The homie Nameless from Flint decided that enough was enough & he decided to cull together an EP from beats & collaborations he’d done but never quite released. The end result? A new 25 track EP titled “Dusty Pads”. It’s good like grandma’s fried chicken, that is unless your grandma made some weak ass fried chicken then forget I even mentioned it. Not to be an asshole, but if your grandma sucked at frying chicken then I feel deep sorrow for your young lives. Unless of course you were a vegetarian or a vegan, then…Nah. Still feel sorry for you and your non chicken frying ass grandmother, B.

DON’T SLEEP: Danny Swain “Where Is Danny?” [SINGLE]

Back in late 2009, Danny Swain dropped the LP “Where Is Danny?” for free after languishing on Def Jux for an extended stay around the time it was rumored that Definitive Jux would be folding. That album was hailed as one of the year’s best and it was produced by Alex Goose with a number of notable features including ones from Von Pea, Danny Brown & Che Grand. Then Danny disappeared.

DON’T SLEEP: Christoph El’ Truento “Wednesday EP” & “Panda Hat EP” [INSTRUMENTAL PROJECTS]

The first time I ever heard any Christoph El’ Truento slaps was back in early 2009 when I was researching producers to profile for Poisonous Paragraphs. Back then there weren’t any Bandcamp, Official.fm or Flavors.me pages (I miss Muxtape & imeem). Folks were uploading zip files onto the internet promoted through blogs & their MySpace pages. I was actually tipped off about Christoph via a comment on Strictly Beats where I downloaded two of his instrumental releases “Pretty Butterflies” & “I Wanna Write A Book One Day…But For Now…”. Later on, I also downloaded his “Homemade Shit” project and loved it.

I was impressed with what I heard and I had arranged to do 150 producer profiles the next year on Bloggerhouse starting in June (25 profiles a month) until we started the Scrunchface Show in May 2010 & I was given Producers I Know in 2010 by Jay Large & FWMJ. I know present to you all Christoph El’ Truento’s “Wednesday EP” & “Panda Hat EP” via his Bandcamp page. Enjoy.
