German producer fLako just dropped his beattape called “First Spaceshit On The Moon”. I personally love that joint with Cali native Miki Vale eventhough it’s not on the beattape. Miki has already collaborated with OhNo, Dudley Perkins aka Declaime, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Kankick and more so keep this lady in your sight. There are 30 mostly unheard ‘bumtschaks’ on this freebie and I must say….some hot shit on there so click HERE!

A new rapgroup has been born and goes by the name of Diamond District. Here’s an introduction and some audible goodies from their upcoming album In The Ruff that drops 4/14/09.

“The District of Columbia is home to our nations politics and some of the wealthiest African Americans in the country. It is also home to one of the nations largest income gaps with some of the highest crime, murder and STD rates. It is the culmination of these statics that defines DC Hip Hop. Oddisee (producer/MC from Prince George’s county, Maryland) formed this group with solo artist, XO and YU. The idea was to create a mid-90’s boom-bap themed record for the DC, Maryland & Virginia metropolitan area. XO, (born & raised in North West DC) defines what it is to be a black male raised in the district, with lyrics that have a way of philosophizing that street life. Oddisee defines the experience of growing up in black middle class Maryland. Bordering the poverty his and many other families fled to escape, they found the troubles of the inner city came along with them. YU, having been raised in the district, Maryland & Virginia, shows that DC culture exceeds it’s 10 mile radius. “In The Ruff” is the DMV’s soundtrack. It’s street savvy, politically conscious lyrics and grimy beats depict life in and around our nations capitol.”

I was listening to Benji B’s Deviation show the other night and heard this lovely track soothing my ears. I must admit I’m a sucker for flutes so no suprise I fell in love with “Satin White” by Morgan Zarate. Check out Steve Parks’ “Movin In The Right Direction” for more ill flutes.

Now you might have heard his immensly dope song M.A.B – with (heavenly) Sarah Ann Webb on the vocals – that was on the Producer No. 1 album (Fat City Records). Another big tune you might have heard is “Sticks and Stones” featuring Eska and Ghostface Killah. I really hope we’ll hear a lot more of Morgan in the future, simply because this London producer is one of my favorites. In case you haven’t got M.A.B yet…buy it HERE! Oh and thanks to Fatsarazzi for the photo..

A few days ago I was watching Donwill’s “Laura’s Song” video and I was simply amazed at how Donwill and Marques Green managed to make a ’09 version of High Fidelity. Donwill’s upcoming album ‘Don Cusack in High Fidelity‘ is a remake of the movie ‘High Fidelity‘ (starring John Cusack). Donwill will release this project later this year, because he needs to focus on Tanya Morgan’s highly anticipated Brooklynati album. I added a download of their first single “So Damn Down”.
