Click image to download full album Sounds like: Teebs, Samiyam, Madlib "Knxwledge - Beech" What's so good? Knxwledge is a regular here at Indie Shuffle. It seems like every other month he drops another spaced out, eccentrically quaint project that has us reaching for our neck brace. Out of nowhere, as usual, the meek laptop wizard gifts us Hexual.Sealings , a collection of re-interpreted [...]
Rap, mix, remix and reinstate faith into weary-hearted hip hop fans. Is there anything 7even:thirty cannot do? Hailing from the magical land of Jackson, Mississippi, 7even has been brewing up mind-melding mischief for his upcoming album, Heaven's Computer in Texas, where his EPs and mixes have been well-received. With the GREATSCOTT Remixes , 7even builds a technological fortress around the sultry vocals of Bilal's "Robots", replete with his own robo-rhymeskills. 7even's thoughtful bars mesh seamlessly with the message Bilal is trying to send. In a [...]
If there are two guys in this world that need to actually collaborate, they're 7even:Thirty and Bilal. They share a knack for otherwordly ideas and unparalleled creativity. 7even's creativity is on full display as he takes a Bilal acapella and constructs a futuristic landscape full of Tron references and his patented robotic delivery. I know there's some sort of other Bilal project floating around with rappers adding vocals to his music and, while 7even is cranking out his version independently, it would definitely be a prime addition to any Bilal remix [...]
Click image to download full album Sounds like: Bilal, Jimi Hendrix "Cody Chestnutt - Everybody's Brother" What's so good? Cody Chestnutt has the makings of a modern-day myth. He was part of a band called The Crosswalk that had a record deal in the 90s, but never materialized into a commercially released album. Then, years later, he barricaded himself in his bedroom and created the [...]
Click image to download track Sounds like: Muhsinah, Sa-Ra, Herbie Hancock "The Foreign Exchange - All The Kisses" What's so good? The Foreign Exchange's name is quite literal. Phonte, from North Carolina, and Nicolay, from Utrech, Netherlands, initially met on the message boards of OkayPlayer in the early 2000s. Without meeting each other physically, the duo crafted their first album by sending mp3s [...]

Daedalusel on tulekul EP remixidega lugudest tema albumilt Bespoke, esimesena välja Star Slinger. Daedalus will be back with EP with remixes from his Bespoke album tracks, first up is Star Slinger. Daedalus - Overwelmed feat. Bilal (Star Slinger Remix)
Oh my god, oh my god. I'm uber speechless right now. Just kidding -- but seriously. This just made my day. Plus, I think my iTunes is getting a little tired replaying every song from the Bon Iver cd. Star Slinger remixes one of my favorite tracks from one of my top 10 albums of 2011 (so far). Daedelus and Star Slinger? #smart. [...]
Steven Ellison says that he doesn’t really like SoundCloud . Fortunately for his fans, Ellison – aka Flying Lotus – couldn’t find a better place to stream samples of what he’s been up to as of late. A quick visit to his new account reveals that the 27-year-old Los Angeles-based producer has posted 12 tracks to the online audio distribution platform in the last 24 hours. The boys and girls at Self-Titled were first on the scene, and the new cuts will surely provide relief to the ears of those still remixing [...]
Flying Lotus just brought it to my attention on Twitter that he has started a Soundcloud page, consequently putting everyone else's to shame for at least the next month. He's uploaded some great remixes of Stereolab, Massive Attack, Bjork, and Bilal, which are all impressive in their own right, but he's also uploaded an unreleased track called "Tell Tales" and a couple re-works of classics like "Caravan of Delight". I'm already on my third listen of the Massive Attack remix, and it still amazes me how the sounds of Bristol and LA and can mesh together so perfectly. [...]
Am I the only one who thinks that a lot of people slept pretty hard on Bilal's Airtight's Revenge ? I know it received glowing reviews across the board, but I still feel like most of us forgot about it after a few months. Maybe I'm wrong, but either way, I'm really glad to see he's still out there pushing the record as much as possible. He stopped by BBC 1 to perform a live set that included "Levels", one of my favorite tracks off Airtight's Revenge . The thing is, he did it completely acoustic so you [...]
Bilal drops a new Remix EP for "Robots", included in the EP is the "Robots" Remy LBO Remix featuring Blu. iTunes: Bilal - Robots Remix EP
Raekwon - Footprints Of Osama Download audio file (07-Footprints-Of-Osama-Prod.- by-Scram-Jones-Snippet.mp3) And to think, The Chef made that Scram Jones-produced joint over 2 years ago whilst recording for OB4CL2 . That's just one of the gems on this month's Blind I Says GO!, which features 17 ill joints guaranteed to keep your mind busy. Musiq Soulchild, Lupe Fiasco, Curren$y, Tyler The Creator, Miguel, Elzhi, Raekwon, Self Scientific, Prodigy, The Strokes, Radiohead, DJ Quik, Raphael Saadiq, Ill Bill & Vinnie Paz, MED, Bilal, Blu , and Juicy J all [...]
Art work by Mear One Remember when hip hop was good? Oddisee is here to take you all back to the golden era. His classic status album Mental Liberation released in 2009 featured J-Live, Rapper Pooh, MED, LMNO, Prince Po, Dudley Perkins, Bilal and basically a bus load more of the sickest emcees to ever pick up a microphone. Now Oddisee is back to bring you bonus material AND the Mental Liberation album for free. Included bonus material consists of two instrumentals and a third track entitled Revival [...]
[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.] Please grant the Blind I team a late pass for posting this new video for "Little One." Autism is a cause the singer has helped spread awareness about, since his own son was diagnosed with the condition. The words to the song will nearly bring tears to your eyes. I really respect him for using his music as a platform for dialogue.
Cubic Zirconia are vocalist Tiombe Lockhart (who also directed the mix's vid) and sound makers Nick Hook and Daud Sturdivant. This is the remix. Cubic Zirconia - Night or Day (CZ Club Mix) (Feat. Bilal) Cubic Zirconia: ( Official ) ( Myspace ) Rating: 8.2
You know what really grinds my gears? …Having an event like Marathon Monday rather than...
Cubic Zirconia 's Night or Day Club Mix from their forthcoming album Follow Your Heart haunting, brilliant, APC TOP 10 for sure
Taken off their Follow Your Heart LP , NYC's Cubic Zirconia , teamed with Philly jazz/funk vocalist Bilal, give their 'Night or Day' single an equally impeccable video. Directed and edited by CZ diva Tiombe Lockhart.
One of the strongest songs on the Airtight's Revenge album, " Little One ", which afforded Bilal his first Grammy nomination for the said song, which is a tribute to his son, who is diagnosed with Autism - a developmental disorder that affects the brain and can make communicating and interacting with other people difficult. When one sings from the heart, the rewards can be nothing but great. A beautiful song that is rooted in pure love. Check it out below.
