DON’T SLEEP: Them Fighting Words x Scrambled Crates 9 [INSTRUMENTALS]
As I previously stated back in June, one of my favorite production based features on the entire internet is Them Fighting Words‘ Scrambled Crates series. The last edition was #9 and it featured 26 producers and beatmakers flipping, chopping and reinterpreting the same sample provided by the lovely Jillzworth differently. The Scrambled Crates 9 Soundcloud set below so you can all hear it.
If you’re interested in being a part of Scrambled Crates 10 then hit up Jillzworth with” SC10″ as the subject @ ScrambledCrates@gmail.com. Please keep in mind that only the 10 best jawns will be posted to Soundcloud beginning with this one. Please don’t waste Jillz time by asking for the sample and failing to send it in by the deadline or MINE by making some wack earbleed shit with weak ass baby arm drums. Guess who’s gonna be judging soon? ME. Let’s get it!

A while back, Praverb The Wyse asked me if I’d be willing to host his upcoming compilation for his “Behind The Beats” interview series on Praverb Dot Net. I said “HELLFUCKINGYES”. He kept me abreast of the progress and when it was done we decided to release it on Monday initially (or tonight @ midnight) but Praverb asked if we should post it on Bandcamp. I said “Definitely”. It was available for streaming all afternoon and several blogs have responded overwhelmingly to it all before I even had a chance it make the official post. That’s the beauty of the internet. Here it is: Praverb Dot Net x Producers I Know present “Behind The Beats Volume One”. Don’t sleep!
