Funkanizer and S Strong, Greece’s premier beat-makers, have teamed up once again to bring you a follow-up to their debut EP released seven little years ago.

The pair are well known for their choice selection in samples, crisp drums, and top-of-the-range production skills, and Groove Gigolos Vol 2 does not disappoint.

From the soul-laden rhythms of Gigolo Claps to the swing beats of Caution, and the infectious rhythm of Baby Cream to the hypnotic head-nodder that is Umami – there’s something for everyone on this release, each funky enough to turn anyone into a disco dancing Groove Gigolo.

Mixed & mastered @ Sonic Arts Productions Studio (www.sonicarts.gr)

LYRICS
I reminisce, I reminisce

I reminisce for a spell, or shall I say think back
Hella great things that tell the way we act
Born on the 12th of October
Never smoked, never drank, life-long sober
Over-stated as underrated since the beginning
when in second grade it was stated that I was a musician
From piano to the sax and other woodwinds
Lessons with jazz legends where Inglewood ends
From the vinyl to the tracks and bumpin good blends
Breaking and tagging and banging with my 'hood friends
I was about that life for more than a minute
Even though my parents raised me different, I was in it
Irresponsible, plain not thinking
Peers and constables, years of obstacles
Finally hurdled and liquidated like Squirtle
when I verbally murdered derkles, underground never commercial
I make music because music made me
It seems you all forgot the value of it lately
Appreciation is missing, so I'm on a mission
To help you see it glisten when you close your eyes and listen
Positive over negative, gotta let it live
before it dies - that's a lesson in rhetoric
De ja vu, still the crew gets hella blue
when they reminisce over Drew
Good lord

I reminisce, I reminisce

You know how I do. It's been about a month, so it's about that time to hit you with something new. Although, with all the saxophoning, singing, and instrumentation I've been doing lately; I thought it'd be best to let the next public heater be a good old-fashioned boom-bap beats and raps cut for my core fan-base -- the true blue underground hip hop heads.

Enter: "Unfamous Mindframe." You've seen it on events, you've heard it on records, you've even seen the logo on merchandise. On this, my second collaboration with ABQ-based producer Diles, I decided to take some time to explain what exactly "UNFAMOUS" means. For those that haven't gotten it up until now, this is the song that will open your eyes, ears, and mind to the UNFAMOUS movement, and why you should be involved.

In addition to all the goodness in it, what pure rap song is complete without a visit from my favorite DJ, The OG Daze Uno? Press play and turn the speakers up, this one's going to knoc your socs off.

LYRICS
My mindframe is UNFAMOUS
It's not a label, it's a lifestyle, language,
and love for music not that lack-luster lameness
It's not exclusive, any open mind can claim this

It's a movement, new improved knit
fabric woven holding golden intent
Indent the game and bent the frame
Started with The Gallery, and then became
the underground definitive, the indie blueprint
We found the limit, then we simply moved it
It's in me, dude it's the source of greatness
Undeniable, and of course UNFAMOUS

You like, "Don't forget us when you blow up!"
Then you forget my shows and never show up
So you know what?
I'll never forget the effort made to support my endeavors
It's just like karma: You get what you give
You're writing the future within the script that you live
Inviting my troopers and friends to kick it and hang, 'cause
they still showed love when I was just UNFAMOUS

We don't do hype, we don't do trends
We don't feel like the means should bend for ends
And we kept the friends that actually know us
instead of dissing them for Yes-Men that practically blow us
Some of yawl are trying to re-write history
how you went from what you were to how you are is a mystery
Abandoned values you was taught when you came up
You lame, cuz - you'd never make it UNFAMOUS

'Nuff respect to all the artists in here
None object that this the hardest career
But unlike most, it wasn't a choice
It's the only thing you know, and so you trust in your voice
But you speak from the soul, you speak from the heart
Hard to reach are your goals when you're speaking through art
Most don't understand it all the same
just maintain and be you, stay UNFAMOUS

My mindframe is UNFAMOUS
It's not a label, it's a lifestyle, language,
and love for music not that lack-luster lameness
It's not exclusive, any open mind can claim this
UNFAMOUS

K.R.I.T. 4eva (Chapter One)

Instrumental version of my new tune I did for Sun Candy Jewelry in Los Angeles, Ca. I am just waiting on some samples to clear to release the full version. Stay tuned for the full version and the Sun Candy website which will feature this song!

Ashley's Private Sun (Sun Candy Dubstrumental)

