XYZ - Black Hue


10 tracce strumentali potenti, aggressive e "oscure": ecco "Black Hue", il nuovo beat tape del producer nigeriano XYZ.

Download gratuito da questo link!

"Black Hue" is XYZ’s second solo collection of beats: A masterful collage of gritty unrelenting boom bap from start to finish. Occasionally revealing patches of dancehall, soul, Electronica and a lot more for those knowledgeable enough to disentangle its DNA but for the casual listener a stellar head-nodding experience is promised. The name alludes to hip-hop's origin as the artform of the borrower, the collector, the sampler and the re-inventor, with all other genres adding colour to this dark canvas.

XYZ continues to build on his signature sound he first exhibited on Xperimentz (2011), melancholy samples layered over gritty percussion, but never shys away from throwing in surprises around every bend. Proving why he is becoming the go to producer for that Raw and unorthodox sound while still remaining a formidable threat behind the mic.

The ‘darkness’ of “Black Hue” is Immersive though never overwhelming; Absorbing light but giving warmth. Most importantly it remains true to the essence of the beatsmith's craft: the ability to create something unique and instantly recognisable from different sources. Enjoy!

Third Eye - The 3Day Theory


Third Eye è un MC famoso in Malawi e in tutto il Sud Africa, avendo già collaborato con grossi nomi del panorama black di quella zona.

"The 3Day Theory" è il suo nuovo EP, 8 tracce potentissime e rappate sia in inglese che in lingua madre.

Una vera sorpresa. Download gratuito da questo link.

Consigliato.

Third Eye is a Malawian hip hop artist born Mandela Mwanza on All Saints Day 1984.A poet and a writer by the age of eight,Mandela’s musical career is more than a life choice and is simply a choice to live.Fueled by his passion to create feeling through wordplay,it is no surprise that Mandela slowly grew from a young writer and poet to a hip hop artist called Third Eye when he dropped out of college midway through his Philosophy degree to pursue a fulltime career in music in 2005.

While in Nairobi at the time,Third Eye resisted intense family and peer pressure to return to school and under the spiritual mentorship of African hip hop legends such as Doobeez of K-South and Kama of Kalamashaka stuck to his musical path.

He returned home to Malawi a social outcast in 2006 and in 2007 released his debut album IMAGINE BEING JESUS AND NOT KNOWING IT followed by TAKING KANDY FROM A BLIND BABY in 2009,THE HAT-TRICK and BROKEN VERSES in 2010 and his first Chichewa album KUMIDIMA in 2011.

These albums established Third Eye as Malawi’s premiere hip hop artist and he went on to work on various projects and shows with UNICEF,Goethe Institut,British Council,CocaCola,Madonna’s Raising Malawi and other organizations of similar repute.Third Eye is also now a three time Lake of Stars performer and has during the recent past shared stages with The Maccabees,Freshly Ground,K’naan,The Foals,Sway,2 Face Idibia,DJ Oskido ,Beverly Knight and others.

Third Eye is now currently based in Johannesburg,South Africa and is working on his sixth solo album which is being produced by Mpumi Dhlamini.

Larry Achiampong - Meh Mogya (Sample Of Me)


Oggi vi segnalo questo interessante album strumentale di Larry Achiampong, Producer inglese di evidenti origini africane.

Le 21 tracce dell'album sono state prodotte usando campioni dalla Highlife Music e quindi tutto il lavoro è intriso di sapori e groove che arrivano dalla Terra Madre.

Un lavoro originale e gradevole. Download gratuito o con donazione da questo link.

The Title “MEH MOGYA” or “MY BLOOD”, when translated from Twi/Akan (a principal native language of Ghana) to English symbolises my intentions of the concept that I originally titled “SAMPLE OF ME”.

The aim of the project was to investigate, navigate; sample and re-present sound as a heritage/legacy of my origins.
This project uses samples from Highlife music of the 1960’s through to the early 1980’s.

This LP is created in special dedication to my son, Sinai Lee Achiampong.

In this record is a remnant of my origins, my dreams, fears, my passion and a legacy that has been passed on to me.

I do it justice in the MOGYA I have poured into this LP.

I pay homage to the true soldiers of yesterday and their struggle for freedom of Africans – their words have relevance today.

Special thanks to Emily Pethick, Louise Shelley and Roi Driscoll for all of their hard work on the vinyl release.

Special thanks also to Professor John Collins for encouraging me on my journey.

I give thanks to my mother and father for breathing me into being.

Thanks are due to NYAME for creating this beautiful project.

Iyadede - The Demo

Il disco è molto bello, ricco di r'n'b ed hip hop, suoni e voci che arrivano dalla Terra Madre e le produzioni sono ottime; un disco da scaricare e ascoltare a ripetizione.

Consigliato!
