Oddisee – Odd Renditions EP

The Marvin Gaye remix from this EP, “Ain’t that Peculiar” just about sums up the glory of Oddisee. He is easily one of the most under-rated MC/Producers in the game right now. His music spans so many different genres – but each piece of his work is done tastefully. This EP features the following remixes:…

Napolian – Rejoice EP

Fuck yes for new Napolian material but fuck me for not listening to it/posting it sooner. With the Mexican Summer co-sign, Napolian is hitting us with his dopest shit yet, with synths smashing you across the face all the way through this EP. Pure bliss is all I have to say but MS put it…

Dogg Master – Bedroom Dance

G-Funk is NOT dead! I was definitely moved by the music today at this popping battle I attended which consisted of some great revival G-Funk. One of the artists who was getting a lot of spins was Dogg Master, a French artist who is keeping the West Coast style alive over in Europe. Think of…
