DON’T SLEEP: Sonnyjim & Kosyne “EG Professionals” (prod. by Kelakovski) [VIDEO]
If you’ve been following the Louisden Beat Battle Circuit (like I’ve been telling you to do) then you’ll be familiar with EatGood Records. The label has kicked off 2011 in grand fashion. EatGood Records just dropped it’s long awaited first compilation “EatGood Records Compilation Volume One” and they’ve just presented some fresh visuals to accompany an ill blap from none other than the beast known as Kelakovski. Sonnyjim & Kosyne straight up murder the track and the video (of course) was directed by the homie AB0181. If you slept in 2010, you have no more excuses to do so in 2011. Visuals are just below.

DON’T SLEEP: M Slago f/The Rapture, Dow Jonez, Word Life & Money Stax “Run For Cover” [SINGLE]
M Slago has become one of my favorite producers of 2010 and this single he hit us off with from the upcoming “Rampage EP” has nothing to change that fact. I played this jawn on the the last broadcast of “Bloggerhouse presents The Scrunchface Show” and it banged like Rachel McAdams (or her body double’s) backyard in that GIF that currently has the internet goin’ nuts (no Paul Wall). Here it is for your listening pleasure, “Run For Cover”. Get a damb neckbrace (and just to be safe, wear a condom). Enjoy:

DON’T SLEEP: Realm Organization “Life Analysis 1.5: The Reboot” [NEW MIXTAPE]
In the mid 90’s, the Boston Hip Hop group Relentless broke up and went their separate ways. Later on, they formed a new crew, different groups and a new indie label called xnr inc. (xtensive nterprises inc.) after Tomax & Xamot’s corporation in the “G.I. Joe” cartoons. The spelling was to insure they wouldn’t be sued by either Hasbro, Sunbow Productions or Marvel Comics later on. One of the groups on said label was called Realm Organization and they were going to name their album “Life Analysis” since “Realm” is an acronym for “Relentless Everlasting Analyzing Life’s Meaning”. In 1999, they secured a deal with a local indie label and they began recording the “Life Analysis” LP while crew member DYS was making noise in the scene, ultimately becoming affiliated with local legends Krumbsnatcha and later freestyle champion and former Concrete Click member KT and his K-Munications label.
In the Summer of ’99, the main studio of xnr inc. & home of the crew’s main producer Buctayla located at 487 Mass Ave in the South End of Boston was one of the less than 200 rent controlled units left in the city thus the vote for keeping rent control failed miserably. The tenants of said unit were given weeks to vacate their home of almost 25 years. This greatly affected the crew as Nasarok eventually also moved and it affected Buctayla & Nasarok’s ability to finish the album. Eventually, life intervened as Nasarok moved to Hawaii & Buctayla and Cardi teamed up to focus on production now that they both had children to support. Crew member DYS was incarcerated at the time so everything was in a holding pattern for years with the crew. Fast forward to today.
With the wonders of modern technology, Buctayla & Nasarok have been able to not only recover some of their old finished tracks from the original 1999 “Life Analysis” sessions but record brand new material to go with it. The result? Realm Organization “Life Analysis 1.5: The Reboot”. In the future, expect the full release of the 1999 opus “Life Analysis” as well as a few instrumental projects from Buctayla’s MPC circa the same era in addition to DYS’ mixtape “Live From 617” in January. This site is is called “Producers I Know” and there is no other producer I know better than he. He’s my brother. Don’t sleep:

Hir-O’s slaps were first brought to my attention not too long ago by one of my peers William Ketchum. Ketchum & I go way back to the old AllHipHop.com days so if he’s trying to put me up on something, I’m listening. He sent me some tracks produced by Hir-O & I was instantly impressed. Especially after hearing the production he did for a recent mixtape up on Bandcamp. I told Ketchum if he had anything new dropping soon to let me know. I was in luck, he was and here it is: Hir-O “The Voyage Home”. Download & streaming links will be provided below. If you like what you hear and want to contact Hir-O’s management about production work then hit up the homie Ketchum @ weketchum@gmail.com. Serious inquiries only. Don’t sleep!

DON’T SLEEP: IMAKEMADBEATS “Daylight EP” & “Nightlight EP” [FREE EP’s]
Bloggerhouse favorites IMAKEMADBEATS and the entire Doxside Music Group decided to continue their dominance of 2010 (which included the epic Bloggerhouse sponsored “Dare Iz A Doxside Mixtape”) by closing out the year with two amazing EP’s, “Daylight EP” featuring the vocal talents of the respected emcee Butta Verses and the “Nightlight EP” featuring the monster himself Midaz The Beast. Typically, cats just decide to lay low in December and let the past 12 months of work speak for them. Not the Doxside camp, they simply don’t believe in resting on their laurels (though it would be a much earned rest after the 2010 they’ve managed to put together).
After hearing these two projects your eyes should be open wider than homie in that scene in “A Clockwork Orange”. Be on the lookout for IMAKEMADBEATS, TzariZM, and the rest of the Doxside Music Group in the near future. Don’t sleep. Sleep is the cousin of Death.

DON’T SLEEP: William Cooper f/ Stoneface “Free” [VIDEO]
William Cooper’s “Free” is the 4th official Video from his critically acclaimed solo debut “Beware Of The Pale Horse”. This video is the final part of a two part visual series that began with Cooper’s “One Roll of the Dice” video, which are both filmed and directed by Mad Sci for Scientific Lens Media.”Free” features a hard-hitting soulful backdrop orchestrated by the rising Wu-Affiliate Producer BP and introduces Stoneface as the newest addition to the Gemstarr Regime Record Label. “Free” visually takes the viewer on a trip into the modern day world where the power of the dollar bill continues to keep the general population prisoner to the system, hence keeping “we the people” from ever truly becoming free.
Fresh off two US Tours with his Black Market Militia comrade Killah Priest and also being nominated for Independent Album of the Year at this year’s Underground Music Awards; Cooper returned with a re-newed focus on promoting “Beware Of The Pale Horse” as the awareness and sales continue to climb. If you have yet to pick up William Cooper’s “Beware Of The Pale Horse” it can be purchased on iTunes, Amazon, eMusic and Underground Hip Hop.com. Don’t sleep, visuals to follow:

DON’T SLEEP: Nameless “16 Bit: Bonus Stages” [NEW ALBUM]
Nameless became a quick favorite with us over at Bloggerhouse and he also became a mainstay on The Scrunchface Show due to his projects “16-Bit” & “Be[ats] Original Vol. 2”. Selections from those two releases dominated our weekly tracklistings before Hypedog dropped the amazing “The Best Of Nameless” compilation on the masses. When Nameless made his appearance @ the Detroit Red Bull Big Tune competition and announced that he’d be making “16-Bit: Bonus Stages” anticipation was Wiz Khalifa @ 9 AM high. Now that I’ve heard it I can say that it met all my expectations and exceeded them. The sleeper must awaken. Get you some:

DON’T SLEEP: Kaytradamus “Teriphikness” (FREE INSTRUMENTAL PROJECT)
Montreal producer Kaytradamus was brought to my attention recently but when our boy Luigi @ Hypedog hit me up with a link to a recent recorded Kaytradamus UStream where he played several ridiculous selections from a new project of his. He proclaimed that he was going to drop it soon. After Nameless’ “16 Bit: Bonus Stages” had the internet going nuts, Kay was skeptical as to what kind of reaction “Teriphikness” would receive. I’ve been playing it for the past two hours straight, mind you. Y’all are going to hear this shit and lose your damb minds. Here’s the D/L link and as more links become available I’ll update this post. Enjoy:
