Lessondary - Re:Scheduled (Ahead Of Schedule Remixes) (2017)

||| Category: Hip-Hop
||| Release Date: April 7, 2017
||| Label: HiPNOTT Records
                                     

Получившийся очень невзрачным прошлогодний альбом коллектива Lessondary обзавёлся новым продакшеном. Амбициозный проект вашингтонского лэйбла HiPNOTT Records объединил дуэт Tanya Morgan, бывшего участника группы Ilyas Nashid, Elucid,  Jermiside, Rob Cave (экс Spec Boogie), Che Grand, Aeon и Brickbeats - наверно даже поклонники HiPNOTT производства согласятся, что большинство из этих исполнителей и продюсеров знавали лучшие времена, чем "Ahead Of Schedule". Посмотрим, что изменилось на альбоме ремиксов, состав продюсеров почти тот же.

||| Label: Fill In The Breaks
||| Produced by: ECID, DJ Name
                           

Яркий представитель Миннеаполиса и абстрактного хип-хопа Jason Mckenzie aka ECID напоминает о себе очередным альбомом, который он на этот раз целиком спродюсировал сам. ECID не первый год сотрудничает с гитаристом Jason "Phingaz" Brown, лучше всего это сказалось на альбоме "Pheromone Heavy" двухлетней давности, "HowToFakeYourOwnDeath" стал продолжением их союза. Чувство юмора всё также не оставляет ветерана "другого" хип-хопа, что хорошо заметно по видео "Breaking Up With Death".

Забияка из Новой Зеландии с необычным флоу Louie Knuxx в прошлом году обзавёлся ещё одним альбомом в сольную коллекцию.

Голос Goapele, возможно, самый красивый из тех, что мы услышим в 2017 году - певица из Нью-Йорка с южноафриканскими и еврейскими корнями выпустила новый альбом, который формально EP, но имеет 10 песен и почти пол часа музыки, что вполне нормально для обычного соул альбома.

Cas One Vs Figure - So Our Egos Don't Kill Us (2017)

||| Category: Hip-Hop
||| Release Date: April 21, 2017
||| Label: Strange Famous Records
||| Produced by: Figure
                 

Эмси Cas One и электронный диджей Figure уже имеют опыт совместного творчества, а на Strange Famous Records они становятся полноценным дуэтом и выпускают альбом "So Our Egos Don't Kill Us" при участии P.O.S., Del the Funky Homosapien, B. Dolan и основателя лэйбла Sage Francis. Интересы инди-рэппера и представителя танцевальной музыки, возможно, никогда бы не пересеклись, если бы не то, что они оба из города Эвансвилл, что в штате Индиана.

Description:

Known individually throughout indie-rap circles and the EDM world, long-time collaborators Cas One and Figure have made their artistic union official with their signing to Strange Famous Records under the moniker “CAS ONE Vs. FIGURE.” Their first full-length group album, “SO OUR EGOS DON’T KILL US”, drops April 21, 2017.

These monsters of the Midwest scene hail from Evansville, Indiana, USA – not the first place on the map that leaps to mind when considering incubators for cutting-edge compositions in their respective genres, but both have managed to build cult-like followings for their individual endeavors. Cas is best known for his stellar 2013 solo LP “The Monster & The Wishing Well”, and respected by contemporaries and fans alike for his passionate performances.

In the DJ realm, Figure has built a devoted following worldwide with his signature brand of bass-heavy beats, touring the festival circuit and drawing enormous crowds that bridge the EDM and hip-hop communities. “So Our Egos Don’t Kill Us” is the masterful result of their meshed talents, melding their starkly individual styles into a complimentary blend of dense, high energy beats and bold, thoughtful wordplay.

On the first single, “Staying Gold”, Cas portrays Ponyboy Curtis of The Outsiders as one of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse, while songs like "The Devil & Jacob Snider” feature soulful horn bursts piercing an atmosphere of sullen, smoky confessions. It’s an impressive juggling act between the somber and absurd, played out against a sonic landscape painted by a steady yet impressively inventive hand.

