Artist: Toki Wright

This remix of B. Dolan's "Leaving New York" is the 1st peek of an album-length remix project that Buddy Peace did of Dolan's "Fallen House, Sunken City" LP from 2010. In this song, Buddy lifts the original story of exodus and gives it a sweltering desert backdrop via some obscure psych-rock records. The nasty scratch outro serves as a clear warning: Strange Famous is out for blood this year. This Spring feels especially notable for London's Buddy Peace though, as it looks like the shadowy button-pusher and his endless crates are gearing up for an impressive release schedule. [...]

The apocalypse is coming and if there is one new album you need to hear before this Friday it's UP ROCK's debut EP.  A Twin Cities hip-hop duo with roots dating back to the early nineties with The Abstract Pack , Digie and Dundee  created UP ROCK with the hopes to get away from the mainstream sounds that have taken over the radio waves in the past decade.  Instead, look for music to dance to built on a foundation of eighties influences and b-boy styles that are essentially absent from popular hip-hop today.  The EP [...]

If you've been following Big Jess on Twitter over the past several months, you should be aware by now that he's been actively working on a compilation project featuring tons of local artists. The concept seemed simple enough. Jess produces a bunch of original beats, and gets his friends to hop on and do their thing. I'm not sure if there's much more to it than that, but looking at the roster on the album, I'm excited to give it a few spins. For those of you who are still curious, I included the tracklist after the jump. You can [...]
