It's been a long time since I've heard something this cold, dark and sinister. The genre doesn't even go there these days, so to hear a group like 3:33 (or anyone for that matter) bring this cinematic sound and approach back to the forefront is not only refreshing -- but strangely fulfilling.
Without much available on the group, here is their remix of MF Doom's Vomit along with an instrumental alternate take. Deep shit.
Anyone who tells you that there's a shortage of good music out there, just isn't listening. J. Slikk has provided a free instrumental LP that I've zoned out to while working, several times in the past 48 hours. Overflowing with soul. Do yourself the favor and snag it.
With so much Raekwon material, and hearing some of this material at Rock The Bells (with Ghost), this is not only appriopriate, but clutch. I don't think there's ever a moment where my hair doesn't stand on end whenever I hear Criminology coming in.
If there is a video I wish I could've gotten, it was Rae performing that particular gem live at RTB again this year. Although, I think I was too wrapped up in the head nod, with great company reminiscing over the deja vu of the previous year -- hearing Criminology live with the same people, at the same amphitheater, pretty much standing in the same spot.
I can't slip on my duty to consistently be the purveyor of fine instrumentals. So to that end, I link to you Omer's joint for a blurb and the download to this classic. Enjoy some of No I.D.'s best work.
Great music is indeed timeless, andthis one certainly fits both.
In light of no Detox yet, this should hold you over.

I just came up on this interview published in the LA Weekly as well as Passion Of The Weiss. It's an eye-opening interview that really exemplifies not only Dilla's struggle before and after death, but also his ability to come to terms with what was happening to him; and despite all of it, push on a make legendary music.
While it certainly is comforting and inspiring to read Ms. Yancey's accounts of her son and his timeless talent, it makes me furious to see the mismanagement of his estate. I'd like to believe that there is an inherent good in people sometimes, but apparently this is never true in the music business.
Nonetheless, his legacy lives on, and I feel, deep in my heart, that this will come back around for this amazing woman. LINK // LA Weekly Interviews Maureen Yancey
Bobby Corridor comes with a 90-minute megamix of over 600 classic Hip Hop instrumentals. Not to take anything away from the flows that rode over the top of many of these beats, but the soundscapes beneath were just as integral throughout Hip Hop history.
Just finished this hip hop megamix, 600+ tracks and 90 minutes long
Done partly to have my say in the hip hop megamix arena and prove that they can flow, partly to pay homage to the music I grew up with and partly to make sense of something and maybe, just maybe move on("he'll grow out of it").
I could work on it for daddy long time but need to bid it farewell and release it into the world
The beat behind Saigon's newest featuring Red 5ive, coming from none other than Just Blaze, is eerily catchy. I wasn't into the vocal or the hook for that matter, but the beat works.
For the first time in months, I'm just sitting at my desk casually working. I'm usually running around like a fool juggling a multitude of things, but finals are over, so this is a change of pace.
Right. Music. My bad.
Not that I have anything against Jim Jones personally, but I always preferred the instrumental he was flowing over on We Roll. It's a dope Pete Rock beat, what?
