Earlier this year, LA-based musician and producer Mndsgn (pronounced 'Mind Design') shared his third full-length for influential US indie label Stones Throw. Entitled Rare Pleasure, the album may well be Mndsgn's most expansive release to date, housing 13 slick and soulful cuts that veer between jazzy and psychedelic, deep R&B and something that could easily slot into a soundtrack or two.

For those who've yet to check out the album, or may be new to Mndsgn's work, his Sunday Mix offers an excellent primer into his sound and generation-spanning inspiration pool. With tracks from artists like John Fiddy, Don Blackman and The Ordells, it's a groove-led and mellow offering built for the summertime.

For the first show of 2022, Carhartt WIP Radio welcomes @dj-spinna-1, the legendary hip hop and deep house innovator from Brooklyn, NYC.

For 30 years Spinna has been a vital part of his hometown’s music legacy. He launched his recording career as a member of the underground hip hop group Jigmastas, before going on to work with the likes of Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, and De La Soul. In addition, he has made his mark as a solo artist, releasing benchmark albums like “Here to There“ from 2002, as well as countless e.p.’s, compilations and remixes for legends and stars like Donald Byrd, Roy Ayers, Mary J. Blidge, or Steve Wonder.

Since his earliest days, he has been known as an eclectic dj, playing music at the cross-section of hip hop, house, soul, r&b, funk, and jazz. He is also an early proponent of parties dedicated to one artist. His “WONDER-full” DJ nights dedicated to Steve Wonder, and his “Soul Slam” events, better known as the “Michael Jackson VS Prince” parties, became celebrated gatherings all over the USA.
 
For Carhartt WIP Radio DJ Spinna has conducted a mix, which he describes as “time traveling through my early days of underground hip hop with my group Jigmastas and releases from our Beyond Real label, [before] journeying on with some of my earlier remix works and showing my evolution into House Music.”

Carhartt WIP Radio February 2024: PRECIOUS

To close out the year, we’re bringing you a very special Carhartt WIP Radio episode featuring none other than Alan Daniel Maman – better known as @thealchemistofficial

A globally-renowned producer and DJ, celebrated for his significant contributions to hip hop, Alchemist grew up in the Westside of LA, immersed in skateboarding, graffiti, and music.

Alchemist started out as a rapper in the early 90s in the duo The Whooliganz, but his breakthrough as a producer came later in the decade, making beats for Dilated Peoples and Mobb Deep. By the early 2000s, Alchemist had risen to prominence with his signature sample-based production, which blended elements of jazz, soul, and psychedelic rock. This led to collaborations with rappers like Nas, Fat Joe, Jadakiss, and Ghostface Killah.

In 2004, Alchemist released his debut album “1st Infantry,” and his sophomore album “Chemical Warfare” in 2009, which featured contributions from Eminem, Pusha T, Talib Kweli and Twista. A slew of collaborative projects also followed, such as “Rare Chandeliers” with Action Bronson, “Alfredo” with Freddie Gibbs, and “Continuance” with Curren$y.

For this year’s final show, Alchemist delivers an exclusive mix that transports us back to 2000, a pivotal year marked by his move to New York, when he would cross paths with Mobb Deep’s Prodigy and Havoc.  Listen to the mix and read an accompanying interview at https://www.carhartt-wip.com/en/journal/music/radio/2024/12/artist-feature-alchemist

Fredfades - Touchdown Soul #4 (2016)

When Detroit native John Derek Yancey, better known as Illa J, released his album "Home,” in 2017, it was partly an act of self-affirmation for the rapper-slash-singer. As the younger brother of hip hop legend J Dilla, who tragically passed away in 2006, the 32-year-old artist has spent much of his career in the shadow of his illustrious sibling – even playing a bit-part role in Slum Village after Dilla’s death. Around 2014, he eventually parted with the crew and moved to Montreal where he would hone his artistic skillset, free from the influence of his native Detroit peers. On returning to his hometown, he went straight to the studio to record “Home.” It was the album that would see him step out of his brother’s shadow for the first time, showcasing his talent not simply as a rapper, but as an accomplished, ambitious vocalist. Last November he released his latest album, the eponymously titled “John Yancey.” It’s one which oscillates more sharply between R&B and hip hop, delivering twelve songs of wispy vocals and breathless raps. For Carhartt WIP Radio, Yancey has selected some of his tunes, that DJ Glenn Astro put together to showcase the eclectic nature of his work, from that raw rap talent shown on his first album – the 2008 release “Yancey Boys” – to a more mature, mellow artist a decade on.

As usual, we also sat down with the artist, to discuss music, family, his hometown and why people from Detroit have such a special affinity for Prince. Make sure to check out the full interview on our Carhartt WIP website and enjoy the music.
