DON’T SLEEP: Dunc Of DTMD Making A Beat On An SP 1200 [BEAT VIDEO]

Dunc of DTMD (the producer) makes a quick beat on an SP-1200 and walks us through the process. Cop DTMD “Makin’ Dollas” off Bandcamp & iTunes then look for the wide release next week. Don’t sleep on this young talented producer using a classic piece of equipment older than he is…

DON’T SLEEP: DTMD (Dunc & Toine Making Dollars) “Makin’ Dollas” [NEW ALBUM]

DON’T SLEEP: DTMD f/yU “Keep On” (prod. by Dunc) [SINGLE]

DTMD (Dunc & Toine Makin’ Dollars) are back with yet another impressive single off their upcoming Mello Music Group debut LP “Makin’ Dollas”. This jawn features yU of The 1978ers & Diamond District and it’s called “Keep On”. I’m really looking forward to hearing this full project when it drops in just under three weeks (September 20th, 2011 is the listed release date).

Toine’s bars coupled with Dunc’s production make you wonder how Complex completely overlooked him for their last 15 new producers to look out for list. Then again, Complex sucks balls at Hip Hop related lists so what else do you expect? I’ve embedded the single below from their Bandcamp. Why didn’t I do this sooner? Don’t ask. Also, DON’T SLEEP!

DON’T SLEEP: DTMD “You” (prod. by Dunc) [VIDEO]

DTMD stands for Dunc & Toine Making Dollars. Toine is the emcee and Dunc is the producer. The LP “Makin’ Dollars” is set to drop soon on Mello Music Group and this is the video for “You”. Don’t sleep on these cats and pre-order their LP which drops on September 20th via iTunes

DON’T SLEEP: Oddisee “Rock Creek Park” [NEW ALBUM]

Oddisee’s brand new Mello Music Group LP “Rock Creek Park” evokes memories of Oddisee’s material with the trio Ave.To from back in 2008 and it’s a continuation of much of the soulful production aesthetic involving live instrumentation (salute to the homies Jon Laine & Ralph Real) you can hear all over his previous release “Odd Seasons”.  I recommend that you all cop this album as it’s dropped exclusively on iTunes today (August 23rd) for only $7.99 but it goes on sale everywhere else (Amazon, Fat Beats, UGHH & Bandcamp) on September 6th, 2011. Don’t sleep on “Rock Creek Park”. DON’T DO IT.

DON’T SLEEP: Def Dee “Cheap Heat” [BEAT TAPE]

Story goes that the homie Damu The Fudgemunk (Redefinition Records/Wonkabeats) put Michael Tolle over @ Mello Music Group onto this producer named Def Dee. Mike liked what he heard decided to sign him. Here’s his introduction to the Hip Hop world at large, a funky ass 29 slap beat tape called “Cheap Heat”. Don’t sleep!

DON’T SLEEP: Oddisee “The Carter Barron” (prod. by Oddisee) [SINGLE]

OH. MY. GOD. HOV! The lead single from Oddisee’s forthcoming Mello Music Group LP “Rock Creek Park” is called “The Carter Barron” and evokes memories of Oddisee’s material with Ave.To from back in 2008 and much of the production aesthetic you can hear all over “Odd Seasons”. Cop this album when it drops on iTunes August 23rd and when it hits everywhere else September 6th, 2011. Don’t sleep on Oddisee. DON’T DO IT.

Tomasz Cibulla and Wojciech Drożdż of ZBS Studios in Belgium contacted Mello Music Group a while back asking them for permission to create a video for Oddisee’s “The Blooming” off of his album “Odd Seasons” (perfect travel album BTW). The end result is a gorgeous visual companion to a wonderful musical composition. DON’T SLEEP!
