Promo blurb by Fat Harry: "The ever un-pigeonholable AfroQBen is at it again, more versatile than one of those Genius QVC vegetable cutting devices that slices! and dices! It Cuts! It Chops! It tops and bottoms! Cubes? large or small Madame? It has a safety guard and cleans itself in 4 seconds! It walks the dog, speaks French, pleasures the ladies…or the fellas, it tosses! and comes in two colours! (as does AfroQBen) Blooded-knuckle red or finger nail off-white…all yours for only 3 easy payments of ninety nine nine nine nine nine! And if you call now we’ll throw in a mini-genius chopper! But that’s not all! You’ll also get a massive genius chopper and mega UBERChopU, but that’s not all! We’ll throw in a stack of tupperware! A G-String! And Mexico! Hai Carumba!"

-Big ups to Spinforth for the scour 100 feature, and for the consistant support over the years. He's helped my music get out on a more international scale and responsible for a lot of my followers here on soundcloud. I remember the first time I got scoured, I woke to my phone having a ton of soundcloud notifications, and was wondering what the hell happened... soundcloud.com/spinforth

A.Skillz & Beatvandals - Beat Don't Stop VIP

When Featurecast & The Gaff got a chance to play together recently, it didn't take long to get to talking about their mutual love for Stevie Wonder's "Hey Love" and how the world needed an edit of it, and just like that, a few sleepless nights, some dusty records and a little bit of finesse: "Ain't Got Time" was born! The ultimate Marvin Gaye meets Stevie Wonder track that never existed......So why did a collabo between these two legends never happen? They both recorded for Motown at the same time and were fans of each other!....Here's a little history lesson: 
 "Too busy thinkin bout my baby" was written by the Motown team of Whitfield, Strong, and Bradford in 1965, and first recorded by The Temptations a year later.
Marvin's cover of the tune came out a few years later, and was his 2nd biggest hit of the 60's, right after "Heard It Through The Grapevine" in 1969 at the age of 30...Curious who was in Marvin's heart as he was singin this? If You do the math, it's none other than Tammi Terrel, who he fell deeply in love with as they began working on their tracks ("ain't no mountain high enough) around the same time....Unfortunately, Tammi wasn't into Marvin in that way! She was much younger, early 20's, and apparently favored "darker men", Marvin was a light skinned brother, and perhaps wasn't what caught her eye? Well, that's the breaks, Tammi put on a good show for sure...
Now, Marvin Gaye was 11 years older than Stevie Wonder, who, at the time, was about to breakthrough to his hugely successful crossover lp's at only 19 with "Signed Sealed Delivered"! 
Stevie Wonder's "Hey Love" had come out on his album "Down TO Earth" in '66, at only 16, and a dope version was covered later by SoulSister Bettye Lavette, You should check it! Not many know about that cover :-)
So, there was a big age gap, with marvin bringout out songs of soulful love in his 30's, and Stevie bringin the Funk in his 20's!!!
in 1991, almost 25 years after it was released, De La Soul would flip "Hey Love" into "Talkin bout Hey Love" where it was brought back all over again for a new generation of Hip Hop heads around the world (a young skateboarding gaffer and a LIl Featurecast being 2 of them :-) 
25 years after that, we added in the horns from an early Serge Gainsbourg record so this tune would appeal to fans of De La Soul, be enjoyed by Motown lovers, and any fans of DJ's with dope cuts.....Sampled the OG records to provide the instrumental parts used...
We kept this mix so classic, for old and young alike, even your grandma can still appreciate it, nod her head to the fatback drums, dope cuts and scratches....we hope this version makes its rounds for a long time to come, giving you the Marvin & Stevie collaberation that you always wished for.......cheers!

It's been a while since I dropped my last freebie, so I thought it was high time for some more free music! This is a rework I've been playing loads. Works great for both hip hop or nu disco dance floors. I made a whole new & pretty sweet bassline/synth. Added a few cheeky little vocal chops & generally switched things up! ENJOY!
