We have been honored to provide the soundtrack to the one of the UK’s best independent clothes stores to commemorate their 5th anniversary. Located just off Hoxton square in London, GOODHOOD are celebrating with a brand new space with a 100% exclusive monochromatic collection by some of the best designers in the industry: Antipodium, Norse Projects, Soulland, Hyde S.K, Great River, Gasius, Bag’N'noun and R.Newbold to name but a few. Conceived for continuous play in the store – our 100 minute score by Dominic Flannigan & Claude Speeed spans contemporary classical, ambient and drone, littered with many forthcoming exclusives from the LuckyMe label. You should expect a long walk through many beautiful and dangerous places. The work is celebrated on a plaque on the wall of the space, and customers can pick up free download cards of the mix in full in store. Although, we are now hosting the soundtrack on soundcloud for the rest of the world to hear.
Via PNC Radio: "In this ep of The Combat Jack Show, filling in for the vacationing Dallas Penn was none other than Coney Island’s finest, Black Torae stopped by to promote his new projects For The Record and Off The Record. Just Blaze explains the controversy surrounding the production of the new Fabolous street leak “So NY“. Did Just Blaze do such a dishonorable thing?? Also Torae spit a mean freestyle over some JB selections. Premium Pete got his rap on too, haha! Hit that play button…."
"Easy Mo Bee was instrumental in some of the most ground-breaking productions of hip-hop artists in the 90s era. Widely known for his influential musical presence with B.I.G.'s "Ready to Die", Easy Mo Bee brought a futurized funk to a genre that was unheard of. His work with so many greats still demands to be recognized. This mix helps serve that purpose. Dedicated to and inspired by my good friend, Matthew Africa (RIP)"
Via Rosenberg: "You talk about legends! Man I am excited that this one came together. One of Ciph and my all time favorites. Great stories here about DITC, Fat Joe, Big L, and lots of other awesomeness…."
This project features a grip of new Elucid material, including stuff with AM Breakups as Cult Favorite. Also Billy Woods and more. That Progressive shit.
You'd laugh if I told you how quickly this one got turned around. Fools Gold has some contest with the "Grown Up" acapella going down. Nappy cooked this with the QUICKNESS. Lovin' it.
I'm going to assume that you've heard about this Munchi/Azealia Banks situation that brewed on twitter yesterday regarding the scheduled release of "Esta Noche" as a single on iTunes - without Munchi's knowledge prior to. I got the exclusive official statement from Munchi on this (shouts to Nappy) and it's up on Pigeons & Planes right now.
New feature over at Pigeons & Planes, taking a look at the 10 Best remixes of Frank Ocean material. I contributed to a few of these; +1 for whomever can figure out which ones I wrote. Shouts to my boy Jon Tanners - tag team champions!
"Boasting" is half of a two-part series in which both Myke Boogie and Dee Rush go in individually on the same track. This will also be included on the "J4F2" project. Dee Rush's version impacts on Wednesday and is entitled "Bragging".
