DON’T SLEEP: REL x J Billion “MVMNT” [FREE ALBUM]
REL of SWTBRDS Drums & Ammo production team provides the sonic backdrop for Bay Area emcee J Billion to paint with bars. The finished product is impressive to say the least. “MVMNT” features guest appearances from Tha Jacka, Enoch & 1 O.A.K. that just further make it hard to believe that this project is available for free. The production is bananas. The bars are up to par. This jawn sounds better than these major label album that keep stinking up my Gmail inbox. REL x J Billion “MVMT”. Salute.

DON’T SLEEP: Mo Kolours “Drum Talking EP” [NEW PROJECT]
Mo Kolours is a vocalist, percussionist and producer that stradles the fine line that beat culture itself occupies. His music is somewhere between Hip Hop, Soul, Jazz and whatever term some so called music writer seems fit to give his music in order to come up with a genre name. As if any genre name could accurately describe his music anyways. Just listen to the “Drum Talking EP” for yourselves to see what I mean…

7even Sun‘s “Another Dimension” is dynamic, eclectic, schizophrenic, hypoallergenic, afrocentric, asiatic and fantastic. Great, now it looks like I let Don King ghostwrite this entry.

The video below was made for the intro to last year’s incredible “Long Distance LP” by Onra. I say this video 5x in a row and my mind is blown. I checked to make sure there was no peyote in my orange juice. There wasn’t. Or they just neglected to list it with the other ingredients on the packaging. Moreover, this video is amazing and I wish it were longer. Enjoy:
