Throwback

I have been listening to a lot of classic soul, funk and dub lately but this blog is all about the newest music. Luckily I have also been listening to some awesome 2008/09 tunes that fit these genres.

For the soul we have Mayer Hawthorn (click below and make sure you listen to "Green Eyed Love" which kicks in at the 13 minute mark)



For the funk, imagine if James Brown was a modern day Japanese man ... it'd probably sound and possibly look something like this



For the dub we have NZ's finest Fat Freddy's Drop with their latest single "Pull The Catch". Quality music. Tasty crayfish.

Thank you Mr Broder

Andrew Broder the main man behind Fog has made a collection of his music available to us. Enjoy, but remember if you want to "give a motherfucker some money for all this stuff" please paypal any amount you like to: thefog@visi.com

Some Joe Beats

Grab a couple free mp3s from Joe Beats Blog.

Bucks Been Busy

Buck 65 aka Rich Terfry has been super busy pumping out new music and hosting the CBS2 3-6 daily drive show. You can listen to his show live from the CBS2 website. It's basically what you would expect a quirky guy with a husky voice playing music and telling stories. It is not a hip hop show, he plays all types of music but it is usually pretty soft music.

Buck has also pumped out three mixtapes in the Dirtbike series. You can grab them from the links below.

Dirtbike 1/3
Dirtbike 2/3

To get the downloading started here is Xczircles - Act of Gosh album.

Time for Plan B

Plan B (aka Ben Drew) has proven he can tell a good story with his music career. He is now about to make his acting debut in Adulthood (the follow up to 2006's Kidulthood).

On his Myspace blog Ben says, "I thought acting would be easy and it is... but it's hard to do it well and I guess time will tell whether I did or not". I am sure he will be great but if not he can get back to making music. His next album sounds like it will be interesting with the story revolving around a single character. As Ben put it "The trials and tribulations of a fucking smackhead"

new in 2008

I've spent most of this year checking out hip hop I missed from the previous couple of years until about two weeks ago. Suddenly I have been blessed with several new quality releases.

Straight outta the Bay Area we have Lyrics Born with Everywhere at Once. From Minnesota Ant & Slug aka Atmosphere have given us Sad Clown Bad Dub 12 & 13 (don't sleep on these) and their magnum opus When Life gives you Lemons Paint that Shit Gold which probably has the highest quality CD packaging I have ever seen. Representing for Europe, Looptroop Rockers (devious gee!) with Good Things and finally an Australian release of Promoes Standard Bearer.

Did you catch all them links? I'm going to keep them coming so keep up.

So I said I have been checking out some hip hop from the last couple of years and now maybe you're asking, did you hear any thing good? Well yeah, thanks for asking. I have found a bunch of albums I am loving which all happen to be produced by the same guy Factor. He's from Saskatoon Canada and apparently he makes beats for ALL the emcees there, well maybe not all of them but he has produced most of the music from Side Road Records. I titled this post "new in 2008" so I better keep it real and let you in on some insight, Factor's new album is going to be the album of the year! Chandelier has the who's who of hip hop Myka 9, Sadat X and Noah 23 over Factor beats, like I said album of the year.

The other exciting release that is due later this year is Dez and Nobs with their follow up to Bohemoth. In anticipation and appreciation I have added Nobs regularly updated blog Big Guy Bigger Beats to my blog roll.
