Many thanks to Miz for catching my attention with this one. It's not strictly underground hip hop. What it is, is Neneh Cherry (daughter of Jazz Musician, Don Cherry and sister of Eagle Eye Cherry) covering an underground hip hop anthem. She has taken on the Madvillain classic 'Accordion' and has definitely given it a

Neneh Cherry is back with a new band Neneh Cherry & The Thing many brilliant covers are on their superb collaborative album, The Cherry Thing out 18th June on Smalltown Supersound Suicide's Dream Baby Dream is above the Madvillian/MF Doom track Accordion is bellow
With her 1989 album Raw Like Sushi , singer/rapper Neneh Cherry pretty much defined a very particular cosmopolitan gum-snap idea of cool that made a huge impression on nine-year-old me, and it's hard to imagine, say, M.I.A. existing without the precedent that Cherry set. Cherry's been on the inactive list for a while, but she recently linked with Scandinavian jazz combo the Thing to record an album of covers called The Cherry Thing . We've already posted their version of Suicide's " Dream Baby Dream ." And now there's a video for their cover of Madvillain's " Accordion [...]

Here's a Madlib remix to "Fancy Clowns" off Madvillainy 2: The Madlib Remix (2008), titled "Running Around With Another". Store: Madvillainy 2: The Madlib Remix Madvillainy 2: The Madlib Remix was originally released in CD form in Madvillainy 2: The Box (2008) and released only with the box set. White labels of the vinyl have been kicking around for a while, but we finally decided to get it done right. Some might say its sacrilege to revisit an album like Madvillainy, [...]
Daniel Dumile aka MF DOOM is back! He dropped the 'MF' and joined forces with Jneiro Jarel to release a new album named 'KEY TO THE KUFFS' on Lex Records. I love the first track 'Banished' which you can stream below and I'm excited to hear the whole album as I'm a huge fan of [...]

The odds of Madlib, Doom and Jadakiss getting into the booth together at the same time are about the same as entering a telephone booth that time travels (word to William S. Preston). The Beat Konducta has been even more quiet than usual of late, so it's nice to see him back and blunted. "Doom Vs. Jadakiss" proves without a shadow of doubt that the Wu Block album should be produced by Otis Jackson Jr. It also proves that someone needs to come up with more creative song titles. Madlib Remix: Doom vs [...]
Hyphy Disco. What more do you need to know?

Holy shit. Got to work, checked our incoming feed, and this EP literally reached out from my computer monitor and slapped me across the face. I mean legit, I never knew my desktop could cause physical harm without provocation but hell, that shit just happened. And if that's what happened at work, god knows what these disastrous tracks could do in a club. A two track extended play with a super hero team of remixers, today US production duo Geisha Twins released Dolla Dolla $$ , an aggressively funky record with a motive to make [...]

There are the essential albums that need to be in everyone's collection. There are the personal favorites, the ones that aren't highly acclaimed but still get played every once in a while. And then there are the albums that you stick in the back of your collection because you want to forget that you spent money on them. "Own It or Disown It" gives the writer the opportunity to look at such discarded albums and determine if they are diamonds in the rough or if they deserve to be used as mini-frisbees. [...]
Kidrobot London shows off the highly sought after and long sold-out MADVILLAIN . A Stone Throw and Kid Robot collaboration from 2007, it's surprising there's any of this rare piece left! KRLDN has said they have one, although I doubt it's still there, it's probably sitting on Jenai's window seal as we type this ! It stands at 10 inches tall and is a great addition to any vinyl toy collection .
Click image to download full album Sounds like: J Dilla, Madlib, DJ Premier "MF DOOM - Vinca Rosea" What's so good? MF Doom's Special Herbs series is one of hip hop's longest running instrumental series. However, despite having released numerous volumes, Doom is largely respected for his actual emceeing rather than being held in similar regard to peers such as Madlib or J Dilla. Personally, I find MF Doom's productions a [...]

In case you haven't been keeping a close eye on Bad Bad Not Good , here is another opportunity to check out what this maddening trio is up to. The jazz improv group has selectively covered the dopest hip hop artists from Tyler the Creator (whom they actually jammed with not too long ago ) to J. Dilla . Today they released a curated set of songs by DOOM , Madvillain , and King Geedorah . Click here to view the embedded [...]
Недавно мы рассказывали о Денисе Давыдове из Череповца, который собрал свои впечатления за год в мощную кассету « Two Shadows ». Редакция Big Echo заподозрила в Valotihkuu своего человека и не вот результат – в гостевом миксе всё именно так, как мы любим: львиная порция чиллвейва, MF DOOM, старый джаз и прочий правильный хип-хоп. В итоге получается отличная штука для домашнего прослушивания и, если бы было потеплее, можно было бы взять этот микс с собой на пикник или, по крайней мере, включить его на весь двор. Надеюсь, они в Череповце так и делают, а нам пока остаётся только завидовать и [...]

Set to deep words from J Dilla, No Games remixes in a conversation about originality in music production to the sick sample choice (Luther Ingram's "To the Other Man"). The song, [...]

Click image to download the podcast Sounds like: Tracks from Indie Shuffle "Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Ain't No Sunshine" What's so good? My friend Ed, from the excellent Mud Hut music distribution service has recently been putting together a series of podcasts. This week, he asked me to curate on behalf of the good folks here at Indie Shuffle! Needless to [...]
They say patience is a virtue, but I'm tired of waiting! Today's Friday Five features five artists who have kept their fans waiting for their next album. Maybe absence makes the heart grow fonder. But the absence of these guys from our lives is putting them in perilous danger of slipping off the radar, and in some cases, it's only the sheer brilliance of their past work that's kept us interested. So here's a refresher to keep the appetites whetted, and hopefully to act as a wake0up call to those guilty: we love your music, share [...]
