room service for #237
Jan 26th, 2011 by elmattic
A little roundup of recommendations and club sandwiches while the next mix keeps kicking my ass.
- Open Mike Eagle :: Helicopter Podcast Episode 1 OME spins some of his most loved tracks, speaks on Project Blowed, what's coming in 2011 and suchlike.
- Uncommon Records :: Podcast [subscribe here on the iTunes] Def Jux graduate, engineer extraordinaire and founder of Uncommon, Nasa and friends hook up this meaty show.
- Pure and crew have been hooking up Pitch Control Radio, and it's dope.
- Third Sight and Tenshun have a bunch of new tracks streaming on the ol' Soundcloud (which I still don't understand why it's not taking off. Maybe it's the Howard Johnson's color scheme.)
- L*Roneous :: The Roller Coaster EP got slept on, but now everyone's playing catch up...some definite '90s style head-nodders on here.
- Skip Coon & Mr. Nick :: Independents Day EP starts the year with a fresh drop.
- Mister Cee :: Best of Mobb Deep mixtape takes the grimy way to QB.
- The Dirty Sample :: The Insane Chessboard is an 11-track Ghostface remix set...goes well with the hilarious faux-Face Chronicles.
- Memory Man :: I Am... (The Unauthorized Autobiography) takes on Nas' weakest LP and gives it newer, better beats.
- Nocando's 'Hurry Up And Wait' [below] was definitely an MMX Honorable Mention I missed. You can also hear him flip verses over El-P's 'Time Won't Tell' instro here.
