Tuesday Forecast

Welcome to yet another week. Very excited about the Step Brothers (Evidence & Alchemist) album, both are solid on their own but when together garnish a special kind of chemistry. I’m definitely weary of the new Smif N Wessun reggae album but will have to give it a listen out of respect, hopefully it’ll fare better than Aceyalone’s reggae tinged misstep. Then there’s some great UK sample based hip hop, psych/jazz from norway’s Bushman’s Revenge, some straight forward jazz with Jeremy Pelt, latin jazz/funk/soul, some Mazzy Star type Warpaint indie, and another great re-issue from the Minneapolis based Secret Stash Records (who I just got turned on to by a fine ass young lady through a holiday gift). There’s some stuff going on, dig through.

Tuesday Forecast

It’s been a few years since I’ve listened to Black Milk, I just couldn’t get passed the preposterous, ubiquitous “BBBBLLLLLAAAAACCCCKKKKK MMMMMMMILK!!!!” overdub on every single track. Tiresome. But perhaps he’s finally letting his music speak for itself and give it some room to breath. Devin the Dude also had a bit too much output in too short of a time but it’ll be good to hear his voice again after these past couple years. I’m also looking forward to this Prefuse 73 and Teebs collabo under the name Sons of the Morning.

The stand out up and comers of the week though I think will go to L’Orange and Stik Figure as well as Kwes. The City Under the City sounds pretty commanding and another welcome addition to the Mellow Music Group catalog. And Kwes, he’s on some mellowed out, electronic, crooning, good for a rainy day.

Tuesday Forecast- New Music Releases 06.11.13

Hip Hop

Fat Tony drops some more sharp-witted southern swagger. Prodigy and Alchemist bring the expected eery, doom. The White Mandingos (Murs, Sacha Jenkins from EgoTrip, & Darryl Jenifer of Bad Brains) take on the dangerous territory of conceptual punk/rock/hip hop and nail it, including a cover of Minor Threat’s “Guilty of Being White.” They’re definitely flippin the color line on this joint. JNatural rounds out the week with a feminine but no less powerful Bad Woman Rising.

Electronic/a, bleeps, blips

When people seem to hype up and keep talking about an upcoming release it gets annoying, but I gotta say I am looking forward to the new Boards of Canada album. So there, ’nuff said.

Damn. Big one this week. Scroll through and check ‘em out. Besides the obvious, Nas and Frank Ocean, I’m really digging Motel Mari and Murs did a collabo with a graphic novel! Then there’s the Alchemist, Piano Overlord (Prefuse 73), Com Truise, and on and on…
