I like this dude`s style a lot. Though I have to say that the previous two videos were much better, but the music is just as good. Grief Pedigree is coming soon.
I would never try to call this genuine or close to reality, because i have no idea. But that much is clear, series contains 30 min. of watchable and worthwhile material. http://www.sandylakdar.com

"New World" is the new E.P. of Rasson, an artist from West Covina (California), you may know him of the collaborations with Georgia Anne Muldrow or Declaime. Peep this G.A.M produced song "Tech Savyy" btw, this happened during his time as a part of the Hip Hop group Mob Zombie. "New World" is his latest musical journey and reflects his passion for
experimenting with beats and pushing his own boundaries. Get your copy and the complete stream after the jump.
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.
Special Psych-Funk and Afro-Beat guest Mix by "Karl Hector & The Malcouns" (Munich) for Now-Again Records. A short while ago they also released their "Tamanrasset" EP via Now-Again/Stones Throw Records. Im sure Jan Weisenfeldt is not a unknown person to you if you are down with funk..yieo
