The Audible Doctor’s FREE debut vocal EP “I Think That…” is out. The project features Elzhi, Von Pea, Wise Intelligent, Blacastan, Chuuwee, & many more.
Styles of Beyond, return to bring you their third album entitled “Reseda Beach” which will be released on 10-23-2012
The first leak from the project made you say “Damn,” as SOB linked up with Michael Buble’, the second leak, “The Pirate Song,” (produced by Vin Skully & Apathy) from the project is an ode to the adult beverage.
The Jackson, Mississippi rhymer has meticulously crafted a sound that is equal parts Outkast and Bootcamp Click. For his Mello Music Group debut, Heaven’s Computer, 7even is pulling out all the stops with a cosmic concept album that is just as much about ripping apart wack MC’s as interplanetary conflict.
To celebrate this apocalyptic moment MMG & 7even are letting off the buckshot, “Twenty Twelve.” As the title alludes, the track sounds like a Mayan prediction on wax. 5D flips a gritty rock loop into a raw serving of monster music and 7evenThirty turns into Max Redrum, an outer-space rhymer with fangs sharpened who has “psychiatrists rockin’ 3-D goggles smoking peace pipes” trying to see what he thinks like.
Doe Cigapom (“Deliver On Emotions” & “Can I Get Peace Of Mind”) acronym illustrates his mission to shed light on the very real healing powers of music. Throughout his own difficult life experiences, music has been the remedy for Doe’s peace of mind.
Doe was born and raised in Washington D.C. at a time when our nation’s capital was undergoing historic struggles. This undeniably had a direct impact on his upbringing, but as Doe emphasizes “there was always music” as his main source of solace.
As it often happens for many of our most cherished artists, as a child Doe became mesmerized by the music (particularly the drums) of the church services he attended as a child with his mother, prompting him to pursue teaching music and eventually becoming one of the most preeminent timbales and conga players in the effervescent “Go Go” music scene of D.C. while still only a teenager.
After college, Doe’s interests gradually began shifting towards a more Hip-Hop related sound, which combined his rhythmic abilities with his love of poetry. Soon thereafter, he began rapping at local venues, using it as a therapeutic platform to confront the painful experiences of his past; and as Doe states “giving him a new lease of life.”
Today, Doe Cigapom releases his collaborative EP entitled, CagedBirds, with producer Soulful via the upstart Indie Love Enterprises Company.
The time has officially arrived, as Aaron Cohen unveils his official “MURK” mixtape. Like many of his peers surfacing from the cracks of the Big Apple’s resurging rap scene, Inner City Kids rep Cohen approaches his music with a forward-thinking disposition–something more than evident on “MURK.” The ample 16-track project boasts appearances from fellow contemporaries like Shady Blaze, Kyle Rapps and, with A$AP Ty Beats (the man behind A$AP Rocky’s “Peso”), Black Noi$e and Ryan Hemsworth among others lending an eclectic variety of beats.
The Brooklyn-based beatmaker by way of Pittsburgh comes together with an assemblage of his hometown emcees to bring you The Confluence EP. While the direction of the project keeps a traditional hip hop feel, rooted in boom-bap and soul, maticulous keeps it fresh providing a classic vehicle to drive this new wave of old school out of The Steel City.
