When you surround your head space with the music of the legendary veteran producer/rapper Large Professor it’s hard not to have a good time. His music has a vibe wherein the unimportant and frivolous dissipate in the furthest recesses of your mind. Large Professor drops jewels of wisdom and profound insight like they were penny candy. Here is a man who has accomplished plenty in the Rap/Hip Hop game having worked alongside such figures as Eric B. and Rakim. And you can count such Hip Hop notables as Kool G, Kane, Slick, Busta Rhymes, and Common among his peers and proteges. And still thorough the years the man remains true to his origins. After the jump watch his “Keys To The City” video and witness classic Hip Hop at its finest. For more, check out Large Processor’s interview at HipHop DX. Peace.

Born and raised in Bulgaria. DENA is the nouveau Hip Hop global flavored project of Berlin-based songwriter and vocalist Denitza Todorova. It sounds (and looks) like she’s set to make a big splash, everywhere. Initially, DENA’s style reminded me of the Beastie Boys meets M.I.A. with a smidgin of Santigold tossed in just to keep things interestingly relevant. I love the way she attacks the mic with faux bravado without pretentiousness, while still maintaining her integrity and originality. This is authentic and fun inducing Hip Hop. Remember, the way it used to be. Let me know what you think. Peace. Continue reading “dena // cash, diamond rings, swimming pools”
This is the official bio from Garcia The Eclectic’s bandpage, “An ode to the boom bap hip hop of the mid-nineties, Garcia The Eclectic’s “Global Judas” provides a mixture of hardcore battle tracks and emotional content, all with the poverty-stricken, East coast nineties flavor. The album is a sort of audiobiography, including stories and events woven together with violent, suicidal, emotional expression and various nihilistic and quasi-religious philosophical anecdotes; all held together with image-driven hip hop reminiscent of early Nas. Written with careful consideration to detail, this album was crafted with the upmost appreciation for the art of hip hop, and the perfectionist emcee’s effort shines through……delivering a modern classic.” Continue reading “garcia the eclectic // global judas”
