MACHINEDRUM – LET IT (FEATURING MELO X)

I present a gem of a release by MachineDrum featuring Melo X entitled Let It. Neck breaking production on the single is notable on all tunes including the remixes by heavy hitters Edit and Lazer Sword. The big boom blap slap is well accompanied by Melo X‘s lyrical delivery. The extra track, Flud, is actually my fave from the release. It’s slow and moody vibe will have you wishing there were more than two minutes in the tune. Word on the street is that “copies have landed” of the EP, but since the official release isn’t until 11/2/10 this single will have to do for now.

NO KNOWS DOPE | MARCH 20X

This month I decided to flip the script & keep it off this NKD. Get it? No scripts… just beats. Thus, No Knows Beats! From my favorite producers past, present & future. This cover is quite special to me as well because it is a painting of me done by my brother like no other Dee Jae Pa’este of Konscious Klothing & he was kind enough to let me use it for this months NKD art. (I mean… IT IS ME tho hahahaha). I have been bumping this all day while I was working on the back cover & it is damn good designing music… or work music… or whatever you use it for. Burn a CD, drop it on your mp3 players & cypher with your homies while you cruise the block or BBQ it up… or just stfu & listen.

A list of who’s on this batch & the DL after the J…