Cas One Vs. Figure are joined by a cadre of indie rap all-stars on their debut outing, including appearances by Sage Francis, B. Dolan, P.O.S., Del The Funky Homosapien, and many more. SOEDKU will be supported on “The Four Horsemen Tour” this Spring when Cas and Figure join B. Dolan, DJ Abilities, and Dope KNife on a full U.S. run.

Этот канадский дуэт - на самом деле трио: Fortunato - эмси из Торонто, вертушечник DJ IV из провинции Новая Шотландия, а продюсер альбома "2 Bad Dudes" Juliano представляет провинцию Нью-Брансуик.

Description:

Toronto Born MC Fortunato has teamed up with Nova Scotia’s own DJ IV and New Brunswick producer Juliano to create “2 Bad Dudes”. Recorded in one session which lasted five hours, the album pays homage to the mixtapes of old and has no features from other artists. Expertly blended into one continuous mix and featuring beats from only one producer creates a seamless musical landscape for Fortunato. He takes full advantage with tracks like “Johnsonville” and “Built Like This” to burn anyone who wants to test. Fortunato will be touring across Canada this June alongside Doom Squad so stay tuned for upcoming show announcements.

Awon & Linkrust - Moon Beams (2017)

||| Category: Hip-Hop
||| Release Date: April 17, 2017
||| Label: S/R
||| Produced by: Linkrust
                           
Awon в связке с французским продюсером  Linkrust, представляющим город Гренобль.

Description:

Moon Beams is a project by rapper Awon and producer Linkrust that takes the listener on a spaced out afrofuturistic journey through the streets as they exist today, yesterday, and possibly the future. The music by Linkrust is obscure, raw, and gritty yet beautiful at times composed as it is an alien operating on a different frquency. The accompanying lyrics of Awon only enhance the vibration making this musical offering one that should be listened to as a mix or in one sitting to gain the full experience of this genre bending journey into another time, place, and possibly galaxy.

MKDex: S. Fidelity - A Safe Place to Be Naked (2017)

||| Category: Instrumental
||| Release Date: May 5, 2017
||| Label: Jakarta Records
||| Produced by: S. Fidelity
                                   

В течении двух лет S. Fidelity трудился над дебютным альбомом в своей берлинской студии, результат усилий - "A Safe Place to Be Naked" - инструментальный опус от молодого швейцарского продюсера, готового обеспечить немецкое качество, которым славится Jakarta Records. S. Fidelity обитает не только в Берлине, но ещё и в Лондоне, говорят, любит голосовые сэмплы и даже использует свой голос для этого. Прежде выпускал только EP, первый из них "Five to Nine" вышел в 2014 году.

Description:

“A Safe Place to Be Naked” is S. Fidelity’s debut album, which will be released on May 5th via Jakarta Records. It features 12 tracks, capturing the producer’s quest for a fresh sound, which he elaborated over the last two years, locked in his tiny basement studio in Berlin. Evolving from there the he has also released an EP with Feelin Music in 2014, and “Sidekicks”, a joint project with long-term friend and collaborator Bluestaeb in 2016.
By working with artists like Tru Thoughts singer Harleighblu and label mate JuJu Rogers as well as fellow producers Bluestaeb and Shuffle Jack, his LP “A Safe Place to Be Naked” plays with sampled vocals and even his own voice – often distorted, but still present.

Career Crooks - Good Luck With That (2017)

||| Category: Hip-Hop
||| Release Date:  May 19, 2017
||| Label: Urbnet Records
||| Produced by: Small Professor
                                                   

Рэппер Zilla Rocca и продюсер Small Professor вместе составляют дуэт Career Crooks и половину группы Wrecking Crew, куда помимо них входят Curly Castro и PremRock. Прогрессивный филадельфтйский хип-хоп нашёл себе место в Канаде, дебютная запись Career Crooks выходит на Urbnet, который я обычно называю канадским Mello Music Group.

