From deep musical origins in Detroit, rapper/singer/songwriter Illa J has been slowly navigating his way through the oft-turbulent waters of Hip-Hop since the tender age of 13, when the young John Yancey aka Illa J wrote his first rhyme alongside his brother, the late great J Dilla. After his brother’s passing in ‘06, he began teaching himself piano, bass and taking vocal lessons while finding himself touring the world and recording a slew of Dilla-related projects, notably being an active member of Slum Village until 2014. His first solo album, '08s Yancey Boys and the Frank Nitt 2013 collaborative album Sunset BLVD were both released on seminal label Delicious Vinyl. Feeling the need for a change creatively as well as geographically, in 2012 John moved to the future music hotbed that is Montreal ultimately making the connection with Canadian producers Nick Wisdom & AstroLogical aka Potatohead People (whose acclaimed Bastard Jazz debut album Big Luxury in Spring 2015 featured Illa J on two hit singles). The success of their initial collaborations inspired the team to dive into the studio and embark on Illa J's new self-titled solo album, and present an entirely fresh sound of his own.
 
The album Illa J, produced without any samples by Potatohead People alongside a few groundbreaking co-producers, showcases a more mature and at-ease Illa J who is equally comfortable on top of an electronic boogie-inspired beat (“Universe”) as he is getting grimey over a trunk rattling G-Funk joint (the Kaytranada co-produced “Strippers”). On tracks like the sparse, Rhodes driven “Cannonball” (co-produced by Montreal’s Noo Bap), and the early 90s Spiritual / Acid Jazz inspired “Sunflower”, Illa flexes his muscles through both song and rhyme. And of course being true to his roots, the classic Detroit boom-bap sound is ever present on joints like “French Kiss”, “Perfect Game” (quite possibly Rap’s only ode to bowling), and “Never Left”, a touching tribute to his brother and a call-out to abusers of Dilla's legacy.  Vancouver mainstay MC Moka Only contributes invaluably to the cohesive sound of the album as well, providing signature smoothed-out vocal choruses to tracks like “She Burned My Art”, “All Good Pt. 2” and “Who Got It” (co-produced by Mosaic). Dropping Fall 2015 on Bastard Jazz Recordings, Illa J is a brilliantly-produced, diverse, and long overdue solo effort from Yancey.

Lyrics:

(Hook)

You keep runnin round town
Like there’s nothing else to lose
So tell me what you found
Time don’t wait for you

We havent talked in a while
Shit I know it,
I been too damn wild,
I hate to show it,
At a lost for words, ironic cause im a poet
And These kids think im a hero
But nothing about me heroic

It all fucked up when I went and lost my Lois
Funny when lifes a bitch you take notice
1 year in 4 songs done, fuck Im bout to blow this
Telling Just the album coming but fuck that was my moment

Reminding myself like whyd the fuck you move out here?
Didntt you have some big point to prove out here?
Let me refresh you prove someone just like you
Someone walking in your shoes
Was never born to lose nah…

This rap shit been your heart since you were 9 boy
So stop being pussy shit get on your grind boy
I promise one day youll be a great
But keep up with these mistakes 
A bitter man is in your grave 

Its hard to watch your peers rap up on the TV Screen
You stuck at home refreshing gmail for some fucking beats
Waiting on a check to come so you can get some food to eat
Reading all your mentions and your fans thinking shit so sweet

Its even harder when you know that you could kill em all
Few wrong turns got em smiling cause they see you fall
I aint mad I aint salty
Im just giving you all me.
I’m giving you…all me…

(Hook)

Quit blaming Ceej and Jay…
Cause goddamn man This shits a fucking game
Someone told me a King don’t place blame…

But theres blood on all our hands
I’m just pointing out the stains.

And CJ, bro you know that I love you dog
Want you to know this world is yours
But only If you want it all… 

another life forreal we were suppose to ball
seems like yesterday when we got the call

I’m sorry if you’re mad that I wrote this
its been bottled inside, I needed a prognosis
Havent talked to God, but writing this was the closest
And I heard the toughest battles go to his strongest soldiers so…

It wasnt all there faults
Forreal, I hit a deep depression
City tried to killed me, instead it taught me a lesson
If you want something you go get it your fucking self
And trust me you’re your own Devil of your own fucking hell and

Im Sorry, I wanted to make something timeless
Im Sorry I dont put bullshit on your timeline
Im hoping that they care enough just to rewind this
So they can at least further understand my mind
And if I die tomorrow at least that I was honest
Ever since I woke up underneath the skyline
Dont cry baby just please pay homage
Listen to your heart & motherfuck the guidelines…

There For You

FloFilz has teamed-up with London singer Biig Piig for his new single „Inside Out“. „Inside Out“ is the second taster from FloFilz forthcoming album „Transit“ that will be released on June 14th.

Stream, download & vinyl: https://melting-pot-music.lnk.to/transit

From Paris to Lisbon to London. FloFilz' third album for Melting Pot Music is deeply inspired by the UK jazz and hip-hop scene. “Transit” features collaborations with Alfa Mist, Barney Artist, Biig Piig and K, Le Maestro.

“Transit” will be available digital and on LP (limited gatefold edition includes a 20-page photo booklet by Robert Winter).

