PRESS INFO:
Tune in, turn on, drop out! „The Trip“ is Dexter's long-awaited follow-up to his seminal „Jazz Files“ album. The German gold & platinum producer (Casper , Cro), and Hi-Hat Club member is letting his hair down by turning the late 60ties psychedlic rock sound into hip-hop.

„The Trip“ is all about free love, LSD, hash, fuzz guitars, tablas and revolution, and at the same time probably one of the most free-thinking hip-hop albums of 2013. Dexter's music has been in its own cloud for a while now, but none of his previous records have been as far-out as „The Trip“. With a concept similar to the „The Jazz Files“ Dexter is telling his personal psych story, one that has been triggered by his diggin habits. „I like nearly every music from the late 60ties“, he says, „My whole musical spectrum has been shaped by this era. It was a time when everything was in progress - art, film, music, society. And I wanted to bring this vibe across on this album.“

Artwork comes from Robert (photos) and Gizem Winter (illustrations). The first single from „The Trip“ will be „Pictures“ and features Berlin singer Josa Peit on vocals.

LP comes with gatefold cover & download card


Dexter - You & I

Taken from Marco Polo's forthcoming free-LP Newport Authority 2 as Marco states “I’ve recorded so much quality material over the last few years and I really want to share it all. It couldn't all possibly fit on Port Authority 2; hence Newport Authority 2 came to be" Marco states.

"Fame & I first connected on "Smoke" off of the Double Barrel LP. Since then we've been steadily working on music.  Here's a track called "Fame for President".  He gets my vote!  Also check for another Lil  Fame appearance on Port Authority 2....enjoy." 

Newport Authority 2 will feature appearances from Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Artifacts, Das Efx, Lil Fame (M.O.P.), Torae & Ruste Juxx all rocking over Marco’s production.

Yet, the project everyone should really be excited for is Marco’s Port Authority 2 LP which will be released this spring on Soulspazm Records. Port Authority 2 features appearances from Organized Konfusion (yes, a new Organized Konfusion track!!), Gangrene, Talib Kweli, DJ Premier, Masta Ace, Posdnuos (De La Soul), Kardinal Offishal, Styles P, Nature, Rah Digga, Slaine, Celph Titled, Ill Bill, Large Professor, Inspectah Deck, O.C. & many many more.

With the fifth and final leak before Marco Polo drops his highly-anticipated free-LP, Newport Authority 2, Marco states "I did a remix for "Stand Up" off the brand new Adrian Younge presents The Delfonics project (who am I big fan of, y'all should cop anything he's a part of.) Adrian sent me the album early and I made this beat. Tragedy was originally gonna lay down one verse on this on some freestyle sh*t, but once I started hearing his bars I refused to let this be a one verse song! Three verses later and appropriate hook by Slap aka Fizzy Womack aka Lil Fame we have the "Stand Up" remix. Tragedy will have an alternate version of this song on his upcoming album as well. Now please enjoy the final leak from Newport Authority 2!"

Dexter - Pictures feat. Josa Peit

Back in 2011 Baltimore emcee Substantial was facing the possibility of cancer. He ended up having preventive surgery and while laid up, decided to start working on a tribute album to Jill Scott, one of his biggest influences. It was his was of staying busy while healing, and at the same time to give the people their roses while they can still smell them. The result is a free project Substantial calls "Jackin' Jill" - a tribute project from Substantial built by "Jackin" music from various Jill Scott releases. This collection of reworks and remixes of her work blended by DJ Jav form a cohesive pseudo collaboration focused on life, love & music.

Today, as Substantial heads back into the doctor's for a follow up examine 2 years later, we are unveiling the cover art (drawn by Substantial himself) from the 17 track project, plus a taste of what's to come with the track "Golden Lady" a reworking of the amazing Stevie Wonder track from "Innervisions" that Substantial uses to play off the track Golden from Jill Scott's Beautifully Human album (the last song Kool Herc played at Substantial's wedding). Substantial adds to this Marcus D produced tribute track the gorgeous vocals of Steph The Sappic Songstress. Be sure to listen to Marcus D on piano throughout as well. The result is a richly layered, beautiful new track from one of Baltimore's most thoughtful and talented artists, Substantial.

from Jackin' Jill, track released 07 March 2013
featuring Steph The Saphic Songstress
