Saukrates “Soaring To Heaven Pt. 2″

Saukrates is finishing up the album “Season One” and gearing up to drop a mixtape with The Real Frequency x Rappersiknow.com so stay tuned for that! Oh forgot to mention this is produced by non other than Rich Kidd himself and he fucking destroyed this beat!….I wish he dropped a verse on this. I also included the original version of the song which appeared on King Reign’s EP (being re-issued soon). Shout to Keezy, Arcee, P, Chase, Michael and Sauks!

Dela – The Robert Glasper Beattape

From Paris to Houston, and back. Dela chops up Robert Glasper. Here’s what he had to say about it.

Dela – The Robert Glasper Beattape

The first time I heard Robert Glasper’s music was in the summer of 2007. I was hanging out with the homie phinydee in the jazz record shop he used to work at, in Paris. We were trying to finish Changes Of Atmosphere at the time, so quite often I would stop by the shop so we could discuss featurings, label deals, yadda yadda.. So anyway, Phinydee had In My Element playing in the background, and of course “Dillalude” caught my ear… “hold on, what is this ?!” But shortly we got back into babbling about distribution, mastering, budget and all that, so I didn’t get to give the album a proper listening. Until october 2009. A that time, Robert’s latest, Doubled Booked, was on heavy rotation at the crib, and after I twat (twitted ?) about it, twitters @FROactiv and @fwmj advised me to get my hands on In My Element. A couple weeks later I found a copy in Archambault in MTL, so I copped it, went home and played it and… DAYMN! This album is 1) very dope 2) absolutely full of samples. Some of the interludes are basically hip-hop beats already… So.. I was like, I can’t sample the whole album and get away with it, can I ? Can I ??? I felt guilty already, so I figured I might as well do it, but call it a remix album or something.. And I started making these beats. So there you go now, The Robert Glasper Beattape is up for free download. If you like it, please support good music by copping In My Element, you’ll like it too. It’s on iTunes, and you should be able to find the CD in the jazz section of your nearest record store.. Enjoy !

SoundLib: A tale of two cities: Brooklyn + Houston – Tonight! – Wed 3/17

We cooked up something a little special this week. We decided to double up on the success of our weekly SoundLib parties in Fort Greene and bring it home to our original stomping grounds in Hustle Town. So, we’re gonna be getting down tonight in two cities at the same time.

The Houston edition will feature Cashless, Lil Tiger, and Simiyu, while the Brooklyn edition will feature NYC vet (and fellow Texan) Empanadamn.

Both will be on the Hip-Hop, Soul, Funk, Afrobeat, Disco tip, and both parties are FREE.

Full details below.
