DON’T SLEEP: OSØ “The Works” [BEAT TAPE]
Bump Records in house producer OSØ just dropped one of the rawest instrumental projects of 2011 recently. It’s heavy, hard and soulful all at the same time. Most importantly, you’d wanna play it in your car or have it loaded on your phone or iPod when you’re commuting, working out or just riding that iron horse through the city. No matter the case, don’t sleep on OSØ’s “The Works”…

The homie Vanderslice of Brutal Music hit me off with a new mix of music he’s previously sampled to make that gully street corner bullyfoot punch-you-in-the face-for-even-daring-to breathe-the-same-oxygen-as-real-muthafuckas Hip Hop. You can download the mix below. Stop sleeping…

DON’T SLEEP: Blu “Jesus ∆” [NEW ALBUM]
3 months ago I did a post about the mysterious Blu album that appeared on Bandcamp for $10 called “Jesus ∆”. The album had a gang of repeated songs under different titles and that only left 8 original songs that were slightly over 17 minutes of music in total once it was downloaded. Not very long afterwards, the album was taken off of Bandcamp entirely. Recently Nature Sounds announced that they’d be releasing a proper version of “Jesus” in association with New World Color like they’d done previously with “Her Favorite Colo(u)r”.
Now you can cop the 11 song opus featuring Planet Asia and production from Madlib, Alchemist, Knxwledge, Hezekiah & 9th Wonder. You can expect to get your hands on Blu’s “Jesus” on iTunes right now but you can acquire the project from other digital marketplaces later on. You can pre-order the physical copy which drops on August 30th, 2011. You can pre-order it on CD or 2LP’s (shipping August 16th) from Nature Sounds. Don’t sleep…

DON’T SLEEP: The Alchemist Playing Beats In The Lab For Rick Ross [BEAT VIDEO]
I don’t give a flying fuck about Rick Ross or Maybach Music Group, the only thing I care about is hearing some Alchemist beats. Rick Ross’ lying ass is still on top of the world and 50 Cent is canceling albums like Consequence kills his old friendships…and his personal reputation. I don’t care to hear “God Forgives, I Dont”. Why? Because God forgives, Dart don’t. Enjoy the beats, kids…
One.
DON’T SLEEP: Brotha-Gif “Seeing Green/The Unflipable” [BEAT TAPE]
Luigi Bo87 put onto this one “Seeing Green/The Unflipable” by Brotha-Gif earlier on but I finally got to hear it not too long ago. Don’t sleep on it, it’s dope. Like Bell Biv Devoe with Marley Marl on the remix.

DON’T SLEEP: Small Professor “Elderly Jawns” [INSTRUMENTAL PROJECT]
How raw is “Elderly Jawns”? I’ve been playing it for almost the past two hours straight while watching a Korean crime drama called “The Man From Nowhere” on streaming Netflix. It wasn’t until I took a bathroom break & paused both that I just realized I hadn’t posted it on Producers I Know yet. Don’t sleep!
