Tommy Guerrero - A Little Bit Of Somethin'

Skateboarding and hip-hop culture have always made good bedfellows--you only need ask Tommy Guerrero. This icon of the sport is just about as famous as a skateboarder can get, yet at the age of thirty-three he decided to hang up his wheels and concentrate on more leisurely pursuits. A Little Bit of Somethin' is the inspired result--an album for which campfires and kicking back must surely have been invented. It's a little bit country, a little bit rock & roll, a Beck-lite collision of postrock blues, breezy summer jazz and whatever else gets pulled out of the rucksack. "Pescadito" is Nirvana's "Come as You Are" stripped down to its drum machine bones; "Soul Miner" oozes hot buttered '70s soul; "4 Track Samba" does exactly what it says on the tin, while "100 Years" is the sound of Ukrainian peasants nodding their heads to a twilight hip-hop mantra. This is a great CD.

Tommy Guerrero - From The Soil To The Soul

Formerly a high profile skateboarding professional of the eighties and nineties, Tommy Guerrero continues to transition his notoriously smooth style, creativity, and technical ability from the pavement to the studio as he settles deeper into his newfound career as an increasingly respected solo artist. On From the Soil to the Soul, he pushes his unique, jazzy, guitar-driven sound into a mature new realm.

Highlights can be found early on in the album with “The Underdog,” a seemingly blues-inspired instrumental featuring a stripped down hip hop beat and “Badder Than Bullets,” which comes in with fast and furious drums and chopped up, cleverly layered guitar rhythms.

Following the bold introductory offerings are “No Guns More Glory” and “War No More,” tracks that sound like something you would find on a classic Meters album—beautifully executed, straight-up, soulful funk jams.

The album moves on with an assortment of mellow blues, Latin, soul, and jazz infused tracks. Guerrero effectively resuscitates things towards the end with “Let Me In Let Me Out,” an undisputed banger fronted by supreme funk-vocalist Lyrics Born. Fans of Lyrics will recognize this track as a surprising departure from his usual hip hop and funk style as he proceeds to unleash a furious vocal barrage to the backdrop of Guerrero’s hard rocking, distorted out lead guitar.

With remarkably tight instrumentation and completely original songwriting found throughout, From the Soil to the Soul delivers the goods. Bluesy, soulful, funky, melodic, sometimes dreamy, and even hard-rocking, Guerrero’s album takes you on a wild and eclectic, yet surprisingly impressive and enjoyable ride.

Tosca - Suzuki

Here is track one. Sorry for the inconvienence

http://www.zshare.net/download/01-pearl-in-m4a.html

Tosca - Suzuki

Tosca's second album 'Suzuki' (Studio K7) takes a lighter, airier approach to the trip-hop terrain that Opera explored. The spare, shimmering title track's delicate synth textures, minimal beats, mellow rhythms, and breathy vocal samples set the tone for the rest of the album's laid-back tracks. Though 'Orozco', 'Bass on the Boat,' and 'Ocean Beat' are more immediate variations on Tosca's relaxed sound, for the most part, 'Suzuki' offers a locked groove of hypnotic, deeply chilled-out epics.

Tosca - J.A.C.

Change is a constant in life and it’s this key factor that has informed the recent adventures in sound for Tosca. With their upcoming fourth artist album J.A.C. the theme of fatherhood is the tie that has bound these two men together in a newly recharged musical kinship. Between the release of their last acclaimed album Dehli 9 and their new masterpiece, the two have become fathers.
This album is the most consistent formulation of both the carefree and the melancholic aspects of Tosca. The melodies quicken, the grooves are both fun loving and laidback. Huber and Dorfmeister have found both a fresh understanding of the art of understatement and a newly reformulated, breathtaking musical authenticity. Like the new life around them, J.A.C. similarly breathes new life into the characteristic sound of Tosca.

Besides the ever-present and celebrated Tosca mood, this new sound resonates with the vibrations of live instruments translated with a liveliness that captures the immediacy of creation and improvisation at its peak. It’s this live, real instrumentation that marks the sound of the new Tosca album the most significantly.

The duo brought in a cast of new artists to perform vocals on the songs including Samiah Farah from Paris, Chris Eckman, lead singer of Seattle based band The Walkabouts, former Rockers Hi-Fi MC Farda P, Londoner Earl Zinger of 2 Banks of 4 and Austrian rock legend Graf Hadik all appear on the microphones.

J.A.C. is full of music that is light-footed and melancholic, cheerful and deep, relaxed and energetic. It’s a sound that can be enjoyed everywhere, at any occasion.

