Ritchcraft's 30 In 30 - Day 17: I Surprise Myself Too
FOTM: THUGSTEP #32
Gotta love how shit works. DJ Nappy has been getting acquainted with the sounds of now, and has been bitten by the Drumstep bug - I'm sorry. It's dope b/c with all of the acapellas out there, the Drumstep tempo lends itself well for his brand of refixin', so cats like Dub Foundation are right up the nigga's alley. Their recent EP, Mr. Blonde, features two versions of their "Time To Burn" tune - one in a Drumstep vibe, the other in a DnB crawl. Nappy being Nappy flipped the Drumstep version first:Rich Boy - D Boyz (Disc Jockey Nappy vs. Dub Foundation Drumstep Mix) by djnappy
And guess what? I asked for him to throw the same vocal over the Rich Boy, and it works just as nice. Dancefloor destruction like that? Like that.

Rickie Jacobs "Exhibit R"
Rickie Jacobs "Exhibit R": It’s not only been a minute since I’ve listened to Jay Electronica’s “Exhibit C”, but it’s been a while since I’ve heard a nigga spazz over this heater of an instrumental. Rickie takes us into his cipher, bringing some proper Bmore vibes to one of the finest beats of the last couple of years. Shit don’t even make sense, just press play and be amazed.J.Good ft. L.E.G.A.C.Y & Von Pea "Change My Way"
J.Good ft. L.E.G.A.C.Y. & Von Pea "Change My Way" (prod. by Tellapath): Having just been introduced to J.Good the other day, I wasn’t expecting him to sort out a track with two of my favorite MCs, L.E.G.A.C.Y. and Von Pea. It’s almost like they crafted this track for me. Over a heavenly beat, Leg, Pea and J provide exactly what the title says – breaking down the trials and tribulations that sew the seeds for changes niggas have to make in life. It’s hard being a starving artist, especially when you’re locked up for slanging trees when you should be in the studio or on tour. Love the cuts DJ Jun throws on here – has a lil Preem feel to it, cutting up phrases to accent the underlying theme. Beautiful track. Look On The Brightside is on the way.FACT Mix 226: Photek
Photek's on the return with a new EP, Avalanche, and dropped this special "influences" mix for FACT. My kind of mix: diverse - there's some techno, some Hip-Hop and a gaggle of other bits. FACT says this will only be up for three weeks, so grab it now and mirror it if you like!DOWNLOAD FACT Mix 226: Photek

JSWISS ft. Maya Azucena "My Way"
JSWISS ft. Maya Azucena "My Way" (prod. by J Roc): Tomorrow, myself and Nanci O will be presenting Out Of State Intuition, the fresh new mixtape from a refreshing artist. This is the final leak, and has a lazy summer live vibe to it. Track isn't a homage to Sinatra, but the ethos is still the same: being an individual, where JSWISS picks it up and let's you know that there's no compromise when it comes to his craft. He's doing him for him, and won't be anyone's suited monkey to get a deal. Gotta respect that.And if you've missed any of the tracks he's leaked from Out Of State Intuition, hit up this post on Nanci's page.
