Audio: Iron Solomon - Spring Fever feat. Gordon Voidwell // Mp3

Iron Solomon? Who the F...?
Googling the dude I learn that he`s been known for battling dudes on camera. Here is an example.
Actually I don`t care about any of that stuff. The song is pretty fucking dope (besides the hook being extra cheesy). Summer is coming this weekend. Finally.
Peace.

Audio: Dr. Quandary - Beyond All Spheres of Force and Matter // Album// Stream

Dr. Quandary is an interesting producer out of Boston. Appearently it took him four years to produce this (now is that good or bad?).Some arabic sample influences, very mellow and soundtrack like.
The whole tape is stream only but the song above is for free. If you like it go and support (5$).

Check out our homie Tork and his Syria Album if you like Beat Tapes with Arab Samples.
Found at Kevin Nottingham.
Peace.

Audio: Styles P - Sellouts feat. Bully // Mp3

We love Styles P. Here he comes with a new one produced by Statik Selektah who knows how to chop a drum loop. Rappers don`t have time for Hooks nowadays. Why?
Cool.

Audio: Nickelus F - What Am I Supposed To Do // Mp3

We posted the coolest songs of Season Premiere a while back.
Let me be clear. I am a little dissapointed here. This is the second to last song of the tape and the only song (except Agressive Content and Fall back) that is a little more inspiring than the rest. If you wanna check for your self than get it right here.

Audio: Ghostpoet - The Sound Of Strangers EP // 1.June.2010

New Stuff from London Label "Brownswood-Recordings" (Gilles Peterson).Ghostpoet is a talented Singer and Poet like his name also depicts.Instrumentals are innovative and laid-back.Strong 4 Track E.P.:Take a listen and you'll do right!I cant tell you much about "Ghostpoet" (apart from the fact that he is part of "Gilles' Top 10 Breakout Artists of the Year")so i used his description i found on his myspace!

The sound and texture of my new work has been bubbling away for a little while now..i think i'm getting closer & clooooser. Just been made redundant so more time to plan my life, make this music work and enjoy the little things in life cause that's all i got right now (and happy with my lot : ). Still devouring rich tea biscuits now with jam on top mmmmm.Music is my pacemaker, my conscience and my compass...all i want to do is create pieces to musically touch people...please spread the word and enjoy.

Fuck The Music For Once (Politics)

Now I haven`t done this before. Please forgive me. I seriously thought about posting the new Tabi Bonney or Royce Da 5`9`` Mixtape, but I just don`t feel like it. You will find them at your other favorite rap-blog for shure.
What really disturbs me today is that the Isreali Defence Forces killed god knows how many peace activists last night and nobody is saying shit. What the fuck?!
What`s the difference between a Terrorist Organization and the fucking IDF,or better any fuckin army in the world!?
God only knows what will happen next.
For now I want to send my condolences to all the families who lost somebody in this conflict.
Stop this madness.
Go and make yourself heard.

Audio: Geutz - Taugenichts // prod. by Lucky Loop

Wenn es um Doitschrap geht bin ich ja immer wieder der Meinung das die Würzburger Szene stark unterbewertet blieb.Wahrscheinlich betrifft das so einige Orte in Good Ol' G. wo guter Rap sich im Sande verläuft weil er den gefragten Hip Hop Atttitüden im Jahre 2010 nicht entspricht.Nicht das es bei "Geutz" so passiert ist,im gegenteil,er hat sich nach erfolgreich veröffentlichter Single "Taugenichts" unter Rap.de Records (2001) und dem ausgelösten Rummel um seine Person einfach aus dem Hip Hop Zirkus zurück gezogen.Jammerschade auf der einen Seite,ein Beweis starker Persönlichkeit auf der anderen.
Der schöne Beat kommt von einem der bekanntesten Würzburger Produzenten "Lucky Loop" (auch hier Lucky Loop),früher auch "Diverse Pole",der sich jedoch mittlerweile vielseitig auslebt,von Dipset (Franky Kubrick,weiß nciht mehr wie der Song hiess/ouch/RMX glaub ich) über Raggae und Produktionen für Tall Mc (Gangsterrap?kann sein,kenn mich nicht aus/hehe). Ein talentierter Producer ist er allemal,aber ich wünsche mir mehr von dem alten Zeug.Noch ein Tip am Rande von den Würzburger Sicksteez die in der Stadt immer noch guten Rap hoch halten.-> Sicksteez - Ruhig bleiben!Bis baldigst!
