Well here it is. Flying Lotus is back with the third installment of the “L.A.” series. We posted the TAKE remix of “Parisian Goldfish” as a Moovmnt exclusive months ago and sadly that is the dopest joint on the whole EP. From the six remaining tracks we had to share this “Infinitum” remix Dimlite did. The digital bonus remix from TAKE is also very nice, so congrats Mr. Klank! As a little bonus Warp wanted you to have this free bonus track “Auntie’s Lock” (with The Life Force Trio). If you like what you hear just go to iTunes and buy!

Dunno why we slept on this ill Kev Brown joint, but we kinda did. Anyways…here is yU‘s – “Marvelous” (O.G. Mix) by Kev Brown. In case you haven’t already bought Kev’s Random Joints album…I suggest you do so and support indie hiphop in it’s purest form. Thanks to FWMJ’s Rappers I Know for the exclusive track.

Our buddy FS Green just hooked us up with a nice mix…even though it’s “Extra Late”. Here’s what Franky had to say:

“Found this mix about a week ago on my computer. I remember making this somewhere in January. I only used the CD’s Full Crate and I used for our Mixing Monthly project. “Extra Late” features songs that we didn’t use on one of our Mixing Monthly mixes yet. Cover art by Punchdouble aka Deluge”. Check out the tracklist after the jump…

Thanks to 14KT and our friends at A-Side Worldwide for this “Now & Laters” release. “Here it is… a project I unofficially had done since 2006. It started when James Yancey a.k.a. J Dilla passed that February. To cope with the death of my favorite producer, who I liked to call my unofficial “musical mentor,” I started making ‘donuts’ …uncontrollably. I never planned to release any of the material out of respect for Dilla & his craft. I’ve shared some of the music with others, in which they would repeatedly ask me to hear it, so I decided to put a little something together and make it official. JUST FOR YA’LL.

This is a collection of beats created about 3 years ago. Some ‘donuts’ style, some just around that era of 14KT beats. “Now & Laters” were always a favorite candy of mine. I used to go to Mindell’s Pharmacy in Ypsilanti back in the day and buy ALL of them. Sadly, I even stole change from my grandma’s (RIP) purse for them. They are addictive, yet fun to eat… something I found mutual when making music at the time. Ironically, I fell back in love with “Nowalataz” around this era (ask my homey Sarah “Merk Merk,” haha). Enjoy.“

One third of LA’s hottest musical force that is the Sa-Ra Creative Partners, Shafiq heads out alone on a stunning soul/jazz/afro/hip hop and funk infused LP, carefully created and crafted from intense studio sessions and on-going conversations, between like-minded friends and family.

SHAFIQ EN’ A-FREE-KA has been entirely composed with an armoury of outboard gear effects, synthesizers, electric guitars, strings, horns, a lot of modulation. “Hip-hop mastered the beat, but they didn’t do nothing with the changes,” says Shafiq. On the album Shafiq recruits Bilal, Sa-Ra member Om’mas Keith, emcee Count Bass D, London’s rising songstress Fatima, Sa-Ra vocalist Rozzi Daime, and a whole army of musicians and engineers. AYK

This cat 14KT is blowing up so hard and when he does we’ll be on the sidelines telling ya’ll ‘I told yo ass’. We’ve been a fan since way back and KT keeps on making noise. His upcoming release probably has more flavors than motherf*ckin Now & Later’s so I see why he chose the name “Nowalataz”. This will drop late Monday (8/17) night (basically Tuesday (8/18). Thanks to MichiganHipHop for these cuts and thanks to 14KT for making these crazy ass beats. “The Golden Hour 2x LP on (limited edition vinyl w/full cover artwork) available next month!

14KT – Hello
