DON’T SLEEP: Sepalot “Beat Konducta Bavaria” [BEAT TAPE]
Some of you remember Sepalot‘s “Red Handed” LP from 2008. Most of you don’t. I DO. His next official release will be “Chasing Clouds” which drops on September 30th. To tide the fans over he drops this 10 track 18 minute project where he flips traditional Bavarian standards and folk songs. This is dope. And he flipped it like Madlib did an old Jazz standard… © Not MF Doom

DON’T SLEEP: Jonti “Firework Spraying Moon” (prod. by Jonti) [SINGLE]
I was listening to NTS Radio earlier because the homie S Type had a live set where he played some exclusives. After his set was over I heard an incredible song from someone named Jonti that the DJ said was available for free on the Stones Throw site.This sounds like the type of track you put in the score of an indie movie. Once I found it, I played it for 30 minutes straight to get it out of my system so I could finally make this post. His “Firework Spraying Moon”/”Begone Slumber” 7″ drops in August but his LP “Twirligig” doesn’t come out until the Fall. There’s a video for it as well. Enjoy (or don’t)…

Paradime. The first time I ever heard the name Paradime was back when I was a fan of Federation Records when S.U.N., Da Brigade, Paradime, Eminem, Bizarre and Da Ruckus were killin’ shit between 1998-2000. Paradime has been working on his new album for quite a while now (which is understandable cuz dude is busy) and to reward us all for being so (not) patient, he’ll hit us off with a new jawn every Friday. Since I’ve been sick I was late to post it. The track is “Beefeaterz” and it’s produced by our extended fam Apollo Brown. Paradime is also peoples with the big homie Hex Murda so you already know what it is. Download “Beefeaterz” below…
