First up I’ma hit you with a track from RJD2′s new album “The Colossus”. This track features The Catalyst, Illogic and NP on a well-crafted RJ beat with some hard-hitting rhymes. Check out Illogic’s insane solar system metaphors. Download below.
Finally as a bonus, Ill Poetic dropped off a link to download all of the instrumentals from Illogic’s recent album “Diabolical Fun”, released March 24, 2009 on Weightless Recordings.
From the guy that brought you the “Portishead/Budden” and “NIN/Outkast” mash-ups:
“Simply put, I’m a huge Sade fan. I started work on this remix over 7 years ago. Upon hearing about the release of “Soldier of Love”, I figured now would be the time to release this. A Part of me is doing this from a promotional standpoint. But, honestly, the bigger part of me (and anyone who knows me can attest) is doing this as a fan of Sade, the singer and the band. Sade, to me, represents one of the last artists I can be a strict fan of. A legend, a myth. The more we all exist in this music industry, it’s easy to get lost in the business of music. Sade is my reminder of what makes beautiful music so beautiful. She is the perfect reminder of why music is a soundtrack to an Experience. That’s why I made this remix. If you’re a fan of Sade, then this is one fan’s take on her music, given to the rest of her fans who’d like to listen. – Ill Poetic”
Ill Poetic just sent this one over to me so I thought I would kick off the re-invigoration of the Hideout with it. Very mellow track, not even fully classifiable as hip-hop, but definitely a nice song that is definitely worth listening to. Below is a link to download the track, aswell as an Illogic track produced by Ill Poetic. Stay tuned for more great tracks!
In 2005, shortly after my album 1988 came out, i was on the Scribble Jam tour with my dude DJ Raregroove, Mr. Dibbs, and Glue. The tour ended in Portland, OR but instead of driving back with everybody else, me and raregroove decided to spend a few days in Portland kicking it and then fly back to Ohio later that week. Considering everybody else on the tour was gonna be trapped in a bus for 2 or 3 days in route to Ohio, getting drunk everyday and kicking it in portland seemed like a much better option. So we played darts, went out, dug for records, and while i was there i recorded a song with my fellow rhymesayers brethren Grayskul. The song is called “Blueskul” and its produced by Coley Cole.
It was intentionally slated for their second album Deadlivers, but the song didn’t make the cut. Considering I hadnt heard the song since i wrote and recorded it (and had never heard a version with Greyskuls verses on it), i was was pretty happy they sent it to me last week. Either way the song is now 5 years old and since nobody has really heard it i figure i would give it to you all.

Nice little track that Blueprint released for the New Year. Check it out below. Thanks Printmatic!
This is a link to the free EP released by Greenhouse (Illogic x Blueprint). They have officially dropped the “Effect” from their name, but its that same hip-hop sound you love. Below is the tracklist, with a physical copy of the cd available at Weightless Recordings. Electric Purgatory Part 2 is due out early 2010.
01 Gettin’ There
02 Boys to Men
03 Cold Out Here f. The Catalyst
04 Damn
05 Never Gonna Make It f. Zero Star & Nina D
06 Next Generation
This is an absolutely ill song by Illogic, which was cut from Diabolical Fun. It is produced by Ill Poetic, and features a pretty dark theme. Scope it.
