DON’T SLEEP: Jonwayne “Oodles Of Doodles” [BEAT TAPE]

Jonwayne (“The Death Of Andrew” & “Bowser”) is well known on the LA beat scene, his appearances with Brainfeeder and also by spinning and emceeing @ Low End Theory. He drops a two CD monster of a beat tape called “Oodles Of Doodles” today. The physical version contains 48 slaps but the digital download contains only 44 (Only *chuckles to self*). You can preview the project and purchase it by going directly to the venerable Stones Throw site or finding it in a damb wrecka stow. Don’t sleep…

DON’T SLEEP: Jonwayne “The Death Of Andrew” [NEW PROJECT]

Jonwayne is a well known beatmaker/producer/live performer on the LA beat scene/circuit. He’s one of the stars of the Low End Theory and his eyebrow raising mixtape “Thanks, Bro” and his previous Alpha Pup release “Bowser” both rose his profile so much more in 2011. Yesterday, Jonwayne’s new EP “The Death Of Andrew” hit iTunes, Boomkat and Beatport. Go cop it and don’t sleep on him…

One.


DON’T SLEEP: Thundercat “The Golden Age Of Apocalypse” [NEW UPCOMING ALBUM]

Bassist Stephen “Thundercat” Bruner has performed and appeared on several artists albums in the past and he’s a studio player and touring bassist for a few groups as well. After hearing him on Shafiq Husayn’s Plug Research album, I knew it was only a matter of time before he’d have one of his own. Thundercat’s Brainfeeder debut is produced entirely by Flying Lotus and drops on August 30th, 2011. Until then, check out these two selections from said album below, “Daylight” & “For Love I Come”. Don’t sleep…

DON’T SLEEP: Samiyam “Sam Baker’s Album” [NEW PROJECT]

Samiyam (“Rap Beats Vol. 1”, “Return EP”, “Man vs. Machine EP”, “Bootleg Beats” (w/Flying Lotus) & several placements) has finally dropped his long awaited and highly anticipated Brainfeeder project “I Am Sam Baker’s Album” today.  This project consists of 17 sickening tracks all the way from the haunting opener “Escape” to the final offering, the off kilter “Sometimes”. In case you need extra motivation, I embedded two tracks from the album below for the non believers. You can purchase Samiyam’s latest opus “Sam Baker’s Album” via Amazon (for only $5.99), iTunes, eMusic, Boomkat or UGHH. Don’t sleep!

DON’T SLEEP: Samiyam “Cushion” (prod. by Samiyam) [SINGLE]

This album first got announced months ago but the official lead single has finally been announced. It’s called “Cushion” and you can hear it here. After I first heard this, I sat in front of my door waiting for the advance like Scott Pilgrim waiting for Ramona Flowers to deliver his package from Amazon.ca (Shut up, I loved the graphic novels AND the the movie). Samiyam’s “Sam Baker’s Album” drops on Brainfeeder June 28th. I can’t wait, B…

DON’T SLEEP: TOKiMONSTA “Creature Dreams EP” [NEW UPCOMING PROJECT]

TOKiMONSTA (“Cosmic Intoxication EP”, “Midnight Menu” & “L.A.

DON’T SLEEP: Samiyam “Sam Baker’s Album” [NEW INSTRUMENTAL PROJECT

Samiyam (“Rap Beats Vol. 1”, “Return EP”, “Man vs. Machine EP”, “Bootleg Beats” (w/Flying Lotus) & several placements) will drop his highly anticipated Brainfeeder project “I Am Sam Baker’s Album” on June 27th, 2011. This project will consist of 17 tracks and at the time of this posting there is no lead single as of yet. If the quality of the previous Brainfeeder releases or Samiyam’s back catalog is any indication, this album will be insane. As soon as a single is made available you best believe you’ll see it featured here.
