Small Professor – Nasty Jawns (EP)
December 11, 2013
Philly based producer Small Professor’s solo release – a six-track EP entitled “Nasty Jawns.” Appropriately titled, the EP is an eclectic erotic blend of Marvin Gaye, Isaac Hayes, Jodeci, Drake, Ron Isley… It’s good. Yeah. Good and nasty. Smart sublime move to use the original ‘Nasty Girl’ herself, Janet Jackson, on the artwork too. Dopeness

The Other Guys – “Memories Fade” feat. yU x Substantial
September 27, 2013
Score another scoop for Bad Magics. This particular single “Memories Fade” is a favorite of mine off The Other Guys’ EP entitled “The Opposite of Sex.”
“Sex is the mere reason for man’s existence today, naturally throughout life and its pleasures its opposite pain rears its ugly head. One can’t fully appreciate the pleasures of life with out feeling some pain in between.”
– The Other Guys

Knifefight – “Knifefight” (EP)
September 27, 2013
My folks over at Bad Magics not only hip me to the latest from undergrounders that I know… but also to artists and trends that I should get to know. Take this self-titled collaborative EP “Knifefight” – experimental abstract offering from the duo consisting of Beans (the native New York emcee) and Mux Mool (the Minnesota producer). Though this work is barely in my range of comprehension, I’m told these guys have been much farther off the grid. Their typical sound tastes bounce between and sometimes blend electronic with futuristic Star Trek 24th century vibes with street grime with funk. The tone is usually dark but said of this project…
“It’s the most relaxed, fun and playful album I’ve ever done, but it’s still hard enough to feel like a knife fight, y’know.â€
– Beans
Hey, what’s good is good. And this is good… in any century. Check it out.
