ARAABMUZIK x ALCHEMIST

You'd think the logical step for rappers to take now
after burning out the Lex Luger productions would be
to hit up araabMUZIK... What's the hold up, guys?

"Araab killed it so much it bought a tear to alchemist's eye @ 4.02"

Yup.

KEYBOARD KID

There are a lot of songs on this tape,
and frankly, I deleted half of them.
---
But the keepers that are on this album make it well worth
sifting through it, which didn't even take that long.
You usually know if a track is for you within 5 seconds.
---
If you didn't know, Keyboard Kid is responsible for producing a few Lil B classics.
Thank him and Clams Casino for what we now know as the #based sound.
---
For fans of Jonwayne and others on that 8-bit homage steez.
Guess we can start calling this a 'chip-hop' movement or something.

PARIAH CAREY - HAOKAH

This ain't no sweet, sweet fantasy, baby.

---

If you like steampunk movies, tension, and the thought of streetlights

turning off as you're walking home, Pariah just might be your dude.

---

Take a listen here, and if you like, pre-order the new cassette right here.

It's being released on June 14 through Deathbomb Arc.

Swag them the fuck out.

---

My blog doesn't like me embedding bandcamp right now.

So if you're one of those people who only reads

the first and last lines: listen here, order here.

THE BROTHERHOOD

Monday

NEPTUNES

Great documentary of early Neptunes/N*E*R*D. Man, I love studio footage.

Stick around for the Clipse giving their runthrough of "Pussy" at a shooting range.

MR. MUTHAFUCKIN' EXQUIRE

Mr. MFN ain't really doing anything for the image of black America,
but that's not his job. His job is to make dope fucking Saturday night music.
---
Job well done, sir.

KUXXAN SUUM x END FENCE

End Fence hit me up, and I'm liking both their plans as a net label and their music.
---
"We'll be giving away all of our release for free; the second, Language/Barrier by kuxxan SUUM,
was released a week ago. Remixes by Kelpe [Black Acre], Dead Geoff [Purple bird],
DJ Nita, Awning and De Qualia."
---
"The album spans a large spectrum from MPC-style wonky-samplism, glitch-hop,
UK Funky, dubstep, minimal drum n bass and completely unclassifiable."
---
Check out/download kuxxan SUUM's album right here, take a listen to a favorite below.

TRAE THA TRUTH

Dank as always. Fuck Jordan Towers though.

Wednesday

ZEKE62

I came across Zeke's youtube page via Noz's mention on a recent Fader post.

This is a fucking vault of beautiful moments in rap - the classic stuff from my generation.

---

Ludacris' introduction to "What's Your Fantasy" had me flipping out a little bit.

You really recognize Timbaland's importance from these videos.

Tuesday

BEAUTIFUL LOU x SHADY BLAZE

Lou smokes a lot of weed, premieres a new track with Shady spitting at maximum velocity.
"Green ova, what up"
---

SIMO x MOOD SCHULA

Strangest group of kids to be shouting "hip, hop! hip, hop!"
but you can't deny the slap of this production...
---

Monday

Squadda and Mondre are next up. Here's a pretty entertaining video of the guys,
