ME LOVE U LONG TIMES

Babu-Konnichiwa_Bitches-2012-FTD


Several months ago my friends B+ and EC hit me up about
doing a mixtape consisting of Japanese records. B, E and
myself had all been on ridiculous digging missions together
before and they had known that I had lost my mind in japan a
couple times copping Japanese joints… so this idea made
perfect sense… this mix contains a lot of tv and movie
soundtracks and scores, studio background music, anime
soundtracks, funk, pop, rock & soul with the common thread
being dope funky music! I hope u enjoy listening as much as
I enjoyed putting this together!

– Peace, BABU/DILATED/JUNKY

14KT-Blessed-CDS-2012-UC


The producer behind The Athletic Mic League brings us his new video, which is a look behind the scenes. Hailing from Michigan, 14KT has been making noise for some time now. I still have some old promo wax from my college days kickin around here that he produced. This is taken from his new record "A Friendly Game Of KT", which has some serious tracks on there. He will be someone to look out for in the coming months.

Sha_Stimuli-The_Emcee-2012-Xplode


Sha Stimuli drops another installment of his Real Tape Series. This would be #5. I'm not a huge fan of Sha, but he has his moments and you have to respect what this guy is doing to build his brand. It's one of the better in the series that I have heard. A few industry instrumentals mixed with original production for this one.

Tracks.
1. The Emcee
2. The Difference
3. So Good feat. Nino Bless, Crooked I, and Cambatta
4. Connect 4 Part 2 feat, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Skyzoo, and Chaundon

Sev_Statik_X_Goldtooth-Say_Peace_(Live at Valentine's_6.8.2012)-UC


Here's a video I just stumbled across of the homie Sev and his band Goldtooth rocking the Say Peace joint I produced for him live. I always love to see stuff like this and see people's reactions to the music I produce. As for seeing it live, that's a whole other element everyone should have the chance to enjoy. Goldtooth kills this song whenever they play it, and Sev has been coming correct for years.

Peace.

Sev_Statik_and_The_Vinylcologist-Right_and_Exact_VIDEO-2012-UC


The latest video from the Sinderblock EP. Flimed at the Marketplace Gallery and other spots in Albany. This is a simple but effective video that I felt embraced the song and it's meaning after I saw it. Sev gets all the credit for this video though, he has a great way of visualizing what he wants and making it happen. Shouts out to Flux and his bro Zach for the dopeness. Check them out at Appiovisual for rates and releases. I'm not really the guy that likes to be in videos, but there are a few cameos for some of upstate's finest emcees. Go ahead and download Sinderblock album here, if you don't already have it.



Showbiz-The_Cloth_VIDEO-2012-UC

Here's an ill release that just came through VIA D.I.T.C. This video is just a bunch of older visuals from the camp and is set to an instrumental off the new Showbiz Instrumental project that carries the same name. The Diggin crew has consistently dropped hot music over the years even after taking the blow of the death of Big L. The new Showbiz and AG album, Mugshot Music Reloaded it set to drop May 8th on Itunes



Fokis-Lyrical_Homicide_feat._Livin_Proof _and_Sadat_X-VIDEO-2012-UC


I met Fokis back when he came to do a show at Oneonta in '02. I did a radio interview with him and got to kick it for a bit which was chill. Ever since then I have followed him as closely as I could over the years. I was extremely pleased to see this pop up.


Mirk-Grind-2012-UC


The band is Mirk, The style is Hip Hop Funk Soul Jazz Prog, and they have the talent and are making the right moves to get somewhere good in this business. Led by producer, vocalist, and lyricist Mirk, This collective of artists blend together smoother than peanut butter and fluff on white. They host a weekly open mic and are constantly 'grindin' out the scene. Last week's 420 show with Mr. Cheeks was supercrisp to the ear to say the least, and last night's performance opening up for Rakim had heads all singing along to their catchy hooks and riffs. If you don't fall in love with the sound of these guys you are either a dummy, or an envious prick that has an ego the size of The Egg. Since I know Mirk personally I asked him if I could post the album to help promote it for him and he gave me the OK to "spread the love" even though it is for sale everywhere else. If you would like to buy a hard copy of the album and limited edition Tree Shurt click here. I've also enclosed a ton of exclusive pictures of the group so are rare and some were taken last night on my phone. They will be opening for a number of upcoming shows in the Capital Region as more hip hop parties arise. So if you are in the area and feel the need to dance off the shit week you had, take a look in the Metroland for their shows, or stop by Justin's on Lark on Thursday night and you may just run into them.

Jack Splash is one half of the duo Chain Swangaz along with fellow whiteboy Dirt Nasty. They just snail mailed this disc to me a few weeks ago right after my last post. This is the next in the series after Heir to the Throne, which dropped back in '09.

Artifacts-Easter-CDS-2012-UC


The Artifacts dropped this on Easter after linking up with Khrysis. It's till available only as stream due to a limited number of downloads. I talked with Tame One and El back at Brooklyn Bowl during BK hip Hop fest and they assured me they were holding down the studio and had a new album on the way. We can all sit and hope that they bring it back to the tracks and shock us like the third rail.

Sev_Statik_and_The_Vinylcologist-Say_Peace_Remix-CDS-2012-UC

It's been exactly one month from the time we dropped the Sinderblock EP. Sev and myself can't thank everyone enough for showing support and the great feedback on the record. Now I don't usually do remixes unless it is industry stuff or immediate fam, but you know how the saying goes... "I does ish right the first time, no need for a remix..." thx to Smog for that wonderful concept. In true fun I thought it would be good to do a remix and include the instrumental since you all have been so great to us. I always used to get amped when people gave out the instrumental to a remix. This has been done a while ago and has been sitting since the album was finished. I didn't want to overwhelm people with too much at once and it would also give heads a great reason to revisit the song even though I know you all have the album on repeat.
*winks to everyone who's in on it
Keep spreading the good word and post it on any site or anywhere you want.
Sev will be opening up for Rakim at Northern Lights along with Mirk and a few others. I will be in the house as well chillin so say what up if you recognize me.
In the meantime enjoy this.

