Nothing But... (SCIENZE x JohnNY U. x Elle Pierre

Jazz rap: a subgenre of Hip-Hop discussed ad nauseam by diehard fans. Whether you've been caught in a daze while bumping Tribe's Low End Theory, or you know Blue Notes Records' discography front to back, the music has birthed passionate listeners for a reason. While some heads might discount the music as being a relic of the past, the sounds of the underground still emit those feel good jazz vibes, even in today's Internet Era. Proving that there's still an audience for that laid back groove is the Mt. Kisco, New York based rapper/producer, Roga Raph. Raph is a part of the new wave of emcees looking to expand upon those jazzy Hip-Hop cuts that many of us grew up with, in hopes that he could give both contemporary heads and new listeners, simply great music. This effort all begins with the release of his eleven track, au gratis debut, 'Visionary Shift.'

Packed with dusty piano riffs and buttery soul samples, the free release gives off that old school feeling without coming across as either formulaic, or dated. As a graduate of Manhattan's School of Visual Arts, as an Illustration major, Raph is also the graphic designer behind the project's artwork. 'VIsionary Shift' is Raph telling his story, but also having fun, by not taking this tale too seriously. The album's strengths is its sonic diversity. Whether it's the chilled out, "Signz," the debut, "Fck Whut They Say," or the uptempo "In The Now" with its prominent Eckhart Tolle samples, Raph proves that he can ride with the best of them. 'Visionary Shift' is now available for free download, so be sure to check for rap's new best kept secret.

TINNITUS: 10.10

los angeles native, dyed in the wool hooligan zeroh gets loud, technical and strange all over again on his new ten track album TINNITUS [HNR65]. organized noise was haphazardly strung together and embellished amongst 15+ hours of music in a dark smokey garage on little to no sleep. the severity of this raw bludgeoning echoes pain in the heads and ears of your typical everyman in an attempt to bring them to higher state of consciousness. zeroh emanates a low glowing light close to the chest... the one saving grace for this genius god awful cacophony.

*Pre-order the album on Bandcamp now and receive immediate downloads of three tracks.

10 years after Blu and Exile released their magnum opus Below the Heavens, the California duo have reunited to release 14 tracks from the original 2007 sessions. In the Beginning: Before the Heavens contains previously heard songs and unreleased gems – the best of the best chosen from over 40 songs in the vault. Their third collaboration follows 2012’s Give Me My Flowers While I Can Still Smell Them, and is slated for an October release.

In The Beginning: Before the Heavens is made of up songs that are raw and untouched, keeping the authenticity of Blu and Exile’s creativity at the time. The album has guest appearances from familiar names like Dr. Oop, Donel Smokes, Aloe Blacc, and Blame One. While “Soul Provider,” “Another Day,” and “Party of Two” appeared on Blu’s Lifted EP, the majority of these songs showcase Blu rapping at his peak, maintaining his underground attitude as he dishes on reaching star status (“Constellations”), getting radio play (“On the Radio”), or opposing views in a problem-ridden world (“You’re Gonna Die Someday”). Exile, meanwhile, builds a golden hip-hop era feel with head-nodding samples and DJ scratches.
