pangaea crew.
Don`t say we didn`t tell you.
Big Up to Hussain.

Audio: Perry Porter (Sleep Steady) - Tribute To Nujabes - NuJams

"Perry Porter" (Sleep Steady) produced a mini E.P. named "Tribute To Nujabes - NuJams",a tribute for one of his fav. Producers "Nujabes".This E.P. is luscious and esthetic.The Producer and Labelhead of "Hydeout Productions" died after an car accident in Feb. 2010."Nujabes" Partner "Shing02" said the following words:

"Through his soulful music, Nujabes has touched so many people around the world, even beyond his dreams. He was a mysterious character to most as he avoided the public limelight, rarely conducted interviews, so only a few got to know the man behind the signature production. Yet it continued to amaze me how young listeners of all backgrounds learned of his enigmatic name, and expressed support for his music."

Audio: Homeboy Sandman - Yeah But I Can Rhyme Though // Mp3

Don`t know why this cover reminds me about this right here:Especially when Ty dropped this one not too long ago:Well maybe I am wrong and he didn`t think of Groover Washington Jr.`s cover at all. Anyways... the music sounds very refreshing and well... clever, which is something that we don`t come across very often in HipHop. Peep it. Homeboy Sandman`s album is out now.

2. Understand It(ft. Hilsyde)
3. Wakin’ Up
4. 2Fast
5. Bounce(ft. Versis)
6. Players

All tracks produced by J Listed except track 3 produced by Lucid and tracks 2, 5, 6 and 7 co-produced by Versis. This album was recorded and mixed by Listed @ Seven Day Studios.Concepts consists of tracks we’ve done as long as a year back. I was going to put some of these tracks on our upcoming LP “Dusk Till Dawn“ but last minute we came up with the idea for this EP Concepts and I thought I Am, Players, and Understand It would be a good fit for it. Versis held me down with basslines and input on production on the majority of this record. Album artwork by Black Marmalade. Seven Day “Concepts“ dropping May 25th.

Some days ago we received a mail from "Versis" to get a listen on "Gotta Love It" produced by "J Listed".I liked that Song of young newcomer "Versis" and i found a really dope collaboration song called "Yeah Yeah Yeah" produced by "Flako" @ "Myspace".Yesterday "J Listed" and "Jay Diction" released "Seven Day - Concepts E.P.",a felicitous E.P. with some good Beats and nice features with Hilsyde,Versis & Eva.Take a listen and support the L.A. Underground.Yo!

Info: Ein Herz für Blogs

Ich lege also hiermit fest, dass das dritte “Ein ♥ für Blogs” am 25.05.10 (Das ist nächste Woche Dienstag) stattfindet. Ihr müsst nicht mehr tun, als in euren Blogs andere (deutschsprachige) Blogs zu empfehlen, von denen ihr denkt, dass sie zu wenig Aufmerksamkeit finden und die ihr sowieso total super findet. Wenn ihr im Vorfeld von der Aktion berichtet, machen natürlich mehr Menschen mit und die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass erneut eine Maxi-Geschichte passiert steigt.

Und ich mache es kurz und nenne ein paar Blogs auf denen wir uns rumtreiben:

Download Hypedog pres.:"The New School 2010 Beat Tape"
Yeh, we all know about J Dilla, Dre, Alchemist, 9th Wonder and Madlib... but yo, it's 2010! There's a slew of talented producers out there that need to be noticed!

Luigi-Bo 87 rounds up talents from across the globe to combine the hardest, neck noddin, tectonic shaking beats built by up and coming producers from the US, EU and UK. Whether your boom bap purists or electro 8-bit glitch hop "The New School" in production is defined through these 10 beat smiths:

XPERIMENT//B. LEWIS//J. BIZNESS//NAMELESS//JAISU//INPHY//S-TYPE//MYKE FORTE//BUG//JON PHONICS

I hope you guys enjoyed the blog post series! It was definitely fun for me to put together and I hope it brought some new producers to your attention. I've noticed a few people have asked Hypedog or myself where they can download some of these tracks from since the majority are exclusives. Well you guys are in luck because all ten beats, including one extra track from each producer will be released on "The New School Beat Tape 2010". So that's the ten you see above plus 10 more beats to get your head bangin. Stay tuned... - Luigi-Bo 87
