Dr. Stokley.  So old school and still so cool. Holistic healer for the dark heart.  Stimulator of the mind.  Inoculating you with sharp darts.  Old dirty record addict.  Heads have been waiting 4 years for a new Dudley Perkins solo record - this Black Friday November 29th it arrives.  The new album Dr. Stokley finds Dudley over production from Kankick, Georgia Anne Muldrow, and Madlib. This is Dudley at his eccentric best, fiery and passionate, killin' emcees with that heavy fOnk straight from the soul. 

Pre-Order the album today and get the first track "Foot Surgery" produced by Kankick.

"I Wanna" produced by Keor Meteor. I'm proud to have Canyonland re-released as part of the Jarkata Dub Plate series.

Canyonland is a conceptual album that revolves around Henry Canyons' journey to Los Angeles, his struggle to adjust to a new life there, his coming to terms and attempts to keep a solid connection with his identity as a "half-French, Jewish Brooklynite" that has been transplanted into a place that is wildly different from what he was used to. It also outlines his efforts to solidify his personal and professional spheres, his romantic ups and downs and his perspective on Los Angeles life in general. Musically-speaking, this album is a much smoother ride than the topic itself betrays. Henry's baritone voice glides effortlessly over a beautiful, West-Coast boom-bap backdrop (produced by Keor Meteor), riding the tempo with technically proficient flow and great lyrics. Zoe Rose, a very talented, jazzy and soulful singer/songrwiter, makes several appearances throughout, lending her silky-smooth voice to many of the choruses. Freddy Jay provides some funky vinyl cuts on others. Open Mike Eagle also makes an appearance, lending a great guest-verse. Overall, Canyonland is a great album for both casual listeners who want something they can easily throw on in the car for a relaxing listen or more hardcore listeners who like to dig into the lyrics and think about what a rapper is conveying.

Steve of Open Crates troops from Jersey City to Brooklyn to see Pat Van Dyke & John Robinson get busy at The Brooklyn Museum First Saturdays for the release of their Modern Vintage album. 

In BK fashion, the museum was deep in rhythm with JR on the mic, PVD leading the band, Melinda Camille crooning melodies and a cast of special guests around the stage. 

Halfway through the set, Shabaam Sahdeeq (Rawkus, Soundbombing, you should know) and El da Sensei (Artifacts, tags all over Jersey, you should know again) , dipped in twin Polo Rugbys, grab the mic to perform the album cut Vinyl Is Forever. 

And as expected, three lyrical Gods can’t get off without a freestyle session … one that brings Homeboy Sandman out of the audience to flip verses over the band workin' out Bob James’ classic "Nautilus". 

When the cipher ended, Steve immediately texted Pat to cut a side of Nautilus and flip Love You Inside Out (just cuz he loves that record) with Melinda Camille. Re:Crates was born.

Backwoodz Studioz is proud to announce the upcoming release of Henry Canyons' first full-length LP exclusively under the Backwoodz umbrella. The Cool Side is entirely produced by Henry’s longtime collaborator, Bones, with guest features from billy woods and Homeboy Sandman. It’s a project that finds Henry putting his effortless flows to the test over Bones’ rangy production, flipping new styles with every changeup and beat switch.

“Cool Side didn’t start as an album,” Henry explains, “Bones and I started making random joints that were almost all jazz/funk samples; I’d send him sample ideas and he would send me back a beat the next day”. It was a fun thing that they talked about making into an EP, but was briefly shelved when Henry accepted an artists’ residency in Biarritz, France in the fall of 2016. 

After the residency was completed, Henry returned to the project with new perspective. “I was still in France, and in a different place mentally, physically and emotionally. Also Bones’ production had taken a darker, more pensive turn.  What came out were reactions to being abroad and isolated during a time of upheaval at home”

Bones admits that he stepped outside his own comfort zone in order to full realize Henry’s vision. “Most of my own production has more of a pop orientation. Generally, I'm into layers and harmonies and catchy hooks. But with Henry I actively tried to stray away from that,” he remembers .  

This duality frames The Cool Side both artistically, and in it’s presentation. Side A and Side B reflects not just the sides of the vinyl, but the tensions between past and present, between the ideal and the real.  While you may recognize Henry from his stellar features on albums by Backwoodz fixtures billy woods (Today, I Wrote Nothing)  and Willie Green (Doc Savage), The Cool Side of the Pillow finds Henry Canyons in a milieux all his own.
