Неутомимый Kool Keith дополняет собой альбом зарекомендовавшего себя за последние пару лет продюсера Ray West. Оба являются участниками LUV NY. Концепция "A Couples Of Slices" связана с космической пиццерией будущего.
Description:
Couple Of Slices Red Apples 45's Couple Of Slices pairs the production of Ray West and the lyrics of the legendary Kool Keith. The original cover illustration by Greg Mac depicts a futuristic pizzeria set in outer space, a perfect setting for the wizard Kool Keith to serve up slices to hungry space travelers. Keith's wizardry intertwines with Ray West's melodies to create a mood of sarcastic romance at the same time setting rappers straight. Proudly recorded in the Bronx, all the writing and concepts were done together in the studio. Mixed with great detail by Phil Moffa at Butcha Sound NYC with features from AG of DITC, Cormega, 3rd Eye & Dyin Breed.

||| Category: Hip-Hop ||| Release Date: Oct 30, 2015 ||| Label: Bang Ya Head ||| Produced by: Madlib
Три гиганта West Coast андеграунда развивают идею сотрудничества, зародившуюся два года назад вместе с "The Burgundy EP". Каждый из этих троих причастен к по крайней мере одному альбому, ставшему классикой калифорнийского хип-хопа, при этом MED и Mad имеют богатую историю сотрудничества, а Blu добавился в это уравнение после того, как поэкспериментировал с попавшими к нему инструменталами Madlib'а. "Bad Neighbor" - полноценный альбом с 12 песнями на борту, который выходит на лэйбле, принадлежащем MED'у. Релиз может оказаться в кубе мощным, но и разочарование с такой вывеской и таким набором гостей может быть неслабым.
Description:
With 100% beats by Madlib, Bad Neighbor is the brainchild of MED – a cornerstone in Stones Throw’s history -- and Blu – the voice behind modern classics like Below the Heavens -- who instantly clicked a decade earlier on tour with Emanon. The album is an exclamation point on the idea that began with The Burgundy EP, expanded to include Dam Funk and Mayer Hawthorne on The Buzz EP, and continued until contributions from Anderson.Paak (Dr. Dre’s Compton), Hodgy Beats (Odd Future), and the one-and-only MF DOOM made Bad Neighbor ready to launch.
But Bad Neighbor isn’t the first time MED and Madlib’s orbits have collided. A fellow head from the fertile crescent of Oxnard, CA, MED not only guested on the now-classic Soundpieces by Lootpack in ’99, he also dropped into Madvillain’s “Raid” (Madvillainy, 2004) and made his mark on Quasimoto’s Unseen (2000), not to mention making the sole MC appearance on Madlib’s acclaimed Shades of Blue. Madlib, in turn, provided the lion’s share of production on MED’s Classic and Push Comes to Shove alongside J Dilla and Oh No. Meanwhile Blu, besides earning HipHopDX’s “Rookie of the Year” bona fides, put LA back on the map alongside Exile (Below the Heavens, Give Me My Flowers…) and as a self-produced solo artist (Her Favorite Colour, Jesus, York!, Good to Be Home).
Bad Neighbor, although hazy, heavy, and blunted under the influence of Madlib’s aesthetic backbone, floats effortlessly above the smoke by virtue of MED and Blu’s sometimes topical, sometimes acrobatic, and always on-point interplay. The album is undoubtedly an extension of all three artists’ signature sounds, but it simultaneously defies all precedents to reaffirm each individual’s position at the forefront of LA’s legendary hip-hop landscape.

