For once, I don't have much of a blurb to say before talking about the music. I'm not sure if thats a good thing, but here goes. Incise is a Toronto based producer/DJ in his early twenties who has been flying under the radar for quite a while now. He's released several LPs through GoonTrax Japan, but hasn't made such a splash in the North American continent. It wasn't until recently that I started realizing how many great producers have been releasing to the JP audience first/solely, and it has greatly broadened my horizons. With that [...]

![[Mixtape] It's A Rap Presents: Summer Daze](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2898762_lg.jpg)
It's finally here once again. I figured this was a good time. I turn 21 today and tomorrow is the 2 year anniversary of It's A Rap so it is only right to give you guys Summer Daze on this weekend. I embarked on my first blog mixtape with On Deck and I have to admit I did not know all the ins and outs and I still kind of don't but I am getting a hold of it. I have to say I don't want to do this again for a while because it takes up [...]

"Not At The End" (ft. Tunji) - Kno (of CunninLynguists) Producer/emcee Kno has come out with another wonderful track. This right here is the reason I love hip hop. So many people think of hip hop as just being banging beats and people talking or screaming on top of it. But this is the good stuff. Piano, singing, thoughtful lyrics. I just hope this type of good stuff keeps coming. Let's talk a moment for the lost souls / If life's a road [...]

![FAT BEATS IN-STORE PERFORMANCE SCHEDULES [LA]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2826574_lg.jpg)
So you already know the deal & how we feel about the whole departure of the Fat Beats stores . Sucks. But not really cuz they still are going to be doing big thangs in various formats, so I guess it's cool & growth & all that other jazz. Anyways, the NYC farewell jump off was filled to the brim of dope artists who had made Fat Beat NYC their home so it is only fitting that they mirror the same for the LA farewell & as you can see to the right (click pic to enlarge), that they [...]
Kno makes some of the chillest beats and the CunninLynguists are a seriously underrated group that even I need to listen to more.
