Beats

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.

About Kev Brown & Hassaan Mackey and "That Grit":

Following the critically acclaimed "Pillars" EP with MindsOne, Kev Brown teams up again with Ill Adrenaline Records, this time collaborating with fellow Low Budget Crew member Hassaan Mackey to bless listeners with "That Grit".

Both the Washington D.C. based producer-on-the-mic and the Rochester, NY emcee are longtime members of the prolific artist collective and have previously worked together various times, but this mini-album marks the first time the two embark on a full project. Most boom-bap enthusiasts should already be well acquainted with both Kev Brown and Hassaan Mackey: double threat Kev Brown already showcased his skills on microphones as well as production boards on countless releases and has been dubbed "king of basslines" by fans worldwide. In addition to his solo recordings Kev's credits include beats for heavyweights like Busta Rhymes, Biz Markie, De La Soul, Jazzy Jeff, and Marley Marl just to name a few, as well as handling entire album production for LMNO, Kaimbr, and Raw Poetic. Hassaan Mackey released a string of albums, including a full-length LP with Apollo Brown, and appearances on releases by Oddissee, Kaimbr, The Left and L'Orange.

Recorded during a series of impromptu bus and train trips Hassaan took from Rochester to visit Kev in Washington, "That Grit" was created with a spontaneous approach, reflecting both Mackey's freestyle background and Brown's proven "random joints" formula. Entirely produced by Kev Brown and featuring his signature bassline-driven and raw but soulful sound, "That Grit" consists of an intro, eight full-length tracks and six instrumentals. Hassaan and Kev share mic duties on most of the songs, inviting close friends/frequent collaborators Kaimbr, Toine, yU, Kenn Starr, Eye-Q, Asheru (of Unspoken Heard) as well as the Younger Soul Brother Grap Luva along as feature guests, turning the record into a true family affair.

:: About Soulbrotha and 'The Golden Era Isn't Finished' ::

12 Finger Dan & B-Base aka Soulbrotha have carved a niche for themselves as a dope production and turntablist duo from Hamburg, Germany. As close protégés of producer icon DJ Premier, the veteran beatsmiths drop the boom bap filled EP "The Golden Era Isn't Finished", exclusively using the classic SP1200 beat machine. The EP comes special delivery courtesy of Ill Adrenaline Records along with first class guest appearances from Beneficence, Kazi, QNC, Craig G, Afu-Ra, Big Shug, Blaq Poet, and an intro from legendary producer and Juice Crew founder Marley Marl. All of the featured lyricists spit fire throughout the project: "Follow course of this rap dramatic theatrics. The vinyl sittin' pretty like that scandal actress" (Beneficence on "Flow 'N Facts"). The EP's 4 tracks and instrumentals are plenty to satisfy the hunger of true hip-hop heads worldwide as the EP's theme boldly states the golden era definitely isn't finished.

Soulbrotha feat. Beneficence & Kazi "Flow 'N Facts"

After dropping subterranean classics with Sidewalk Science and Concrete Soul, Brick City veteran Beneficence is back with a new album, Basement Chemistry; which will be released on 1-29-2016 via Ill Adrenaline Records. 

Armed with the true sounds of the golden era, Benef drops rejuvenated flows and shares mics with hip-hop's elite lyricists on Basement Chemistry, including Inspectah Deck, Masta Ace, MC Eiht, El Da Sensei, AG, Dres and Chubb Rock among others.  Once again the Artifacts affiliate traps the listener into slick, thought provoking rhymes backed by hard hitting yet soulful production from DJ Spinna, Da Beatminerz, Confidence and L'Orange.

The album's formula stays true to the game, official boom-bap, with obscure samples and intricate cuts; which the albums first leak.

After releasing the first leak, “Digital Warfare,” featuring Inspectah Deck last week, Beneficence returns with the second single from the project “When The Sun Comes” featuring the legendary Masta Ace.

None stop mix of a selection of my favorite independent hip-hop cuts from- and around year 2000. This was the tail end of the golden era when indie hip-hop vinyl still sold decent volumes. 
The West Coast was just a strong as the East Coast in terms of output of underground hits.  
Releases from labels like ABB Records where more or less a default buy. 
DJ Revolution’s “In 12’s We Trust” LP is fantastic all way through and so is Cali Agent’s first LP, Laid In Full Chapter 2, Mykill Miers, Encore, Scum and so on…
