KiD CuDi – Cleveland is the Reason
Produced by Dot Da Genius
the kind of beat born from late nights in front of the computer screen.
never been to Cleveland, but KiD CuDi and the dood singing on the chorus (anyone know who that is?) make it sound intergalactic-fantastic.
check out the rest of his mixtape, free download on his site and completely diggable.
especially noteworthy:
Day n Nite
Is there Any Love? (feat Wale)
The Prayer
Heaven at Nite
and the Paul Simon sample in 50 Ways to Make a Record cracks me up
Summer’s winding down, but you can still stir the ice in your mojito to this previously unreleased Lupe-worked Kanye beat. The sample seems to be based on the 1969 Lennon-McCartney b-side, “Don’t Let me Down,” sped up (whirrr’d), sprinkled with a faint tinkling ringaling and driven by some beatbombs dropped in true Ye fashion.
enjoy the last days of summer, folks.

It’s past my bedtime and I’ve already done posted for the diem, but
I just saw that the Homie Kevin Martin finally dropped a full-length on Ninja Tune.
Martin, aka The Bug, is one adem homies whose been in the game for a minute and has got more dubstep and ragga in his swerve than most.
I’m still diggin the track Poison Dart that he released way back when.
When being the last time New England leaves were falling.
Warrior Queen kills it ridin the bassed-out futuristic synth-war instigated by The Bug.
I mean, the
Shit is Loud.
¡UP.n.UP!
..to the previous post:
So the Bicycle Film Festival has landed in Boston starting yesterday, the 14th, to Sunday the 17th.
One particular highlight is this screening at 1pm on Saturday:
and later that night they’re having an after party in Allston with Etan and Neptune.
Illy-Vanilly? Quite possibly (have never heard either of their live sets).
The real catalyst for this post though is because of Macaframa, who have been teasing the hell out of everyone with little trailers peppered across the blogosphere.
The homies at H(y)r Collective just did a piece on them.

So simple. So clean.
Cause this hyped for different reasons:
Whose swagger reminds me of:
Black Label Bicycle Club’s ‘07 Bike Kill
Which harks on craftsmanship of a different note:
Result of Condor Cycles‘ collab with Richard James
Whose poise, if nothing else, lends an ear to the world of the Far-Too-Fast:
A pin-up for now is from the new Atmosphere album.
The other day I was on a little get-the-hell-outta-my-mind-and-into-some-new-diversionary-diggs mission, and on track perusing through some musicali at a Borders.
Had no idea Atmosphere had even released a new album (ok, so it got dropped in March).
But the album title was what yanked over the novelty:
When Life Hands You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold.
Feelin that.
Physically gold plated and flowing with an introspective investigation characteristic to Atm, the album is a gracefully cohesive scrapbook. From start to finish it see-saws on Life’s harsh beauty.pain
