People under the Stairs - Hit the Top (Soulseize Remix)

“FLOATING IN SPACE” is a cosmic rap-funk trip — sharp bars, neon beats, and stitched-up surreal vibes, from city streets to the stars in one wild ride.

Floating In Space.mp3


This is Marvin. This is Soul. You didn't hear it through the grapevine—you heard it flowing out the speakers of your dad’s record player. But as time passes, and seasons change, music is often reincarnated into new forms, based on old recipes. 



32 years after Marvin Gaye’s tragic passing death, we shed a tear and celebrate his life with this refreshing tribute, just in time for what would have been The Prince of Soul’s 77th birthday. 



Counterweight Records' DJ Devastate and synth guru, Segerfalk recently made the trip to Analog Sweden’s studio, to breathe new life into Marvin’s time honored classic, "Heard It Through The Grapevine.” The concept of classic meets contemporary is magnified with verses contributed by emcees Joe Lefty and Chapee, the latter of which who recently dropped his debut solo LP, Mode7ty, produced by Tommy Black, who's sounds you may already be familiar with on “Institutionallized, off Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly LP.



Independent label Counterweight Records has lots more in store for 2016. This spring you’ll hear more from Chapee, along with beatsmith Max I Million, and his anticipated mixtape sequel, The Maxtape 2. But in the meantime, we leave you with the question: "Do You Cry,” a token of gratitude to Marvin Gaye and his unforgettable legacy.

Do You Cry - Feat Chapee & Joe Lefty (Prod. Devastate & Segerfalk)

Pre-order: https://jakartarecords-label.bandcamp.com/album/jakarta-dubplate-6

Henry Canyon's album "Canyonland" was originally released on bandcamp something like a year ago without any distribution behind it and we felt it was painfully unnoticed. So all in all a perfect contender for a Jakarta Dubplate. It was entirely produced by French producer Keor Meteor.

https://soundcloud.com/henry-canyons
https://soundcloud.com/keor-meteor-beats

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.

Pre-order De La Soul’s Plug 1 &amp; Plug 2 present First Serve – The Album Out April 2nd

CD: http://www.smarturl.it/FirstServeCD
2LP: http://www.smarturl.it/FirstServeLP

The last we heard of First Serve it was 3am in a Parisian suburb at an out of control house party with ‘The Goon Time Mixtape’ blasting into the night.  That was just a taste of things to come from De La Soul’s Plug 1 &amp; Plug 2 present ‘First Serve’; a dynamic hip-hop group, an album, a concept, the soundtrack to a movie that has yet to be made and a fable for our times.  

‘First Serve’ is many things, but at its heart it is the story of two young boys from Queens, New York with big dreams and larger rhymes. Two friends, Deen Whitter (aka Plug 2 / Dave) and Jacob ‘Pop Life’ Barrow (aka Plug 1/ Pos), friends from seventh grade, are by their own admission, “different, but the differences seem to complement everything we do.” Their name ‘First Serve’ comes from their motto, “First come, First Serve, get what you deserve.” 

We get a first glimpse into their world in the form of the track "Pushin' Aside, Pushin' Along".  Due to hit the streets in April 2012, the ‘First Serve’ album, made with acclaimed French production team 2 &amp; 4 (aka Chokolate &amp; Khalid),  tells the story of two dreamers in a basement struggling to start their musical career, the battles they face, through to the point that they eventually release their debut single, ‘make it big’ and their hard work and persistence finally pays off. As we know that is rarely where the story ends and the story of ‘First Serve’ is no different. Taking place in an animated world that could have been imagined by Hawley Pratt on Magic Mushrooms, the high spirited and often hilarious journey is pure old school hip-hop; skits, disco, beats, funk, quips, burns and hustlin’ all included.

Same Old Tears 2

We’re excited to share Amerigo Gazaway’s brand new Otis Redding x Big Boi remix, “Shutterbugg”. Inspired by a recent tour stop in Redding’s hometown of Macon, GA (and composed on the road in-between gigs), the producer re-orchestrated instrumental elements from a handful of Redding classics, creating an entirely new production with the vocals of another Georgia native, Outkast’s own Big Boi.
