DON’T SLEEP: Evidence “To Be Continued…” (prod. by Sid Roams) [SINGLE]
Here’s the audio of the lead single from Evidence’s long awaited “Cats & Dogs” LP on Rhymesayers Entertainment. The release date is September 27th, 2011. The last real Evidence release was “The Layover EP” he dropped on Decon back in November 2008 and I remember the news initially broke of Ev signing his contract with Rhymesayers back in July 2009. He said he’s gone through some personal shit during this time so hopefully it makes for some great music and this album will serve as catharsis. Production will be handled by Evidence, The Alchemist, Exile, DJ Babu, DJ Khalil, Jake One, Sid Roams, Rakhi & DJ Premier. Here’s the Sid Roams produced lead single titled “To Be Continued…”. Don’t sleep…

This shit is raw like sushi. Genuine like Gucci. No Antonio Hardy tho…

DON’T SLEEP: Kaytradamus “Merrymaking Music” [INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM]
Kaytradamus just recently dropped an instrumental project that immediately reminded me of the old Armand Van Helden “Sampleslaya” days. This dude clearly grew up a fan of Cassius, Daft Punk, Bassment Jaxx, etc. and he did his thing on “Merrymaking Music”. I actually thought that the new Duck Sauce would be more like the blaps on “Merrymaking Music” sound. You should definitely peep this and cop it if you’re into that kinda stuff. Don’t sleep…