Linernotes

“Jazz (We've Got)” was the title of the second single from A Tribe Called Quest's iconic album “The Low End Theory”. It was released in 1991, the same year FloFilz was born. Similar to Tribe FloFilz resurrects jazz for a new generation. He has been doing this for a while now and is pretty good at it, as you might know if you are familiar with his previous works “Metronom” and “Cenário”.

In 2019 things have changed. Today jazz is not only about diggin' old records and learning about Bird and Trane. Jazz is very much alive and the city of London has become one of its epicenters. The UK jazz scene is happening because it is deeply connected with hip-hop, soul and club music. A perfect setting for FloFilz. Over the last 18 months, he has collected serious Eurostar miles, heading from Aachen to London - going to gigs, hanging out with musical allies and recording new material.

This is why he calls his new album “Transit”. Through 18 tracks FloFilz translates the current London vibe in his very own style and fashion and I dare to say that “Transit” may be the best album he has treated us with so far.

Douniah and High John are a neo soul duo from Hamburg and Berlin. “Like That” is the second single from their forthcoming debut album “Dream Baby” which will be released Nov 1st on Melting Pot Music.

John's warm, lo-fi beats and Douniah’s rich, soul-soaked voice interact in a very natural way, combining almost organically 90’s urban music with the timbre und themes of the here and now. Their first single “Dream Baby” became a minor late summer hit and the two made it on the cover of Spotify's "Butter" playlist.

Musically “Like That” shines with mellow 90ties throwback vibe, while  Douniah is dealing a very personal atopic in her lyrics: “Last summer I spent a lot of time capturing my friends.” she explains . “Their thoughts and their beauty in pictures and videos. We had the time and comfort to share a lot. The darkest and lightest. We took time to talk about our everyday life as women of color in this society. “Like That‘ is about what we told each other...there are pictures everywhere promoting our looks but not really speaking to us. We still compare ourselves with western and white beauty standards - Even though we have more representation now, there is still judgement when you dress a certain way or have your hair a certain way - there is still so much competition and comparison between women. I realized for myself that comparison is all right. However, it depends on your own perspective. I’m not gonna compare myself with someone that I will never be or look like. My health, especially my mental health, is what I should care about more – and not if my shirt is to short or if my hair looks nappy and Marie's doesn’t. It’s like that and I keep it like that.”

“Douniah’s lyrics brought back vivid memories of my first years in Germany after I had moved with my family from Hungary at the age of 7.” sasy High John. “Until I was roundabout 15 years old, I had a strong Hungarian accent and because of that I had to struggle with exclusion and discrimination. Sadly, a lot of the times it were actually my teachers, who gave me the feeling that I was somehow inferior. My otherness was the reason, why I was drawn to hip-hop culture early on, because hip-hop really gave me a purpose as a teenager. It was a protection that I utterly needed back then. My baggy pants were kind of my save space. Girls are reduced to their look way too often and I imagine it as very tough to be confronted with the expectation to be “beautiful”. It would be lovely, if our song gave some girls the same safe space that I found when I first discovered hip hop.”

High John released a split album with Plusma earlier this year titled “High+”. He is part of the Raw Suppliers collective and has 240k monthly listeners on Spotify.

Douniah released two dope collaborations this year: “Don't You Worry” with Fuchy (aka Farhot) and “Naked Trees” with Cap Kendricks.

Introducing Pachakuti and young.vishnu! “Semilla” is the first teaser from an exciting new project by multi-instrumentalist Pachakuti and producer young.vishnu.

Although only 2:22 minutes short “Semilla” catches the listeners mind and soul completley and utterly. Over a laid-back rimshot groove chopped by young.vishnu, Pachakuti is having a conversation on rhodes & saxophone. 

“Semilla” can be labeled as jazz funk and we believe that beat lovers will dig it as well. At the same time, “Semilla” only shows one root of the musical vision of Pachakuti and young.vishnu who are fusing hip-hop, jazz, latin, funk and soul with strong messages about politics, identity, globalization and neocolonialism. 

Stay tuned...

The same entitled album “Semilla” by Pachakuti & young.vishnu is going to be released on 4th September and will be available as digital album and limited LP (300 copies). Pre-order started and the LP will be available as of 14th August.

'Sidenote: Piano Baps' ..in similar fashion to our earlier tribute projects, the Jousters were challenged to compose or flip some Jazz Piano and conjure up a piano driven Hip Hop Jazz instrumental in their own style.

This resulted in eighteen Piano Baps to stream, download or play on cassette tape.

Funkonami - Deep Into Space (Album Snippets) Mixed by Evil Ed

Stream, download & LP: https://melting-pot-music.lnk.to/rosylee

Technically, Syrup are a hip-hop group with unmistakable leanings towards soul and jazz. 
The group consists of an MC (Turt), a pianist/singer (C.Tappin) and a beatmaker (Twit One). Their music is rooted in the tradition of collectives like Native Tongues and Soulquarians, and they have come up with a pretty appropriate term to describe their sound, which is “cool bap”.

But if we put formalities aside and look at the bigger picture, Syrup are also a perfect example of how music can connect people beyond national borders, language and tradition. And furthermore, how Afro-American culture has influenced not only the musical taste but the views and opinion-making of generations of young people worldwide. The sheer existence of Syrup is also a big fat “Fuck Brexit!” which makes the group even more likeable.

“Rosy Lee” is available on LP as standard edition and limited colored vinyl edition (300 copies).
