Asher Roth: The Greenhouse Effect (Vol. 2) [Mixtape]

 photo asherroth_zps277d12ed.png

As of late it seems that Asher Roth has been revisiting his rookie rhymestyle, although seemingly much more settled in his own space than he was on 2008's Greenhouse Effect (Vol. 1). Opting primarily for production from Oren Yoel, he balances beat selection with A-One (produced by Hi-Tek) and Pop Radio (produced by YMNO). Overall, the tape is not his best, yet far from the talentless torment that litters the lanes of mainstream hip-hop.

From Kal-L:

The words of man have been the catalyst to ears throughout the world for centuries to communicate, to bring knowledge and to create change. Daily, we speak to one another and overlook the importance and power of thoughts that are transferred to sounds to help one another. In my years of listening, I have come to absorb the words from my forefathers of rap, philosophy, and pure intelligence. JFK has effected many people in his time, and still to this day the words he spoke have layed foundations for many lives, and guided people on a positive path. I have teamed up with the 'Great' Keor Meteor and Pragmatic Theory to show my dedication to a man that dedicated his life to helping others, and felt that this duo is an example of unity for a greater cause. Enjoy!

StillMuzik presents Looking For The Perfect Beat (Compilation) [Album]

 photo lookingfortheperfectbeat_zpsebc8e9f1.png

Fromm StillMuzik:

In 1983, Afrika Baambataa was 'looking for the perfect beat' with his band Soul Sonic Force.
30 years after, could he suspect that beatmaking could go so far, spreading all across the world?
Everybody is looking for the perfect beat. Especially beatmakers. As a tribute to Bambaataa, this compilation has been trying to contribute to this quest combining the original skills of mad beatmakers. Search for the loop, slice it, paste it, flip it, glitch it, make it right. Whatever the gear - analog, mp3, digital, software, hardware - it doesn't matter as it sounds good. Today's world beatmaking scene is very prolific, some producers are famous, some are getting famous, some work in the shadow of mc's, but everybody still looks for the perfect beat. Dilla-ists, Pete-Rockians, Primo's addicts, Easy-Mo Beeists, whatever school they belong to, all of the beatmakers united in the Volume I of this exclusive compilation brought the finest boombap we all love.

LAKIM & AbJo: Random Access Remixes [EP]

 photo ram_zps2a08571e.png

From Potholes In My Blog:

Upon hearing Daft Punk's brilliant new album, 'Random Access Memories', this past May, two of our favorite producers were immediately inspired. The Potholes Music duo of AbJo and LAKIM then quickly got to work on flipping a few of the standout cuts on the record to create the Random Access Remixes EP. These include epic closing track 'Contact', the Panda Bear-assisted 'Doin' It Right', and throwback synth-epic 'Touch.'

Each and every RAM tune selected by AbJo and LAKIM was meticulously chopped-up and reinterpreted into something entirely new. What's most impressive is how they both tackled 'Doin' It Right' with a completely different and refreshing approach. On one hand, you have AbJo's self-described 'Turn Up RMX' that transforms the laid-back jam into a shot of audio adrenaline. Moments later, LAKIM's flexing his love for G-funk on his 'Left Coast G-Mix', which is sure to stay in your summer rotation right alongside the original.

Yasiin Bey & Preservation The REcstatic [Album]

 photo yasiin_bey_REcstaticTracklist_zps7d49f7e9.png

From Preservation:

The project started as a slow build with a few songs and then it become a challenge to do them all. Because it was a sample-based album, I wanted to keep the remixes sample-based and for them to have the same pitch, key and tone as the originals. The original beats were non-traditional and the amount of singing made it very difficult to remix with this intention of the same energy. It’s the result of countless hours of digging through records to sample, constructing the beat, wrapping it around the vocal, adjusting the tempo, and so on. ‘Quiet Dog Bite Hard’ was exciting because I was remixing my own track and it drew me into the process, and ‘Workers Comp’ was the most unique due to its complex time signature.
