A little treat for your mellow moments in summer. Jessie Wares incredible Bobby Caldwell cover spiced up / beat laced with Nas’ Grover Washington sampling piece “Understanding” which didn’t make it on the original Illmatic album. New York Loft After Hour feeling before cellphones, before the webs…

In celebration of our fun filled & music packed Saturdays in July, here is a YUM YUM classic from way, way back. Suzanne Vega on top of a Salaam Remi Beat for Nas[ir Jones] which samples a classic James Brown Beat and is still today one of the hottest beats around. Some call it mashup, some call it remix, some call it edit, bootleg or whatever. I don’t care what you call, i only care if its good or not. Drop a comment and enjoy the fine weather while it lasts. Cool Summer wind in your hair
Good buddy and YUM YUM original Dan Gerous, finally mixed, mastered and finished his Moombahton EP. Full of classic goodies, reworked to fit the Moombah trademark thats currently working the floors. Dwnld the full set below and use it for maximum pressure on the floor. Proper surehots that work, like almost all Moombahton tracks, best when properly mixing tunes back and forth. So get to work on them tables and go bath salt. We salute you buddy
Chris Faust with another FREE Album, outstanding rhymer that i will from now on remember forever for using the phrase “selling rock to jabronis”. Classic Mac, classic mac my man. Anyways good album, get it check it out and my favourite tune is right here, the one with the Jabroni quote :) Full Album via Bandcamp.

When these two greats team up you better listen up. Masta Ace sounds so retro on here, almost like on his first album on cold chillin, except he is more mellowed out, more lean back, grown up and Mf Doom provides the right soundtrack for Ace to take a walk down memory lane. Enjoy this proper Hip Hop Album, with that touch of New York City nostalgia and realness or honesty, thats so often lacking. No glittery crap here, soulful beats meet a man who looks so old school these days when riding the boom bap buffalo and seems to shine more the older he gets. Get MA Doom “Son of Yvonne” right here.
ps Masta Ace was one of my absolute favourite Mcs every since he first appeared on the scene on Marley Marls “In Control Vol 2” which featured the Original Juice Crew, who were the blueprint for the Wu-Tang Clan only a few years later. His first solo album “Take a look around” was heard at every Acid Jazz Party and he was THE Mc in a mostly british & japanese dominated jazz scene that went on to shape a decade. In 1993 his album Slaughterhouse was the moral highground in Hip Hop and a voice of reason, sarcasm and intelligence in a scene that got its first wave of clownish “Bitch and Gangsta” behaviour, he called it back then – if its fake its fake. A true head and a pioneer. I salute you Duvall Clear
3 tunes of the top of my head, although almost everyone is a gem
