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!

In promotion of El Da Sensei’s Nu World Remix EP, which is now available on iTunes, the Nu Jeru legend reunites with his Artifacts cohorts Tame One & DJ Kaos for the !llmind Remix of “Everyday In The Street”.

Continuing the onslaught standardly, Eatgood front runner Sonnyjim linked up with brazilian producer Nel Sentimentum (Little Brother) to bring you his new single ‘Trying to Get Home’ featuring the almighty Metamore bringing in the good vibrations as Sonnyjim gets busy as per, just running through that lifestyle rap pizzazz while trying to find his way back to where he belongs, home. 

New tiggalo new tiggalo new tiggalo….Phonte brings a video for the 9th Wonder produced “The Good Fight”, from the Charity Starts At Home album. To me some of the realest talk I’ve heard in a while, and beatwise it’s 9th Wonder doing what we love him for. Proper.

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. 

This one kind of slipped by us, but better late than never right? Mecca:83 just released a new project called D A Y B R E A K. Once again the Manchester native brings us the goodness which we’ve come to expect from him. This particular project has been made in 24 hours, but considering the quality that’s not what you’d expect. Hit the free download below through bandcamp, but donate a little something if you have some cash to spare as all proceedings will be donated to UK charity Mind. And last but not least, as a bonus we added the vocal rework of the track Aura with the talented Bobby Blunt as well, limited free download so be sure to grab that from Soundcloud ASAP!

Since I’m finally going to see D play live tonight at Paradiso in Amsterdam, I was playing around on my Maschine this afternoon with some joints from Voodoo, and came up with this little beat tribute which doesn’t even come close to what might be the best album of all times, but I sure as hell had fun with it. Enjoy and ‘til next time!
