Old Ye right here
Junoflo

Turn it up turn it up, ya systems
And say “ooh lawd” like ya grandma Christian
Everybody gather when I spit that wisdom
But I don’t call em beats, only my next victim
And then I go in, I bless ‘em on the track
I talk up in a rhythm, I call that shit a rap
Defeat foes in beast mode
I speak flows and I’m reppin California to the far East Coast

Infinite styles yall could never box me
I just cop to rock, no suckas get a proxy
I’ma call you Kinko cuz all you do is copy
Our generation hear a song and wonder where the drop be
Fuck a drop, fuck a cop, this is hip hop
If you ain’t with it, take a number and just kick rocks
So you can get lost at the next pit stop
Intelligence and elegance is partly why I get props
So turn it up, turn it up
One time, two time
They say that three a charm
Say wassup, say wassup
To your pops and your moms
Let ‘em know I spit napalm bombs
Tell a friend, tell a foe
In this summer heat Junoflo hella cold
That’s a nice mixture, thinking out the frame in this picture
Wolf blow your house down, now tell me who the victor, ME

Turn it up turn it up, ya systems
And say “ooh Lawd” like ya grandma Christian
Everybody gather when I spit that wisdom
But I don’t call em beats, only my next victim
And then I go in, I bless ‘em on the track
I talk up in a rhythm, I call that shit a rap
Defeat foes in beast mode
I speak flows and I’m reppin California to the far East Coast

These dumb rappers need schooling
Who you think you fooling fronting like the coolest
Acting double XL like a dime, kid
But you really medium like my prime rib
See the time slip, where the time go
Always stay ahead like I’m in another time zone
That homegrown got me spinning like a cyclone
25 to life when I'm letting all my rhymes flow
Like Nas I’m Nasty, I Kim Kardash past that ass
You’ll never catch me
Except on the camera
Hit me with parameters
Ain’t no man alive who could come up to my caliber
I’m the chosen one like Neo in the Matrix
Exposing fake shit while unveiling greatness
Who’da second guessed that Juno be so gracious
Lookin for the green so just show me where the papes is
Now c’mon c’mon show me where it’s at now
1 to the 2 to the 3 to the 4
Now c’mon c’mon show me where it’s at now
1 to the 2 to the 3 to the 4
Now c’mon c’mon show me where it’s at now
Born a warrior, so I never back down
C’mon c’mon show me where it’s at now

Two brothers, surname Summers. London rap duo Summers Sons drop the second single from their forthcoming album project ‘Still Nothing Still’. Turt and Slim have updated their beloved jazz rap sound with a more electronic, trip-hoppy vibe.

In ‘Growing Pains’ Turt deals with the impermanence of life. A topic that has gotten a new urgency for him since having been diagnosed with epilepsy in 2021.“ One thing I've learnt in life is you never see it coming“ Turt explains. “Any day it can all change. The impossible to imagine is just round the corner. For better or worse. Sometimes it's painful but it's all growth. Still nothing still.” The single comes with a great visualizer by Seb Luke-Virgo.

Since 2018 Summers Sons have released four albums (‘Undertones’, ‘Uhuru’, ‘The Rain’, ‘Nostalgia’) and a string of high profile collabos with artists like C.Tappin, Twit One, The Silhouettes Project and Koralle. Not forgetting Slim's beat tape for KO-OP.

In 2023, Turt released the album ‘The Questions’ as one third of the project Syrup (the other two are Twit One & C.Tappin) while Slim released an album project (‘Cerulean’) with Benaddict and Ella Mae Suref. Turt also dropped two singles with the Silhouettes Project alongside Nix Northwest and Frankie Stew & Harvey Gunn.

Summer of 2023: Koralle wants to escape the heat of Bologna for a few weeks. He is heading South and rents a small hut by the sea near Ravenna. One night he meets Francesco Giampaoli, a seasoned jazz & world musician at a bar on Bassona beach. The two had worked on music before and Koralle visits Francesco the next day at his studio which is stuffed with analogue gear and instruments. He stops by every single day for the next weeks and the duo creates some incredible strange music. For their new single “Vai Pure Quando Vuoi Pt. 2”, they have invited German producer legend Twit One to collab.

“Bassona” (LP/Digital) drops 22nd November.

A Little Help (Free DL in info)

Afterhours Sessions 07: 813 « ritmo sportivo

http://ritmosportivo.com/news/afterhours07/

 You can download few new free tunes by 813
 but first read the concept :

 Afterhours Sessions - it's a new special series of releases curated by Ritmo Sportivo. Simple rules: one night, one producer, one session. Phylosophy of this project is catching the moment of maximal inspiration and realize it through the music. Just drafts, just live and unmastered sessions but sometimes they illustrate you as a musician much more sincere than something over what you workin' a countless number of days. This project will bring together electronic and hip-hop producers from all around the world who are not afraid to enter in full contact with the listener and show the process of transforming inspiration into a digital form.

Owe Me Back

Free remix EP of Djemba Djemba's debut Jeffree release "I Just Go" featuring remixes from Falcons, Obey City, FootwoRk, Yung Satan, and Philip Rabalais!

Djemba Djemba is music born from a state of permanent contradiction, held together by one underlying and adaptive principle: rhythm. Experimenting with polyrhythms, 90’s FM synths, and the all-important 808 Kick, Djemba Djemba crafts a sound that is both intelligent as it is brain numbing.

It’s easy to detect the influence of UK Bass music currently dominating clubs, yet at the same time feel altogether new, and in stride with the response taking place in New York, Chicago, Boston, and his home in Los Angeles.

With releases on Mad Decent, his own imprint Rabbit Records, and Beat Team Supreme, Djemba’s music has been supported by the likes of Diplo, The Gaslamp Killer, Rusko, Baauer, Obey City, Major Lazer, Paul Devro, and BBC Radio 1. With exciting collaborations in the works with some of the biggest names in EDM, and his finger on the pulse of the latest dance music via his co-club night The Melt, Djemba Djemba certainly has a few surprises on the horizon.

Djemba Djemba- I Just Go (Falcons Remix)
