Latest yawn from Super Nice family member Ralph Rip Shit and producer Jeejaa, known from our John Frost release. Associated Minds once again coming through with the goodness. Be sure to grab that free download below!!

After a bit of silence the Super Nice Music crew is back, this time with a DJ mix for your aural pleasure made in collaberation with Vice of Genius Collective hailing from Birmingham, UK. 

We at Super Nice instantly felt Genius Collective when they sent us a mail with their rendition of Amy Winehouse’s “Stronger Than Me”. We reached out to Vice right away and instantly there was a click and so we decided to do something together. Vice is the brainchild behind Birmingham (Uk) based 7 piece Hip Hop / Soul / Funk band Genius Collective, the creator of Basement Sessions (now on hiatus), and an established producer in his own right. With a myriad of Genius Collective music set to hit the musical waves throughout 2012, Vice offers up a mix to get you ready for the summer time, with a mix of dusty breaks, chilled electronic vibes, acoustic tones and all round good Hip Hop vibes truly representing the Worlwide culture, with music from artists representing the UK, Holland, Spain, US, Japan and many more. The artwork is done by Commonlight from the UK, and is designed in such a way that you can choose to have the Dutch or UK side up.

For those not familair with Genius Collective yet, GC is a seven piece Hip Hop/Soul/Funk band based in Birmingham UK. With the band consisting of a fusion of Hip Hop heads, to classically trained Jazz musicians, their style blends honest, feel good lyrics with funk rhythms to get your head nodding, your mind thinking and your feet moving. Inspired by Bonobo, The Roots, The Bamboos and TY to name a few, Genius Collective aim to hit the scene soulfully with their distinctive sound. Keep an eye out on their Wordpress for their upcoming release ”E=GC2” or check their Bandcamp for some of the gems they dropped already. Also look out for Vice’s debut full production project coming later this year, including the soulful banger “Another Day” featuring New York resident and Zulu Nation member Why G?.

What happens when UK label Associated Minds and the Dutch Super Nice Music come together? It creates a Basketcase. Producer Lemonface from Amsterdam creates a funky soundtrack for the slightly screwed up in the head Ralph Rip Shit to go lyrically bananas on. The dynamic duo are working on a project together and this single is first evidence of that to see the light of day. Expect more from these crusaders in the coming months!

Super Nice Music is proud to present The BUMS, two of the few honest and true Hip Hop craftsmen still out there. The album, “Like This”, is a re-release of the 2008 debut of the duo hailing from North Carolina, and contains a never before released bonus track. We bring you this overlooked gem with the announcement that The BUMS are back with new music coming in 2012.

The BUMS are MO (MC, Producer) from Richmond, VA and TJ Hooky aka Dick Grayson (Producer) from Fayetteville, North Carolina, USA. The acronym BUMS stands for Building Up Musical Sounds, and not without reason. Both MO and TJ come from Hip Hop’s golden age, both produce music and like to blend the all-time great American music like R&B, Soul, Jazz and Funk with the classic Hip Hop from the likes of Dilla, Pete Rock, Madlib, DJ Premier and Dr. Dre.

The BUMS met in 2002 through a mutual friend and shortly after started working on their debut LP, entitled Like This. Although originally released in 2008, the Super Nice crew feels like this LP is not recognized for what it is, a true Hip Hop classic, and therefore decided to re-release the long player to give it the shine it deserves. This fourth Super Nice release is just a warm up to more and better things to come from the unique duo that is The BUMS!

Currently The BUMS are hard at work in the studio to finish off two new projects: A Beautiful World and Bumtacular Fleets, which are both expected to be released on Super Nice Music in 2012.  After releasing these two projects MO and TJ hope to expand the sound of The BUMS to different genres such as Jazz/Instrumental and R&B projects.

L’Orange, the man who brought us the Billie Holiday tribute tape “Old Soul”, is now back on the block in collaboration with the good people from The Find Mag. This now beat tape is an ode to the late great J Dilla, and all samples used in this beat tape are Jay Dee productions. L’Orange on Dilla: “No one has shaped my view of music more than James Yancey. He challenged our idea of music and pushed us towards a more progressive and creative appreciation of hip hop. He died six years ago, but the music lives on in his wake. This project is dedicated to the life and memory of the one and only J Dilla”. Dropping in Dilla Month and being a serenade made in style, this is good food for yer headphones. Peep the DL below. 

What do you do when it’s Christmas? Right, you give away presents! That’s what our homies at Bcescapades must’ve thought too. They asked us if we could deliver some beats and since it was almost Christmas, who are we to say no?

To celebrate and share the joy our good friends over at Bcescapades bring you this free download of a beat tape, and don’t let the cover fool you, these beats have nothing to do with Christmas, it’s just a little Christmas gift. With a versatile line up with people like Rare Villains, Hexsagon and Freshnerd this is a beat tape that goes all directions without losing sight of the most important thing in life, having fun with it. These are all beatmakers who do what they do with a passion, and this you can hear! And we should mention that our own Laezea, Dave Redi and Lemonface are on there as well!! Make sure you check out the Bcescapades website if you haven’t yet and to hit the free download below to take what’s yours. Bcescapades wishes you all a very High Christmas and a banging 2012!! Be on the lookout for these guys as they are bound to make some nice moves next year!

If you’re into lazy, mellow Hip Hop beats with a BPM no higher than 88, look no further. The latest signee on King Underground records from the UK, Simiah, released this taster of instrumentals to introduce himself and show the world what’s to come in 2012 when he releases his full length LP called Lost In Time. Sit back, spark some and relax. 

This album was released a few months agp already but like many things hasn’t appeared on my radar. Until today that is! I don’t know much about these guys other then that Trace Blam reps the hard streets of Baltimore and that Soul Chef cooks up his beats from New Zealand, but what I do know is that the ingredients these two bring to the table make up for a delicious dish. Peep the free bandcamp download below. 

Dutch beatmaker Dr. Ernst gives us a free treat with some nice and lazy instrumental vibes. Grab the free download from Bandcamp below, get your headphones out and close your eyes, you won’t regret it!

Dutch collective/label Super Nice Music presents its first release, “Insomniac Music” by producer  Dave Redi. The beatsmith has the honor of having the first full length release on Super Nice Music Group with his instrumental debut dropping today.

Insomniac Music, the title says it all. After a 40 hour work week we can often find Dave in his home studio, crafting beats until the wee small hours of the morning. Hangovers, crusty voice and scruffy look and periorbital dark circles under his eyes, but Dave goes in just as hard the next night to do it all over again, which is characteristic for his drive and passion in this music game. 

The Front Porch Poets producer, who was responsible for the bulk of the productions on their well received “For The Record” debut LP, spent the last six months crafting in the lab to deliver something special. “Insomniac Music” is Super Nice Music, and this is just the beginning.
