In the current underground Hip Hop scene where more and more MCs are rhyming about slinging drugs, this food for thought from Ghost helps to provide a positive balance.
"Back in 2013 I put together a video concept for the #fabreezebrothers joint heroes of the east feat Paten Locke . We shot some test footage with the help of bro @iamchriszino . The plan was to tighten everything up then shoot it for REALS. Unfortunately, that never happened for whatever reason and the footage has been just sitting around. On August 5th the homie Paten passed after a bout with cancer... he never got to see the footage. So I decided to do a little sumthin with it and share it with the world. Shout out to the big homie Joe Conzo hip hop OG , photographer , 9-11 first responder/ cancer survivor. He's got a saying that's most applicable...#FUCKCANCER. Nuff respect to @lello_lehllu for the artwork. This is dedicated to the memory of paten locke, my homie jason J2 rasmus and anyone who lost someone to this bullshit.hard to believe they're no longer on this physical plane ONE LOVE" - Rez Ones

Entire project produced by @teaseacaruana. Featuring guest appearances from Apani, BusCrates, Dr. Becket, DJ Presyce, Emskee, Jack Jones (Audessey), Jazz Spastiks, Jesus Mason & UGeorge. Cover art and design by @mr_krum_graphic_design as ALL of my releases have been since the "Gone Diggin" 45.
Cover photo has a special connection to the album. Shot taken on my 4th birthday on the Coney Island boardwalk & surrounded by two of my protectors in life - my older sister Darlene and my pops, both of who have transitioned but their spirit lives on through my music. My sister taught me how to read and write, and my dad was also a songwriter so these genes are inherited. It's a simple project. Nothing flashy. No gimmicks. No skits. No street level content. Just something everyone can listen to time and time again & hopefully be able to connect with. THANK YOU to all of you who have been riding with me since the Jonzhäft era. PEACE!" - Oxygen

So put your hands together and show grace to one of the most remarkable beatsmiths from The A.
"This week right off the Beat*Society live show, we invited Tall Black Guy to Little Africa Studios to talk. We got into his early influences, where Hip-Hop is going, the loss of regional identity, how most creative energy is nothing more than commercials for corporations, what it means to stay relevant and so much more. It was an an amazing weekend, ending with this great conversation.
If you already haven't do yourself a favor and check his music out! This week's podcast is scored by Tall Black Guy" - BEAT*SOCIETY

"At the height of Deodato’s productivity in the early 70s, Os Catedraticos 73 was recorded between Rio de Janeiro and New York, featuring a Brazilian rhythm section including Azymuth drummer Ivan Mamão Conti, percussion master Orlandivo, and Sergio Barroso on bass, while the horn section features some of the big apple’s top players from the CTI in-house brass.
A firm favourite with rare-groove enthusiasts and fans of Latin jazz alike, Deodato melds the musical sensibility of post-bossa nova Brazilian jazz with North American soul & funk, and the explosive Latin influences of 70s New York. Os Catedraticos 73 certainly swings harder than some of Deodato’s earlier releases and opening track ‘Arranha Ceu’ (Skyscrapers) is a euphoric dance floor classic, which has been lighting up clubs for years.
With the blessing of Deodato himself, this official Far Out reissue has been remastered and pressed to 180g vinyl, with replica original artwork from the OG Equipe release." - Far Out Recordings

About "Day By Day" by Back East:
"A masterpiece in the field of dreamy psych pop that should have been issued five to seven years before. THE FIFTH DIMENSION might be a comparison but there is more. Jazz is one of the basic elements here, dreamy colorful pop and soul music are the others. The mixture is exciting despite it’s relaxed atmosphere. All thrillers here on the song front, great cover versions included turned into this band’s very own songs."
About "Released" by Cook County
"Pop oriented yet classic funk, which sounds like a modernized version of SLY & THE FAMILY STONE or Betty Davis with a silky and smooth sound but simmering, hot blooded performance. Memorable tunes and a hand for outstanding melodies make this a must have for all funk fanatics out there. Bandleader Zach Prather is a prolific blues musician these days living in Switzerland."

GKCB will be releasing their newest album Upscale Madhouse in March of 2018 and studio reports suggest that if anything the work is even more refined, abstract, and compelling than in the first release. GKCB is excited to announce that as a part of their evolution and in responding to demand they will at long last be delivering live performances, which promise to be a fascinating mix of rock, jazz, fusion, and funk. The first few shows have been packed-house affairs and extremely well received."

"“I just wanted to be honest about everything, from my musical influences to my story,” muses Neal Francis. After years of dishonest living—consumed by drugs, alcohol, and addiction—such sincerity is jarring from the 30-year-old Chicago-based musician. Liberated from a self-destructive past and born anew in sobriety, Francis has captured an inspired collection of songs steeped in New Orleans rhythms, Chicago blues, and early 70s rock n’ roll. His music evokes a bygone era of R&B’s heyday while simultaneously forging a new path on the musical landscape. Ohio-based Karma Chief Records (a subsidiary of rising soul label Colemine Records) released two songs, “These Are The Days” and “Changes, Pt. 1,” in early 2019 and will follow with the full LP Changes on September 20, 2019." - More at https://www.nealfrancis.com/bio