VA-Refined_Hype-Intelligent_Design-2012-UC

The website Refined Hype brings you this dope 10 track album. Great production on here and yes, someone else used the "I need the dollar" sample and just shortened it...as if we wouldn't notice. My favorite track on here is "her bourne identity".. it pretty much sold me on checking the whole record.

"Intelligent Design" is a collaboration between yours truly, the mothership, FamCo Clothing and 2WordstotheTop. Featuring singles "Her Bourne Identity", "Hustla" and "The Way Its Gon Be", the ten track album contains rhyme work from the likes of JSWISS, BLAX, Skyblew, Charmingly Ghetto, K. Sparks and many more. Production comes from The Accomplices, Jimmy Flight, DJ Bum Brown and others.

Roc_Marciano-Emeralds-CDS-2012-UC

The video dropped a few days ago, but is too blogworthy not to post it. The first single off Roc Marci's Marcberg (Reloaded) that came out about 5 months ago. The album is set to be released on Decon this month and will feature production from Alchemist and Roc Marc. Another new project that focuses on Marci's production; Marci Beacoup will feature Evidence, Action Bronson, and Guilty Simpson and is set for release later in the year. There is speculation that Marci is part of a new group called M.A.R.S. based on the video and song produced by Large Pro feat. Action, Cormega, and Saigon. Who knows what the real deal with that is, but when I find out I'll keep you in the loop.

Primo stepped into Hot 97 yesterday and blessed the throwback jams at noon. A ton of fire jams people may have forgot about. Hot 97 has been experimenting with the originators of the DJ craft by having them come and spins a set of their personal fav's. The result is receiving rave reviews and might even be giving them some credibility back.

Sean_Born-Behind_The_Scale-2012-UC

Mello Music Group dropped the new Sean Born album recently. Mostly produced by Kev Brown, with additional beats by Oddessy and Kenwood. Overall, Behind The Scale channels Raekwon’s classic Only Built 4 Cuban Linx as a captivating saga centered on three main topics: drugs, crime, and violence. The varied production plays a major role in Born’s success, but his offbeat flow is a flawless centerpiece for the menacing soundtrack.

02. Queen Anne (prod. Kenwood)

03. Go Hard

Fresh off the press is this mixtape by Wop and Asia. I haven't even listened to it yet, but knowing these two from past releases will prove that this is probably dopeness. I wasn't too crazy about the CD he dropped over the Madlib beats. I thought, If you are connected with them, why wouldn't you just take unreleased Lib beats and drop something? I love hearing new verses, but not when it's over beats from over a year ago that have already been released.

LOKO LOCALS

GM_and_Junko-Spanish_Fly-CDS-2011-UC

This was recorded almost a year ago and all of us forgot about it. I was going to release a 2011 year in review mixtape and never got around to it. One reason was because everyone and their mother did a year end list/release, another was that there was too many releases to keep track of. Eventually I will drop something similar to Wonderful Wino Radio with unreleased tracks, beats, and remixes. I'm not sweating it now because I have a few other projects in the works. This track will most likely be released on GCE Vol. 2 which will be coming shortly.
You go ahead and be sure to keep up. 2012 is gonna be epic.

Melvin_Junko-Hardcore-CDS-2012-UC

The latest release from one of my friends and favorite producer/emcees. I think he changed his name up for this release, but it will always be Junko for me. Dope track, very heartfelt. This kid shouldn't be slept on, he has a ton of talent and thrives off of making classic material. Wake up people. I will always consider him one of us because he continues to contribute to the Cap region.

Sev_Statik_and_The_Vinylcologist-Sinderblock-Coverart-2012

As you already know or may have heard I've linked with one of the building blocks of 518 hip hop for a new EP. Sev on verses and yours truly on the cuts and production. Sev and myself go back to the early days of Cap City underground hip hop when he was with a group called Master Plan. PJ Katz was working with him on a few things and he introduced the two of us. We never really linked on anything, and crossed paths numerous times but continued to remain friends. Since then he's continued to stay on his grind releasing a string of great albums including, Stu Dent, Slow Burn, Back 2 Dust, Shotgun, and Sondial, just to name a few. I flipped a few remixes and songs in the past for Sev and they came together well. It was only a matter of time before the inevitable happened. Hence, this record. We wanted to put together a solid piece of classic material without all the hoopla and immaturity. We have a wonderful scene here that draws people from all walks of life to check us out and I've had various conversations during the sessions with Sev on how to help expand and build it more. That's what we've all been doing from the beginning, isn't it? We have all grown up, lived here and learned lessons from different situations and people we've come across over the years. Time is limited for some of us with lives and families outside of this music, but we make the time and still all strive to enhance our overall product. I'm speaking for everyone that I know in the 518 that is on the same page. The title and cover to Sinderblock is meant to symbolize a bond and link between artist, producer and talent. You can't just learn talent you have to be born with it. Obviously, you can't build an entire building with just one block, but that is where it always starts. The artwork was done by Michael Manasseh. The album is complete and set to drop 3.6.12 There will be also 2 videos coming soon. One of those videos will be the first release off the project called "right and exact". It will be available via various websites and blogs. This album will also be released on Itunes.

Here's an early remix I did for Sev's PCM edition of Slow Burn. The lyrics were ahead of their time then , and still are relevant today. This is just a preview and to remind you about how important it is to make tracks that are timeless.
