I’ve got so much respect for Shawn Stussy, check out this clip of him still living his dream. Inspiration!

 
Damu is almost single handily keeping that golden sound alive. He’s even doing it better than all the artists that were actually there in the 90′s paving the way. Raw Poetic comes so correct on this track, his flow is outrageous, and the rhymes are of serious substance, and that’s something that’s few and far between these days. It feels so damn good to hear beats and rhymes like these still existing. Just hear those vibes ride at the end of the track.
 
KILAWATT V1.5 is produced entirely by Damu The Fudgemunk and featuring Raw Poetic on the mic. It will be released on February 28th. You can cop yours here now.
 

 

 
Just caught wind of this extra nice mix from Gasface in France, who are currently working on a short film about famed composer/producer Galt MacDermot entitled Lookin4Galt. While “beat-heads” or “crate diggas” as we used to call ‘em may well be familiar with his work and its relation to hip-hop, Gas Face along with DJ Greengiant explicitly re-connect the dots with Down With the King – an excellent mix of sample source tracks, classic hip-hop tracks, and interludes from the film. Special appearances by Pete Rock, El Da Sensei of the Artifacts, Juju of the Beatnuts, Jadakiss and others.

Morgan has just posted up a rad interview with Alex Campbell on the SBA website. Check it out here.

 
You might remember the sound of this duo from the latest Neighbourhood Watch Clip. If not, peep the sounds of Guilty Simpson over slick Eric Lau beats! This duo strangely enough seem to work better than Guilty and Madlib!? Doesn’t make sense on paper, but the head nodding doesn’t lie. Oh, and I can’t forget the added smoothness by Fatima.
 
This is another track from upcoming Eric Lau’s Mission EP, you can buy it here.
 

 
If you’ve been around these parts for a minute, you’ll know anything Dilla related gets especially hyped on. I thought I should post these up for what would be Dilla’s birthday today. Bling47 bring you three rad sample tales from some of those who were close to the man. Enoy if you haven’t already seen. Happy Birthday Dilla! RIP.

Check out some new street shit from Quentin Guthrie, keeping it where it should be!
