It’s been a milestone year for us and if you’re reading this, we owe you a “thank you.” From landing our Marvin/Mos collab in an Apple iPad commercial, a top selling Billboard charting single, praise from Janis Gaye, and a successful European tour, we know none of it would have been possible without your support. 

As a gesture of our appreciation, we’ve uploaded a newly re-mastered version of Amerigo’s 2011 Fela Kuti/De La Soul re-imagining “Fela Soul” along with the brand new bonus single, Still Ego Trippin’.

TRIPLE DIGITS EP (Chemistry Surfboards x People Under The Stairs)

Faced with an overwhelming tide of political and social events, Thes One and Dj Day have channeled their frustration and disillusionment into a spontaneous art piece combining raw beats from the MPC, lyrical scratch work and a puzzle of forgotten vinyl. As number stations ring alarms and old alliances descend into chaos, the EP is an s.o.s. transmission from the two Náufrago lost within their own country...

Bones & Beeker EP Inside a Different Mind released March 30 on Wax Poetics Records

In November 2015, the Minneapolis duo Bones & Beeker—consisting of singer-songwriter Anthony Newes and producer/multi-instrumentalist BK-One—quietly released a self-titled gem of a debut. Hip-hop producer BK-One (aka Brendan Kelly) had previously spent years on the road as the touring DJ for Rhymesayers MC Brother Ali. So after releasing his own album, BK-One reached out to Ali and other friends to help craft a hip-hop EP out of source material from the Bones & Beeker record.

First onboard was DJ extraordinaire Cut Chemist (Jurassic 5), who is about to drop his own album, Die Cut, and is currently supporting it on a North American tour. On the “World Behind” remix, Cut Chemist channels turntable elders Double Dee & Steinski and offers a funky retake with massive, moving drums.

Minneapolis neighbor and Rhymesayers affiliated rapper P.O.S. steps up to drop a verse on the funky favorite “Each Time I Die.” P.O.S., a Doomtree Collective member, has just dropped his own album, Chill, Dummy, out now on Doomtree.

Minneapolis Afro-futurist collective ZULUZULUU—one of BK-One’s favorite bands—could be considered kindred spirits with Bones & Beeker, as both groups ditch convention and move to the beat of their own drums. ZULUZULUU takes on “Wind-Up Dolls” and starts from scratch, recording their own blissed-out take.

Acclaimed Rhymesayers rapper Brother Ali sprinkles the sauce on the fan-favorite track “Heartbroken in Love”—the original song was recently licensed for the Netflix series Easy.

Coming off his critically acclaimed album, 2017’s Brick Body Kids Still Daydream (Mello Music), Open Mike Eagle blesses the BK-One re-edit of “A Song for Al’s Dead Mother.” A Chicago native and friend of the Doomtree Collective, Open Mike Eagle now resides in Los Angeles as a member of Project Blowed.

Superblack has got the beats. Famed De La Soul producer Prince Paul, rapper/drummer J-Zone, and ego trip cofounder (and man-of-many-talents) Sacha Jenkins joined forces to mess around with music. They remix the B&B single “Lupine,” focusing on the raw drums that ground and move forward the art and culture that is hip-hop.
