Homeboy Sandman leaks a new single “Dag, Philly Too,” off the Kool Herc: Fertile Crescent.

8-track release produced entirely by El RTNC (aka Rthentic). The record is an unapologetic homage to old school hip-hop in its bare-bones production, lyrical themes, cover art and even the title. With the blessing of DJ Kool Herc, one of the originators of hip-hop, Sandman pays respect to the pioneering DJ by proudly naming the release in his honor.

The latest of Sandman’s traditional “OUT NOW” tracks – this one is for his latest release, titled “Kool Herc: Fertile Crescent”, an 8-track record paying homage to the birth of hip-hop. Produced by Alex ‘Apex’ Gale.

The long awaited anticipation of Otisis the EP “A-Side” is over. It’s here finally! Usually the A-Side of vinyl and cassette tapes contained all the songs of the EP or Maxi Single and the B-Side would contain the instrumentals. Well, Jinesis & TMB brought you The Otisis Instrumental project last year. Presupposing that project was the “B-Side”, this time they bring you 8 tracks of Otis Redding Sampled beats by Jinesis with some of hip-hops best indie emcees along for the ride as the “A-side”. No tape deck needed, just download, press play and nod ya head.

Silent Knight – Busy Is My Best Friend II [album stream]

11 04 2013

silentKnightBIMBF

Silent Knight burst onto the Hip-Hop scene during the resurgence of Rawkus Records in mid-to-late 2000’s. His electric stage presence and poignant lyrical abilities caught the attention of the label executives and was given the opportunity to release his debut LP, Hunger Strike, as part of their Rawkus 50 campaign alongside other up and coming artists at the time like Kaimbr, Hassaan Mackey, Finale and 6th Sense. Parlaying the success from his debut, SK was able to land at the doorstep of another former powerhouse, Loud/SRC and release the Jake One produced single, “Pop Culture Shock”.

After spending the next few years on the road touring and working on new material, SK released the critically praised 2011 LP, Busy Is My Best Friend. The album’s title became a personal mantra for Knight, fueling the success of the Audible Doctor produced single “Stayin’ Busy”.

While SK’s new album bears a similar title to his last, Busy Is My Best Friend II is a transitional album. “BIMBF II is me getting it out of my system,” he says. “The time period of working non-stop, moving non-stop, being exhausted mentally and physically has finally passed. I’m still working hard and staying busy, but through this journey I’ve learned it’s also about working smart.”
