2001 s One Three was followed in 2002 by Instrmntl, and the two albums established Tadd Mullinix aka Dabrye as a formidable beatsmith. Mullinix s Detroit-filtered hip-hop-meets-electronica style quickly placed him alongside bing names like Prefuse 73, and fellow producers like the late J Dilla would become fans of his work. For Two Three, Dabrye…
Danger Mouse chops up The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion s Bellbottoms (off of 1994 s Orange), and the seasoned producer enlists Run The Jewels and Big Boi to talk that talk over the gritty beat. The resulting Chase Me, which revs up the energy of the already high-octane film, is great because Bellbottoms is literally…

Denzel Curry has been releasing music since 2011. His age (born in 1995) and South Florida (Dade County) upbringing places him squarely w the Soundcloud generation of rappers, and the ex-Raider Klan member certainly runs in some of the same circles as many of the genre s brightest stars. But, Zel is different. You won…
We be reading Marx where I m from, the kids be rockin Clarks where I m from. This legit repress of Digable Planets debut has been a long time coming. Reachin (A New Refutation of Time and Space) s forward-thinking juxtaposition of classic jazz aesthetics and Brooklyn street culture stunned us when it was first released in 1993,…
1990 seems so far away. This was an important record back then and anything that had sex in the title was so edgy. Add black dudes wearing pimp gear and fake noses and it was suburban infiltration by Suzuki Samurai. 13 year olds grinded (the vertical dry hump) to Humpty Dance at school dances. Older kids…

14 years after Florida, Diplo drops another solo record, California, and the two albums share a similar tone: slow, vibey & melancholic. An obvious departure from his festival club-crushing repertoire, the summer-friendly tracks are filled w slowed-down rhythms and hazy, melodic rap, and it feels like an introspective reaction to the fame & excess of…
Putting the global spotlight on regional sounds artists is what Diplo does, and for Europa, the superstar producer DJ looks to the underground of the continent that was early in embracing his tastemakin ways, Europe.

In contrast to what many of his hard-edged west coast peers were cooking up around the same time, Quik Is The Name is fun, positive and carefree while retaining DJ Quik’s gangster credentials fully intact (and, we should point out, rapping about Givenchy 20 years before Watch The Throne). He originally intended for the album…
Screwston! It’s said that a SINGLE TAPE from DJ Screw routinely reached upwards of 100,000 heads. The influence of the Houston legend has gone far beyond Texas as Southern rap became a worldwide thing, and the chopped-and-screwed sound, along with many rappers (Screwed Up Click!) that the 300-plus mixtapes helped put on, is a lasting…
