Back in ‘11 it was known that Blu was working on a secret album ‘UCLA’ with producer Madlib. Today Blu dropped the album, you can listen it here. Enjoy! [EDIT: It seems Blu was so nice to remove the album from bandcamp shortly after putting up. Wonder why…]

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!

To start off the weekend properly Eric Lau and Guilty Simpson just released their new ep ‘The Mission’. With guest appearances by Chris Dave, Damu The Fudgemonk, Alex Bonfanti and many more.

Berlin based alkaholik and beatmaker Suff Daddy is back with them beats, and boy oh boy do we love this kinda shit! Found this treat via bandcamp and even though it has a release date of the 24th of Feb 2012 you can already check it out in full below. If you’re not familiar with Suff, go check the repertoire on the website of the good peoples of Melting Pot Music, because this guy packs heat.

Low Budget member and Maspyke producer Roddy Rod returns with the second installment of his Oakwood Grain beat tape. Check out this new freshness below and cop it for extra bonus content and a PDF artwork booklet on his bandcamp page! 

Remember we posted about the 7 piece Hip Hop/Soul/Funk band from Birmingham, UK? Well, now they’re back with the double A-side single in prep for their full length release coming early next year. The single features besides the 2 tracks a variety of remixes to please your ears. You can pre-order this audible treat via the bandcamp below. Oh and did I mention that Genius Collective and Super Nice Music are preparing a nice little present for you coming in the near future? Stay tuned!

I didn’t even know that Hassaan Mackey besides being a gifted emcee could knock out some dope spacey beats too, but here you go. Hassaan on the boards and singstress ISHE is finishing the job proper. Spacey goodness.

Fresh off the back of The Psychonaut LP is the last instalment to the series, The Psychonaut Remix LP. The original tracks get a rework courtesy of some of the illest producers in the game right now such as M-Phazes (Talib Kweli, Pharohe monch), Illmind (50 Cent, Redman), Beat Butcha (Sean Price, Havoc) Apatight, Elaquent and many more. 

Every producer brings the goods and the result we have a remix LP that almost trumps the original and that?s saying something! The release also features 4 previously unheard bonus tracks recovered from the Eatgood Records vaults. A joint venture between EATGOOD records and Australian based label Obese records. The album is straight up premium quality Hip Hop, straight illin with no filler from start to finish, like how real Hip Hop albums used to be. 

Right now you can purchase the LP digitally direct from Sonnyjim / EATGOOD via bandcamp. 
 

A few days ago I posted “Him”, a soulfull hiphop track featuring vocals from Tamala and produced by Mabuana. I also stated that he was a “drummer/producer” from Japan. so now that we know of his production side, what about his drums?

Ovall, soulfull, laidback, groove and hiphop are words that come to mind. I really hope these guys make it to europe sometime but for now this snippet has to do.