The Sound Providers - Looking Backwards: 2001-1998

Sound Providers, Looking Backwards: 2001-1998 (ABB Records)

The title Looking Backwards references the fact that the hip-hop trio the Sound Providers broke up in 2001, and this collection pulls together odd unreleased/promo tracks from their 1998-2001 existence. But the title could just as well be describing their sound, which was undeniably retro, from their absolute-basics rhyming style to the jazz-soul slant of the music. Their music feels old-fashioned in its focus on the simple pleasures, but that's also its strong point, why it still sounds so damn good. Every track is simple – take a clip from a track by a beloved contemporary (a Guru quote from a Gan Starr classic, for example) and build it into a hook. Place some basic rhymes, not especially unique in content or delivery, around them – mostly about creativity and the art of MCing. And then, most importantly, build a smooth, classically jazzy atmosphere around it. That's what takes their music to another level: how effortlessly they build a sublime, pleasurable mood out of jazz textures. Part of a piano or guitar solo is looped until it forms a relaxed, riveting foundation. On track after track they take pieces of jazz, throws in a bit of a soul groove or melody, some basic but funky drums…the result is a low-key kind of magic. It doesn't matter that their rhymes are forgettable and their overall approach pretty repetitive; all that matters is that soothing, fulfilling, jazz-ridden hip-hop groove that they do so well.

Variable Unit - Handbook For The Apocalypse

After the success of VU's debut album Seven Grain, they return with several new recruits, new music, and a new concept; Handbook for the Apocalypse: A Hitchhiker's Guide Through the Conflict. The current state of the world is unsettling, confusing, and scary. Are we on the brink of World War III? How will we equip and handle ourselves during a time of crisis? The answers lie within your hands. Please open your Handbook for the Apocalypse, place it in your CD player and listen to music that can guide you through these times.
Handbook for the Apocalypse takes you into the trenches with thirteen diverse tracks that can only be described as politically charged organic hip-hop. From the opening drum march featuring wisdom by William Burroughs, Towers Open Fire sets you up for the first musical battle on this album. Following right behind is the lead single "Handbook for the Apocalypse" that showcases Command Surgeon Azeem's lyrical artillery. Socially consciousness poetry is showcased by Youth Speaks poets' Paul S. Flores on his piece "I am on a Journey to my Soul, but the Police Just Pulled Me Over," and on "Walking with my Son" featuring Marc Bamuthi Joseph. From the spiritual tones of Shake the Cosmic Dice" and "Beyond Babylon to the humorous skit of Hologram Network,"VU truly taps into our emotions, artistically expressing what many of us are afraid to say, but feel during this time of conflict.

As recently seen in the peace marches in San Francisco and Washington D.C, people in our country are truly taking a stand against our government and most of all war. V.U.s Handbook for the Apocalypse is the perfect musical supplement and soundtrack to support peace, compassion, and unity. Take a listen and take a stand!

Buckshot LeFonque

Lots of records are touted as breakthroughs by the hype machines and spinmasters, but this one really is -- a marvelously playful and, above all, musical fusion of the old jazz verities and newer currents swirling around the 1990s. "Buckshot LeFonque" was a pseudonym for Cannonball Adderley in the 1950s, and you'll squint long and hard trying to find Branford's name on the jacket and cover except for the tiny note, "Produced by B. Marsalis." Maybe he was hedging his bets against the expected (and received) flak from the jazz purists, but the reality is that he has found a brilliant way to fuse hip-hop rhythms with mainstream jazz licks without compromising either idiom. The best number is a lovely setting of Maya Angelou's poem -"I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," with absolutely gorgeous soprano by Marsalis, some great Miles-tinged muted trumpet from Roy Hargrove, and Angelou reciting her words against the big electronic backbeat. The free-thinking Branford also injects real funk into Elton John's "Mona Lisas (And Mad Hatters)"; throws in a little reggae, rap, and lots of sampling; gets down and dirty with Kevin Eubanks' slide guitar on the truckin' cut "Some Cow Fonque"; and unifies most of the package with a couple of recurring, catchy riffs and touches of horseplay. The only misfire is a totally incongruous, totally dull soul ballad called "Ain't It Funny" (sung by Tammy Townsend) that sounds as if someone suddenly switched CDs on your changer. Nevertheless, regardless of what the neo-boppers might say, this is a more imaginative record than any of Branford's estimable straight jazz projects -- and a lot more fun. ~ Richard S. Ginell, All Music Guide

Tabi Bonney - A Fly Guy's Theme

Tabi Bonney resides in Washington D.C. He is a fasion designer/rapper. He has his own clothing line called Bonney Runway and it is only sold in boutique's in the Washington D.C. area, Los Angeles and New York. He has been rapping since 17 and just never released a cd. This cd is real good, but it does have a few flaws. Lunchin' is just kind of ridiculous and On It doesn't have that good of beat. The rest of the cd is really well produced and Tabi spits some decent rhymes. The Pocket is really popular in D.C. and you can tell why just by listening to it, real catchy. Overall I give this cd 4 out of 5.

Walk Like A Man DVD

In 2004, indie rapper Murs rocked the underground hip-hop community with his powerful storytelling skills on the critically acclaimed album MURS 3:16: THE 9TH EDITION. This feature film dramatizes one of the album's most memorably potent songs, the emotionally wrenching revenge tale "Walk Like a Man." Murs himself stars as aspiring rapper Murray, who, along with his best friend Pete (Damien Wigfall), struggles to break into the music industry while working a soul-crushing day job. When Pete is brutally gunned down in front of him in a street fight, Murray is torn between his musical aspirations and a desire for vengeance. Gritty and authentic, WALK LIKE A MAN is accompanied by Murs's complete music video anthology, which includes "Bad Man," "Hustle" (featuring wrestling star John Cena) and "Risky Bizness" (featuring rappers Shock G and Humpty Hump).
