12.Apocalyptic Music – Dudley Perkins feat Aloe Blacc

KNNY said it best so I’mma go & let him speak on it…

Never ones to stay quiet or stagnant for long – the royal galactic-fOnk duo Georgia Anne Muldrow & Dudley Perkins return to Earth, & this time they’ve brought some friends & family along with them on the Ship.

To coincide with the launch of their new site, SomeOthaShip.com, which features exclusive music downloads/previews, lyrics, Georgia paintings/sketchings & more, G&D present us with a 21-track SomeOthaShip Connect 2011 sampler. The album showcases whats in store for their SomeOthaShip label this year & beyond and features something both for and from everyone as they include the entire OS roster & family.

Some names to look out for include Riff Raff McGriff – an up-and-coming MC/producer and heir to the throne of the Oxnard, CA dynasty who I think will be making a lot of noise in the coming months; Kadence – a Michigan lyricist best known for his work with Dabrye; the debut of The Blackhouse – Georgia’s upcoming electro/house music project, as well as the contiuation of her one-woman jazz band alias, Jyoti, whose debut Gilles Peterson hailed & awarded as the Jazz Album Of The Year. Non-label guests include Madlib, Aloe Blacc, Miki Vale, and Prince Po of Organized Konfusion, & with even Dudley’s daughters & Georgia’s siblings providing tracks – SomeOthaShip Connect 2011 is by all means a family affair.

I was instantly filled with happy after watching this video. I imagine that it will have the same effect on you all. Aloe Blacc’s album Good Things available now and here.

Life is all about progression. Time doesn’t stop, we don’t get any younger, and it’s always the early bird that catches the worm. With the closing of another year, I know I speak for the entire Blind I staff when I say that I hope you’ve all grown as we have; seen what’s being done and aspired to be better…for as you know, Blind I ALWAYS says GO!…

Track listing after the jump.

“I let songs breathe, as they’re all deserved to be heard and the vibe is deserved to be felt. Some synths. Some Lo-Fi. A bunch of recognizable names. A couple unknowns. 33 tracks. 81 minutes. In the words of Stretch Armstrong, this mix is “chonky.”  DJ Mensa

Shit don’t know how we missed this one. New visuals from the artist we used to call Medaphor and half of the group Emanon. Jeah.

Here’s the video for Aloe Blacc’s Velvet Underground cover of “Femme Fatale.” It has that vintage-cool feel to it. Classic black and white.

The Miguel Atwood-Ferguson Ensemble has done some really special shows this year. In addition to the Flying Lotus and Bilal performances, they recently paid homage to the legendary Guru with this version of Gang Starr’s “Betrayal.” The original  song sampled the 1973 War classic “Deliver The Word, ” which is  an equally powerful song. I know this is the final video, but I hope they continue on with amazing live collaborations like this. R.I.P. Guru.

The good folks at Stones Throw Records dropped this live version of Aloe’s hit song featured on the HBO series How To Make It In America. Momentum is building up for the release of his next full length album Good Things out later this year.  You’ve come a long way Mr. Blacc, but I’m still hoping for another Emanon album.
