Breeze Brewin's Brew"IN Control"

'Black Hockey Players' was originally going to be featured on my follow up to 2010's 'Revelations' with Florida producer Numonics, but due to creative differences that project was never released. It was later changed to a 10 song EP under the title "BHP", but due to schedule conflicts the project was never completed/released. We've decided to release the song now because music is made to be heard, and BHP needs to be heard and shared with as many people as possible. It's by far my favorite collaborative track. Black Hockey Players is not a rap group or a collection of emcees, it's a concept, a motto to live by. "Black Hockey" represents doing something that is not expected. When you hear the word hockey the last thing one thinks of is "black people", which is why I call myself a "black hockey player", because my music is not made to conform to normal standards or meet generic expectations of what a hiphop artist should do or say. Anyone can be a "black hockey player", regardless of ethnicity. It's all about stepping outside of the box and doing something different. This is the real, authentic and official version based on my vision and brought to life with the help of Ras, Blu, Asia, Twiz, and BeatnickDee. Merry X-mas and Happy New Year to all.

New York rap tag-team Rome Clientel and DJ Concept are back with another ill preview of their upcoming 'The Ambition EP,' in the form of “Life is Good.” It’s a feel-good burner featuring raw guest verses from actor-turned-rapper, Rick Gonzalez (Coach Carter) and Sacramento, Cali spitter, Chuuwee.

Just as they did on previous single “Panoramic,” the duo and their guests throw a new coat of paint to a rap staple on here. While that track flipped a familiar sample from a certain Wu-Tang chef, “Life is Good” arrives with a nod to Biz Markie classic “The Vapors” on the hook: “Damn it feels good to see people up on it.” Indeed, and it also feels good to hear that line again, particularly over such sublime, strings-laden production from DJ Concept.

Go ahead and give the track a listen, and then head over to iTunes where the track is now available for 'Instant Grat' off the pre-order link. 'The Ambition EP' is due out this Friday, Oct. 9 through Soulspazm.

Murs & 9th Wonder Presents "Brighter Daze"

Murs & 9th Wonder Presents - "If This Should End"

"Look What This World Did To Us." The command is rhetorical. You're already aware of the echo, the generational discontent and alienation, the whispered and denied calls for absolution. No need to look around, just check your bank account and sigh-or echo Biggie and scream, "fuck the world." 

Or melt into the couch and absorb Red Pill's debut for Mello Music Group-a novel disguised as an album, a surly hymn from poisoned lungs. It's a confirmation of what John Cage once declared: "all great art is a form of complaint." 

Or maybe the better comparison is Bukowski, memorializing the "broken factory windows of emptiness." That makes more sense in Ferndale, Michigan where Red Pill calls home. After college graduation, "Leonard Letdown" started working at a machine shop. A temporary gig turned into a labor daze. The dream of converting music into rent money seemed more elusive by the day. 

Depression compounded. The empty packs of cigarettes turned into cellophane towers. The whiskey mixed with an absence of hope. This album is a signal flare, an escape route, and catharsis. This isn't just hip-hop, this is an attempt to distill the disillusion and cure the hangover. It's both a brilliant mission statement and a jazzy funeral for what was promised but never delivered. 

This is for those who played by the rules only to discover that the game was rigged. This is a toast for those entering their late 20s and still acting like adolescents. It's an anti-Valentine to marriage and mortgages. It offers empathy for those buried under student loan and credit card debt, but who refuse to sink. Even if the smoke rings appear like nooses, this is an artful rebuttal to the nihilism. 

Your favorite song will be determined by what theme you relate to most. Look What This World Did To Us is in league with the best of early Atmosphere or Open Mike Eagle's Dark Comedy, a modern hustle of machinery and migraines. A commemoration of going a quarter century without a foundation and an acknowledgement of the nerves that accompany a future built atop fault lines. These are the late night conversations you have with your friends. The idle nights and empty bottles, the hard questions that come after you realize the world might not be yours.
