J-Boogie’s Dubtronic Science – Undercover (Review)

J-Boogie's Dubtronic Science

Undercover

Released by OM Records


My familiarity with J-Boogie comes from the various remix and edit work he has done in the past (including one he made for Vieux Farka Touré's "Fafa" from 2009) as well as his collaboration with fan favorites People Under the Stairs, Quantic and his Combo Barbaro, Bay Area compadres Zion I, Goapele and Raashan Ahmad spanning multiple projects, personal and by others. By no means an exhaustive list, J-Boogie’s talent is undeniable and his knowledge of mixing, sampling, and creating great-sounding gems continues to this day. J-Boogie’s extensive network ...

Paul White

Rapping With Paul White

Released by One-Handed Music


Part hip-hop, part electrofunk and part space-jazz, UK producer Paul White’s new record Rapping With Paul White, is a genre-bending mixture of geographically diverse sounds. Featuring Detroit’s heavy-hitter Guilty Simpson of Stones Throw and Random Axe fame on the single “Trust” as well as the Motor City rapper Danny Brown on “One of Life’s Pleasures”, Paul White cooks up some delectable selections for our audible consumption—from straightforward hip-hop bangers, to more methodical and introspective instrumental tracks.

P.U.R.E presents TopBananas, “Waiting For My Time To Come” official video for DigiNovel soundtrack. (Video & MP3)

I’m excited to finally share the P.U.R.E. drop on this new music video for the soundtrack to the DigiNovel “Please Use Rear Exit” written by Brandon Perkins(former Senior Editor of Urb Magazine). If your not already aware of the the vividly written character descriptions and at times sci-fi-ish chapters here’s a quick PLEASE USE REAR EXIT video synopsis:: When Mikhail walks into an uber-exclusive club in chapter 15, there’s a song playing that instantly puts some pep in his step. This is a video for that song. The debut video tours Los Angeles’ real-life bus system while maintaining P.U.R.E’s otherworldly spirit.

“Waiting For My Time To Come” was written and recorded by Norman Foote II (TopBananas) also URB alum, and mixed by Scott Friedman.

Listen to the chorus, you won’t be disappointed. This song is hot! And, so are the headphones with the gold accents! Dayyummm ;)

Listen + Download + Pass it on.

Selective Hearing Part 2

Released by Up Above Records


Long Beach native James Kelly and DC-based Kevin Brown have teamed up once again under their pseudonyms LMNO and Kev Brown, respectively, in an appropriate and highly anticipated return to their highly original and collaborative brainchild (and homage to) James Brown. Their original work was unleashed onto the world in 2008’s well-received and inventive Selective Hearing, a soulful serving of stylized beats and eloquent rhymes. With quality cuts like “The Beat Tape” and “The Cause,” James Brown threw down a debut of impressive caliber that established both LMNO and ...
