Back To Shed Some Light

Okay, so this time around, I'm going to shed some light on of my favorite producers: Roddy Rod.

I don't know much about him other than he's a member of and producer for the group Maspyke. He's also a member of the Low Budget Crew along with Oddisee, Kev Brown and Kenn Starr.

Here are two discographies of his work, one from Discogs and one from Prodby.

If you guys haven't heard of Prodby, please be sure to utilize it from here on out. Great place for finding out who produced what. You can even submit changes, corrections or new submissions. I hope they don't pull a CDDB and then go private using all of the submissions we ardent music listeners have provided.

Anyway, here's the Roddy Rod album I will be providing you guys with, Oakwood Grain:




Here's a sample to whet the tastebuds:

Great album.

Enjoy.

A Little Something From The Underground

Here's something that most of you guys may not have heard. Buff1 hails from Detroit and the group Athletic Mic League.

He's pretty adept with the lyrics but the true star of this album are the Lab Techs.

They produced about 16 of the 18 tracks on the album and the styles scattered amongst the productions are so varied you would be led to think that the album was the average hip-hop hodge podge release. Wrong!!! Wrong!!!

So, enough already. Listen up!

And enjoy one of the better underground releases that saw the light of day last year. I'll will probably post a couple of the tracks within this post sometime tomorrow for those who don't trust my tastes as of yet. Until then....

Back In The House, Once Again

So, I decided that after more than a year and half, maybe I should give this blog thing a go once again. I'm not really sure of what direction I should go with it though. I don't want to make it just your average "album" blog, because there are so many blogs that are already taking care of that arena immaculately, it makes no sense for me to join the fray. Either way, there are two things I love, good beats and great songwriting. So, the blog may just be a mixture of those two.

Moving on, here is an album that was requested from Basso from over at the wonderful The Growing Bin. Peep the site if you haven't already been.

Other than that, I'll be back soon enough with a decision made on where I want to go with this blog and I'll be moving forward full speed.

Here's the Zero 7 - The Garden release as promised.

Also, for those with too much time on their hands, head on over to my Myspace page and tell me what you think of the tunes. peace.
