Combat Jack and company didn't let a little thing like Kool Herc canceling shut their show down. What we get this week is a pure, unadulterated edition of the show, with Internets calling in, a Matt RAZ-less edition of the news, some special guests dropping by the booth and just pure hilarity. Great way to spend your day. Shouts to the fam.
I had a brief conversation with one of The Two. Fifteens, whom I'd never spoken with via telephone. It's weird how your Internets works. My man actually hit me up because it was 2/15 and, you know, that's their namesake (although their moniker has nathan to do with post-Valentine's Day). There might be those of you who sleep on RTD, Benji B, XLR8R, Starkey and the other tastemakers who've latched onto the brothers, so it made sense to bring some of you nigras up to speed on their last two releases, The Commute, Vol. 1 and Stripes. Both are examples of the next-level of bass music, and great insight into the melting pot of sounds that things like your Internets can create. Hit the jump for downloads of both, and celebrate 2/15 properly - with The Two. Fifteens! And be on the lookout for Effective When Used After...
Presented by The Mad Bloggers and RTD, the MC formerly known as Adebisi brings you his new moniker, Blax, and essentially celebrates that with this 11-track release. Features include Mikkey halsted, Que Billah, Dana Coppa and more. For $5, you get some pure, unadulterated rawness. Stream the entire jawn below, and if you fucks with it, put some bucks on it.
This might be one of the sleepers of the project. For you cats who are ready to drop some dance moves on the floor, this Zomby beat might be the thump you need. Cartoon wastes no time expressing just how wild of a boy he is, whether it's making sure he has his luchini or or chick. Perfect marriage of wild lines over a ferocious riddim. Nappy sure knows how to pick 'em. I'm not sure if Clubtapes is ready for the rampage Mass Effect is about to rain down this Friday! February 17th!
I don't know much about E.Q. & Tislam, but I love this late-night, double bass flavor. Has that Memorex/Jansport backpack flavor, middle of the cipher shit. Some coded language in here, let it seep in.