When Featurecast & The Gaff got a chance to play together recently, it didn't take long to get to talking about their mutual love for Stevie Wonder's "Hey Love" and how the world needed an edit of it, and just like that, a few sleepless nights, some dusty records and a little bit of finesse: "Ain't Got Time" was born! The ultimate Marvin Gaye meets Stevie Wonder track that never existed......So why did a collabo between these two legends never happen? They both recorded for Motown at the same time and were fans of each other!....Here's a little history lesson: 
 "Too busy thinkin bout my baby" was written by the Motown team of Whitfield, Strong, and Bradford in 1965, and first recorded by The Temptations a year later.
Marvin's cover of the tune came out a few years later, and was his 2nd biggest hit of the 60's, right after "Heard It Through The Grapevine" in 1969 at the age of 30...Curious who was in Marvin's heart as he was singin this? If You do the math, it's none other than Tammi Terrel, who he fell deeply in love with as they began working on their tracks ("ain't no mountain high enough) around the same time....Unfortunately, Tammi wasn't into Marvin in that way! She was much younger, early 20's, and apparently favored "darker men", Marvin was a light skinned brother, and perhaps wasn't what caught her eye? Well, that's the breaks, Tammi put on a good show for sure...
Now, Marvin Gaye was 11 years older than Stevie Wonder, who, at the time, was about to breakthrough to his hugely successful crossover lp's at only 19 with "Signed Sealed Delivered"! 
Stevie Wonder's "Hey Love" had come out on his album "Down TO Earth" in '66, at only 16, and a dope version was covered later by SoulSister Bettye Lavette, You should check it! Not many know about that cover :-)
So, there was a big age gap, with marvin bringout out songs of soulful love in his 30's, and Stevie bringin the Funk in his 20's!!!
in 1991, almost 25 years after it was released, De La Soul would flip "Hey Love" into "Talkin bout Hey Love" where it was brought back all over again for a new generation of Hip Hop heads around the world (a young skateboarding gaffer and a LIl Featurecast being 2 of them :-) 
25 years after that, we added in the horns from an early Serge Gainsbourg record so this tune would appeal to fans of De La Soul, be enjoyed by Motown lovers, and any fans of DJ's with dope cuts.....Sampled the OG records to provide the instrumental parts used...
We kept this mix so classic, for old and young alike, even your grandma can still appreciate it, nod her head to the fatback drums, dope cuts and scratches....we hope this version makes its rounds for a long time to come, giving you the Marvin & Stevie collaberation that you always wished for.......cheers! 
Gaff and Featurecast, June 9th 2015....

Lauryn Hill - Lost Ones (Dj Inko Remix)

The year is irrelevant...

Musical pioneers Aim & Mikey D.O.N. join forces as MAIDM and ATIC Records is proud to present the first fruits of this miraculous merger. Served on tasty 10” grape juice vinyl, MAIDM's opening statement boasts two hard hitting hip-hop home-runs, Tun Up Di Heat (Party Banger) and B-Boy Shit.

Tun Up Di Heat (Party Banger) is an earth-quaking, bass-speaker-shaking introduction to how nice they are. A beatific blend of head down hip hop and funky, floor-filling accessibility, Tun Up… embodies MAIDM and it's precision manifesto.

Flip to the flip side for second track B-Boy Shit, a track that eschews concession to commerce and takes no prisoners through minimalistic murk and hyper-aggressive vocals. Long forgotten legends are name-checked, old scores are settled, the dirty break-beat rolls on and hip-hop gains a fresh new anthem.

MAIDM - Imagine the possibilities...

The Nextmen vs Joe Dukie - Hold Me Now

U No Likey Like That ft. Roots Manuva, Kid Creole & The Coconuts

Track 2 on the "Green Chile In The Air: Volume 2" compilation.

Written and performed by Anacron for Manoemusicc / PNTGLLRYNTWRK
Produced by Diles for Visceral View
Horn arrangements and performance by Anacron

LYRICS:

She was a fine Spanish princess
Met her somewhere in between Venecia and Venice
She'd been blessed; a slimmie with a beautiful face,
shapely waist, brains, and good taste
My game was 'hood-laced, she liked that angle
Then in the blink of an eye, our lives entangled
Hours nicely wrangled, missed not an instance
incidents of distance rinsed in inconsistence
But I wanted my carino close
So she headed for the states to meet me on the West Coast
Now that's true love, the type of dedication
that was more than enough to cross the borders of a nation

Give me your tired, poor, and huddled masses
Yearning to breathe free? Never breathing air with us
Liberty barb-wired door and none passes
It ain't easy, coming to America

On the day of her arrival, 
I was liable to spread the word like the Bible
Preach! My Latin-European peach
was a flight away and brighter days were just beyond reach
At the main baggage claim, I could barely breathe,
in the throes with a rose and my heart on my sleeve
LAX man, hours in the airport
Then a text came I wasn't prepared for
"Que problema?" Customs got her wrapped up
TSA is wack, cuz; fool, don't make me act up
When she came down, I was glad that she made it
after being profiled, strip-searched, and degraded
Tried to file a complaint; "Oh, is that right"
Patriotic Act need some patriotic act-right
Ya'll mall security, eff the badge you're wearing, bruh
Giving visitors the worst welcome to America

Give me your tired, poor, and huddled masses
Yearning to breathe free? Never breathing air with us
Liberty barb-wired door and none passes
It ain't easy, coming to America

Land of the free, home of the brave
I guess you're only welcome if you come in as a slave
From the jump, she was treated like a criminal
Some of it was outright, other times subliminal
Even though she looks White; accent, annunciation
got her facing all types of discrimination
This silly cracker though my Spanish girl was Mexican
Talking about he wished our country never let them in
Damn, fool! Gotta get it clear, nerd
Spanish found America, and Mexicans was here first...
stupid! And the Government's no better, jerks 
charge hella for a Visa, but they won't let her work
I know exactly what it's like; my skin's brown
"The Man" has a plan designed to keep us down
and if you doubt the "Self-Evident Truths"-hype is fake,
try to smuggle LOVE into the United States

Give me your tired, poor, and huddled masses
Yearning to breathe free? Never breathing air with us
Liberty barb-wired door and none passes
It ain't easy, coming to America

So basically, what I'm saying is
If you're interested in new and exciting opportunities,
or making a better life for yourself and for your family,
or maybe even just finding true love;
Americas the place do it.
Come on over!

...SIKE!!!
