Incase your wondering, the album artwork features two animated depictions of legendary rapper, Rakim. The concept is based on Rakim's classic lyric, "third eye, make me shine", off the 1988 single, "Follow The Leader".
Listen two a couple of tracks off the project and download the whole EP below!
Fresh off the release of his solo EP, "Here", Curren$y keeps at it with the release of another free EP, this time in collaboration with reemerging rapper, Styles P.
The 5 track EP showcases the duo's floetic bars over a variety of dope production. Guest features involve artists; Feind, Das and Deelow.
Hopefully this is just a precursor to bigger things from Spitta and SP The Ghost!
Odd Future member, Hodgy Beats, continues to solidify his musical talents with the release of his newest "Untitled" EP. The 9 track project features a stunning production cast including Flying Lotus, The Alchemist, Jonti, Thelonious Martin and Juicy J. I've said it before and I'll say it again, these OF cats have a phenomenal ear for production!
Hodgy flows effortlessly over each brilliant production. Seriously, every single beat on this EP is just....wow.
Highly underrated Rhymesayer, Brother Ali, drops his beautiful new EP, "The Bite Marked Heart". The 7 track EP features production primarily by talented producers Jake One and Ant while guest appearances involve Nikki Jean, Phonte of Little Brother, Stokley Williams and Aby Wolf.
This project is just a precursor to Ali's upcoming sixth studio album, "Mourning In America & Dreaming In Color" which is dropping later this year.
While most people were watching the Superbowl this past Sunday, rapper Curren$y, was busy at work dropping his brand new 5 track EP, "Here".
The project showcases four solo Spitta singles while the last track, "Conference Call", features the Jet Life crew; Trademark Da Skydiver and Young Roddy.
"P.U.D.G.E. and I lived together in L.A. for a while. “Lethal Weapon” the movie was in our DVD player a lot and we notice parallels between Mel and Danny, and us. He’s the black guy, I’m the white guy. He’s more laid back, I’m more aggro. And we spent a long time together just trying to get by in L.A." - Malkovich
Check out the music video for the single, "Flatfoots" featuring Ali Baba Abnormal, Chris Clarke & Sum above and listen and download the whole EP below!
It's officially that time of the year again. Snow, Christmas decorations and Santa parades all over town, can only mean that we've been good all year and deserve a free EP from Telephoned. And miraculously, they have answered our wish lists and delivered a couple of weeks early (I hear the musical elves in the north pole work faster, it's a union thing). In any case, we here at RVS, wish our readers a very merry early christmas!
Earlier this week I noticed Mad Decent dropping the latest Heartbreak EP, M7, for free and I immediately thought to myself, holy fuck, I need to download this and post this. I wasn't wrong. This EP is a moombah influenced EP but at the same time a break from his usual style. It's one of those EP's where you want to play every track on there and not feel bad for just pressing play and letting the tunes do the rest of the work. Featuring the likes of JWLS and J Trick, you can grab the full EP below!
I've always been a fan of moombah and I'm only finally starting to really delve deeper into the genre so it's only fitting that I offer all of you some freebies to spread the love. The love tonight comes to you in the form of SolSelectas, a small label from New York. Featuring the likes of Nadastrom, Sazon Booya, and Jon Kwest, this EP will have your ass shaking to dem latin beats all through the night! Enjoy!
What do you get when you batter the shit out of "Butter"??? You get "Margarine." In this Free Mixtape EP featuring beats by Hud Mo and rhymes by Ced Hughes, "Butter" is turned to "Margarine." Just last year Hudson Mohawke released his critically acclaimed album "Butter." I had the privilege of seeing Hud Mo live earlier this year where he performed his entire album and much more which was arguably one of the craziest and intense spectacles T.Dot has seen to date (Post with video's coming soon). If you still haven't noticed, I am a giant Hud Mo fan! In this EP, up and coming Hip-Hop/Experimental rapper, Ced Hughes, lays down an entire album worth of bars on various beats off of "Butter." Now, I never thought Hudson Mohawke's beats were meant to be taken and rapped over because they were just that good instrumentally, let alone that there would be a full mixtape released of it! But I have to give the man Ced Hughes major credit. He definitely did his thing over every beat not trying to take the spot light from the beats but rather flowing with them smoothly.
Check the video below for the track "Spacely Sprokets" off of Margarine:
Due to recent controversy about this project and the people behind it, RVS would just like to say that I acknowledge that Hudson Mohawke or anyone that represents him, had absolutely nothing to due with the above mixtape. It's simply Ced Hughes that rapped over his beats without his permission, that is all, please don't spam the comment area with hate messages toward us, its simply a mixtape that we posted. End of discussion.
This Dalt Wisney Free-P was put on the internet in 2007 and then removed later. I finally found a copy of Lifetime Psychedelic Dance Lessons online to download. Break-Beat at its best. Download: Dalt Wisney - Lifetime Psychedelic Dance Lessons(Right Click Save As)
