A couple of weeks ago some of Oddisee’s friends decided to test his forthcoming album “People Hear What They See” on some random people on the streets of DC and London as an experiment… without telling him. These were the results.
Pre-Order: Oddisee – People Hear What They See
iTunes: 2012 – 1982
2012 was a crazy year… and album, that’s how hip-hop heads worldwide will remember it. Following in the footsteps of great DJ/Producer and MC duos like Eric B. & Rakim and GangStarr, Statik Selektah & Termanology once again combine to form the powerhouse group 1982. The formula is perfected and flawless as Statik crafts the perfect sonic landscapes for Term’s more mature and sophisticated delivery – see the uplifting first single “Shining.”
Holding Term down on the microphone side of things are great guest spots from some of the hottest new talent in the game; Mac Miller, Roc Marciano and Freddie Gibbs blend nicely with iconoclasts Bun B., Havoc of Mobb Deep and Lil Fame of M.O.P and Shawn Stockman from Boyz 2 Men. 2012 has already garnered high praise as this month’s Source Magazine has given the full length it’s coveted “Independent’s Day” column and XXL has a great review ready for it’s May 22nd issue. The duo will also hit the road in both the states and abroad, April – July for full tour support of the album. 2012 will indeed be the year of 1982.

The timeless battle between good and evil is a story that has been told countless times and evoked through song since the beginning of recorded music. But the story rarely takes place within the realm of one man’s mind, and when it is, the line is drawn in an exaggerated way, resulting in unrealistic and unrelated characters.
Doxside Music Group producer IMAKEMADBEATS has broken the mold with his conceptual dual-EP project, Daylight/Nightlight. Featuring emcees Butta Verses and MidaZ the Beast respectively, the two pieces wholly represent the goodness of humanity and the darkest corners of man’s soul.
Daylight finds Butta Verses (best known for his collaborative work with hip hop legends De La Soul) introspectively addressing the positive changes he knows he must make in his life, all while backed by IMAKEMADBEATS’ emotionally charged and soulful production.
Nightlight flips the direction of its companion piece, and allows Doxside Music Group rapper MidaZ the Beast to do what he does best – slay hard-hitting tracks with a ferocity that has earned him a reputation amongst hip hop’s lyrical elite. From alcoholism to themes of betrayal to hurling threats towards faulty show promoters, Nightlight is a visceral assault on listeners’ eardrums that still maintains a thump sure to maintain head nods and neck snaps.
Download: Bilal “Cake & Eat It Too (Teeko Re-Funk)”
After a brief hiatus, FRSH SLCTS is officially back at it today –
& this time w/ an exclusive premiere of a lost remix that Bay Area multi-funkstramentalist, Teeko
did last year for the most recent Bilal album.At the time, Plug Research were compiling a remix album for the Airtight’s Revenge LP,
& had reached out to Teeko to add his twist to the album’s opener, “Cake & Eat It Too.”
Teeko obliged, & quite frankly – smashed it w/ his slumpish, crescendoing “Re-Funk” of the track.Plug Researched ended up scrapping the plans for the remix album altogether,
but still urged Teeko to release his remix on his own, noting that it was one of their favorite tracks turned in for the project -
so today, we do just that.On the brink of new releases w/ two of his groups,
both the synth-funk collective Starship Connection w/ co-captain B. Bravo,
& the rotating assembly jam band, MUGPUSH –
Teeko wanted to let this one go today as a pre-cursor of what’s to come this summer & beyond.
