The lead single from Willie Evans Jr.’s long awaited debut LP “Introducin'” which drops July 19th, 2011 on High Water Music is the infectious “Fisbawdup”.

DON’T SLEEP: Blu “Jesus” [NEW UPCOMING ALBUM]
Less than 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. 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”.
You can expect to get your hands on Blu’s “Jesus” on August 30th, 2011. You can pre-order it on CD or 2LP’s from Nature Sounds. Don’t sleep…

DON’T SLEEP: Floyd The Locsmif “Divine Dezignz 3: Dirty Canvas” [NEW PROJECT]
In October 2010, Floyd The Locsmif shot me these two exclusive jawns (plus instrumentals for the vocal track) to play on The Scrunchface Show. I had those exclusives and I played them. Being that all of us involved with The Scrunchface Show were huge fans of the “Divine Dezignz” series it only made sense. Originally, “Divine Dezignz 3: Dirty Canvas” was going to have a January release. No matter. We still bumped those exclusives proudly. Today, Floyd The Locsmif has released his long awaited 18 track masterpiece “Divine Dezignz 3: Dirty Canvas” and it was well worth the wait. Damb. DON’T SLEEP ON IT.

DON’T SLEEP: Paul White “Rapping With Paul White” [NEW UPCOMING ALBUM]
Paul White (“The Strange Dreams Of Paul White”, “Sounds From The Skylight” & “Paul White & The Purple Brain”) has remained a consistent figure over the past 4 years. Whether it was his vinyl singles or his full length releases everything has been a heat rock. From the off kilter, bugged out compositions to his rawest slaps (i.e. “The Punch Drummer”) Paul White has run the gauntlet. After hearing the Guilty Simpson collaboration “Ancient Treasure” a while back, I often wondered what an entire album of vocalists over Paul White beats would sound like. I don’t need to wonder anymore…
“Rapping With Paul White” is a full length project featuring bars and vocals from Guilty Simpson, Marv Won, Danny Brown, Moe Pope, Homeboy Sandman, Jehst, Tranqill & Nancy Elizabeth. Go here to listen to the lead single, “Trust” featuring Guilty Simpson and cop “Rapping With Paul White” when it drops August 23rd, 2011 on One Handed Music. Salute Alex Chase.

DON’T SLEEP: Fremdkunst “O Sweet Schwein Of Mine” [NEW PROJECT]
This off the wall 6 track instrumental opus from Fremdkundst (they’re Dutch) is easily the project that came out of left field yesterday morning when I was scouring the entire internet looking for projects to post. After repeated listens it’s safe to say that it makes the cut. Go stream and download Fremdkunst’s “O Sweet Schwein Of Mine” here. Don’t sleep…

DON’T SLEEP: Brenk “Predido” (prod. by Brenk) [SINGLE]
I was on BoomBap.org looking @ Twit One’s Workspaces feature two days ago. I went to show my brother said post yesterday morning (to prove he uses an MPC 500) and I saw this new Brenk Sinatra jawn called “Predido” from his forthcoming album dropping on September 2nd, 2011 “Gumbo 2 (Pretty Ugly)” up there. I decided to help them (BoomBap.org) spread it so I posted it up on my site since Rap Ohne Lizenz had already done the same.
I did think it was weird that Melting Pot Music sent their lead single to another site rather than just post it up on their own Soundcloud page first. When I saw BoomBap.org change their post a few hours later and take the song down I immediately erased my initial post. Just goes to show you that even the experienced cats in this blog shit can get caught out there from time to time. Don’t sleep on Brenk or Melting Pot Music you sad excuses for music fans.

DON’T SLEEP: Raekwon f/Nas “Rich And Black” (prod. by Sean C & LV) [SINGLE]
The video we thought would never happen for the song that Raekwon wanted Nas on for “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2” but he was too damb busy touring the Earth with one of Bob Marley’s progeny (don’t tell me which one cuz I’m never gonna play the album anyways). “Rich And Black” is produced by Sean C & LV of Grind Music. Nas appears courtesy of Def Jam Records (in other words, himself…). Enjoy:
