Shut Up And Dance How The West Was Won Cover+Tracklist

2009-11-03T21:09:00.002-05:00

Celebrating 20 years in the scene, Shut Up & Dance (the production duo and the imprint) are legend. They're some of the first examples of legal action coming down on the use of samples, and have also created some classic tunes. This month, their How The West Was Won 1989-2009 album is set to drop; over this sprawling 3-disc opus, you'll get a proper education, esp. w/ those early Ragga Twins tunes! Even DnB selectors like DJ Hype and Taxman make appearances... should be a sick comp! Check out the tracklist.

St. Joe Louis "Good Morning"

2009-11-03T10:25:00.004-05:00

St. Joe Louis "Good Morning" (prod. by Elete): Another project I got the opportunity to listen to was St. Joe Louis' 30,000ft High & Rising. These niggas call it a mixtape, but the project flows like an album. We'll call it a superdemo. Anyways, this is the first single from that release, and is a thrashing wake-up anthem. It's got some thumping drums, guitars and piano, and they make sure to big up NJ and TX.

2009-11-03T09:31:00.003-05:00

Junclassic "Werld (Husky Remix)": Here's a remix of a cut taken from Jun's Late Nites & Early Mournings EP, sounding like some peacoat blaxploitation shit. Jun's had a good year this year... I was just saying to him, his name has been bubblin' on the Internets something crazy. Hopefully he can keep that forward motion going into 2010.

Elucid The Sub Bass Diet Cover

2009-11-03T09:07:00.003-05:00

Overnight, the homey Elucid hit me with the artwork for The Sub Bass Diet (Adventures in Lower Level Frequencies and High Vibrations), which is finally dropping on November 10th. Original production coming from Metabeats, Brook D'Leau (of J*Davey), Von Pea (of Tanya Morgan) & DN3, with some found sounds from producers like Loefah, Kode9, Joker and more. Artwork from treezynyc.

I've had the privilege of sitting with this project for a bit, and its an ill journey through varying sounds. Elucid himself is already a channeler of leftfield vibes, just by the way he can flip and boucne his vox. Add to that the fact that dude is stringing together some sick lyrics, making you SEE what the fuck he's going through (wait for "Bad Dreamz"), you'll see how paltry most MCs who rock over dubstep and other sounds really are. I'm fully expecting more producers and DJs picking up on his talent(s) after partaking in The Sub Bass Diet. Consider yourselves... WARNED!

previous Elucid "Take Charge"

Tef Poe ft. Rockwell Knuckles "Underhanded Plan"

2009-11-02T20:21:00.002-05:00

Tef Poe ft. Rockwell Knuckles "Underhanded Plan" (prod. by Trifeckta): Word is this premiered on November 1st on Hot 104.1; Tef told me he bigged me up on the radio, which I appreciate. Dope shit recognize dope shit. Tef got some ish brewing, and with the nigra like Rockwell backing him on this one, its murdaaaaa! Bass is deep, unleash this one on your speakerboxes.

Cymarshall Law "RudeBoy Gutter Shit"

2009-11-02T16:25:00.001-05:00

Cymarshall Law ft. E. Ness & Block McCloud "RudeBoy Gutter Shit" (prod by. Mr. Joeker): That's a crazy random ill-ass line-up for this track that lives up to its title. You looking for something to keep you on point for the cooler months? Turn this one up, loud!

previous Cymarshall Law "No Fear '09"

Tone Liv "Splish Splash"

2009-11-02T16:07:00.003-05:00

Tone Liv "Splish Splash" (prod. by The Custodian Of Records): Shouts to Drew for passing this cut from his forthcoming The Custodian and Friends project; something about Tone's heat over that infectious melody has me open. NJ keeps beating the fuck out of the rest of the US (no diss to my non-NJ heads); just a lot of talent in the Garden State.

If you fuck with this, check out Custodian's She Hate Me LP, which is a 25 track instrumental opus made to promote his Burton Music LP.

PenDragon 24

Bmore's own PenDragon is the Hip-Hop Jack Bauer; he wrote, recorded and mixed this project in the span of 24 hours. Dude is a beast on the mic, and I can only imagine how focused he was working this one out. Peep game!

RTD & BPA Presents J. Slikk The Drum Major Vol. III Cover

2009-11-02T15:46:00.003-05:00

Been talking to J. Slikk about completing the heat he has on deck. This mixtape is one of the projects BPA is putting out before year's end. Some freshness on this, from original tracks from cats like Junclassic, Cy Yung, R.O.E., Indy Sparks and many more, to a grip of remixes he's done. Should be out come week's end - keep it locked!

Moeses Soulright The 2nd Porches Corners Streetlights

2009-11-02T15:39:00.002-05:00

Young Moe, aka Moeses Soulright The 2nd, has put out a free album of unreleased material from 2001 to 2007. He describes it as "Boom-bap basement hip hop in the truest sense. Equipment propped on a broken table. Broken windows boarded up with cardboard, the outside noise only adding to the raw gutter vibe. One speaker, no headphones. Empty bottles and gutted swishers. Fuck it.."; if that doesn't get you interested, I don't know what will.
