Rudimental - “Spoons” Ft. MNEK & Syron
Pro Era - “School High”
This beat is just too nice.
Ghostpoet - “Dialtones”
Mercury nominated artist Ghostpoet dropped his new album today. This track immediately stuck out to me upon scanning thru it. The vibe of this tune is what I would imagine being in a “K-hole” is like.
Music Video Premiere
Ben Diamond - “Someday”
This kid is gonna be the first to really put UK hip hop on the map. His voice has an elegance that I’ve never heard before in hip hop. Video is dope as well.
Mink DeVille - “Spanish Stroll” (Live 1977)
Singer, songwriter, junkie, LEGEND. Mink Deville is one of the most slept on musicians of the past 50 years. His first album “Cabretta” is a bonafide classic to those in the know.
Ben Diamond - The Making of The Diamond LP
Short documentary on the making of “The Diamond LP” which is available for free download here.
Derrick Laro & Trinity - “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough”
Amazing reggae cover of Michael Jackson’s “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough.” Shout out to Chipotle’s musical programmer for putting me on to this.
Unreleased..
Jay-Z Ft. Timbaland - “Get My Shit Off”
This was apparently scrapped from “The Blueprint 2” album. It’s got that classic Timbaland bounce and hints of synths that were used on early Aaliyah tracks.
Today marks a tragic loss in the music world. Legendary musician Don Blackman lost his battle with cancer today. His song “Holding You, Loving You” is not just a classic, but also defines the sound of classic east coast hip hop. He has been sampled by Jay-Z, L The Head Toucha, and many others. This song is an absolute must download.
Colleen Green - “Time In The World”
From her new album “Sock It To Me.” Colleen Green is crushing it with her signature gritty guitar tones and stripped down programmed drums. I highly recommend checking out this album in it’s entirety.
