K.Flay is easily one of my favorite emcees as of late, and this is her free mixtape. You can get it from her website here. It is called MASHed Potatoes and was released on September 20th of last year. Here are two of my favorite songs from MASHed, if you are skeptical of downloading the whole thing (which you shouldn’t be).
Jay Electronica is an up-and-coming emcee and producer from New Orleans. He is widely praised for his lyrical style and music which sometimes use samples from film soundtracks, such as “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”. Although he hasn’t released a full-length album, his library of songs is already growing, with some of his most popular songs being “Act 1: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (The Pledge)”“, “Exhibit A” and “Exhibit C”. Active in large online communities, Jay somehow seems to stay below the radar while still staying on everyones minds. There are a number of projects with his name attached to them such as a 9th Wonder collabo called “Big Brother”, as well as music with Just Blaze, Guilty Simpson and more. If you are sleeping on this cat, you are missing out tremendously.
Here’s a little hip-hop quotable from the man himself, from the track Exibit A:
I spit that, wonder rhymer shit, me and my conglomerates /
shall remain anonymous, caught up in the finest shit /
get that type of media coverage Obama get /
spit that Kurt Vonnegut, that blow your brain, Kurt Cobain, that Nirvana shit/
who gone bring the game back? who gone spit that Remo on the train tracks?
that gold rope, that 5 finger ring rap/
runnin with my same pack, you can find the Christ
where the lepers and the lames at.
Look out for more from Jay Electronica coming very soon. Act II is due to drop any day!
While cleaning out the 2009 SFR vault we came across this 1,000 bar marathon between Mac Lethal & B. Dolan called “Free Floating Hostility.” This is a whimsical, blackberry-freestyle type track that isn’t attached to any project so we figured we should kick off the new year by releasing it as a free download right now. B. Dolan is currently touring the North West with Sleep of Oldominion & Cecil Otter of Doomtree. His Fallen House, Sunken City album with Alias will be released on March 2nd, 2010. Oh yeah, and we can thank Drake for the term “blackberry-freestyle. -SFR”
WOW! Mac goes in hard on this one. B. Dolan does his thing aswell. This track is straight fire!! Don’t sleep on it, check it out below.
Follow up to their debut album, Remind Me In 3 Days, The Knux are back with some more really fly music. The Knux is composed of brothers “Krispy Kream” and “Rah Almilli”. If you haven’t hear the first album go check that one out aswell.
A good friend of mine recently recommended I check out the new disc from Qwel & Maker, called “So Be It“, and I make this suggestion back to you. From what I have heard so far this cd is absolute fire and I suggest you check it out. Support music that deserves it. Check out a sample below.
This joint comes from “Enter the 38th Chamber”, a remix cd by New York’s funk and soul band, The El Michels Affair. It’s by Portland hip-hip group the Sandpeople, if you haven’t heard them yet then you are missing out cause these cats have some really fly music. Check it out!