J Dilla возвращается снова. Гениальный продюсер, который провёл свою недолгую жизнь за созданием хип-хоп музыки, оставил после себя громадное наследие в виде целых альбомов и незаконченных инструменталов, которые уже почти 10 лет после его смерти продолжают становится всё новыми релизами. + 41 из архива Джеймса Янси.
Description:
The late, great J Dilla is rightly celebrated as one of the greatest hip-hop producers of all time, in part because his ear for music was so diverse and expansive. From the smooth, soulful soundbeds he laid down for A Tribe Called Quest, Slum Village, The Pharcyde, Common, The Roots, and D'Angelo to the hard-edged, synth-heavy tracks he crafted for Busta Rhymes, Jaylib, Oh No, and Phat Kat, Jay Dee's music continued to grow and evolve throughout his brief time on this planet. As Dilla's mother Ma Dukes explains, "He didn't come with a limited capacity, and real producers produce, produce, and produce. There are no formats for genius workers...just non-stop creations."
Now, a fresh batch of those creations will be made available to the world for the first time, in the form of the latest official J Dilla release, Dillatronic. Presented by Ma Dukes and compiled by DJs Alien Villainz (fellow Detroit natives who worked closely with Dilla), Dillatronic contains over 40 rare instrumentals that showcase Dilla's undeniable electronic influences. J Dilla's music was impacted by the diverse musical history of Detroit - the birthplace of Techno and one of the most important cities in the history of electronic music. "You can hear it in songs like 'Raise It Up' for Slum Village or 'Make It Hurt' for Busta Rhymes," says Young RJ (Dilla's protégé and member of Slum Village). "The Detroit influence is part of what gave him an edge in production."
With today's music sounding more electronic than ever, Dillatronic has a shockingly contemporary feel. "These tracks are still ahead of their time sonically," explains RJ. "The things producers are doing now, Dilla did that 15 years ago." As the years go by, Ma Dukes plans to continue presenting music fans with the untold chapters in Dilla's ever-expanding legacy. "I can smile in my heart, knowing my son's work is being shared with the people as we planned before he passed," she says. "I only share the best, and I only hope to continue introducing the world to the genius of J Dilla."

Второй альбом, который рэппер Awon и продюсер Phoniks записали вместе, после "Return to the Golden Era" двухлетней давности.
Description:
"Knowledge of Self" is the 2nd official offering from hip-hop duo Awon & Phoniks. Coming over 2 years after releasing their debut album "Return to the Golden Era" in Summer of 2013, the Newport News, VA emcee and Portland, ME producer have been working diligently on their follow-up. While the debut LP was a throwback to 90's hip-hop in every sense, with lyrics focusing on Awon's troubled youth and tales of street grandeur, their 2nd LP sees the group maintain their signature sound while refining things both musically and lyrically. This time Awon is speaking from the present, educating youth on tracks like 'Reflections' and speaking on current social climates in 'Summer Madness' and 'Profit Off My Pain'. He has adapted his rhymes to more relevant topics while keeping his all-natural flow groove-locked in the pocket.
The duo also capitalized on the networking opportunities their first LP provided, collaborating with a multitude of talented artists from all over the globe such as Oslo's Ivan Ave and London's Heeni. Phoniks shows his maturation as a producer on tracks like the trunk rattling 'Do They Really Love You' and 'Be Real With It' featuring jazzy piano chops, subtly layered samples and off-beat, un-quantized rhythms. While the debut LP was crafted with the artists in isolation, recording and emailing each other from their respective bedroom studios, "Knowledge Of Self" was made possible by traveling across the east coast and working together in state of the art recording facilities. The tracks are given a warm punch from being recorded through top notch microphones and preamps and bounced down to analog tapes. Across it's 13-tracks, Awon & Phoniks make their best case at providing fans with one of the most well-rounded, impactful hip-hop projects of 2015. Not only have they returned to the Golden Era, but this time they have done it with a seasoned wisdom. Knowledge Reigns Supreme.

