Dent ft. Phumes "Yo Love" (Produced by Ron Jullian)


Here are our thoughts on some of the standout tracks on this album.

GRIND MUSIC 09: Sol Powa's beat on this is ill. Dent's rap on this is, strange, like never really heard him fuck with that style. Its like drunken boxing as opposed to Dent's normal Karate.

ROCK ROCK Y'ALL: Classic 2004 vibe, Dent playing his part as the lost member of The Procussions, w/ Stro on the beat. Enough said.

YO LOVE: Any song with Phumes is a gem to me... Hopefully we'll do a nice little Phumes feature soon on the Rap Report. Also cool to see "Sunshowers" being referenced here in its developmental stage. Because this song has got to be older than "Sunshowers", because its Dent & Phumes. Phumes kills it by the way, where is that dude?!?!

WHO I BE: Another crazy style from Dent, kind of his Shady/Aftermath side? It works whatever it is, and who is Odetta? A lot of lost music on here for sure, this LP is turning out dope. And I don't usually support "B-Side Compilations", but this is almost like an LP.

TO THE TOP: Ill beat from producer Flawless. The homie Hevy gets some shine on this, which is dope. Everyone comes correct and this beat is really nice, with a dope bassline and everything.

ALL THE REAL HEADZ: Yo it starts out normal enough, but wait til you hear Dent, or should I say, EMIDENT!!! Wow, this is the Shady/Aftermath side of Dent full power, I was like, Where have I heard that before?? That's Eminem's flow!! But he pulls it off, and its a trip.

Overall this is very consistent, and captivating, with few dull moments. An attention keeper through and through.

Parkhill Shortbus ft. Ichiban, Shmeeze, Jagzilla, Geezle, & Chinch33 "Two Comma Kids"

TWO COMMA KIDS: Man this song is the shit, Zapp & Roger would be proud. This should be on the radio. The beats is dope, the hook is on rewind, I would love to see the youtube video of this song when it was being recorded.

Parkhill Shortbus really came correct with this one, this is classic material right here.

Real Hip Hop.

FREEDOM: This is a chill song, with a touch of R & B. Very "we are the worldy" , but in a good way. All the Rappers come correct. And the overall production is very nice.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?: Probably my favorite verse on the album from Geezle, who is starting 5 on this Triple CD. The beat is ill too.

At times this CD also drops bits and pieces of schizophrenia on the listener in the form of bizarre skits/interuludes. Stay tuned for the 2nd and 3rd installments of this Triple CD from The Parkhill Shortbus.

BIG D O "THE TAPE"

New mixtape from DJ BIG D O of Colorado Springs.


"Bringing you his debut Remix project on his new imprint Foresight Records, underground beatmaker BIG D O emerges with "The Tape". Tired of real Hip-Hop being ignored and mis-handled D O has set out to put his own unique stamp on the game and remind people of what used to be...and what still can...

"The Tape" is represenative of those glorious days of old when cassettes and vinyl dominated and good music was backed up by solid and conscious emceeing. Collecting a bevy of acapella's from the underground's most respected acts to remix, "The Tape" was a true labor of love and was recorded over the span of two years....Full of warmth, inventive samples, vinyl drum break gems and designed to mimic what a cassette would
sound like, D O takes you on a Lo-fi journey into what he deems "real music for real music lovers"."

THE ART OF BROKEN GLASS EP

Boonie Mayfield, "That Dude On Youtube", and an MPC impresario who is also a monster on the keys. He makes his way out of Colorado Springs...

Mr.J Medeiros, MC, BBoy, and a member of the legendary Procussions, knows a thing or two about beats, being a part time producer himself. He also makes his way out of Colorado Springs...

What is The Art of Broken Glass EP? Let's find out...

Press Play.



Mr. J Medeiros "Umpire State" (Produced by Boonie Mayfield)

"Love Is All" features Tara Ellis, it does its thing and she holds down the middle of the song beautifully. Mr. J does a good thing by using his 2nd verse to elevate the song to new heights in the later stages of the track. Good track that cries out the speakers at you.

"Umpire State" is blessed to be the product of such a classic beat, sincerely. The horns? Man the whole thing lies directly within the lineage of Jazz that Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, and Pete Rock all belong too, all the while it invokes images of home with its Colorado tone. Can't say enough good things about this song, so just check it out and weigh in for yourself. Mr. J holds it down on top of this 1000 pound gorilla of a Beat.

"The Measure" features Jonathan Korszyk doing vocals on the hook. And the album consistently progresses. The Bassline reminds of some Jazz Fusion Return to Forever sampling a la something Madlib might get his hands on.

"Tower of Cards" is the most aggressive on the album. It also features a more traditional Mr. J Medeiros, invoking memories of his days in The Procussions. It features a symphonic composition from Boonie, which is quite different than the production he has provided on the EP up until this point.

"Broken Windows" is the semi-title track, and reminds of "Umpire State", as if it were a cousin or maybe your dad's cousins brother. It stand out on its own, its definitely fam, but it also is a little more serious in character than "Umpire State". The horns are also way different in this one, gone is the sound of filtered vinyl and ghosts, instead we get a full and in your face brass section, that sounds like it is standing the studio with Mayfield himself.

The album weighs in at five tracks, which makes it perfect for rewinding and revisiting immediately.

And that's that, cop it, and support Mr. J as he continues to carry with him the blessing of his music. And buy some Boonie beats while you are at it, support the scene.

FEEL MODE 2 TRAILER

Press Play.



This has been long anticipated. I remember kickin' it with Medz back in '06 and he was talking about this.

You may also recall that Medz aka Eric Heights directed the brand new Hood Hop Music Video that The Pirate Signal just released.

Basically this is a very CO-Centric graffiti video, the sequel to the first Feel Mode, and a what should be a great piece of Film Making.

DJ Cysko Rokwel and DJ Tense did the soundtrack, which they released awhile back ('06), and its absolutely fire.

I'm gonna try to get a hold of it this week and put that out too, its some super gangster shit put in the hands of two Crunk Brothers who are renowned for their DJ Skills and Battling Careers.

SPOKE IN WORDZ (PRODUCED BY NOEL Z.)

I'm pretty sure that this is has been floating around for awhile, I think I originally saw it on The Backbeat.

However, now this single has an Official Press Release, so here it is, "Never Let Go" produced by Noel Zancanella of Radio 1190 fame.

If you don't know about Spoke, there is probably a lot you don't know, and way too much to cover right here right now. So do your research.

INFINITE SHIRTZ

Not sure how exactly to secure one of these, I guess that's why the name of this picture "Ask About Shirts".

I guess the people to ask would include Jolt, Guerrilla Garden, Spoke In Wordz, O.N.E., and DJ Chonz.

What I do know for sure is Guerrilla Garden (Jolt) is responsible for the ill design, and that these dope T-Shirts are a good look for the Denver based Hip Hop Group.
