If you're a fan of BBG you're probably hanging on every one of these unreleased little projects; I know I am. Any random mp3 that should happen to surface, I wanna know about that shit. After these, you'll have to settle for something like spoken word, if you wanna hear Gandhi behind a mic. Good news is Gandhi will still be around as a producer. I am currently in the process of a super-long interview... drop a line if you've got a question for him. In the meantime, grab these tracks up, you should really toss the kid [...]
Belfast producer Jack Hamill aka Space Dimension Controller released one of my favourite albums of the year in the shape of Welcome to Mikrosektor-50, a crazy comic book-style concept album that is hilarious, engrossing and accomplished. Its artwork points to how amazing the album actually is. This morning Hamill uploaded [Read more]

DEEP MEDi is proud to announce Swindle’s longplayer Long Live The Jazz. “This project has consumed my whole life over the last year and half and I'm over the moon to finally be able to share it! Deep Medi, Butterz #LongLiveTheJazz" The album delves into the increasingly blurred sounds of grime, dubstep, and bass music alongside musical influences from artists such as George Clinton, Parliament Funkadelic and Roy Ayers. Purple synths, colourful vocoder work (think Joker and Redinho) and growling basslines litter the album, with guest spots and [...]
Sander van Doorn has been keeping busy lately. With both the legendary collaboration alongside Mark Knight and Underworld and recent track with DubVision and Mako under his belt, Doorn could seemingly do anything at this point. His next move appears to be a solo output tentatively labeled "Neon Project," which he recently uploaded to SoundCloud and is being particularly quiet about. Fusing catchy string work and whistling synths into a momentous progression, Doorn's newest project takes an absorbing instrumental approach that will undoubtedly leave fans harkening for more. [...]
I can't tell you how happy I am to have this joint So Soft. Nafis used to have it on his tumblr, I had it bookmarked n everything. It's such a big jam, like most of the cuts on this unreleased tape. What's good though? Toss the Big Baby a couple bucks so he can get his Debut album mix n mastered.
Fresh off the release of his visual for the hit single "Power Trip," featuring Miguel , North Carolina native J. Cole leaks a previously unreleased track today. The single titled "Maine on Fire" is a hard-hitting, self-produced track that has the Roc Nation rapper spitting some witty lyrics over an old school beat. Lately, Cole has been on his grind preparing for the release of his sophomore LP, Born Sinner , dropping June 25th, but fans of this nostalgic track can find it on Funk Master Flex' s mixtape, Who You Mad At? Me or [...]
Let's hop in the time machine and go back to the days when Kendrick Lamar was once known to the world as K-Dot. A young, 16-year-old kid from Compton, struggling for a shot to show what the world what he's made of, unknowing of the success that's awaiting for him in the near future. Sporting a much different sound, vibe, manner, and fashion style, Kendrick was trying to find his own path while developing his own look in a pool full of wanna-be-rappers. During this time K-Dot recorded his first ever mixtape titled Youngest Head Nigga In [...]
Yasiin Bey drops this unreleased banger from the days as the mighty Mos Def . This track is said to have been created during the “True Magic” recording sessions. The Kanye West produced cut would have been a welcomed addition, had it been included on the actual “True Magic” album Yasiin Bey – “The Light Is Not Afraid Of The Dark” (prod. Kanye West)
Yasiin Bey aka Mos Def gives his fans an unreleased joint called 'The Light Is Not Afraid of The Dark'. He recently performed this Kanye-produced cut at his show in Chicago. Check it out down below and look out for his collaborative project with Mannie Fresh coming soon.
I guess Smiths drummer Mike Joyce was right all those years ago when he said that there was loads of unreleased Smiths material. Granted - there's nothing new here... just alternate versions. I have to admit I like this version of "Accept Yourself" over the one we've heard for so many years. Here is a 39 min. cassette recording from around 1983. Not bad for a cassette recording. The tracklisting is as follows: 'You've Got Everything Now' 'Accept Yourself' 'What Difference Does It Make?' 'Reel Around The Fountain' 'These [...]
