Trinidad James – “Gold On My Macbook” (LAKIM Refix)

Trinidad-James

Believe it. A post on Trinidad James.

Trinidad James is blowing up. Allegedly he’s already signed to Def Jam. Although I’m not an fan of what I’ve heard of his music so far, this remix right here trumps everything. Now don’t start dissing this before you hear it. I’m sure this remix will not be what you expect. In a good way. Check out “Gold On My Macbook” (LAKIM Refix) below.

Black Milk – Demo Beats 2012

Detroit producer & emcee Black Milk took to his soundcloud page to release some of the beats he’s cooked up for 2012 for his fans’ audio consumption. It’s about time we heard something from Black Milk who seemed to be rather quiet for most of the year. I’m still hoping he drops an official song & video for that ‘Don Cornelius’ joint he teased us with a while back. After listening sitting here listening to these instrumental demo joints, the track that catches my attention the most occurs around the 2:50 mark. That’s that gritty Detroit hip hop most of us fiend for. Black Milk has to stop disappearing like this. I’d like to see Black Milk put out more videos from past albums while in between projects to hold fans over until the new stuff is done. Until he does I guess these demo instrumentals should suffice for how.

Karriem Riggins- ‘Summer Madness’ (Video)


Stones Throw Records’ Karriem Riggins comes out with a hot one! “Summer Madness” is instrumental ear candy, as well as a feast for the eyes. The dope visuals (above) keep up with the change-ups in the track nicely. Good stuff. Directed by Donavan Glover and Gerard Victor, the video was produced by Kay Mohamed for Shot Selection. Liking the get home, get changed, get out, and get it in trip this video takes you on. Groove and chill to this.

Dope cover art by High Impact Multimedia (photography by Linda Costa) by the way. Stream it and check it out below.

Tall Black Guy – “Desperte se Rápido” (Instrumental)

From his 11-track digital album, “Brazilian Chronicles” (out now), Tall Black Guy releases this instrumental gem, “Desperte se Rápido.” A nice uplifting message at the end, too. The commentary at the ends sounds like the voice of Bobby McFerrin but I could be wrong though. You can get “Brazilian Chronicles” – a montage of Brazilian-sampled music (including “Desperte se Rápido”) – by following the link provided here.

Cardiak – “The Emergency Room” Vol. 1 (Instrumentals)

New Jersey’s own producer extraordinaire Cardiak has released his first all-instrumental download, “The Emergency Room” Vol. 1, featuring music for “Lean Wit It,” “600 Benz,” “Start It Up,” “Outlaw,” and more.  The Willingboro, New Jersey (outside of Philadelphia) based producer is definitely seeing his stock rise so he’s letting loose some freebies for the emcees to get busy over or for those of us who dig his beats. My favorite is the ‘Lean Wit It’ joint he produced for Meek Mill. Also included in his new mixtape are beats that have never been heard prior to this release. Get “The Emergency Room” Vol. 1 by Cardiak right here or listen to the beats from the project below…

Thank us later. And you’re welcome.

R&B/Jazz: Quiet Dawn – “Sunshine”

Quiet Dawn is a producer, arranger, and radio host from Paris, France. He does music in the Hip-Hop, Nu Jazz, Nu Soul, Broken Beat, and Deep House genres. This track caught my ear right from the click – a smooth instrumental melody that made me nod and bob. Get down to “Sunshine” however you do when a mellow groove comes through your speakers.
