Plug Research Compilation FREE DOWNLOAD

I came across this compilation a couple days ago and have been listening pretty steadily. Plug Research is a label home for a really diverse array of artists, ranging from Sonnymoon and Bilal to Hawthorne Headhunters (a dope-ass group featuring St. Louis artist Black Spade).

“This is a free compilation that we wanted to share with everyone. All brand new musiccoming out on plug during the spring quarter of 2012. We have been at this for the last 15 years and at some point this year, we will have had our 200th release. This is the year of letting go. Opening the flood gates of Plug Research for all to enjoy all of the wonders we have in our vaults.”

J*Davey “Smells Like Teen Spirit” (Studio and Live Version)

A couple months ago, I stumbled across an amazing live video of J*Davey covering Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” with an amazing twist. It stuck in my head for a long time. Alot of people appearantly weren’t digging it, but I really loved the way they twisted it somewhere unexpected.

Thankfully, the Studio Version has been unleashed (Thanks to Andreas at WellVersed.com for the Post).

Blindiforthekids presents Maiya’s Rendezvous 9 f. Ill Poetic

Blindiforthekids.com is probably one of my favorite blogs out period. I actually got to meet them in person at their fresh CMJ Show a couple weeks ago. So I always get excited when they put my shit on their mixtapes, as they actually take time to craft the emotion of these tapes together and it always shows.

Just click my bandcamp link after the jump for the free download.

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. Hit the jump for a free download link and the tracklisting. Great for the end of summer. Enjoy.
