Name: Beat Du Jour - Hammer by Batsauce
Duration: 1 min 20 s
Description: 97th beat from the beat series, Beat Du Jour. Served up fresh daily, directly from my beat machine to you.

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of 93 'Til Infinity, Souls of Mischief graciously opened their vaults to give Gummy Soul the exclusive acapellas of their classic album, to remix for the first time ever. 

As the framework of the project, Gummy Soul’s Wally Clark, dug through his extensive record collection, and gathered all of the songs that were sampled to make hip-hop in 1993. Jazz, Funk and Soul songs, used to create classics from Digable Planets, Snoop Dogg and Black Moon, were then re-contextualized to provide familiar, yet updated versions of some of hip-hop’s most beloved material. 

"I wanted to take all of the records that people used back then, and create new compositions using the same techniques they were using – such as filtered bass lines, classic drum breaks, echo-y horns – to make an album that sounds like it could have been released in 1993," says Clark. "It was an amazing exercise trying to capture the essence of a sacred time in hip-hop. It also allowed me to playfully use samples that are normally deemed off-limits, because they are too well known." 

Be on the look out for Soul's of Mischief's new album "There Is Only Now," produced by Adrian Younge, as well as the 93 'Til documentary, featuring Questlove, Mos Def, 9th Wonder, Pete Rock and more.

Biggie - 'Somebody's Gotta Die' (Phoniks Remix)

Pre-order: jakartarecords-label.bandcamp.com/album/ja…bplate-6

"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.

Had a lot of people ask about this one on Instagram so here you go.

Royal Flush - World Wide (Phoniks Remix)

PUTS has always celebrated youth culture and people from all walks of life, social classes, ideologies, identities, religions and countries. 20 years of touring opened my mind to the most powerful force in human nature - unity.  And, while many may choose to privately grumble about the current divisive state of America, I can no longer remain silent as Trump and the RNC undermine objective reality. There is truth. There is real news. It is happening in front of our eyes, indisputable - just as sure as they called climate change a "chinese hoax" to selling out our national parks and oceans to the very real effort to subvert reality through social media manipulation and bots. This is no conspiracy, it's happening in front of us, plain to see. 2,000 lies on record, while using dog whistle politics to rile up hatred and bigotry in his base. We can’t let this become the new normal.

Hip hop will always speak for the voiceless, those who struggle yet aspire for change. We will not tolerate this - Thes

Dog-whistles in a no-kill kennel of mutts/ They so proud/
He got ‘em riled up foaming at mouth and barkin’ loud/
Or louder than their bite at least/ Livin’ in their own shit/
Too dumb, protect the dogcatcher ‘cause he’s rich/ 
A cartoon buffoon/ A new money royal/
a FOX in the henhouse to egg on the loyal/
Yes! He’s from the soil, Nope he’s not born in Kenya/ 
Or Benghazi, Emails or Female, Shariah!/
The enemies are you and me & anyone who disagrees/
With reason, or logic – Now we committing Treason/
No cohesion now but watch this/ Eyes on my right fist/
To the sky, hold it high/ While I yell RESIST!
‘Cause orange Voldemort wanna deport my family/
Destroy my planet while insulting my damn sanity/
& Sean Hannity will broadcast “alternative facts”:
We’re nothing but scary Mexicans & murderous Blacks &
Liberal Gays – they can’t understand the youth/ 
RNC distort reality at war with the truth/ 
But grab your thinking cap, ‘cause it’s time to go to war
Against hate/ Muthafucka make America Great
They Got

Racists making noise
Sayin’ be good girls and boys
But our time to stand is now.
Don’t you wanna come with me?
X2

Don’t get me wrong both sides may share blame
But the one driving the train is clinically insane/ 
He got The Nuclear Football/ yep, look it up/
He got The Nuclear Football/ He one call away
From erasing our small planet can you understand?
That amount of blood on a small orange hand?
From Heather Heyer to encouraging police to beat ‘em
On “Many Sides on Many Sides”/ Feed ‘em lies 
Illegalize our progress I guess they Beat the odds/
Got you believing that the Earth is flat and eating Tide Pods/
Social Media madness/ I vacillate between sadness and
Pure depression but the lesson’s possession of that top seat/
Doesn’t mean us people below/ are powerless unless
You throw up your hands and don’t vote.
So all of us off the boat from “Shithole Countries”/
Rapists, Murderers, Gays and Junkies
Unite for the fight if only for what’s right/
Take a second your fist in the air and shine your light
On these  
Rascists making noise...

No rappers would, so I guess I had to do it/
Fuck Betsy DeVos, Ryan Zinke and Scott Pruitt/
Climate Change is real, corporate greed has no conscious/
The earth is worth saving more than increasing their profit/
And we’re all in the same boat/
But you would never think it/ based upon the way
The captain and his crew are trying to sink it/
And a lot of baby boomer voters made a big mistake/
Because they’re white they thought he might
Share with them a piece of steak/ and for maybe
A thousand dollars more on their tax return/
They sold their country out man, Burn baby Burn/
It’s collective amnesia/ He “grabbed them by the pussy”?
Then Trump voters have no balls/ Living in fear still 
Hoping for a wall but the wall was in your mind the whole time/
Partisan politics made ‘em blind to objective reality/
But here’s some real news/ 
If we don’t take back our nationality, We all lose.
They got
Racists making noise..

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.

Pencils Not Pistols is the brand new E.P. from UK duo Imperial and K.I.N.E.T.I.K. This unlikely duo linked up in late 2012 after Imperial (now affectionately known as Big Dave because of his mighty 6’4’’ frame) sent K.I.N.E.T.I.K. (who has yet to be blessed with ANOTHER alias) a polite email requesting to collaborate. After being impressed with the spelling, grammar and attached beat in the email, K.I.N.E.T.I.K. jumped at the chance to work on some music with this courteous chap. What initially began as a track for Imperial’s yet to be released solo album, slowly morphed into a collaborative project, which once again utilizes the tried and tested formula of one producer and one emcee. Following copious amounts of parma ham and pavlova, the two discovered that they not only share a similar outlook on music but on life itself. This mutual foresight enabled them to craft seven interlinked songs that all touch on different subjects in an honest yet humorous manner. Most importantly, the project reinforces the divine duality of the human experience, even in the midst of the laughs and giggles contained throughout.

The sample-based production on Pencils Not Pistols united both Imperial and K.I.N.E.T.I.K. in their love for that strong tradition in Hip Hop. The duo pay homage with their artwork; as it is a parody of Biz Markie’s album, I Need A Haircut. As you might know, that was the album that changed music sampling law forever. Gilbert O’Sullivan… we see you. Sigh.

Future plans include a limited edition album of Pencils Not Pistols on vinyl with official merchandise. All funding will be generated by fan support.

In closing, if Bill & Ted canceled a few excellent adventures and decided to make a Hip Hop project; then it would probably sound like this... Put your pencils in the air.
