Bump Records in house producer OSØ just dropped one of the rawest instrumental projects of 2011 recently. It’s heavy, hard and soulful all at the same time. Most importantly, you’d wanna play it in your car or have it loaded on your phone or iPod when you’re commuting, working out or just riding that iron horse through the city. No matter the case, don’t sleep on OSØ’s “The Works”…

It should also hit Bandcamp & iTunes at some point soon. It’s also available now so don’t sleep! Videos embedded below:

King Boom blesses us with yet another beat tape in 2011. Turns out he has a Soundcloud after all. Go figure. Don’t sleep on “World Music”.

The Midnight Kids Academy (MDNK) offer their compilation up for Japanese relief efforts. This compilation features contributions from 46 artists including familiar names like AbJo, Bullion, NegroSaki, TEK.LUN and many others. You can preview and cop Midnight Kids Academy “Midnight Kids For Japan” here. Don’t sleep…

Chicago’s MC ADaD is severely underrated. Here is a promo video for MC ADaD’s upcoming mixtape due in September featuring a slap by Tensei Beats. Don’t sleep, sleep is the cousin of death…

The homie Vanderslice of Brutal Music hit me off with a new mix of music he’s previously sampled to make that gully street corner bullyfoot punch-you-in-the face-for-even-daring-to breathe-the-same-oxygen-as-real-muthafuckas Hip Hop. You can download the mix below. Stop sleeping…

This is a Juno Akasawa remix/reworking of Mndsgn‘s “Respawn” off “NoMaps”. It’s just below. Enjoy and don’t sleep…

3 months ago I did a post about the mysterious Blu album that appeared on Bandcamp for $10 called “Jesus ∆”. The album had a gang of repeated songs under different titles and that only left 8 original songs that were slightly over 17 minutes of music in total once it was downloaded. Not very long afterwards, the album was taken off of Bandcamp entirely. Recently Nature Sounds announced that they’d be releasing a proper version of “Jesus” in association with New World Color like they’d done previously with “Her Favorite Colo(u)r”.
Now you can cop the 11 song opus featuring Planet Asia and production from Madlib, Alchemist, Knxwledge, Hezekiah & 9th Wonder. You can expect to get your hands on Blu’s “Jesus” on iTunes right now but you can acquire the project from other digital marketplaces later on. You can pre-order the physical copy which drops on August 30th, 2011. You can pre-order it on CD or 2LP’s (shipping August 16th) from Nature Sounds. Don’t sleep…

Haz Solo x 0hbliv present the lead track from their as of yet untitled collaborative project. It’s called “PICKerUPPer” and it’s dope. Don’t sleep!
One.
I don’t give a flying fuck about Rick Ross or Maybach Music Group, the only thing I care about is hearing some Alchemist beats. Rick Ross’ lying ass is still on top of the world and 50 Cent is canceling albums like Consequence kills his old friendships…and his personal reputation. I don’t care to hear “God Forgives, I Dont”. Why? Because God forgives, Dart don’t. Enjoy the beats, kids…
One.
Luigi Bo87 put onto this one “Seeing Green/The Unflipable” by Brotha-Gif earlier on but I finally got to hear it not too long ago. Don’t sleep on it, it’s dope. Like Bell Biv Devoe with Marley Marl on the remix.
One.
How raw is “Elderly Jawns”? I’ve been playing it for almost the past two hours straight while watching a Korean crime drama called “The Man From Nowhere” on streaming Netflix. It wasn’t until I took a bathroom break & paused both that I just realized I hadn’t posted it on Producers I Know yet. Don’t sleep!

As I previously stated back in June, one of my favorite production based features on the entire internet is Them Fighting Words‘ Scrambled Crates series. The last edition was #9 and it featured 26 producers and beatmakers flipping, chopping and reinterpreting the same sample provided by the lovely Jillzworth differently. The Scrambled Crates 9 Soundcloud set below so you can all hear it.
If you’re interested in being a part of Scrambled Crates 10 then hit up Jillzworth with” SC10″ as the subject @ ScrambledCrates@gmail.com. Please keep in mind that only the 10 best jawns will be posted to Soundcloud beginning with this one. Please don’t waste Jillz time by asking for the sample and failing to send it in by the deadline or MINE by making some wack earbleed shit with weak ass baby arm drums. Guess who’s gonna be judging soon? ME. Let’s get it!

Resistant Mindz brings you the video series called LE Beat Diaries that also features production from Sieze Beats, Defekt & Mr. Beef, Dutkus, Reed Flavor, Flowtec, Dyze, Immortal Beats, Stanley Bloom & Wehkah. Don’t sleep on Resistant Mindz.

Are these remixes? Are they reconstructions? Reconfigurations? Does it even fuckin’ matter what you call it? All that matter is that it slaps when you play it and that it makes your head nod and you scrunch up your face. Knxwledge played some of these jawns on the air when he, Mndsgn & Sir Froderick were on The Scrunchface Show last night. Go get that “Hexual.Sealings.LP” right now. Don’t sleep…
One.
This remix is insane. Freddie Joachim bodied one of my personal favorite Erykah Badu jawns. Not that I’m surprised or anything because it’s been long established that Freddie Joachim is a monster behind the boards. It’s embedded just below so don’t sleep. Salute to Mellow Orange.
One.
New FS Green! Don’t sleep on this cat. He’s been nice with the beats since before Kanye West began making low sperm count music…

9Planets’ Nintendo 8bit themed beat tape “Ninetendo” can be copped for $5 digitally and physically on cassette for $13 beginning August 31st. This jawn was made with an Ensoniq ASR 10 and a Roland SP 202 & SP 404. The analog sounds are perfect for a tape release. Don’t sleep!
Producer Elephant & Castle’s newest Plug Research single dropped recently and you can hear sides A & B right here through the magic of a Soundcloud link. “Sweet Someone” & “I Will” should both be streamable and available for purchase via iTunes and look for Elephant & Castle’s Plug Research debut to surface soon. Don’t sleep…

Today TzariZM dropped a megaton bomb on the Hip Hop bloggerverse in the guise of the track called “ThunderCats” featuring bars from 9th Prince and MidaZ The Beast. If you ain’t feeling this then you don’t deserve the gift of hearing. Don’t sleep…
Here’s the latest submission to the Roy Ayers Project site featuring producer Buscrates, his jawns are “Everybody Shine” and “Chocolate District”. Both of which you can hear here.

I’ll include the Soundcloud embedded version below. Don’t sleep!

The homie 5th Seal has once again provided me with the 10th Beat Vlog which begins with his newest production and a famous spot for NYC sneaker fiends before he abuses an ill sample in his lab. Enjoy, world:

The homie Alkota is back at it making that heat for the people dem. He also sells ill flash drives and has made beats for some of your favorite artists so stop sleeping on him. You have no reason to whatsoever anymore. As you all were…

I just saw this Eric Lau (“New Territories”, “Kilawatt V.2”, “Makin’ Sound” & “Quadrivium”) beat video of him breaking down his creative process over at Beat Creator Escapades via Twitter this morning. This is going to be a beat video centric day, people. It’s Monday so we need that. Enjoy and look out for that upcoming Eric Lau project. Don’t sleep!
One.
Mister Bibal’s “Losange Jaures” just dropped recently and I feel like the people that frequent this site really need to hear this jawn. This 5 slap collection is being sold via Bandcamp and if you’re feeling it you can cop it for only £4. Don’t sleep…
