31/10/2011Hip-hop/Soulhip-hop, People Under the Stairsudalaka

Altough chours is about weed – like in many hip-hop tracks – and the rest of the story is not a poetry of my life, this track has such a great flow, that I can listen to it a lot. Great hip-hop from west coast.

Ćmy “Frozen Memories”

Ćmy is a Polish project created by Milton Waukee, better known as Yaro, and DJ George a.k.a. Jorge Saxon (Yaro’s long time music friend and co-worker). If You like Skalpel, You might also like them. Their music is a journey to a nu-jazz domain, with a cut’n paste chic. Full of nice details with a great sense of sound and rythm. Some of their music has a nice “Ninja Tune like vibe”, which I like a lot.
I recommend to visit the website of the project, where You can listen to all 3 of their albums.

Nujabes “Imaginary Folklore”

19/07/2011Hip-hop/Soulhip-hop, instrumental hip-hop, Nujabesudalaka

Recently I came across Nujabes – japanese hip-hop musician and producer. Propably for many hip-hop fans he is well known, but for me it is a great discovery. You defineitely should take a look on his works full of deep, slow beat, great samples and a proper flow. Lots of jazz inluences are also there.
Unfortunetely he died last year in a car accident in Tokyo. DJ Premiere was his fan. This means something ;-)

Here are his MySpace profile, Last.fm profile and label links.
