Suonho – Speaking of Happiness

One of our authors, Irving, found this after class in his university, and yes its actually a busta rhymes tape from back in the days. speaking of happiness. a fitting fine tune by Suonho, this italian, and as he described himself, “Intergalactic groove maker since 1974” :) like this guy already.

Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) – Niggas In Poorest

I was only ready to post this after having played it out loud last weekend. Works at the right time, for not too long though. I know its a critical tune, if i were to listen to the lyrics, which i won’t – like i said many times before – i stopped listening to rap vocals a long time. No matter if the intention is good or bad, its definitely the wrong mantras to carry with you in everyday life. I don’t care about his interpolation on last years biggest rap tune, i also don’t wanna become occupied with story telling – of who, why and what. I simply don’t care. It’s a good tune with a good energy here.

Pep Love “Hip Hop My Friend” and a personal note*

Great to see that Pep Love of the Hieroglyphics camp is doing his thing. Outstanding tune with a these days rare and powerful soul feel to it and a proper boom bap slap. Pep is someone i consider a friend, an earnest and humble guy with a very good vibe to him, no negativity whatsoever. Check out Pep love @ the Hieroglyphics website

I did a track with that man & Planet Asia that kinda blew up all over, which was well almost a decade ago :) hahaha, man time flies when you are having fun, and actually i did a couple of tracks more that i never played for him – one in particular was pretty strong with a flipped chick corea sample, a full instrumentation by a lot of renowned soul and jazz musicians. Just heard it the other day in my club on the new Soundsystem and it still has a serious punch and vibe to it. I’ll upload it tomorrow, think you all are gonna like that one and Pep in particular (i’ll send you the link)! Good to see you are alive and kicking my man! I enjoy the tune a lot and you stick to being a fine wine :)
