@Madlib – One Hundred Beats
The good people over at Rappcats posted a story about the multitude of beats that the legendary Madlib has made. People are already calling for a legit release in the comments section. I would be cool with that too, even though I have much higher than 100 Madlib tracks in my iTunes (through a quick search). Anyways, I’ve included the original post below, as well as a few of my favorite Madlib joints below that.
Madlib makes beats. Hundreds of beats. Behind the scenes, these beats have been passed around to his collaborators on countless CD-R’s over the years. For a few years in the past decade Madlib was using a number system as titles. “One Hundred Beats” was an accurately-named set of raw, unfinished beats on a double-CD set, quickly followed by “Another Hundred Beats” on two more CDs. Other “hundreds” came in the months and years that followed, until other series titles took their place. These works in progress were backed up on hard drives, and just a few covers were made for posterity. These two photos come from the archives of J Rocc and Jeff Jank.
For those who have asked where to get these, the answer is that you probably already have them. One Hundred Beats and Another Hundred Beats provided much of the basis for the albums like Madvillainy by Madvillain, Champion Sound by Jaylib, A Lil’ Light by Dudley Perkins, and several other releases of the era.
Nelly x 2 Chainz “100K”
Nelly drops off another single from his upcoming album M.O. which hits stores on September 30th. Nelly’s 100k single shows a change in his flow (or perhaps I’m just noticing it for the first time) and also features a verse from 2 Chainz. You can preorder the album now on iTunes right here.
Logic ft. King Chip – Two Kings (prod. by C-Sick)
Logic links up with King Chip while both rappers are on the Cudi Life tour. Chicago producer C-Sick produced this banger.
Ja Rule – Fresh Out Da Pen
This is pretty self-explanatory…..the question is, will Ja be able to recreate his success (especially since 50 Cent is no longer “in power” as he used to be, either)?
The Kid Daytona – Lavender Life
Daytona talks purple stuff in his latest. Pretty cool concept.

“Will Calls (Marfa Demo)” – Grizzly Bear
“Will Calls (Marfa Demo)” – Grizzly Bear
Very impressed with this new Grizzly Bear single. A surprisingly bluesy ending too… “Will Calls” is supposed to be a bonus track on the reissue of their 2012 critically acclaimed album, [Shields]. …Which I must admit myself, is a very good album. …I gave in and got the vinyl for myself when I ordered a few for the store. …The song “Gun-Shy” is too dope! smh
Anyways, posted the new song “Will Calls”, as well as a few of my favorite song’s from the [Shields] album. Enjoy…

Watch the best cover of Chance The Rapper’s “Cocoa Butter Kisses” ever…
Watch the best cover of Chance The Rapper’s “Cocoa Butter Kisses” ever…
Yo this is probably the first time I’ve actually highlighted a YouTube cover, but this one is necessary. 15yr old singer Jessica Hoyle wore that track out….
Yo, no lie… I was grinnin’ the whole time. haha. …The girl is talented. And choosing to cover this, and cover it so well, was pure genius. #CareerMove
…Such a sick tone & delivery. Just as tricky as Chance‘s. (ergo why this cover was so dope). Must be a Chicago thing.. But either way. Back to the song. …Maaan, when she sings that first “I miss my cocoa butter kisses”, (smh) …you know it’s real! haha… lol
Beautiful voice. Great find. …And beyond the covers, her original work is just as good if not better. Sings, song writes, and plays… Way better quality then you’d expect. #SuperImpressive
… Jessica Hoyle may be an amateur now, but I would NOT be surprised if you hear her name down the road… Had to post. “Cocoa Butter Kisses” – Jessica Hoyle (Chance The Rapper Cover). Enjoy…

BONUS: Between this chick voice, her delivery, and her outstanding songwriting ability… she’s gonna make some record company a lot of money. That I grantee.
Yo this chick is super cute. lol No way she isnt ready made for the spotlight. Justin Bieber eat your heart out. (shrugs) …idk I just wanted to say that. No but seriously though. She’s American heart throb material. Just image what she would sound like in a studio… smh
RANDOM: This just reminded me of an early homemade Childish Gambino video he did in his room with his friend playing guitar in the background. Super dope video (and song) actually. Had to revisit. Wanted to share with you guys.