![[Unreleased] Kendrick Lamar: “Track 1 (Hova Song)” Freestyle](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4815062_lg.jpg)
Before the days of Overly Dedicated the then 16-year old Compton emcee recorded a mixtape titled, Hub City Threat, Minor of The Year. One of the tracks off the mixtape saw K. Dot rapping on Jay-Z's "Track 1 (Hova Song)" from Jay's Vol. 3 The Life and Times of S. Carter . This is history, literally. Much of the Hub City project is unheard, but maybe that will get leaked soon. kendrick lamar - hova intro.mp3
![[Unreleased] Kanye West – Hold On (Remix) (Feat. Consequence)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4813618_lg.jpg)
J. Period recently got the go ahead from Kanye West himself to compile a mixtape full of remixes of G.O.O.D. Music classics and unreleased material, appropriately titled G.O.O.D. Music Remixed & Unreleased . One of those previously locked up tracks to surface is this one right here. Judging by the flow, "Hold On" seems to be a holdover from The College Dropout/Late Registration era of Ye's career. The short but sweet number features Yeezy and former affiliate Consequence trading bars over a simple, but effective piano-laden beat. The track serves as a reminder of [...]
All aspects of Lady Gaga 's debut perfume, Fame, were created to examine the dual nature of celebrity. (This includes its coloring, which an ad described as "black like the soul of fame but invisible once airborne.") However, according to a just-leaked clip, "Fame: The Massacre," the pop sensation could have taken an even darker turn to market her signature fragrance. "Luxury propels vanity to dangerous places," the clip's caption reads, before Lady Gaga appears with a gun and fires directly at a crowd of masked minions. The pop star herself has yet to comment [...]

It's a Valentine's Day miracle! Marina and the Diamonds just dropped an unreleased track from her Electra Heart sessions and it's a doozy: A track called "E.V.O.L.," issued to mark Electra Heart's "birthday" (not sure what that means, since the album came out in April of last year, but we're not going to argue) and also this holiest of holidays, which — in typically acerbic Marina form — she lacerates mercilessly. Produced by Liam Howe , "E.V.O.L." sees Marina wielding darkly cynical lines — "It only takes two lonely [...]
The late J Dilla is back again, after a series of posthumous releases , with The Diary, a full-length vocal album Dilla completed in the early 20002s. Pitchfork reports that LP will feature Dilla rapping over beats from Madlib, Pete Rock, Nottz, House Shoes, Karriem Riggins, and more, but the single from the album, "Anthem" b/w "Trucks, features Dilla rapping over Dilla. Stream the A-side "Anthem" below. According to a press release, multi-track masters of both tracks were found on two-inch tape just after Dilla's died of a rare blood disease in 2006. The [...]
![[NEW] M.I.A. – Doobie](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4759348_lg.jpg)
Taking the web this past week for the nostalgic #Throwback Thursdays, mega-producer Danja leaked a new track from M.I.A . via Youtube titled "Doobie". The previously unreleased track, recorded during "Bad Girls", is a fast-paced synth heavy dance track dedicated to that little plant known for placing people on cloud 9. It is not clear whether this track will be on M.I.A's upcoming project Matangi , whose release was pushed back for being "too positive", but this short and infectious track is definitely a banger. Be sure to check it out below.
It's quite evident that Pryda-protégé Fehrplay is gearing up for a big year. After the successful release of "I Can't Stop It," the Norwegian-born producer is already teasing his next big release. Premiered yesterday on Fehrplay's guest mix for Above & Beyond's Group Therapy 011 , "Phantom" is a charming progressive house production more than a year in the making. Raining chord stabs are immediately reminiscent of Pryda, as the masterful Swede's influence is present throughout the production. "Phantom" has potential to be Fehrplay's best work yet, but we'll wait for the final, mastered version to make that call. No [...]
It's a good day when the first thing to come across the web is a twenty-five minute mix of unreleased Thom Yorke material. The frontman for Radiohead and now Atoms for Peace popped into the studio with bandmate and longtime Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich and emerged with this immediately engaging collage of unfinished and remixed tracks for Dazed Digital . TRACKLIST: Thom Yorke: cycles mk 3 Atoms for Peace: you wouldn't like me when i'm angry unfinished [...]
