Rihanna "Rude Boy (Emynd's 'Sun God' Blend)"

khaldub@gmail.com (khal) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 07:49:02 PDT

Rihanna "Rude Boy (Emynd's 'Sun God' Blend)": The one like @Emynd always flips some great blends, but I've not been keeping tabs on them for whatever reason. Glad I stumbled upon this one this morning. GREAT flip of Hi-Tek's "Sun God" with RiRi's latest; he even throws Baby Cham's "Rude Boy Pledge" verse on this for added flavor.

Milly July "Higher Groove"

khaldub@gmail.com (khal) — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:26:42 PDT

Milly July "Higher Groove": It's been damn near a year since I featured Milly on RTD, but in our effort to keep shit super eclectic, here's the lastest track of hers, taken from Welcome To The Soundcheck from the Mania Music Group. Very live feel to this one, sounds like Milly and whatever band she rocks with is right in my living room at RTDHQ. She's got a style that's all her own, and the fact that she can tow that line of ill lyrics and "I'mma do what the fuck I want" in her music is amazing. Very necessary in 2010. Be on the lookout for her next project!

Mozambique West Coast Coalition

khaldub@gmail.com (khal) — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:15:01 PDT

Here's an interesting compilation from Origimoz, AlJazz & Dareenzo. "This project was envisioned to pay tribute to the West Coast musical architects, the style, inspiration and also the musical movement in general. We are all producers of Mozambican heritage (hence the title) that decided to give their own interpretations on how the West Coast influences them musically." These are ill takes on that classic West Coast, G-Funk'd out ryda music. Pick this one up if you need something a lil' different to bump through your speaker box. Download link/stream/tracklist after the jump.

Stealth "The Jack Move (Neptunes Edition)"

khaldub@gmail.com (khal) — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 17:58:07 PDT

Stealth "The Jack Move (Neptunes Edition)": For #5 in his Jack Move series, Stealth capitalizes over a collection of Neptunes concoctions. I always forget about how much I like their music until I hear shit like this. Remember when they owned the radio? I'm kind of glad they don't anymore, but they were the ish when they did. Next up: RZA!

Good BIZ Principle & Interest

khaldub@gmail.com (khal) — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 15:52:22 PDT

Last Good BIZ track I hit you with was "Ya'll Can't Ball", off their Checks & Balances EP. That's been done for a bit, and during that time I'd be able to soak in their OTHER EP, Principle & Interest, which is produced entirely by The ARE, who has been putting in 'nuff work. Six tracks of neck-snappin' beats from ARE, as well as a gaggle of true school flavor on the mic. Features include YZ, Illmaculate, Cool Nutz, Al One, DJ Wicked & DJ DMP, and is highly recommended (tracks like "2 Steps Ahead" and "Just A Friend" have been on constant rotation). Don't say we didn't warn you!

GDBZ Music is on a roll, and their debut album, Sound Investment, will be out in the Summer of 2010. In the mean time, grab this EP, or take it back wand cop the Funk Family and Blaque Spurm re-releases, which GDBZ and Ambidextrous Music made available last year. And for fans of The ARE who are down at SXSW, he will be at the Beat Society show on March 20th (I believe Good BIZ's Bobbie Fine will be down there, too).

Not so. They link up with 2 Dope Boyz to drop Rockwell Knuckles' Choose Your Own Adventure, a mixtape full of fresh tracks and features from other members of The Force. No sleepin' on St. Louis - its a fuckload more than Nelly out there! Download/tracklist after the jump.
