Batsauce - Summertime

This came out during the summer. I missed it. Oddly though I downloaded his wifes album about the time this came out, Lady Daisey, soul type stuff. Anyway, these beats are awesome, some dope rhymes on some of them too... all sampled from different covers of Gershwins classic 'Summertime' I believe

Chabuca Granda y Oscar Aviles - Diologando (1968)

So Oscar Aviles is generally regarded as the finest Peruvian guitarist... he really is f*ckin' awesome... and Chabuca Granda is also a wonderful Peruvian singer (and I think guitarist too)... this is an album they both did together...
I've purchased a couple records by each on my trip to Peru just now and they are really excellent...
I'm tired as shit now so I'm not going to bother finding a video, but I'll probably put one up at some point when I get to it...
check it out dudes and dudettes... Peace from Lima, Peru.

Javelin - Jamz and Jemz (2009)

So I very recently happened upon the band Javelin while browsing through the Luaka Bop artist roster, I read what they do and was like SHIEEET I'm all over this. YUP, going to see them next week in Toronto, pretty excited. Here is a video that shows what they are all about and at the beginning is playing their hit track 'Vibrationz'

C Rayz Walz - Who The Fuck Are You?

Pretty sure this is the latest C Rayz Walz album, I think its from 09, honestly don't care enough to check.
I've been listening to this album alot lately. I never really used to listen to C Rayz but damn dude can really rip a microphone, this album got lots of banging beats, clever ryhmes, dope features, and almost every track goes hard.

I really love the track "I Love New York", that chorus is stuck in my head hardcore.
Check it sons and daughters.

Here is the only music video I can find from the album...

Cannibal Ox

Ahh I love Cannibal Ox. The Cold Vein is for me, one of the best hip hop albums of all time. It is most certainly one of my favorites. Vast Aire and Vordul Mega are just on some other world stuff... and it is the best of all Def Jux abstract El-P production that I've ever heard. Vast really fits on alot of those beats, the styles blow my mind on this album.

Flying Lotus - Parisian Goldfish

Check the video for the Flying Lotus track Parisian Goldfish. The video has been banned from nearly all video hosting sites on the internet due to its almost pornographic nature.
It is indeed quite racy and is basically porn... nevertheless I really enjoyed the video

This is Kid Koala with a full band... and MC Blurum 13 on some tracks.

Shadrach Kabango

I've been a big fan of Shad for several years now, but after hearing the new album TSOL, I am blown away, Best work yet, Marvelous, great to see him in hip hop, I wonder if this album will break through to the mainstream. It would be good for the world to hear.

This is TLO, the DJ that tours with Shad K...
Interestingly, he was the last DJ to win Scribble Jam before it stopped happening. So unless it starts up again, he is the champ forevaah. Word life, this is a fantastic album of beats, great stuff.

Video for track off The Waiting Room. Dope for real.

Aaaand one of my fave tracks from Imaginary Friends... Helped me feel light hearted about a really rough break-up... Hilarious stuff... Chorus is
"Girls I need 'em but they be misleading playing games with my mind and leaving my wrists bleeding, Girls, Women they deadly venom, but still we persist and insist to go up in 'em."

Luz y Fuerza - We Can Fly (1971)

Don't know much about this except that its from Mexico in 1971, and its heavily influenced by popular North American beats, even sing in perfect english. The mp3's are better quality than the video... not stellar quality, but better.
Some pretty great songs on here.