Zilla Rocca известен по дуэту Clean Guns со своим давним другом, эмси Nico the Beast. Small Professor имеет богатый опыт сотрудничества с именитыми андеграунд-рэпперами благодаря своему альбому "Gigantic Vol. 1" (2012), а с Guilty Simpson был записан EP "Highway Robbery" (2013), и, конечно же, как любой уважающий себя битмейкер современности он имеет и солидный склад инструменталов на bandcamp.

Description:

BIO:

Career Crooks consists of long time Wrecking Crew collaborators Zilla Rocca, and Small Professor. Steeped in the late 1980’s to early 1990’s Career Crooks coupled street smart blue collar futurism, with a modernist approach, launching them to the level of current luminaries like KA, Roc Marci, and Westside Gunn. "Good Luck With That" is the cross-section of hip hop’s fascination with its early days, while still touching on all of the cultural touchstones of current times.

Before signing with URBNET for this project, Zilla and Small Professor were individually active and engaged within the indie and underground scene, regarded as veterans in their element. Their monumental contributions have garnered them much deserved respect and recognition.

Zilla has released numerous albums on his own imprint, Threedollarpistol Music, and via World Around Records. He has been featured in numerous heavy hitter publications such as Huffington Post, HipHopDX, Okayplayer, LA Weekly, Philly Weekly and Complex. Small Professor has continued to develop to his impressive “Jawn” series catalogue, which collectively spans nearly seven years. He has also worked with Coalmine Records on his 2013 project with Guilty Simpson.

They have recorded, collaborated, and shared the stage with a veritable selection of “who’s who” artists of indie music such as, Mount Kimbie, Shlohmo, Open Mike Eagle, PremRock, Guilty Simpson, Boldy James, AG, DJ Revolution, Blueprint, Von Pea, Elucid, Stik Figa, Mega Ran, Statik Selektah, Roc Marciano, Geechi Suede of Camp Lo, The Kid Daytona, doseone, billy woods, L'Orange, Lushlife, Uncommon NASA, Starkey, Black Sheep, B Dolan, Mega Ran, Nocando, POS, The Dopplegangaz, K Flay, Astronautilus, Armand Hammer and Rob Sonic.

ALBUM INFO:

Career Crooks is the culmination of the longtime collaborative relationship between Zilla Rocca & Small Professor. “Good Luck With That" is the kind of brilliance that could only be born out of that specific type of familiarity. Small Professor’s production is the spiritual cousin of RZA’s work on “Cuban Linx" at times, harnessing the moody atmosphere that breathed life into that project, but simultaneously feels like twilight in Philadelphia. An undeniable declaration of one’s own art.

Zilla takes the mood set by Small Pro and runs with it, dropping a seamless combination of stream-of-consciousness raps intertwined with expert story telling. The combination is a mesmerizing originality that taps into the feeling that we all had when we first fell in love with the form.

"Good Luck With That" features an array of guest appearances from, PremRock, DJ Manipulator, Curly Castro, ALASKA, My Man Shafe, Defcee, s.habIB, Dewey Bryan, and MaLLy. While each artist contributes texture to the flavor, it is the team work between Zilla and Small Pro that really makes the project cook.

With "Good Luck With That", Career Crooks are placing their stamp on the modern rap renaissance. It is a perfect and vital addition to the genre, and it deserves your attention.

Flobots - NOENEMIES (2017)

||| Category: Hip-Hop
||| Release Date: May 5, 2017 
||| Label: Flobots Music
                                               

Рэпперы, рокеры и активисты из Денвера Flobots вернулись со своим 4-м альбомом после 5-летней паузы. Релиз "NOENEMIES" стал возможен благодаря компании на Kickstarter, запущенной ещё в 2015 году и легко собравшей целевые $50,000. В этом году Flobots празднуют 10-летие своей студийной карьеры, и делают это лучшим из возможных способов, доставив новую порцию живой музыки, исполненной протеста и затрагивающей на этот раз темы глобального потепления климата и, разумеется, эмиграции в США.

