The homie Nobody Famous will be delivering a new mixtape of tracks he’s produced over the years featuring the likes of; Wax, Dom Kennedy, Donnis, Sene, Andy Milanokis and more.

Leading up to the 2-23-12 release, Reggie will be dropping these dope animations that all producers will be able to relate to….trust me.

Fresh off the press (see what I did there?), LA dropped off some brand new visuals for A Place, taken from her latest project LA Riots: Mental Fatality. This is one of my favorite joints off the record (next to ‘I’m Alive’)

If you haven’t grabbed a copy of LA Riots yet, make sure you do so before I tell ya mama on you.

The Soulstice are a four man crew all from different states but currently residing in Orlando, FL. They released this dope mixtape at the top of the year with them rhyming over nothing but 9th Wonder and MF Doom beats. Be sure to give it a listen because its dope. You can donate at their Bandcamp page or download for free.

The homie Joose (aka Darth Vader in a snapback) dropped off a Christmas present that deserves some attention. Casket Rap is the type of joint that makes you want to punch random strangers in the face. Especially during the holidays….don’t ask why, it just does. The back and forth between Joose and Houston’s up and comer, Dapper G, is a good fit I hope to hear more of in the future.

Not sure how I missed this one but better late than never. Must watch for all beatheads and lovers of art in general.

Dope artist Larry Achiampong delivered a fresh concept at the Tate Britain last year. Watch as he breaks down the project and the ideas that propelled it into fruition.

Also, be sure to check out his latest project titled Meh Mogya which aimed to “investigate, navigate; sample and re-present sound as a heritage/legacy of his origins. This project uses samples from Highlife music of the 1960’s through to the early 1980’s.”

Stop by his bandcamp and support good music. Below is my FreshPick:

Sidenote: I read a very interesting article today on Brian Eno and how he was originally an art student that ended up using music as his medium of choice back in the 60′s. He stated the school he studied at pushed the students to experiment with different forms and mediums. #Random

If you’re an artist in any way, shape, or form watching this should be at the top of your list of priorities. I know, I know….its 2 hrs. but its worth it. Trust me.

This has been out for a week now which is the equivalent of 1.3 yrs in real life. Meaning…by now most of you have heard this masterpiece already. Its been on repeat non-stop on my awesome netbook for the last week (as well, now officially available for purchase at iTunes).

The combination of Danny’s XXX rhymes and Black’s neck snappin’ beats make for a perfect marriage on this release. I also like the angle in which Black approached production on this one (yes, I’m talking about disregard of formulaic song structure). It felt like the first time I heard Slum Village’s Detroit Deli which is a classic in my eyes but I’ll save that for another blog post. Long story short….if you’re a fan of either of these artists, you need this in your life.

Spotted this joint over at Juxtapoz. Now if only I can figure out where in London this wall is….

I haven’t posted in a very long time….hopefully yall forgive me but just know there’s some good things going on with 100 Akres. With that said, Kendrick Lamar drops some visuals to my fave joint off of Section.80. I hope signing to a major doesn’t hold him back creatively. Amen.

F*ck Yea! “Raw Medicine” drop Sept. 27th on Stones Throw.

This video isn’t new but I could’ve sworn I posted it when it first dropped….I guess not. Melo is an ill MC/beatmaker/producer/photographer from Brooklyn. This kid is in his own lane all while keeping art and creativity alive. Part of me hopes beat/remix performance doesn’t go mainstream so it can keep its authenticity. I’m already having a tough time dealing with the fact that Santa Claus isn’t real.

Words can’t really express my feelings towards Suzi’s music as of lately. I know that sounds mad stalkerish and borderline psychotic but the way she experiments is dope as hell….inspiring too. She’s like a new version of Badu (if I was forced to compare her to another artist).

Ok, with that said….Suzi delivers a 30 minute mix of all self written/produced tracks (old & new) as well as a couple of cover tunes (yea, I said tunes) thrown in for extra seasoning. Enjoy and if anyone sees Suzi, tell her to get at me….on the music tip of course.

1. L∆V∆ – Pasmo (co-prod. JMR$N)
2. Loud On Da Block – Hot In Here (prod. devonwho)
3. U & Who? [Radiohead Covr]
4. Soy Crisps
5. FlameCatchr
6. A$ U R [Nirvana Covr]
7. NXT MSG [Original]
8. Up Jumps Da Boogie [Analogue Jr.]
9. Jump Rooooope
10. BronxInternship
11. Ordinaire
12. Function01010101
13. loudR
14. L∆V∆ – The Most Important (co-prod. JMR$N)

Damn, this makes me feel old. Enjoy.

Ok, I’m mad late on this one but been pretty busy over on the 100 Akres side so hopefully you nerds allow a late pass. LA dropped some visuals earlier this week from the Hippie Sabotage produced Spittin Out Blood. The video is a bit of a mind fuck and well presented.

Look out for LA Riots coming soon.

One of the few groups left that puts thought into song arrangement. If you missed the Evil Christian Cop: The Great Mistapes, check it out here.

One month after its online release and praise, Nas & Common deliver fresh visuals. Dope. Period.
