If you loved the sound of Aftermath that dominated music back in the early 2000s, check out snippets from the collection of Ronnie Rockwell. This collection features the music of it's CEO Dr. Dre, plus the talented producers who he recruited at the time. Beats included at his YouTube channel include music by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Focus..., Jake One, Mr. Porter, J.R. Rotem and others.
The crew at Blap On The Radio sit with a producer whom they all admire, the innovative and prolific sound provider of numerous bangers of the new millenium and one-half of Self Scientific, DJ Khalil. This interview should be an ear-opening one for those who seek strong leadership in the form of memorable Hip Hop as a collective of producers and engineers get in-depth about Khalil's unique technical and creative approach to production. The Cali native has provided the musical support from everyone to Dr. Dre, Jay-Z and The Game to Chino XL, Chace Infinite and a host of promising up and coming MCs.
Get ready for one of the rawest lyricists out of Detroit on "Bottoms Up", the third LP from former Shady Records artist Obie Trice. He's independent now as an artist but still maintains the quality sound and approach to Hip Hop music he's had over the years. Here are words from Aftermath Records on the new project:
"Six years in the making, Obie Trice is finally ready to release Bottoms Up, a follow-up to his 2006 album Second Round’s On Me. Despite severing ties with Shady Records in 2008, Trice has managed to rope in guest verses from Eminem and Dr. Dre on the new record, the first release from his independent Black Market Entertainment/Fontana Distro label. Bottoms Up will be released on April 3, 2012."
Check out the audio below and pre-order the album at iTunes.

Great way to present the often-used idea of reminiscing on back in the days in an original way through Hip Hop songwriting. "Just 4 U" [feat. L.E., Young RJ, Dae One and Willie B.] by Focus is off the forthcoming album "Music of the Misinterpreted" (Deluxe Edition).
This was a great find, and many thanks to SoulCulture.co.uk for the audio! I'm always eager to hear the extra work from the stash of Aftermath-affiliated producers and alot the production which has been made for NaS over the years is intriguing. Denaun's sounds on this instrumental project are soulful with a foundation of strong drums and rhythm, listening to the different moods provokes some thought of what gems NaS might have written to each track.

"What Can I"
I haven't heard a Hip Hop song which paints the image of success quite like this, "Schemin" brings an uplifting feeling of music and life aspirations from beginning to end. With sweeping brass horn sections and a calming piano melody, Dawaun composes a vivid and inspiring view of coming from nothing to something in life. The words of this song are that of a person who has come along way to share his experience with those still on their way to the top, Dawaun takes a moment to reminisce on his humble beginnings while enjoying current success.
Dawaun Parker is gearing up for the release of his EP tentatively titled, “The Decision”, due early 2011. Parker stepped from behind the beats onto the microphone for his very own song, “Lost” – the first offering from his EP, co-produced by Dr. Dre as the official introduction of Dawaun Parker.
