With Spitta’s flow near-untouchable and Alchemist’s driven, soul power, the last couple leaks have left me feeling that this is set to be a tremendous alignment.
Severely, eagerly awaiting that Covert Coup tape, 7 days to go.
Star Slinger just put out this new mixtape featuring songs from the likes of Hudson Mohawke, 213, Sa-Ra, J.Dilla, Daedelus, Kindred the Family Soul and more.
…Tell me that list doesn’t wet your appetite? R&B/Soul/Hip Hop heads – get involved. Listen & download via the player below.

If you missed out on this gem the first time around, lucky for you Onra’s decided to re-release it as a free download, available to all.
Escape to 2007 and revisit the sounds of Byron on the synths and Onra on the beats. The slight downside of this gift, is that like a lot of talented musicians out there, Onra did not make any money off this LP and thought heck – might as well give it away for free, officially.
Download and enjoy, but not too much.
P.O.S remixes TV On The Radio’s ‘Will Do’, the bands latest single off their forthcoming album Nine Types of Light (April 12th).
… I actually think I prefer this version. I like P.O.S’ drums – but that’s pretty standard, right?

Full Crate put together this 45 minute mix called Subs, Dust & Synths for VageGasten. The mix pretty much does what it says on the tin – expect “beats, subs, dubs and more dusty, yet energetic tunes!”.
Got some HudMo, Salva, Lunice & Onra in here – full track list after the jump…

Marsha Ambrosius calls on Busta for the remix of ‘Far Away’, taken off her debut solo album Late Nights & Early Morning.
My position on remixes has always been – they needs to bring something extra that the original didn’t. When it doesn’t – I don’t really see the point. Busta’s additional verse during the opening does absolutely nothing to better the song or even give it a new prospective. And, despite knowing that this song could mean different things for different people, it’s original message (conveyed beautifully in it’s video) of the complexities of being openly gay in the black community was quite powerful – Busta’s verse distracts from that and makes the song about something else entirely, which I think is a shame. If he confronted those issues, maybe offered something from his prospective – that too would have been quite powerful. But I guess that’s asking a little too much from a rapper, eh?
What happens when you take one slightly unhinged post-adolescent and merge his maniacal musings with a known Victor Frankenstein of genre perversions?
It results in this madness remix of one of the dopest joints off Bastard, now bastardized brilliantly if albeit without neural mercy by Stones Throw’s James Pants.
Tyler is a confessed fan of Pants and allegedly handed over the stems of ‘Seven’ for remixing himself. Pants self-titled next offering is out May 5th.
