DON’T SLEEP: BUeLLER “HOMeBURGER” [FREE BEAT TAPE]
I refuse to act like I have any real information regarding this beat tape/release or that I can shed any real light on things. This project was brought to my attention last night by @eyanj via Twitter. I know Bueller is from Montreal, Quebec in Canada because I remember last year’s “AiRGLOW” but I don’t know if Quand-Y Pleut is a contributor or not. I have NO clue what tout’nou means (150+ KenLo Craqnuques beats on my iPod Touch & I still ain’t learned shit!). I DO know this project is called “HOMeBURGER” and it’s pretty dope. It’s free dumbass so no excuses, either…

DON’T SLEEP: Madhandmade “Madhandmade” [FREE BEAT TAPE]
I’m not even gonna front. I JUST finished hearing this entire beat tape on Bandcamp. Bugseed posted the link up on Twitter and I liked what I heard so I posted it. I’m guessing the producer is Japanese. That being the case, Bugseed needs to put us up on more of this smooth shit. 13 slaps that run just around 20 minutes and it’s a free download so what’s stopping your punk ass? NOTHING. Get Madhandmade “Madhandmade” here.

DON’T SLEEP: Juganaut “Juganautology” [FREE ALBUM]

Ketchphraze of Street Justice recorded a few songs with Black Milk and some of the premier emcees on the Detroit Hip Hop landscape a while back. I had them all as far back as December or January and as a collection they were called “The Virus EP”. Here’s one of those songs that had yet to be liberated until today, Ketchphraze f/Trick Trick & eLZhi’s “My Detroit”. Be on the lookout for Ketchphraze’s upcoming solo material. Don’t sleep:

DON’T SLEEP: Shag “Shag Files” [NEW PIK MEMBER BANDCAMP PAGE]
Every month until the Summer is over I will be adding a new member to Team PIK. Last month, I added Brockton, MA’s own D-Man after numerous incredible projects and placementa and a record amount of submitted closers to the Scrunchface Show. This month, I decided to bring in an impressive young producer/beatmaker from Fort Worth, TX called Shag.
I’ve been taking note of his growth, progression and versatility since he dropped his first project on Bandcamp back in December 2009. Since then, Shag has produced 9 totally different but equally impressive projects that made me see his potential. If Shag stays on his current path, he can become as well respected and revered as producers such as Alex B or Take are currently. Check out his PIK Bandcamp page “Shag Files” and get acquainted with his impressive back catalog while looking forward to his bright future.

Two weeks ago, Renegades Of Bump posted a Lithuanian beat compilation from it’s most talented up & coming producers and beatmakers called “Ritmo Kovos #1” with a gang of ill blaps on it for $5 that I just saw again on Finest Ego. I remembered that I’d downloaded a previous Renegades Of Bump beat tape for free on the MacBook back when my 15″ PowerBook G4 almost exploded on me earlier this winter. I found “Ritmo Kovos dalis.2” still unzipped on the hard drive from January 12th, 2011. I listened to it and said “Sheeeeeeeit” © Clay Davis. Don’t sleep on Lithuania. They ain’t just good at basketball…

DON’T SLEEP: Edo. G “Stop It” (prod. by Max Mostely) [VIDEO]
Hip Hop legend Edo. G has been in the game for 25 years now and his new album “A Face In The Crowd” drops next week. This video for his new single “Stop It” is filmed in Roxbury, a part of Boston that those damb “Boston movies” seem to neglect even though it’s in the heart of the city. No need to have bridges visible in any shots because it’s actually filmed in Boston. Proof? Look at all the brown people! *shots fired*. Ed hangs around the Humboldt area and he even hits up a couple of record stores (Skippy White’s & A Nubian Notion?). Watch the video. Buy the album. Salute Boston. See y’all at the Boston Hip Hop Unity Fest on the 21st…

Since then they’ve dropped a tribute to Grandmaster Roc Raida, a tribute song to the birthplace of Hip Hop called “The Bronx” and a song about longevity in the discipline of Hip Hop called “20 In”. The video is below and expect a Trinity LP on Fat Beats in late 2011. That explains why A.G. & Sadat X were chillin’ around Fat Beats last month on Record Store Day, huh? *Smacks forehead*