||| Category: Hip-Hop, Instrumental ||| Release Date: Oct 23, 2015 ||| Label:Chinese Man Records
Chinese Man - трио битмейкеров-вертушечников из французского Марселя, куда входят High Ku, Sly Dee и Zé Mateo. Часто на выступлениях группы можно начитать 4 или 5 участников, в жизни Chinese Man активное участие принимают также Leo le Bug и Le Yan. Музыку французы выпускают на собственном импринте Chinese Man Records. Голосом альбома The Journey, который был записан за 6 дней, стал один из самых известных африканских рэпперов Tumi. Он родом из Танзании, но давно перебрался в ЮАР, где намного больше возможностей для занятия музыкой. Там-то он и стал лидером лайв бэнда Tumi & The Volume, с которым записал несколько альбомов.
Description:
It was inevitable: since their first collaboration in 2012 for the making of the track "Tá bom", the MC and the trio were constantly having their paths crossed, either in studio or on stages. It was then, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the label in the beautiful Réunion island, and around a glass of rum and a cigar that the decision was made: The Journey will be release in October 2015 and the trip is about to start...
For its production, the three "Chinese" disciples will draw from the darkest record bins: Banjo method, 30's music, flutes from the Andes... the goal rather is simple: step out from the usual territory used by the sample addicts and get as far away as possible from the hip-hop to then come back with new perspectives. Five of the titles were produced by Chinese Mab and one by LeYan and Tomapam. In parallel, six instrumental versions complete the album, including great contributions from Hugo Kant, Le Syndicat Du Chrome and Scratch Bandits Crew. Tumi's texts, in their turn oscillate permanently between mockery and bitterness. Behind the humor and punchlines, Tumi shares his vision of the music world and his place in it.
In studio the group decides to foster a sense of urgency so as to preserve a rough aspect and a live energy at the heart of this adventure. The Journey is recorded in six days, in the home of the Chinese Man, in Marseille. For this project, the BPM are accelerated, the samples intertwined and the MCs' flows go back to the basics. Tumi and Chinese Man chose to invite Taiwan MC for featuring and to bring forward the new guard of South African MCs with Khuli Chana and Youngsta CPT!

Branko Jordanovic или Brenk Sinatra, достойный признания венский продюсер, в последние годы неплохо поработал над своим международным имиджем и уже воспринимается как европейский продолжатель традиций West Coast в том числе и благодаря сотрудничеству с MC Eiht. Его новый сольный релиз привлекает к себе внимание даже несмотря на то, что выпущен он на австрийском лэйбле. Анонс обещает самый атмосферный альбом Brenk'а.
Description:
October 16th the wait is finally over: Midnite Ride will hit the stores and your car stereos.
Started as a random beat playlist for his car and ended up as his soon to be released solo album, Midnite Ride is basically Brenk’s soundtrack for the road. Listeners who loved his previous, more soulful and jazzy productions will definitely love Midnite Ride. If you ask Brenk to describe the sound of Midnite Ride, he’ll probably just say “wavy”, that’s it.
From Cali influenced beats such as “Skeemin” known from Brenk’s “LRG x LA Documentary” to mood uppers like “Cruisin Alone“ and “Friday Nite“ or the Pimp C homage „Leather & Wood“ this album is made to turn down. Midnite Ride is one of Brenk Sinatra’s most atmospheric albums so far.

Prozak не только рэппер, но ещё и кинорежиссёр, в своём более привычном амплуа он недавно выпустил 4-й альбом, который как и три предыдущих вышел на Strange Music. Prozak называет себя Хичкоком хип-хопа, он снял что-то наподобие ужастика 5 лет назад и в своёму музыкальном творчеству как может пытается придать антураж хоррора.
Description:
Prozak is one of the most diverse and versatile artists to emerge in the rap world. With a style that incorporates his love of both rock and hip-hop, along with socially relevant song content and consciously uplifting lyrics, Prozak is militant and anthemic with his approach to rap. Prozak has collaborated with an eclectic list of artists that range from Tech N9ne and Brotha Lynch Hung, to Sid Wilson from Grammy award winning metal outfit Slipknot, and demented hip-hop duo Twiztid. Prozak spent the last few years on the road playing shows with Tech N9ne, Machine Gun Kelly, and the Kottonmouth Kings, which allowed him to earn a devoted following.

In the winter of 2006 in west Philadelphia, producer Adam Jeez and lyricist Yikes The Zero decided to work on a few collaborations that would lead to a 2 year expedition into experimental wordplay and abstract production. The journey accumulated over 30 songs spanning several genres from around the world. This collection of unreleased conceptual songs were hand-picked, remastered and seasoned to form the album "The Some of Us" and is now being released digitally and on limited edition cassette through Extra Lovely Records.

