When Our brother Shoes co-signs a project… pay attention!

(C’mon Son! You knew damn well outta all the cuts on here I’d pick the one entitled Darth Vader)

Chanes takes us on his journey through space & sound with this Experiment In Instrumentation, matter of fact… I’ll let him tell it…

An Experiment in Instrumentation is definitely one of the stand outs among the beat tapes in my opinion. There is not many words to describe the tape. There is also no lane it can be categorized in. Its a step in a new direction. A step of growth in my production. And most importantly, it’s new material for my people. Enjoy, & all feedback is appreciated.

ELZHI – THE LEFTOVERS UNMIXED TAPE

*Pbbt! — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:29:17 +0000

From the time I was introduced to him on Jay Dee’s Welcome 2 Detroit I’ve been convinced that eLZhi is one of the coldest emcees out and this compilation does nothing but support that belief. Excellent opportunity for anyone who isn’t already privy to his illy to get familiar.

COOL PEOPLE YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IF YOU ALREADY DIDN’T: WRIGHTRAX

*Pbbt! — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 07:40:16 +0000

For those of you who are unfamiliar with these two dudes here an opportunity to get acquainted with them. Two cats out of Detroit (which has been churning out quite a bit of quality music as of late if I might say) doing some big things on the production tip. You may already be familiar with the work they did with G.O.O.D. Music artist Big Sean (see Getcha’ Some). One of which – Deuce – happens to be a fellow brother of the struggle, no growth and development.

But be sure to check out their blog and their Myspace page in the near future. Like now.

…damn these dudes have a WalMart radio spot lol
