Black Spade “Build and Destroy”

I’ve been seriously addicted to this mixtape for the past couple months. Personal Highlights are “Breakthrough”, “Untitled”, and “Fall in Love”, though there’s much more worth listening to. He passed me and Approach the rough versioni of this tape when we were in St. Louis on the Aloe Park Tour. Special shouts to Approah for getting Spade on our Aloe Park record as well. Below is a free download link and the tracklisting. Great for the end of summer. Enjoy.

Reason I’m dropping this off now is, we’ve been nominated for a couple Ohio Hip-Hop Awards: Best Album (Illogic’s “Diabolical Fun”), and best Entertainment Company (Voice of Reazon).

Ill Poetic “The World is Ours” Instrumentals (Free Download)

So in continuance of “The World is Ours” Re-Release campaign that I’ve been working on for the Summer, I wanted to release the Instrumentals for this record as a free download. I realized 2 weeks ago that I’ve never even actually made an instrumental version of this record for myself. So I had the pleasure of digging through the original files for this album and getting nostalgic at all the recording sessions. There are even a couple added instruments here and there this time around, since I got to dig fully back into each songs format.
I’m doing all this as a way of preparing for a huge run of projects that I’m in the midst of wrapping up now (including the follow-up to this record). So I promise I’m not stuck in the past, Just catching the past up to the present so i can work on the future. Hope y’all enjoy it. Hope some emcees catch some writing inspiration. Hope some people catch some riding inspiration.

Abstract Rude (Rhymesayers)

As front man of his original group Abstract Tribe Unique (ATU) and collaborator with Freestyle Fellowship members Aceyalone & Myka 9, Abstract Rude has endeared himself to fans worldwide through consistent touring.

Musab (Sab the Artist) (Rhymesayers)
Musab “Sab” Saad began his music career as a hip hop artist named Beyond. He was part of the Headshots crew and then went on to be a co-founder of Indie giant Rhymesayers Entertainment. He is a member of Dyno Spectrum and even went on to release an album with Hiero Imperium. Along the way he has also released 6 solo projects. Now, Sab The Artist is embarking on a new journey. For the last 2 years Sab has been working on his new album HGH (Heaven, Girls, Hell) to be released late 2010.

Ill Poetic
Definition Music will be re-releasing Ill Poetic’s Debut National album “The World is Ours”. Released exclusively alongside the album will be an exclusive remix project entitled “The World is Illuminated” with legendary Ohio Producer/DJ J. Rawls (Black Star, Lone Catalysts). The Project features unreleased songs from the recording sessions of “The World is Ours” as well as exclusive new remixes. “The World is Illuminated” album features J. Rawls as host, as well as Ohio vets Piakhan (Reflection Eternal), Zerostar (Weightless), Jermiside (Tanya Morgan, Lessondary), Zone (Definition), and more.

Ruckus Roboticus
Ruckus has been drawing national praise since the 2008 release of his debut full-length, Playing with Scratches, which charted on the CMJ charts in the Top 10 and also helped him become “in demand” for his remix abilities (he’s done mixes for Bloc Party, Lady Tigra and Vampire Weekend). Ruckus’ inventive collaging of sound returns on the new The Chicks EP, which gets “album release partied” this Friday during the monthly dance party Dip Dip Dive at The Stand in Mount Lookout; he’s joined by resident DJs C. Witzel and Marty Spitfly.
Ruckus is the rare mixologist who manages to be incredibly creative and exploratory while also being remarkably accessible, entertaining and, of course, danceable.
