Do you like Dilla? Do you like Nas? Well then do I have something for you. Thanks to Squeek Boogie, of the Bumsquad DJ’z,  now you can both all together in one 16 track mixtape. I’m not the biggest J. Dilla fan. But before you all throw a flaming pitchfork at me, it’s because I am not very familiar with him. I have his beats on my Mac (shout out to Steve Jobs) but haven’t gotten around to listening to all of them yet. So for someone like me, or someone who has never heard of Dilla, this mixtape may just what the doctor ordered. Aside from smoking plenty of medical marijuana.

All the west coast homies will probably enjoy the first track “Nas is Like”, I know I’mma be bumping this in the whip on Sunday. “Thief’s Theme” is another banger. And “Streets of New York” rounds out my Top 3, as this track is over the “House of Flying Daggers” beat which may be my favorite beat of 2009.

I hope you guys enjoy. Peace.

This mix by Gas Lamp Killer titled “The Kutmah”, is unorthodox, eclectic fuckury. Bass heavy beats of electronic drum & bass errupt throughout the mix, discovering some raw beats along the way.

Update: 1/28/10 4:oopm PST - Word is this is a fake. You can’t say I didn’t write about my suspicions, nothing has been confirmed either way, you can’t blame people for jumping on it - email came straight from promo@edbangerrecords.com and the supplied graphic was sharp!

I was just asking myself when I’d hear some new original tunes from the french duo who catapulted ahead of the late 00’s electro-dance scene. Well I just got an eery one-line email from Ed Banger:

“Feel free to share it or talk about it”

One sentence of curt self-confidence that only a conquering French record label can summon! Of course they know we’re going to do both… Beginning of the End has that signature creepy yet melodramatic crunch to it. Sounds like the start to a pretty epic follow-up. If your looking for a new revolutionary sound, your not going to get it here. However there were enough good tunes and visuals off that first record, that I don’t mind listening to a bit more of it.

So what I assumed was going to be a routine Mos Def tour date through Los Angeles has just turned into L.A.’s show stopper on Thursday night with the addition Hip Hop’s most anticipated and critically acclaimed emerging act Jay Electronica. At $30 presale via IllRoots - This is a show you can’t go wrong with, get them tickets while you can.

Jay Electronica - Exhibit C

I’m a sucker for damn good MPC routines. Objektiv One hits the pads flipping a simple vocal sample into super smooth beat dubbed “Everywhere A Million”  - listen to them drums!

Time to get your party on this Saturday with some classic Hip Hop and funky Soul in San Diego. The Dojo Soundz crew will be gathering to celebrate the birthday of Rock Steady Crew’s Charlie Rock at Bar Pink. It’s  sure to be night of good music and good times. Don’t miss out.
