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.

This video came out last year, but as I’m a sucker for the 90’s sound I just had to post this! 

Another head nodder to start up your day. This one’s off the “Translation Lost” album by Dela. 

Released just last month I only came across this album by Versis the other day. This LP had me vibing out a few times this week. iLLCANDESCENT, a worthy album for your tracklist.

Straight out of Brooklyn, Fresh Daily released his latest album “The Quiet Life” earlier this year in May. I peeped the whole album today and it’s definitely worth the listen. 

You can download it here

I’ve also added a quick preview of some of his previous work below from another album he dropped in August 2010, “Mothership Land”. This was another album in my playlist today, very nice traveling music that’s also available here.
