DELA – TRANSLATION LOST

Dela returns with his sophomore album full of dope collaborations & his signature slap. Dela produces schitt that I can feel. His Robert Glasper beat tape still gets stupid rotay round these parts so I support all things he does. Super solid sophomore release on this one! Good schitt sir! & respecognition to Drink Water Music for hooking up with him to bring his next opus to fruition. Peep two cuts from the album featuring the homie Blu.

MAIYA AND NO PRESENT…ALL THAT JAZZ VOL.1

The first time we decided to collaborate on a compilation it was for Grimey, which was three volumes of hardcore hip hop. And  during the process of selecting songs, we discovered that our individual musical tastes were very similar and complemented each other well. We have some dope compilation ideas for the future but for now we proudly present… All That Jazz Vol. 1. Some of the songs are strictly jazz, while others just have the smooth vibe like “Autumn’s Evening Breeze.” In the tracklist, the songs in blue were picked by Maiya and teal by NO and we alternated taking turns. It’s cold outside and the perfect time to throw this compilation on and let it ride.

TL & DL after the after…
