DON’T SLEEP: D-Man “Son, I Had Crazy Visions!: A Guide To Rockin’ N*ggas This Summer” [INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM]
After the departure of Jeeks from Producers I Know, I knew I should look for more producers to add to the squad. I wondered how I should reach out to first among the wide pool of available candidates and the first name I thought of was the young emcee/producer D-Man from nearby Brockton, MA that broke the record for most closers on The Scrunchface Show.
When I told D-Man I wanted him to send me tracks to upload to Producers I Know for his profile he sent me more than 30 WAV’s in 6 different folders. I listened to all of them and I heard something in 15 of them that made me put them in a separate folder. The rest became what was featured on his D-Man Files Producers I Know Bandcamp page.
Shortly after seeing and hearing his new PIK page, Danny told me that he wanted to make an instrumental project/beat tape soon. I told him that I already HEARD one in the remaining beats he originally sent me. We brainstormed and decided to go with a summer theme, I immediately went back through the beats and I sequenced them so that they told the story of a typical summer day in Brockton, MA. After about 2 days, I’d come of with a good sequence & I presented it to Danny. He made some suggestions so I changed some things around and resent it to him…
Danny thought about the theme and the title and told me that the project needed a proper opener. He’d been working on a flip that just screamed “Summer” that was giving him some difficulty but it would make the perfect opener. D-Man spent all night perfecting a beat that ended up being the leadoff track “I’mma Rock N*ggas This Summer”. The 16 tracks were re-ordered and it was done. Now you all get to hear the official soundtrack to beginning of the summer season. Go listen to & download D-Man’s “Son, I Had Crazy Visions: A Guide To Rockin’ N*ggas This Summer” courtesy of Producers I Know and Bloggerhouse. Enjoy.

DON’T SLEEP: AssociatedMinds x EatGood Records “The Highball EP” [FREE ALBUM]
Two of my favorite UK collectives/extended families teamed together to create mindblowing music. AssociatedMinds. EatGoodRecords. It’s like the X-Men AND Avengers said “let’s join forces”.

Production is handled by the highly capable team of P.L.O. AKA P Leezy, Metabeats, Kelakovski, Dockmini, Myke Forte and Beatbox Fozzy.
Don’t sleep on AssociatedMinds OR EatGood Records anymore. I don’t see how you can now. The body has fallen out of the trunk and we can’t pretend it didn’t happen and we all didn’t see it. Now wake your asses up & go download “The Highball EP”.

DON’T SLEEP: Random Axe (Sean Price x Guilty Simpson x Black Milk) “Random Call” (prod. by Black Milk) [SINGLE]
Random Axe’s next single (they’re NOT leaks, people. Leaks don’t have cover art & aren’t provided in links endorsed by the artists’ own record label. Fuck outta here with that!) is the eerie and foreboding “Random Call”. As someone that’s been playing this album for months now (I’m using the original cover art on my iPod Touch) I can imagine the torture you’re all going through waiting to hear the full project. I guarantee you it will all be worth it. In any event, here’s “Random Call”. You’ve heard “Monster Babies”, “The Hex” & now “Random Call”. There’s records that are so much more ridiculous than these still left on the album, too. Cop “Random Axe” June 14th. Don’t make me track your IP addresses, find you all individually then put your grandpa into a kimura because you didn’t….