Альтернативное хип-хоп трио ASM (A State Of Mind) в составе Funky Poet, Fade и Green получило билет в жизнь от уважаемого в Европе французского продюсера Wax Tailor. На его студии Lab'Oratoire группа выпустила первые два своих альбома в 2010 и 2011 годах. Новый релиз ASM - это не только музыка, но ещё и комикс, 40 страниц на извечную для хип-хопа самурайскую тематику. История не обошлась без злодея в металлической маске. Что же до иснтрументальной части альбома, то тут радует участие The Black Knight Chamber Orchestra.

||| Category: Hip-Hop ||| Release Date: Oct 16, 2015 ||| Label: Mello Music Group ||| Produced by: Jack Splash
Проект, который обещает стать одним из самых заметных для широкой музыкальной общественности в истории Mello Music Group, дуэт Semi Hendrix объединил усилия Ras Kass и звёздного продюсера Jack Splash, который писал музыку для Alicia Keys, Anthony Hamilton, Raheem DeVaughn, Cee Lo Green, Kendrick Lamar и др, 10 раз номинировался на Грэмми и трижды выиграл. Также Jack Splash неплохо чувтсвует себя и у микрофона, является участником оригинального коллектива PlantLife под псевдонимом Matt Kahane. Он переехал из Майами в Лос Анджелес, что не могло не сказаться и на круге его музыкальных знакомств, про свой дуэт Ras Kass Jack сказал: "Я решил, что если я собираюсь заниматься настоящим искусством, то я должен поработать с лучшим из лучших... Пикассо западного побережья".
Description:
Semi Hendrix is the acid inside the headband and the fork inside the electric socket. It's hard-core hip-hop, furious voltage spiked with funk and soul. It's political and street, cerebral and reckless. It's Jack Splash and Ras Kass running roughshod over everything from economic inequality to racist government policy to your girl. The album title is Breakfast at Banksy's. Consider it the rare soundtrack for the revolution and the party.
The duo formed following Splash's world tour with his underground cult funk band, Plantlife. Upon its conclusion, the 10-time Grammy-nominated producer and three-time winner decided to leave Miami in favor of Los Angeles. For the native Angeleno, this was where it all began. He'd seen incredible success over the previous decade, producing for Cee-Lo, Alicia Keys, Kendrick Lamar, and a slew of others. But he wanted to return to his roots and make a pure hip-hop album, a passion project with no input from industry types.
"I decided that if I was going to make true art, then I needed to work with the best of the best...the Picasso of the West Coast," says Splash. "And everyone who comes from LA knows that it doesn't get any better than Ras Kass."
If you're unfamiliar with the Waterproof MC, you need to stop reading this and listen to Soul on Ice, Rasassination, and any of the tracks bodied by the Golden State Warriors (Ras, Saafir and Xzibit). Once you've done that, you understand why the Carson-bred rap beast is one of the coldest MCs to ever hypnotize an audience.
But neither Splash nor Ras has even done anything quite like Semi Hendrix-probably because no one has ever done anything quite like Semi-Hendrix. It's a warped psychedelic odyssey glimpsed via two brilliant minds in a crooked world.
Produced entirely by Splash, the instrumentals recall classic genre-liquefying experiments like DJ Shadow's Endtroducing and Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde. You can file Semi Hendrix somewhere between Gnarls Barkley and Run the Jewels.
Faded acid-washed freak-outs fade out from raunchy comedy clips. There are shredding guitar solos and nimble funk lines.
Meanwhile, Ras Kass spits flames about Brooklyn hipsters, greedy record labels, and Capitalist inequality. He interweaves Thomas Paine's anti-Colonial tract, Common Sense with the rapper born Lonnie Lynn. In the course of four bars, he'll slip in references to Biz Markie, Star Trek, Duke Ellington, and Cab Calloway.
The intellect is staggering, but never self-serious. He'll go from talking about squirters to indicting "Stop and Frisk" policy. The sound is kaleidoscopic. Nothing is sacred. Guest spots include Brothers Voodoo, Cee-Lo and Raheem DeVaughn, Teedra Moses, Kurupt, Montego Meli, Alice Russell, Wrekonize, and Jessica. But for all its virtuosity, this is 100 percent raw. If you wanted to know who Semi Hendrix are, the answer is simple: they're the wildest style.

