Jay Boogie – Richmond Son

With the release of Black Messiah, I wanted to give folks who aren’t as familiar with @thedangelo a taste of what came before and give fans a nice likkle mix to enjoy.

I have been actually thinking about doing a D’angelo mix for a minute; apropos that BM dropped when it did.

There are a lot of ways this could have gone & there may be more to come but after a PK sesh with the Aerizer, this is how I was feeling.

Dig it.

#tbt Frek Sho – Patience

Jamil The DJ & Mav-One – Party & Bullshit, Vol. One

To get your weekend poppin’ early, you would be remiss not to have this on repeat.

Bundown (@bundownwpg) familia Jamil The DJ (@jamilthedj) and Mav-One (@maverik_one) have put together the first of a new mix series for your #turnipszn (aka the holidays).

If you’re in Winnipeg, you can catch Mav every Friday at Carbone for 850 Fridays and Jamil at District Stop for Cinema Saturdays and Greenroom on Fridays for FWords.

Mike WiLL Made-It – Swerve (ft ILOVEMAKONNEN)

Mike WiLL Made-It (@mikewillmadeit) is one of the most consistent young rap producers in the game right now and it would be criminal to not acknowledge his new mixtape, Ransom, which happened to drop the same day that D’Angelo released Black Messiah.

Its anticipated release was realized when the producer decided to drop it early Monday.

He brings his inner circle and some heavy hitters for it with appearances by Rae Sremmurd, Future, Juicy J, Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar (on the well-executed Buy The World), Dej Loaf, Migos, Rich Homie Quan and this guy, ILOVEMAKONNEN (@ilovemakonnen5d).

Ransom Is available now on Dat Piff.

Bishop Nehru – Breath(Prana/Spirit)

A new heat rock from Bishop Nehru (@bishopnehru) featuring his own production reminds you why you got into his vibe on NehruvianDOOM.

Recorded at “4:50 in the morning” after his “green headphones just broke” seems like a great hour for him to hit that button.

Now, check how the Brooklyn emcee sounds over a 9th Wonder (@9thwondermusic) beat…

Potatohead People – Explosives (ft Illa-J, Moka Only)

When this project – helmed by Montreal’s Nick Wisdom (@nickwisdom) and Vancouver’s AstroLogical (@nateastrobeats) was first announced, the biggest question was how Illa-J would sound over production that did not come from his brother.

With Moka Only (@mokaonly) in tow – who has also recorded with Dilla (@officialjdilla1) – the four have crafted a very comfortable space for J and Moke’s bars.

Brooklyn-based label Bastard Jazz invested in this project and they’re probably glad they did with the soulful, jazzy, boom bap provided by the four notables.

Explosives is available on iTunes and is worth every penny.

Cookin Soul – With UR Love

The incredibly talented production/DJ duo known as Cookin Soul recently dropped this banger and announced they are working on a full-length for release in 2015.

And all was right in the world.

RossFit

One of the biggest men in rap took it to new personal heights when he started training with CrossFit Games competitor, Garret Fisher (@garretmfisher).

That’s right.

Rick Ro$$ (@rickyrozay) is a crossfitter.

The promotional clip features Dave Castro (@thedavecastro) and breaks down just how Rozay got down with CrossFit.

The big man gets props over here especially after two seizures in 2011.

Houseshoes – Live at NTS, 9/14/14

Houseshoes (@houseshoes) was one of the faves when Bundown did the Dillauary special two years ago on fuelgoodradio.

He unabashed thoughts on the lack of quality rap in the market, the handling of Dilla’s estate and his own gifted ear for A&R-ing artists for his own Street Corner Music make him an interesting and talented producer.

As a DJ, his King James Version mix stands as one of the best tributes to Dilla out here.

If you have bumped Let It Go, The Gift or any of the releases on SCM but haven’t heard him spin live, this will be a treat.

As an added bonus, here is his Boiler Room set in NYC:

OB Obrien – Schemin’ Up (ft Drake, P. Reign)

Coming from the Top Szn contingent of OVO Sound (@ovosound), OB O’Brien (@itsob) doesn’t stray far from the front door for assistance as Drake (@drake) and P. Reign (@preign) join him for his latest, Schemin’ Up.

OB is onto something. Kinda.

He has his own flow and manages to distinguish himself from the OVO stable – which is necessary for him to have his own identity.

His last single, Hazelton Trump, was featured on tue-mix: 7814.
