Phoenix Releases “Heart” Instrumental EP [Download]
January 28, 2011
Fresh off the release of Home Team Phoenix of The Soundkillers is back with a project sure to shed light on the producer known for his dark, ominous tones. To many listeners “Heart” would appear to be a straight instrumental ep, there’s no singing or rapping, no spoken word, and there’s certainly no vocoder. What sets it apart from every other instrumental project you’ll hear this year is its free form design. It’s anti genre, artistic & expressive, a no boundary collective from the mind of Phoenix. For more information on Phoenix and what else he has in store this year check our recent Hydrosonics interview with him.

Jaylib - Louder (Blast Your Radio Theme)[DOWNLOAD]
January 20, 2011
Here is a track from the Madlib Medicine Show #11: Low Budget High Fi Music. “Louder” was originally from Madlib & J Dilla’s never-realized second album. Their first album Champion Sound was released in 2003. When J Dilla moved to Los Angeles, he, Madlib and J Rocc began doing shows together as Jaylib, performing together for the first time at the Madvillain record release party in April 2004.
Madlib and Dilla collaborated primarily through the exchange of beat tapes, occasionally reworking each others material, or chopping the same beat in a kind of recorded call-and-response…

Jermaine Dupri Says Producers Have To Babysit Rappers [VIDEO]
January 19, 2011
In this installment of “Living The Life” JD and Dondria are in the studio working on her next mixtape, “Dondria Duets” PT 2 scheduled to drop on Valentine’s Day 2011. In between Dondria’s naps Dupri shares some advice to producers who are frustrated with artists who don’t want to come to the studio.
“I believe that it’s the producers job to pick that artist up and keep pushing that artist when they act like they dont’ want to make records. Go pick them up at their house. I’ve done a bunch of babysitting to make records. That’s a producers job. Some of the producers need to go get these rappers and make some records.”
