DON’T SLEEP: Apathy “Honkey Kong” [NEW ALBUM]
Apathy’s highly anticipated project “Honkey Kong” (which is finally available for purchase via Dirty Version Records today) can be copped right now via iTunes, UGHH, Fat Beats, Amazon and wherever else Hip Hop CD’s & vinyl are sold. Features include Vinnie Paz (Jedi Mind Tricks) Ill Bill, Slaine, Celph Titled (Demigodz), Xzibit, Blacastan, Action Bronson, Steele (Smif N’ Wessun), Mad Lion, Esoteric, Reef The Lost Cauze, Outerspace, Motive, Tosha Makia & Brevi.

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: Lunice “One Hunned EP” [NEW PROJECT]

Below in the 5 minute long EP sampler in addition to links to audio of the single “Guardian” and the video for the banging “Glow” which I can’t embed for whatever reason. Cop it from iTunes, Amazon, Boomkat and Rush Hour. Don’t sleep!
One.
DON’T SLEEP: Paul White “Rapping With Paul White” [NEW ALBUM]
Sure the cover art looks like a character design to the “Fantastic Planet” sequel but the long awaited One Handed Music release “Rapping With Paul White”is finally available for streaming and purchase. Paul White (“The Strange Dreams Of Paul White”, “Sounds From The Skylight” & “Paul White & The Purple Brain”) has remained a consistent figure over the past 4 years. Whether it was his vinyl singles or his full length releases, everything he’s dropped has been a heat rock.”Rapping With Paul White” is no different.
From the off kilter, bugged out compositions to his rawest slaps (i.e. “The Punch Drummer”) Paul White has run the gauntlet. After hearing the Guilty Simpson collaboration “Ancient Treasure” a while back, I often wondered what an entire album of vocalists over Paul White beats would sound like. I don’t need to wonder anymore. You heard his slaps on Danny Brown’s “XXX”?
“Rapping With Paul White” is a full length project featuring bars and vocals from Guilty Simpson, Marv Won, Danny Brown, Moe Pope, Homeboy Sandman, Jehst, Tranqill & Nancy Elizabeth via One Handed Music. Salute Alex Chase. DON’T SLEEP!

DON’T SLEEP: Peace Of Mind “Peace Of Mind Files” [NEW TEAM PIK MEMBER PAGE]
As I typically do when I try to determine who the next member of Team PIK is, I survey the past & present landscape for beatmakers and producers that I’ve dealt with extensively or have come across with a high level of potential, ability, drive and an inherent love for their craft and the art involved. Every member of Team PIK I’ve selected shares these things in common.
Peace Of Mind already fit that bill, but after I heard his beat tape “Laces Out”, it was only a matter of time before I extended him an invitation to join Team PIK. Without any further ado, I present to you Peace Of Mind’s “Peace Of Mind Files” page on Producers I Know’s Bandcamp. DON’T SLEEP!
