THE KICKDRUMS – PERFECT WORLD (REMIX)(FEAT. RZA) + ANIMAL

The Kickdrums have been hard at work since dropping their There Might Be Blood EP and a host of other collaborative works. Pleasantly surprising me this morning, two new joints from the Brooklyn duo landed in my inbox from their upcoming “Meet Your Ghost” album dropping 2/8/11 — one being the “Perfect World (Remix)” featuring the Abbott RZA, and the other entitled “Animal” with a driving bass line and dope ass progression. You surely won’t be disappointed once you indulge after the jump!

THE KICKDRUMS – THERE MIGHT BE BLOOD EP

To borrow a line from my brother NO, this shit is banging like crip-related elephants out this piece. I’m a hip-hop head to the grave, but it’s something about well-pieced rock with an undertone of hip-hop that just speaks to my soul! You know, it’s the same feeling that made the Neptunes venture into N.E.R.D. territory. Furthermore, The Kickdrums sound is fairly unrelated to any group I can think of off the top of my head, and they make it all sound so simple yet sooooo good. Check out another track from the EP entitled “Merry Go Round” and then partake!

BLIND I SAYS GO! AUGUST 2009

What’s good Blind I faithful?! This past month has been dope experience after dope experience for me, and it’s totally reflected in the way this month’s Blind I Says GO! came out. We’ve dealt with some major losses, made some major gains, but the beauty in it all is that the music sticks around long after we’re gone. I decided to go all out and do a double-disc of new shit, new artists, old gems & unreleased material, all working perfectly to create something dope to ride to and bound to surprise you. So without further ado, indulge thine self and partake in the splendor that is Blind I Says GO August 2009!

THE KICKDRUMS – JUST A GAME

This album is incredible. I’m just gonna go out and say it. It’s sonically amazing, like the tonal qualities of a Jon Brion produced record, but supremely Radiohead, David Axelrod, Dilla, all mixed into one. You’ve gotta download this one if you download anything today. Check out the track Death Of A Dream Machine from Just A Game and then download this schitt! Props to OnSmash for the linkup.
