Q-Tip @ Knitting Factory 9/27
I've been lucky enough to go to some really really dope concerts over the years down here in Australia, but this video would easily top all of that. At like 6:48 in, the whole scenario switches and the place goes batshit.

Another reason I wanted to post this was to give awareness to Ma Dukes’ (Dilla’s mother) troubles. In light of her illness (Lupus, the same disease that took her son), growing financial troubles and recent estrangement with the executors of her son’s estate; The Giant Peach has set up a way to donate. Hit up their MySpace and get to it. And for those that expect something in return of a donation, you can purchase the new Solillaquists of Sound single with all proceeds heading to Ms. Yancey!

Terrace Martin - Jazz, Soul & Hip-Hop (Prod. by Pete Rock)
Another special edition Jazz x Hip-Hop instrumental from Terrace Martin. This week’s selection is produced by the Chocolate Boy Wonder. Hit the jump for some words from Terrace. “Pete Rock has been one of my all time favorite producers in the world – one of the major influences in my life. I am in the middle of doing a jazz record right now with Hip-Hop producers. I’ve worked with Hi-Tek, DJ Quik, and a lot of other fellow producers. I got this record from Pete Rock through Power 106 FM radio personality Fuzzy Fantabulous (from Big Boy’s Neighborhood Show). Fuzzy is the executive producer for this album and he got at Pete Rock about the situation and Pete ended up sending him 3 records. The other 2 Pete Rock songs you will have to hear on the album but I’m giving you this one for free. I just want to feed the Earth good music and I hope that everybody likes it and enjoys it.”

illDoc: Hipster Rap (Video)
Set aside our dismay at their fashion sense and judge each one on the merits of the music
A-fuckin-men. I’ve been saying it for the longest. You act like an asshole when you base your entire thoughts of an artist by their choice of clothes. Listen to the music, that’s the whole point!
Jake One - Glow f. Elzhi & Royce Da 5′9″
I know everyone is waiting for Bar Exam 2, the life threatening emails prove so (smh). Anyways, this should help keep the Royce fans tame until GL finishes up the mix. I’ve been blazing this in the Zune for about a week now and now I see it hit the internets (what up B LOVE?) so here you go! The Elz x Nickel collab brings fire to our speakers once again. Let’s not forget Jake One on the boards! Definitely looking forward to his upcoming album, White Van Music, dropping October 7th!

Johnson&Jonson Album Release Party (Video)
Blu & Mainframe, aka Johnson&Jonson, held their album release party at BoomBox at the Grand Star Jazz Club in Los Angeles this past weekend. Looking at the footage I wish I would’ve gone. I still had fun in Hollywood that night though (and you will see soon). After reading Blu’s name in the video, should we drop ‘em? BluE!? Nah man. Get it right.

JAY-Z - ROC BOYS (YBP REMIX)
DOWNLOAD JAY-Z - ROC BOYS (YBP REMIX) HERE
I know a million and one people have remixed this already, but when I first dug up this sample, it just made me instantly think of this song. I also threw together a video for it as well (I'm no super-video producer or anything, but it'll do)
I haven't been posting much new stuff lately because I'm working on two little projects which I'll have to keep mostly under wraps until they're released.
Firstly, an EP with DJ Speek Greene aka. Food Witherspoon, which hopefully we'll be able to wrap up before the end of the year. If he uses the beats I think he's gonna use, it should come out real nice
Also, I'm trying to wrap up B's Mellow Grooves EP, which will be a combination of smooth deep house tracks and more laidback soulful instrumentals. Again, I'm hoping to get that out by the end of the year as well, and it'll probably just end up being released on the internet.
Don't Forget B's Remixes Vol. 1, FREE DOWNLOAD HERE
If you're still wondering why there's a significant lack of playlists the last 6 months or so, it's because I'm trying to blog just about everyday on my blogspot page. I try to put the latest music, videos and just random stuff I'm checking out.
I just also wanted to say thankyou to all the different websites/blogs that posted the Random track I produced called "Exhale" which you can still download here. If you still haven't checkout out Random's "8th Day", but sure you put it at the top of your to do list or whatever.
So yeah, until next time......B
