SB "Happy Valentimez"

Always good to get that dope Hip-Hop from the homey Soulbrotha, especially when it's produced by AEON. They actually worked on an entire EP, 4letterword, which is set to drop on the 17th of February, which "tackles different kinds of love that we experience or come into contact with as human beings on a very broad and fundamental level in society... This single, Happy Valentimez deals with love as dealt with between lovers specifically a man and a woman in the context of the song. What better day to drop this than on February 14th the dreaded day of forget-me-nots, flowers, all-red-everything and chocolate?"

[preview] Spec Boogie Introspective

What can I say. Years back, Spec Boogie hit me up when RTD still had a "blogspot.com" on it's ass, I found an MC that helped me understand not only the importance of the Internet in Hip-Hop's next phase, but also got introduced to a true BK spitter and his crew, the Lessondary. Now I know some cats from the clique more than others, but Spec's always been there, doing his thing, and getting a grip of shine. Seems like its been forever and a few days since I first heard about Introspective, and the first time I head "Bed Stuy", I was in awe. Yeah, it sampled one of my favorite movies, but it's not often you catch a tribute to one's city that sounds truly from the heart, and not from the mind trying to capitalize on city pride. Spec's a different animal, and while I piece together pieces of his life through the pieces he places in his lyrics, I feel like I know him. Could grab a beer and chat like old friends.

This week, Boog released Introspective, and it's the truth. It features the aforementioned "Bed Stuy", as well as "Show Up Drunk" with his Lessondary compadres, and features from Tanya Morgan and Peter Hadar. It's a testament to his skillset, and is only 40 minutes. All killer, no filler. Hit the jump to preview the entire project, and read the official press release, then go put down $10 on this.

Von Pea "Boombox"

Von Pea "Boombox" (prod. by AEON): Next leak from Pea's Gotta Have It, from Von Pea and AEON Rush & Rick Rubin. Shit is slick - makes me wish I had one of those expensive ghettoblasters in my possession so I could blast this on the move. Or at least a Walkman.

Pea's Gotta Have It, October 12th.

Von Pea So Motivational: The Most Skullduggery of Mixtapes

Before Von Pea drops Pea's Gotta Have It, he releases this sick mixtape... the MOST SKULLDUGGERY OF MIXTAPES, featuring cuts you might not have heard, and some gems that got lost on the way, featuring the Lessondary camp, Danny!, Sene, XV and many more. I've had the pleasure of jamming to this over the last couple of weeks, and am glad to drop it on the public. Oh, (Cover) ArtByShake. Shouts to Meka.

The Lessondary "Faded"

The Lessondary "Faded" (prod. by AEON): Last Thursday, I was streamin' like crazy; I had Jersey Shore on the one stream, and Donwill's Ustream up, and the Lessondary was going IN. They recorded a few tracks that night, and this is one of them. This cut features Spec Boogie, Donwill, Von Pea, Elucid and Che Grand beasting an AEON track. #sessiondary03 - hopefully Don's streaming tonight like he said he would.

Via Spec Boogie.

Spec Boogie ft. Von Pea, Elucid & Che Grand "BANG!"

Spec Boogie ft. Von Pea, Elucid & Che Grand "BANG!" (prod. by AEON): The first edition of Spec's "Sessiondary" leaks dropped a couple of weeks back, and now this leftover posse cut has been thrown onto the Internets. And damnit if this shit isn't bangin'. When Lessondary connects, shit gets hectic, and you already know what it is when Stringer Bell is on the intro. Organs bangin' for a windy Saturday afternoon.

Via spec boogie.

[video] Elucid "Automatic Writing"



I've been waiting for this one... finally got to see it the other day. One of my favorite cuts from Elucid, and one of AEON's doper beats. Very twisted imagery, fits the track perfectly. This is what we call the beginning...

EDIT Some words from Elucid:

If I learned one thing from the 'Automatic Writing' video experience it would be that there are only two ingredients necessary to accomplish any goal; vision and determination. Somehow the universe throws you in the path of whatever else required for the rest of your journey. This project was a true labor of love and testament to our resourcefulness. What started as late night random idea tossing via instant message (oracles, drapetomania, solar eclipses?!?) quickly morphed into a 4 page video treatment. Shot intermittently during the early months of 2009, without a penny's investment, Boombaye and I trooped through the streets and subways of New York City in true hip hop/guerrilla style shooting illegally on lo-fi equipment without a proper permit. Five months and a number of sleepless nights later, I'm ecstatic to present this piece to the world. Automatic Writing's message of self reliance and empowerment resounds even more so with the accompanying imagery.

'Close your eyes, it feels different here/ Sign of the times, almost in the clear/
I see spaceships on Flatbush, calling me back home/ Resetting the clock to begin again'

Cuing inspiration from my personal musical trinity of Sun Ra, George Clinton, and Afrika Bambaataa, 'Automatic Writing' serves as a statement to the building of a new world. A future world. A better world. The idea of midnight trains, chariots, and even spaceships carrying oppressed people away from their suffering are common themes in American Black music. As a people robbed of their past, now living in the present as aliens in a foreign land that constantly seeks to disparage their identity, we have no choice but to embrace the future and the promise it brings.

Soulbrotha "Life Is Crazy"

Soulbrotha "Life Is Crazy" (prod. by AEON): One of my favorite MCs hooks up with one of my favorite producers to speak on real life. I'm in a contemplative mood myself, today, so this one is hitting me right. Props to them for linking up. Enjoy it, and be on the lookout for a forthcoming project from Soulbrotha, T.A.M. and RTD. More info on that in the very near future...

Bonus Beats Holly Weerd "Weirdo (AEON Remix)"

Aeon Got Beats Vol. 1

One of my favorite producers right now is Philly's Aeon. I've grown to love his work through productions for Tanya Morgan, Elucid, Che Grand, Spec Boogie and others, as well as his wild remix work. He hit my inbox with a 19-track, 45 minute free beat tape, Aeon Got Beats Vol. 1, and you guys need to grab this one. Early!

Tanya Morgan ft. Torae & Supastition "Shake It Off (AEON Remix)"

Tanya Morgan ft. Torae & Supastition "Shake It Off (AEON Remix)": Apparently this has been brimming under the radar, but its news to me. AEON back with another banger, this time in official remix form. Too tough. You should also make sure you peep Elucid's "Automatic Writing", which was also produced by AEON, and was featured on Elucid's Police & Thieves mixtape.
