Deep Conditioning: Jan 18

Samiyam is Sam Baker, hip-hop producer working out of the same dusty corners of Los Angeles that brought us Flying Lotus, Jonwayne, Gaslamp Killer, Ras G and so many others.

Sam Baker's Album was his debut, released on Brainfeeder in 2011. More
recent credits include production for Captain Murphy's Duality and Earl Sweatshirt's Doris.

Wish You Were Here is his first release with Leaving Records & Stones Throw. It's sixteen tracks ­ instrumentals with three rap tracks featuring
Evidence, The Alchemist and Samiyam, making his debut on the mic. "I'm just trying to show where I'm coming from," he says, "I'm not about futuristic spaceship beats, just straight forward hip-hop."

follow up from Unmentioned, the first installment of #classicTwenty16s. 
Chris Classic started off the year by releasing 10 of the 20 songs with at least 16 bars. it was meant to be a quick flurry of music, but life got in the way. In an effort to keep his word, here are the remaining 10, AllMost Forgot, a play on the last minute effort (he began recording December 10th, 2016) and the fact his style of rap is what mostly all hip hop fans have seemed to forget.

His name has been uttered by newfound fans across the country and has even been mentioned internationally. Tobe is described as an “inspirational artist” whose lyrical content penetrates the minds of its listeners & ignites re within their hearts. Tobe has a tremendously unique way of creating music that relates to a variety of demographics. While Tobe is college educated, he is also aware of his modest upbringing, its environment, and the unfavorable lifestyle typically associated with it. This duality gives Tobe a rare perspective of both sides, allowing him to deliver content that is relatable to a variety of audiences; from the neighborhood corners to the corner o ces –his message is crafted to inspire all. Tobe has worked hard to earn his rising rank hoping to one day be labeled a great. Getting signed to ETA records transcended the dynamic of his in uence. Enabling him a bigger stage to spread his powerful message on a vast level. He has become a voice to the younger generation inspiring a positive direction of life. The Get Twisted Sundays started as just a “so gone” challenge and is now growing into a positive viral movement. Every Sunday Tobe puts together a freestyle rap with a dope video and posts it onto his social media outlets. The Get twisted fans grew massively and quickly, this grew into the creation of the Mixtape. Now Tobe is now featured on the cover of Young Magazine and has also recently dropped his Get twisted Sundays Volume 1 Mixtape. With greater things in store it has already been a long road for Tobe but he is just getting started.

To add to the social activism of Classic's viral edit of the racist H&M photo, he continues to use his talent and platform to reclaim ownership and change the narrative of the phrase "Coolest Monkey In The Jungle".
Produced by Seige Monstracity.

Coolest Monkey In the Jungle

I came across a website offering a plethora of downloadable studio/homemade acapellas and got really excited when I saw MJ's "Got to Be There" Here is my take on it.
