Young Black And Gifted are emcee Golden and producer Kidd Called Quest. After letting the public hear a couple of “leaks” , “Looking At The City” and the excellent ” Ready For Me” Golden & Kidd Called Quest prove that their previous joints together wasn’t just a fluke or even a one time thing.
“Soul For Sale” is another dope team up ( leading to their upcoming album P.M.S.) as Golden kicks lyrics about peeps basically fronting to get a deal or to be noticed in the industry over Quest’s boom bap production which is accompanied by lush strings creating a tight soundscape . Some rappers might get offended but she spits a lot of truth.. while some MC’s lie about their pasts “just to get money & fame”… A head knodding thoughtful single ..

The Plan is produced in majority by Akir and his beat-making parternership with Ty Steez (The Sound) along with Omen with features from his “Rebel Army” brothers Immortal Technique, Poison Pen & Swave Sevah and is a major-step forward for the lyricist and producer.
The Plan promises to make 2013 a huge year for Akir as he says “this album has another level of music presence, taking my pre-existing formula to a larger audience. My first-project, Street Edition, was for the streets, but now I am aiming for the world”!
Until The Plan arrives, Akir has liberated a new 6-track FreEp entitled Focus, which you can download below.

Harn SOLO takes in the culture at Venice Beach in Los Angeles, California for the latest Focus Cinema TV directed video, “Stylin“. The feature presentation captures Harn SOLO performing while making his way through the famous beach side boardwalk, basketball courts and skate park.
The soundtrack to the video is scored by long time collaborator Pro Prospek, who is noted as the 2010 NOLA Hip-Hop Award producer of the year. Moving from Los Angeles to New Orleans a few short years ago, the artist and producer quickly formed a bond together that resulted in four full-length albums – ‘The Grind’, ‘Shooting Star’, ‘Journey To The Sky’ and the soon to be released ‘Perfect Picture’ due for release this Fall.

Precisely a year and a day from the release of the popular 2012 instrumental album “Too Hard to Beat”, Funky DL returns in 2013 with “From Street to Sweet” Instrumentals as the follow up.
The set mirrors it predecessor in comprising of 19 instrumental gems, some of which were previously unheard and unreleased. DL handles the beats on this one supremely well as the album drifts from tracks with harder hitting grooves to progress through the album to a more neo-soulic and smooth selection, but in keeping with a ‘reminiscent of hip-hop’ feel.
Just listening closely will demonstrate that DL takes charge with or without the use of breaks where some selections completely rely on live musician contribution in complement of DL programming and skilful arrangements.
Hip-hop fans all over the world have already been abundantly blessed with “Jazzmatic”, DL’s FREE onslaught remix project released earlier in 2013 as featured here on HHL&T, which focused on bringing to life some of – Queensbridge’s King of Hip-hop – Nas’ classics in the form of jazz laiden compositions. The project went down incredibly well us and with hip-hop lovers globally and showcased an already ‘more than capable’ Funky DL as a producer among the hip-hop realm. The “From Street to Sweet instrumental album however, exemplifies that DL can work outside of the typical sample based format but still keep the rhythmic and melodic gestures that true music lovers can appreciate.
All that’s left to be said is, “he did it again”…DOPE!!
Purchase this one if you’re feeling the vibes…
