The CRDS Fat Tape Vol 21

1-2...1-2...

I have had a few readers ask if I planned on doing these compilations again and I thought that it would be a good idea to make like an '88 Kane and Set It Off again...truth be told it has been a longtime between drinks with these fat tapes so I have focused a bit more on some of this years dope offerings along with releases of great Hip Hop recordings from years back.

15 cuts deep...download, share, kick back, play loud and enjoy :D

Throwback Video Clip of the Month:

Oddisee-The Beauty In All LP, Tangerine Dream Mixtape and NZ Tour

 

One of my favourite producers and MC's of recent times...the ever reliable Oddisee has just released his latest instrumental album, which in my personal opinion is just as dope as 2010's Traveling Man and 2011's Rock Creek Park and Odd Seasons etc on Mello Music Group titled The Beauty In All and an exclusive mix-tape titled Tangerine Dream

Stream and purchase both the album and mix-tape below...



Oddisee is also scheduled for 2 New Zealand live show* dates this October in

Dooley-O-O.G. Status LP

The legendary producer and MC, Graf writer, dedicated crate digger and DJ etc from New Haven, Connecticut known as Dooley-O aka the Man that discovered this timeless and used, abused and overused break has finally released a new album, after releasing 2 dope EP's Jesus Piece and Here We Go earlier in 2013.

O.G. Status is being released on the French label Sleediz Records this month (September) and is the follow up album to the great I Gotcha released on Lewis Records back in 2005, O.G. Status is his third album after his (almost) lost album Watch My Moves (1990) released in 2003 by Stones Throw.

O.G. Status contains the perfect Dooley-O back to basics recipe of classic breaks alongside dope loops, dusty samples (the ill horns, juttering guitar sample and fat drums on "Get Ready Yall" are a real highlight for me personally) and his unique voice and style on the mic.

Guests on the album include his cousin Stezo, Blacastan, Runaway TY, Majesty, Northern Lights, Smoke & Rhythm-D and Double K (People Under The Stairs)

Check out "Get Ready Yall" below




Pick up O.G. Status here
There will be vinyl copies of the album in the near future, see Sleediz Records for further info

Rise-The Cornerstone LP (Produced by Bankrupt Europeans)

Truth be told I have always been a fan of the Park Slope, Brooklyn bred MC known as Rise, 
he has a dope flow, the voice and clever and amusing punchlines The Wickedest Flow

It's dope to see that Rise is still making music and it's pretty obvious that Rise enjoys rhyming and wrecking shop with different producers as he has worked with everyone from Buckwild, Da Beatminerz, DJ JS-1 to his former Demigodz co-horts Celph Titled and Apathy, DJ Spinna to The Avid Record Collector to the Bankrupt Europeans who have recently produced his newest offering The Cornerstone released on the Scottish label Nobody Buys Records.

The Cornerstone is an interesting listen and reminds me of a lot of the sound and style of records that were released during the 97-99 Rawkus period and there is an abundance of classic vocal hooks used as cuts from DJ Jazz-T that old school heads will recognize right off the bat.

 
















Stream the album below and purchase the album on vinyl (the 2 LP Deluxe Version with  a pair of cornerstone slipmats, a glossy card lyrics sheet and stickers is limited to only 75 copies) or get a digital version here.




Call him Rise or don't call him at all...

Brothers Uv Da Blakmarket, Chubb Rock, The A-T.E.E.M. and Main One

Peace C.R.D.S. readers, it still amazes me that back in the days we had to dub friend's video tapes, stay up really late for the music shows or hope to catch up Hip Hop videos on the weekly music show, but thanks to the interwebs...all of the videos we missed or fondly recall are all there with a click of a mouse (or finger or pen or whatever you use to access the net) so I have compiled some classic videos from
Brothers Uv Da Blakmarket

Chubb Rock 

The A-T.E.E.M and Main One.

Chubb Rock-Yabbadabbadoo
Chubb Rock-Treat Me Right (Original 12" Mix)