Description:

American alternative hip-hop band's highly anticipated fourth album, NOENEMIES, is their most ambitious and sophisticated statement to date. NOENEMIES is a body of songs that speaks to the urgency of the current social movement. Each of the tracks on NOENEMIES serves as a powerful, poignant new anthem, packed with surprises both subtle and grand. Taken as a whole, the album is enormous in breadth and electrically charged. When Flobots first catapulted onto the global scene in 2008 with their platinum single 'Handlebars,' it was the fastest charting song debut by a new artist in 10 years. Released during the frenzy of that year' s election, the band' s call to envision "another America" resonated with a generation experiencing a sense of profound political and social awakening. Now, a decade later, amidst a nation taking to the streets, Flobot's are delivering a powerful new batch of protest songs to a new generation.

Marco Polo - Baker's Dozen: Marco Polo (2017)

||| Category: Instrumental
||| Release Date: May 19, 2017
||| Label: Fat Beats Records
||| Produced by: Marco Polo
                                               

Marco Polo - следующий из дюжины Fat Beats, канадец итальянского происхождения, ставший легендой NY андеграунда, представляет свои 12 треков в рамках грандиозной инструментальной серии, достигшей своего экватора - это 6-й выпуск.

Description:

Baker’s Dozen heads back to the East Coast where veteran producer Marco Polo brings a welcomed boom bap flavor to the series. New York City is the birthplace of Fat Beats (and as many would say, Hip-Hop in general) and current NYC resident Marco Polo is true to form in representing our roots.

As always, every volume of BDZ features one artist and twelve tracks (with limited random copies including the Baker’s Dozen bonus track on a flexidisc) and comes equipped with a 5x7” postcard insert that features a photo of the artist’s workspace along with the equipment used in their music making process. A personal narrative of how they got into beat making in the first place is featured on the back of the jacket.

Visually cohesive and packaged with the utmost attention to detail, Baker’s Dozen is a series that speaks up for artists whose craft renders voices superfluous, and whose instrumentals alone suffice to make a statement.

“Another nerdy thing I dig about these versions is most of them are the OG raw MPC versions before they got all mixed down and separated. My fellow producers can relate to the agonizing process of “chasing the demo sound” in the final mix…we wanted to keep it 100% rare and unreleased.”

– Marco Polo

Molecules & Showbiz - A Bronx Tale (2017)

||| Category: Hip-Hop, Instrumental
||| Release Date: May 19, 2017
||| Label: Legion Records
||| Produced by: Showbiz
                                     

Molecules - участник группы из Бронкса The Legion, связанной с дуэтом Showbiz & A.G., выпустившей в 1994 году единственный альбом "Theme + Echo = Krill",  Спустя много лет Molecules возвращается с дебютным EP и Showbiz в качестве напарника. Dres принял участие на "A Bronx Tale", 23 года назад он принимал участие и на альбоме The Legion.

Description:

'A Bronx Tale' is a hard-nosed celebration of Hip-Hop’s birthplace from two of the borough’s toughest artists, Molecules and Showbiz. The rapper-producer duo previously worked together in various capacities, and mainly through their respective crews (The Legion and D.I.T.C.). And with this quick-hitting EP, the two are further cementing their already-storied legacy in Hip-Hop.

Given that it shares its name with a classic crime film, it’s only fitting that A Bronx Tale opens with a quote from the movie and follows in its mafioso footsteps. You can thank ‘Cules’ boot-to-your-throat rhymes for that, and he makes his intentions clear on the fittingly titled lead single, “Bad Guy,” featuring Money Ray. The emcees sound as confident as ever over Showbiz’s hard-hitting instrumental, and the slick talk and head-nodding beats continue from there.

