KenLo Craqnuques

I'm not very familiar with Kenlo's work, but on his three beat albums there's some real bangers on here. His most recent one is Mauve, which is like some Flying Lotus type shit. For me, Noir and Bleu are the ones that stand out the most, but make sure you listen to all three. If you would like to check out more from Kenlo, then go to both of his myspaces: http://www.myspace.com/kenlolenarrateur and http://www.myspace.com/kenlocapsules

Kraak & Smaak - Plastic People

After three years from their last LP Boogie Angst, Kraak & Smaak the house act from the Netherlands is back, which is composed of three musicians Oscar De Jong, Mark Kneppers, and Wim Plugreleased. They came out with their latest album this year named Plastic People. I personally enjoyed this album, and I think after three years, Kraak & Smaak have came back better than most do.

Woodblue.

Japanese producers always seem to have really really good music.

Here's a guy who goes by the name of Wooblue. This album is simply amazing. These soulful yet relaxing songs are just...perfect. Sounding very similar to the sound of the Nujabes or Tsutchie, but also it has its originality. Here's both of his LP's from last year, North Surface & North Letter.

Jay Electronica - Swagger Jackson's Revenge.

New shit from the almighty Jay Electronica.
If you haven't been listening to this guy lately, then you've been missing out, big time.

Jay Electronica - Swagger Jackson's Revenge.

Lyrics via Okayplayer.

"its the return of the black moors with no fez
its eerie like that documentary on lisa lopez
pentagrams pyramids conspiracies with goat heads
knock down the levees
knock down the projects
start another project
build another object
a drive thru touchscreen doctrine for me to digest
we just horses with our blinders on
drivin by the obvious
regardless who vote for
if the mind dont grow
and the poverty line dont go
but the dope keep coming
and the tv keep flashing images of a
sports car
then you bound for a coke war
the meek get clowned by the coke law(s)
the sheep get drowned in the folklore
then lulled to sleep by tom brokaw
what a pitty
the hope on a politicians tongue
never ever trickle down the city
so if a nigga put a presidents mask on
and run up in the bank with a mac saying gimme gimme
i aint glad at him
but i aint mad at him
if anybody ask you who i be
say
a painter with a felt pen who Drew Ali
im like Cassius when i blast molasses
out the ass of the masses
from fulton street mall to gratiot
im handin out free at last kits
yo jay where ya staff at?
Green(Lantern) said you threw it
yeah.
i outgrew it
some blogs said i blew it
nigga fuck yo blog
jigga man said you cant knock the hussle dog
im on the same launchin pad that shot russel off
thats why i stay dougie"

Cloud - Loose.

New Shit from New York's own, Cloud.
Be on the look out for this guy, man. This guy is onto something.
If you still haven't picked up Pimp Steak, I suggest you do. It's hands down my favorite instrumental CD of the year 2008.

Anyways, Here you go.

Black Milk - Music From The Color Purple.

Released a little before Black Milk's Tronic album was released, this beat tape is pretty self explanitory. Just another beat tape wondering around the internet waiting to be heard. Knowing Black Milk, you wont be disappointed at all.

Tree City - Black Trees.

Having already established a name for themselves in Ann Arbor, Tree City (Please Click) recently have collaborated with one of Detroit's finest, Black Milk (Not really a collaboration, but more of a consent from Black Milk to use beats from "Music From The Purple Tape"). This has been in my music rotation, heavily for the past few weeks.

Anyways, These guys are all very talented in their own special way.
Definitely a must listen.
