Mix Tape: Slum Village & Mick Boogie - 'The Dirty Slums'

Mar 27, 2012, 4:38pm A Grumpy Old Man With A Beard

A new mix tape from Slum Village? How can this be? With the majority of the line up having either departed this earth too soon ( J-Dilla , Baatin ), or walking out the door due to various management issues ( Elzhi ), it seemed that 2010's Villa:Manifesto might be the last we hear from SV. But T3 and J-Dilla's younger sibling are still around and about and flying the flag, and have linked with Mick Boogie for a new mix tape, The Dirty Slums . Modern technology/where there's [...]

Mix Tapes: Robert Glasper - 'Bootleg Radio - The Robert Glasper Experiment Live'

Mar 12, 2012, 3:17pm A Grumpy Old Man With A Beard

When it rains, it pours. For weeks - sometimes months - I go through mix tape droughts, and then all of a sudden I'm surrounded in quality download material that cripples my internet download speed to Stephen Fry tantrum-inducing levels . Following on from the blinding Kenny Dope Hip Hop & Funk 45s mix from a couple of days back, and the Big K.R.I.T jammy from the day before that, is another beauty from NYC jazz man Robert Glasper (who you might remember from last month's [...]

Video: Phonte, “The Good Fight”

Feb 14, 2012, 8:35pm Mind Inversion

I totally forgot that this video got released last week, and frankly I'm baffled it slipped my mind because I love Phonte. "The Good Fight" is a smooth soulful jam produced by 9th Wonder that was featured on Phonte's spectacular debut solo album Charity Starts at Home . I've been a huge fan of Phontigga ever since the days of Little Brother (sheds a tear), and Charity Starts at Home is exactly what Phonte's fans had been waiting for: a debut album showcasing Phonte's ability to seamlessly rhyme and sing at the same [...]
