ITSRAP Round-Up Vol.7 02/2014

'Various Assets - Not For Sale 2013' is a collection of some of the music that was made during the Red Bull Music Academy during four early summer weeks in New York City last year. The double CD contains 30 tracks composed, improvised and discovered by the 62 international participants and a cast of high-profile studio team members, who all got their fingers dirty on synths, Mellotrons, vibraphones, drum machines and anything else they could lay their hands on. Enjoy!

Known as Los Angeles' "Ambassador of Boogie Funk," Damon Riddick represents the citizens of the Funkmosphere to the fullest. Anyone who grooves to the likes of Slave, Aurra, early Prince and Prelude Records, will knoe what to do when they hear "No More Love."

Written by Damon Riddick (US). Produced by Dâm-Funk.

'Various Assets - Not For Sale 2013' is available for free download from January 15th, 2014 via <a href="http://rbma.bandcamp.com">RBMA Bandcamp</a> and <a href="http://soundcloud.com/redbullmusicacademy">Soundcloud</a>.

Dâm-Funk - No More Love

Me and my producer JoeLogic put this together in celebration of the 15 year anniversary of The Roots "Things Fall Apart" album. Logic flipped a couple sections of beats solely from the TFA album and I provided the rhymes. Being an MC from Philly I am inspired by The Roots' story and the heights they have reached in their careers. Philly is proud. It's an honor to be able to celebrate their legacy. #nicethings

Senile feat. Tyga Nicki Minaj & Lil Wayne

This song has been very close to me for years.  I loved it too much to ever release it officially---all these mp3s online are poor quality rips off youtube or myspace.  Here is the fully mixed and mastered version (thanks Daddy Kev) for you to play whenever you need to hear it.

Homeboy Sandman - White Sands OUT NOW

Ten years after its initial & highly slept-on release, Fat Beats Records & Frozen Files are proud to present the first-ever reissue of UN Or U Out, the classic debut album from The UN. 
	Consisting of Roc Marciano, Dino Brave, Mike Raw, and  Laku, the UN first emerged on Pete Rock’s 2001 Petestrumentals album, a primarily all instrumental release minus two tracks—“Nothing Lesser” and “Cake”, both featuring vocals by The UN. At the time, the group hadn’t performed live and had no major release out, although Roc Marciano had already made his name as a member of Busta Rhymes’ Flipmode Squad. Pete Rock fans were at first perplexed by the vocal appearance of an unknown group. Yet Pete not only had the confidence and foresight to introduce the four MCs, he also furthered the collaboration, making it full circle by lending production on “Game of Death (G.O.D.)” , “Avenue” and “Ain’t No Thang” on UN or U Out.
	UN or U Out remains a timeless listen, a deeply succinct homage to New York’s bygone era of gritty boom-bap, made with tasteful nods to Queensbridge’s cold-steel aesthetic.
