Latest Joint of Mayer Hawthorne "No Strings" is a cooperation with Mazda.?.what ever. No Strings is smooth like all MH tracks but with a stronger personal touch (It seems to me). His sound is so light-footed and makes much fun. Keep it positive Mayer! Nice production by Classixx ! Stream the track above.

Audio: Glasses Malone - Still In The City (Produced By Merlin The Wizard) // Mp3

Sometimes rappers leak so many tracks from their album that I wonder how they expect to sell their CD at all. Glasses Malone will be leaking a track a week until his street album drops in 9 weeks. This is dope as hell buddy, but how many tracks does your album "Drive By Musik" have?
The beat is made in Germany. Killa ding, Alta...
West Coast. Yeah dat...

Download: Void Pedal - Void Pedal E.P.

Fieldwerk Recordings and Void Pedal released the "Void Pedal // E.P". Void Pedal from Chicago, Illinois producing Downtempo & Hip Hop music with freethinker attitudes.

This is delightful. Peeped by Homie Dj Pratt, the Dude who mixed the 1.st "Beasts of the Leaks" Mixtape for Rapohnelizenz. Stay Tuned!

Curren$y - Pilot Talk 2 // Trailer

I honestly was a bit dissapointed with Pilot Talk except songs like "Address" featuring Stalley, "Prioritize" and "King Kong", but this makes me hope for a better sequel.
The song is produced by none other than Ski Beatz and comes with that perfect stoner vibe that I want to hear the Spitta jump on.
Plus I love it when people "sample" old skool video material for a music video.
Creative Control equals quality.

Mr.Kaossilator by Space Kid
King-KongWeekend (sketch) by Space Kid

Homie Jimmy showed me some dope beats by Beat Maker Beat a while ago and he posted a lot of BMB stuff on the blog. Here i found some new tracks at his soundcloud, some really haunting joints. Space sounds climbing over samples and riding these sick drum arrangements. The Spacekid is a 20 years old guy from Russia and a name you shouldn't miss. More new tunes via Soundcloud.

Video: Dibiase – Skullcrack // Machines Hate Me

Dibiase "Skullcrack" from Alpha Pup on Vimeo.

The first time i met the sound of Dibiase was in february as his Cakeology E.P. dropped. Dude impressed me so much with that Keep on Runnin song. Since this day in feb, i was totally avid on that Dibiase sound. Skullcrack is the icing on the cake, i love that dub basses and that energy you can ever exert at the club. A good friend of mine said to me, if you begin to revel those tunes long-ranging you will land at least at minimal house. No brother. Dibiase is the Dude of the Dudes in 2010 and Im really happy that he is on our 1.st Beat Tape, therefore it will be immortal. Yo!

Album, Machines hate me will drop today: AlphaPup
