Q-Tip - Kamaal The Abstract
Tip's 2008 release 'The Renaissance' blew my mind, and he's back again with some mad crazy new album... well it's not exactly new but very OVERDUE. Kamaal The Abstract was meant to be released in 2002 but was seen to be too 'uncommercial' to be put out on the market. Well let's just say that I'm happy that it's finally going to be released this month. Props to my boy Alberto on the hook up!!
I'm feeling Damn You're Cool on some next level, it's my weekend jam!!
Enjoy!!!
Damn You're Cool
Reverber For The Factory
Boon Doc - MPC Fiend
Now I'm on a production tip right now, thinking about the MPC and it wouldn't be complete without posting up an amazing production by a US cat called Boon Doc. My good MPC loving friend Ola hooked me up on this one and I fell in love immediately.
The 1st track is the one that left me gobsmacked.. he chops up
Donnie Hathaway - I'll love you more than you'll ever know
If you sit back, watch, listen and feel no emotion then I recommend you get yourself checked out by a doctor because this guy is packing nothing but musical HEAT..
Pete Rock - MPC 2000 XL
Anyone who knows me I love Pete Rock for his contribution to hip hop, he's a seriously gifted producer. From his work with C.L. to Soul Survivor 1 & 2, Petestrumentals - actually I APPRECIATE IT ALL. I am happy to say that I saw him live at Jazz Cafe earlier this year , playing a phenomenal set and I'll definitely go back next time he comes.
Now I saw this clip a little while ago on youtube and admired the thought that he puts into every track. After my friend got an MPC and I watched it again I was just blown away. With my birthday coming up next month feel free to get me an MPC ;)
Enjoy!!!
