I'm always skeptical of a rapper resorting to dubstep (especially since the genre makes my ears bleed), but I must say, Wildabeast kills it...and Joey Angerone provides perfect visuals. Shout out to Jelani for the heads up.
If you were smart, you rocked with the streamed StrandBeast session , which featured Wildabeast crafting the very EP that this post contains, like, today. Not soup to nuts, but Jelani had beats picked and Wil flipped his rhymes, right thurr. And it came out fucking sick. Shouts to Wil and Jel for allowing RTD to not only contribute some ideas to the EP's infancy, but allowing me to present this to you. The official time for completion: 7 hours, 50 minutes. Let me see [...]
![[stream] Wildabeast - Strandbeast EP](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4057273_lg.jpg)
Starting at 10AM, Wildabeast will be working on his Strandbeast EP with Jelani . Full stream after the jump, which will feature Wildabeast listening to beats, recording vocals and Jelani mixing/mastering the jawn. Hip-Hop to dubstep to whatever the fuck else works. I heard one of Jel's flips and I need this shit to be on it. Once I get the word that this EP has been mixed/mastered and is ready to go, I got you. Live [...]
This past February, Jelani planted himself firmly on our radar with " De La Vega ". And since then, the superbly skilled MC has steadily dropped new and increasingly dope tracks featuring equally fresh production from Durkin . But today, he's offering something a lil' different. "Growing Pains" actually stems from before Jelani had any beats from Durkin and from before he even recorded "De La Vega". As such, Jelani opted to flip one of his favorite instrumentals from back in the day and go all the way in over it. Stream the track [...]
The other day, Jelani and Wildabeast turned on the cameras and let the world see them record an EP, live . A few minutes ago, Jel sent over this seven-track opus, and goddamn, I love this kind of Internets output. Two talented individuals linking up and getting a project written, recorded, mixed and mastered, and eventually released later that week. For free. And it's fucking ill! First time in a minute I heard some new Wil , so I'm glad this came about. Fits the odd mood I'm in due to this rainy day. [...]
Jelani " The Extravaganza " (prod. by Durkin ):I don't know if you're aware, but Jelani cooks crillz to Durkin beats. For some reason, he had this one sitting in the stash for years(!) and went into a special rhyme - utilizing the "ex" prefix in words that really stressed that "ex", into, well, "The Extravaganza". The beat feels red carpet ready, and Jelani works his theme well into the track. Something that would blow by you if you didn't know/weren't ready for it. Love when cats play with the words - shouts to J-Live .
I think it's safe to say at this point whenever you see Jelani release a song with production from Durkin, you should pay attention. From the get-go "The Extravaganza" grabs you by the neck and doesn't let you go. It's an all out lyrical assault from the Harlem wordsmith with head nodding horns and drums to back it all up. On the hook Jelani pronounces "World renowned for best kept secret, one of a kind so you gotta see it to believe it." If you've heard his previous work this year you know how true this is; if [...]
![Jelani – The Extravaganza (Prod. Durkin) [Audio]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3613291_lg.jpg)
Jelani just dropped this Durkin-produced track last night. Dope song... ...he likes Duke though... "Had this beat for a while (read: years), and I finally dug it out and used it as Canvas for something that I'd wanted to do for a very long time: put on a lyrical show that makes use of the English language in a way that's never been done before in Hip Hop, yet somehow not have it be a really "Rappity Rap" and "Super Backpack" type of track. [...]
Jelani " Say What?!!?! " (prod. by Durkin ): Durkin is incredible – he made a track say "what" that makes the Hip-Hop heads say "what?!!?!!" – and you wanna say this isn't an artform? Jelani must've been on the same shit, and took to this track like a kid to candy. Had to have it, and just dumbed out. No word on shit else – but these two might be the underrated duo of 2011. You knew that though, right?
Jelani " Race Matters " (prod. by Durkin ): Taking the lead from the Race Matters book from Dr. Cornel West , Jelani speaks on a number of issues affecting the Black race right now, from Fox News to racial profiling. Oddly enough, a nigga at my job had made mention of Willie Lynch, and that Talib Kweli line hit me in the head. I spent an hour at work being mystified at word that the "Willie Lynch speech" wasn't real , or can't be confirmed as legit. Oddly enough, while I [...]
Jelani " Away We Go " (prod. by Durkin ): I'm fucking anti-social. I'm cool in certain situations, but I'm forever feeling like the oddball/oddman out, especially when you get into spots where your bullshit sense starts tingling. Pause? Anyways, I've personally found that, once my personal business is complete, it's easy to just dip, and Jelani composes a track that has perfectly painted that side of me to a "T". He brings this idea to a head in three different situations: trying to reconcile a relationship with his Pops, Dapper Dan (yes, [...]
Jelani " Japanese Architecture " (prod. by Durkin ): I've got a feeling Durk and Jelani will be putting out a mixtape or some shit. Jelani didn't give much info on this track, aside from one word: bars . He has a lot of 'em. He pops like magnums, while you pussies are mad dumb. He's an arms reach, a short two-step and a long leap from being where he could be. Or is it should be? I don't know, that mid-tempo lazy horn bop Durkin has me senseless. Great, laidback sneak attack shit.
"...if this type of thing gets out to the public ... it could be extraordinary!" Jelani - Japanese Architecture (Prod. Durkin) If you've been paying attention to The Cruise (and if you haven't, shame on you), then you've probably already heard Harlem MC Jelani and thus won't need me to explain to you how dope he is. But for those who haven't caught on yet, Jelani is a rapper in the 90s sense of the word, the kind that relies on verses [...]
Led Zeppelin - The Rain Song & Try to image a world were everything went exactly according to plan. Neither can I.

Husky ft. K-SISE & Jelani " Play It Cool ": Recently, Husky dropped his latest album, The Punisher , which features this throwback jam with K-SISE & the nigga Jelani.

Instead of rocking this late(r) at night, they decided to turn on the camera and let the music get created in the afternoon. Now, all of the beats have been sorted out beforehand, so Will will be hearing these upon arrival and writing/recording to them on the spot.

Potholes In My BlogHappy Friday, y'all. Time to celebrate the incoming weekend with another dope-as-hell joint from the Harlem-Boston connection of Jelani and Durkin. And unlike the more concept-heavy joint they released a few weeks back, "Say What!!!" is straight-ahead, neck-breaking party hip-hop. Jelani shows of his skills as a true MC, movin' the crowd over Durkin's bangin' blend of brass and breaks. Get FUNKY. You can stream the track below and hit the skip to download.

Jelani – "Race Matters" P. Durkin
Jun 24, 2011, 11:15am Potholes In My Blog
Potholes In My BlogHow many ridiculously solid tracks are Jelani and Durkin going to release before they announce a proper album or mixtape already? Seriously. I can't silence my music nerd ramblings anymore. This stuff is just too good not to end up on a final project, especially this latest cut, "Race Matters". In Jelani's words, he touches on a slew of topics on here, from self-hate to Fox News to colorism (light skin vs dark skin), to the relationship between African-Americans and first-generation immigrants from Africa. It's heavy, but Jelani handles it with care and skill while rocking over a dubby, uptempo [...]