Альбом, который, видимо, обречен стать единственным полноценным релизом Rhymesayers Entertainment в этом году, скорее хотелось бы видеть среди пары-тройки крепких верняков от такого гиганта, но уж никак не в гордом одиночестве, пусть даже прошлый год северяне провели ударно. Первая запись с лэйблом совершенно непонятного персонажа по имени Prof, известного пока только своим умением повалять дурака, да ещё и в такой компании, пока это выглядит как не самая удачная шутка, хочется верить, что этот парень в чем-то действительно хорош.
Description:
Prof, the newest signee to Rhymesayers Entertainment, is already a legend on the southside of Minneapolis. With three self-released albums, plus three additional mixtapes of exclusive material already under his belt, it should come as no surprise he's been tirelessly making music for over a decade. While he's continued to develop over that time, both musically and artistically, he's also fine-tuned his live show to such a spectacle that he's undeniably made a lasting impression on the scene. As an entertainer, Prof shows incredible diversity. Whether artistically, or characteristically, he purposefully maneuvers between the parallels of inconceivable experiences and extraordinary fantasies. From the factual to the fictitious, there's seemingly no end to the number of unique narratives or deliveries at his disposal. Once considered the underdog, Prof has fought his way to the forefront of the scene and amassed a ravenous following along the way. On Liability, Prof describes our world; a place where a harsh environment and poor circumstances can make someone abandon their expectations and change their moral compass. The album takes the listener on a journey of incredible range, and ultimately calls attention to the often unseen conditions that lead individuals down the regrettable paths of being fighters, drunks, drug addicts- or simply put, liabilities. With impressive guest appearances from Tech N9ne, Waka Flocka Flame and Petey Pablo, and a list of production credits that includes Ant (Atmosphere), Aesop Rock, Big Chocolate, Mux Mool, Curtiss King and more, this album is without a doubt Prof's greatest work to date.

Добавка 10 треков к оригинальной версии первого альбома супер-группы из Нью-Йорка, одноимённая пластинка вышла в 2012 году. Состав коллектива: A.G., O.C., Dave Dar, Kool Keith, Kurious, L-Fudge, Lord Tariq, Roc Marciano и Ray West (основной продюсер).
Description:
Originally released back in 2012, the Red Apples 45 collective LUV NY, featuring AG & OC of DITC, Roc Marciano, Kurious, Dave Dar, Kool Keith, and producer Ray West, set the Bronx-based record label in a new direction.
The collaborative album received a placement at number 7 in the the Village Voice's Ten Best NYC Rap Albums of 2012 and caught a spot on HipHop Dx's weekly "Slept-On But Dope Hip Hop Songs" at the end of that year with the Ray West & AG track "These Rappers Under The Hex".
In 2013, the LUV NY concept returned for a limited-edition cassette-only EP titled The Snake Tape. This featured some of the original cast and new appearances from Lord Tariq & L Fudge.
Now in 2015, courtesy of Red Apples 45 & Fat Beats Distribution, LUV NY finally gets a double vinyl treatment, combining both releases as the LUV NY Collective. This includes new artwork and an unreleased song featuring AG & Lord Tariq. This will be the first of several major releases for the Red Apples 45 camp this year.

Первые две части вышли в 2010 году тоже одним релизом, сам Damu The Fudgemunk говорит, что они были встречены аудиториеей неожиданно хорошо и поэтому на пятилетие серии он приготовил кое-что особенное - три новых "HISS". Радуемся, если до этого кому-то было недостаточно невыпущенных нарезок Damu. А сам он уже готовится к 2020 году и десятилетию сериала, надеюсь, жёсткие диски к тому времени станут повместительнее.

Первый альбом Jeremiah Givens или просто JGivens, записанный с командой Humble Beast. В прошлом году лэйбл представил этого исполнителя вместе с его дебютным независимым альбомом "El v. Envy", который вышел независимо ещё в 2013 году. Второй релиз Humble Beast в этом году.
Description:
On JGivens Humble Beast debut, “Fly Exam”, JGivens acknowledges man’s desire to soar to great heights on Side A: “So High”, but gives warning to the wearers of wax wings on Side B: “So Low”. A master of metaphors, JGivens lyrical artistry will have you peeling off new layers of meaning with each playthrough. As a whole, “Fly Exam” is an examination of the human heart. It exposes our desires while questioning our motives. Is our desire to draw near to the Son, or to fly too close to the sun?

Kooley High вернулись после продолжительного отсутствия, с 2011 года группа из Северной Каролины не выпускала новой музыки, как раз с тех пор, как вышел их "David Thompson". "Heights" - EP с достойным хронометражем больше 30 мин. - хорошая компенсация для тех, кто ждал релизов от Tab-One и компании. Rapsody больше не в группе.
