All posts for the month September, 2013
‘Scenario’ is the first single taken from the album “The Heroes: A Tribute To A Tribe Called Quest” which is a voyage, from the 90’s when ATCQ was at its peak, to now, taking the listener on an evolutionary tour of hip hop to Southern Africa. This album is not only a tribute to ATCQ, but also a symbol of the happiness and joy in the simplicity of life, love, and music.
Recorded Live in Mozambique.

PKG artist E. Grizzly has released his new music video “Scream Phoenix Remix” which is the 2nd installment to his hip hop video series “Generation A”. To view the video, click the link below. E. Grizzly’s video series will include the last three mixes he released. “Scream Phoenix Remix” is off “Helldoesnotexistasweknowitbizzaromixvol0” which is a mix dedicated to producer El-P.
The video takes place in Philadelphia and portrays E. Grizzly hanging from a roof. The more Grizzly performs the song the more he looses his grip of what he’s holding on to. The video also shows Philly during rush hour and the high stress level is very evident. The point of the video is to let go all the issues the average person stresses about and live life to the fullest. The video was directed by local film maker Jestin Brisbon and edited by 9th Element at PKG Studios.

88 EP is the new release from North-West London producer JD. Reid. Comprising five tracks, it showcases some of London’s finest up-and-coming rap talent as well as two instrumental tracks, showcasing the buzzing producer’s versatility.
Following his previous EP Word Gets Around, JD. Reid’s name has become well known -his infamous ident has become known as a staple of quality in the London hip-hop scene – via production for the likes of ItsNate (‘WSLTA’), Piff Gang (‘Mars’) and Catch’Em (‘Stouts & Piff’), the latter of whom he collaborated with for an entire EP entitled The Rum Cream Diary. 88 EP calls in favours from ItsNate, Milkavelli (of Piff Gang), Yordanos, Denzel Himself and Gabriella Skies (both from Brxtherhood). The chorus of ‘Amber Waves’was also co-written by song-writer Jimmy Napes who has recently penned hits like ‘Latch’ for Disclosure & Sam Smith and ‘La La La’ for Naughty Boy.
Inspiration for the project comes from his travels in South East Asia last November. Of the EP’s title he explains: “I was told that 8’s represent good fortune in oriental culture. You’d be surprised interesting theories and philosophies surround the number 88. The time I spent in Asia made the number feel relevant to me and I hope that titling the project 88 will bring it good fortune.” The cover photograph was taken in Vietnam and if you look closely you might catch Reid, low key sporting a beanie, in the image. Extending the theme further, samples and references to the cult Anime film and Manga comic, Akira, appear throughout the EP, and a Chinese narrative runs throughout the 5 tracks.
“In making this EP I wanted to try and take people on a journey” explains Reid, “I wanted the 5 tracks to show my versatility and help people feel my vibe as a producer. 88 is like a representation of where I’ve been and where I’m at right now, and I see it as a starting point for where I want to take it next.”
Famed producer Just Blaze shares his thoughts on Jay Electronica’s highly anticipated follow-up to “Exhibit C,” and reveals if an album is on the way. He also speaks about his communication with Jay, and what it would take for him to release an album.
