Audessey & aCatCalledFRITZ - BPM Instrumentals (Album Stream)

Open YOUR heart

This is a never-before-released demo pulled from my personal vault. Part of the "Vault series" with new drops every Tuesday & Thursday, only on SoundCloud.

Put On (Demo 2023)

GRANDGOOD.COM: (http://grnd.gd/2CmEilU) This collection of music focuses on the independent voice in hip-hop, where the tension of selling records to mass markets tends to be less pronounced. This doesn't exclusively mean unsigned and you'll note some music from career musicians. But even with long term artists the songs we selected felt less encumbered. Because of my heavy hand you'll also have to deal with an east coast bias but yo that ain't necessarily a bad thing all the time, is it?

Thanks to <a href="http://www.djsheep.com/">DMC champion DJ Sheep</a> you can listen to the <a href="https://soundcloud.com/grandgood/grandgoodcom-standout-rap-2017-mixed-by-dj-sheep/">professionally mixed version</a> featuring 40 or so of the 55 tracks listed below, recorded live in one take on 2 turntables and a mixer at the Bulletproof Crates lab in Brisbane, Australia on New Years Day 2018. You can also stream a warm <a href="https://www.mixcloud.com/grndgdcsstte/grandgood-standout-rap-of-2017-audiocast/">@cv_ tape version</a> and thereafter you might recall what it was like dubbing tapes for your close friends in '88. We also have playlists on soundcloud and youtube you can hit shuffle on (yea we know, but Spotify doesn't have most of the music).

Goes without saying but special thanks to the artists, we appreciate what you do. The Hip-Hop community suffered <a href="http://grandgood.com/category/qepd/rip/">great loss in 2017</a> and not enough can be said about the lost talent. At the same time, enthusiasm from young heads and old heads alike keeps it going. Lest we forget, many founding artists, like Coke La Rock pictured above, <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/155302481@N07/albums/72157664169668918/with/24536074467/">continue to walk among us</a>.  So again, big up to all the artists but also the rest of the community of listeners, show promoters, podcasters, writers.... 

Special shout to Dj Sheep for lending his hand, literally. Peace to Ming for capturing stunning images of the legends throughout the year. And of course @CV_ for his dedication and influence. Participation is critical. Thank goodness for contemporary rap.

Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 131 (Guest set from Dad Bod Rap Pod)

Another great guest mix this week: Bruce Phillips take the helm. From Bruce: "This mix consists of 45s that I recently acquired and others that I found myself revisiting in the days of quarantine. It's a musical journey through various styles, rhythms, feelings, highlighting the diversity of the human experience. All original pressings used."

I've been following Bruce on Instagram and checking out his mixes for awhile now, and really enjoyed the records he highlights. Much appreciation to him for this set! Follow Bruce at http://mixcloud.com/BrucePhillips and http://instagram.com/brucephillips15

Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 132 (Guest set from Bruce Phillips)

Cop a 45 here: https://nobodybuysrecords.bigcartel.com/product/mc-juice-where-you-go-199-blue-splatter-vinyl-copies

Digital copies: https://bankrupteuropeans.bandcamp.com/track/digital-mc-juice-where-you-go

Lyrical genius, the undisputed king of barz MC JUICE is back on wax spittin fire over a moody Bankrupt Euros beat! 

The track is a playful, yet hard hitting up tempo groove on which JUICE spews his incomprable flow and wordplay, along with his familiar lyricism and one liners, while addressing social injustice and tragedy on the melodic chorus.

The song was inspired by the untimely deaths of Nipsey Hussle, Kobe Bryant and George Floyd, to name a few.

Rapper Juice WRLD mentioned he had named himself after MC JUICE. And Eminem recently remarked on Mike Tyson’s podcast that it was ”Ok” he lost to JUICE because to this day JUICE is “still a great fucking rapper”.

The street edit features DJ Grazzhoppa's scratches as a chorus, whereas the club mix is sure to keep fans moving and rewinding while singing the catchy hook featuring JUICE’s partner in rhyme B-Girl.

There are 199 hand-numbered blue splatter vinyl copies and just 99 black vinyl copies available – once they’re gone they’re gone! Like our last 45 they come with a hype sticker on our dope Nobody-Buys-Records’ company sleeve, and with an extra inner paper sleeve included.

VENDETTA VINYL BROADCAST #8

After Breonna Taylor again saw no justice this past week, I felt compelled to break from Pullin from the Stacks and put together something about abolition - abolition of the police, of prisons, of the systems of repression operating throughout this country. Took a few days but here is a mix in the vein of my "Zinnstrumentals" tapes, featuring some interview excerpts of brilliant people talking abolition over a blend of hip-hop instrumentals from the crates. I urge everyone to take a listen, especially if you're not sure about abolition yourself. And I also urge everyone listen to the full interviews and recordings, which I've linked to below. Thanks so much to all the amazing people pushing for abolition and social change right now.