That’s particularly true on the EP’s other single, “Hardcore.” The track features Molecules sharing the booth with Dres of Black Sheep, who the Bronx rapper credits for jumpstarting his career many moons ago. The two gel just as perfectly here as they did over 20 years ago with their tough-guy bars, thanks in part to Showbiz’s teeth gnashed instrumental tying it all together. And then there’s “Good Life,” an anthem for anyone living life to its fullest, and “Heist,” a cinematic narrative that we won’t spoil here.

At its core, 'A Bronx Tale' is the answer for anyone searching for some rugged Boom bap in 2017. ‘Cules and Show aren’t chasing trends on here, or even necessarily rejecting them; they’re just too cats from the Golden Era staying true to themselves. What more do you need?

Junior Makhno - Party Discipline (2017)

||| Category: Hip-Hop
||| Release Date: May 5, 2017
||| Label: Effiscienz
||| Produced by: Junior Makhno
                         

Дебютный альбом французского продюсера Junior Makhno. На его счету уже есть коллабо-LP с рэппером Genocide, боснийцем, живущем в Новой Зеландии, релиз 2011 года назывался "Classified Intelligence". Первый сольный альбом Makhno поддержали Esoteric, Vakill, Chief Kamachi, Planet Asia, Ill Bill и др.

Description:

Junior Makhno sounds like the name of a destructive experimental virus still being studied in an obscure laboratory.
If the very first premises of danger appeared at the end of the 90's, it was not until 2007 that the first victim was declared: Junior Makhno had just won a remix contest organized by Dj Muggs (Cypress Hill) annihilating the other contestants.
Since then the rhythmic flail has never ceased to spread over Hip Hop,
Increasing its vigor beat after beat to finally cross the Atlantic and contaminate the albums of Ill Bill, Goretex (Non Phixion), Vinnie Paz, Jedi Mind Tricks, or Diabolic.

No bling, no sung hooks. No attempt of smoothed arrangements. With his soviet synthesizers, his beats from beyond the grave in which you can imagine swinging scalps coming straight from forgotten B-movies and his oppressing loops carved in soul music and war brass; the Makhno style oozes the street as well as post-apocalyptic moods.
Any emcee thinking about rapping over one of his productions must give up any idea of humming or murmuring sweet nothings.

So, when the time to disclose his devastating beats to the world has finally arrived, Junior Makhno releases an album under his own name and rallies behind him a cohort of emcees ready to brutalize the instrumental, skin the bassline, hit the bars without looking back, without worrying about the damages done.

Ill Bill and Diabolic are still involved, joigning new enthusiasts like Lateb, Chief Kamachi, Dirt Platoon, Vic Spencer, Vendetta Kingz, Planet Asia, IDE & Alucard, Esoteric & Vakill.
Rhyming while being perfused by a deleterious infusion applied by Junior Makhno, becoming voluntarily the actors of the fourteen tracks of Party discipline.
Fourteen tracks kept under pressure by Dj Djaz & Dj Nix'On, fourteen suffocating joints where even instrumental breaks don't allow to have a life-saving breath of fresh air.

Hope has packed up. Disfigured, Boom bap is on its knees, ready to receive its lethal injection.

TRACKLIST:
1. Call To Arm (Cuts by Dj Djaz)
2. Reversal Of Fortune (Ft. Ill Bill)
3. Stay Of Execution (Ft. Goretex)
4. Death Wish (Ft. Lateb)

На своём более позднем релизе "Antiphon" британский продюсер, композитор и пианист Alfa Mist имел дело с взрослым, джазовым звучанием, в чём могли убедиться читатели MakKEYDay, а на первом альбоме музыканта, который назывался "Nocturne" его инструменты смешиваются с хип-хоп и соул вокалом, что тоже звучит отлично
