DJ Inform new mix-tape...



DJ Inform has been cold rockin' shows coast to coast and droppin' projects
for the last few years, most recently getting reviewed in OkayPlayer
with his group The Green Brothers, and dropping his solo instrumental
scratch album "The Cutting Room" last year, which featured Mista
Sinista
of The X-ecutioners as a featured DJ on a track, and was
released with a show featuring Prince Paul, J Rawls, Blueprint,
Illogic, and Ill Poetic as the other performers. He has rocked shows
with Talib Kweli, Brother Ali, Devin The Dude, Dead Prez, and many many others,
and has toured the country multiple times.  



This is his first mix-tape in a couple of years, he did his best to make this as cool as possible.
 Please check it out!




The Fair Use project makes liberal use of over 150 different records to create a mix that must be heard to be understood. In words, DJ Inform took original records that have been sampled before for classic hip hop songs, reworked the samples with other samples from other classics, mixed in some classic drum breaks, scratched a lot, added some accapellas, and in general just sort of smashed everything together. 

All original records used, no b.s. mp3's or anything...buy it if you want. DJ Inform would appreciate your support, more on DJ Inform here...

Oddisee-Mental Liberaton Re-release



One of my favourite Producers and MCs these days is the dope Washington D.C born and Maryland raised Oddisee (Diamond District, Ave.To, Trek Life and Oddisee, Stik Figa and Oddisee etc) who released my top Hip Hop instrumental LP of 2010...has re-released the dope Mental Liberation album, which was originally released in 2009 with 3 bonus tracks...

The bonus material includes two instrumentals: one which was previously exclusive to Japanese vinyl is called “Is That Why You’re Here?” and is a particularly jazzy track, heavy on the horns; the second is also horn heavy with an irregular drum pattern and is entitled “Revival”. The third bonus cut is a track Oddisee produced that Motion Man laid 3 verses over called “Holding It Back".
In addition, there is of course the classic 2009 producer’s album, Mental Liberation, which features J-Live, Rapper Pooh, Georgia Anne Muldrow, MED, Black Milk, Finale, Invincible, LMNO, Hassaan Mackey, Prince Po, Dudley Perkins, Silent Knight, XO, yU, Trek Life, Kenn Starr, Stik Figa, Bilal Salaam, DJ Clear, and DJ Romes (Lootpack)
