Flashing Lights (Ft. Dwele) - Instrumental
Produced by: Kanye West
From: (Graduation) - (Good/Universal) - (2007)
Kanye West’s “Flashing Lights” has been out for a minute, but I just got the single (finally!) so I’m upping the Flashing Lights Instrumental. A slowed house-beat drives that so-so sweet soul loop and stuttering pads, with Connie from Sneak Sound System being sampled for the vocal hits. Dwele comes in and butters it all golden as usual and you’ve got what I think is the 2nd best joint on the album (after, of course, Can’t Tell Me Nothing)
As shit gets mad cold up in the T-Dot, I gotta keep this in rotation to remind me of those hot summer nights, and, being murdered by a busty Spanish porn star in the trunk of my car.

Sunnmoonsekt LP
Production by: Slumplordz (Hard Rard & Moon)
(Sunnmoonsekt) - (Stray Records) - (2001) - (Re-Issue)
Fritz the Cat: “These guys are their own genre. forget crunk. forget grime. get slump.”
This is one motherfuckin’ weird album. I first heard of these guys in Fritz The Cat’s vice column like a billion years ago, and he was jocking them hard. I finally copped the CD by accident swapping tracks with my home from Ottawa, Pierre Truedough. holla. This is the 2001 re-issue of the original 1999 LP, to be clear.
Again, and I must stress this, this is one totally insane as all shit album. The beats are intensely robotic, minimal and on the same tip as the first Viktor Vaughn album. Big snares, droning electronics, short, punchy loops and some totally fucking weird bridges with cats bugging out in the hallway..it has it all. They must smoke some serious dust in the bay.
A collective fronted mainly by MC / Producers Hard Rard and Moon, with heavy involvement of bay area MC’s Ogre and Irahk the Rigor, the Slumplordz have been around FOREVER and are still kicking on the most underground of underground tips. After 2 discs for Stray in the early 90’s (Slumplordz Present: Tha’ Yakuza in “Don’t Worry About the Kaliber” and this one: Slumplordz Present: Sunnmoonsekt, bullshit with the label and day-to-day dramas led to a 5 year hiatus from recording for the bay area crew. Returning with production work for other west-coast rappers, the crew re-appeared with “Sav City” a mixtape style album; the first to feature all members of the collective.
These guys are crazy underground, but in the best way. Sometimes you need to get blunted out and think of post-apocalyptic ninja-robot-gangsters who need to be ass-whipped in a rap battle. You just do.
WARNING: I’d say almost half of these songs are actually pretty fucking horrible, knocked by boring beats or sloppy rapping, but off the bio-polymer-chain gems Do tha’ Sunn Moon, Dethblow and the sizzurpy Area 33rd more than make up for it. Anyone down with the first Viktor Vaughn album, Vast Aire, Kool Keith, Ghislan Poirier’s stuff, the weirder end of the Neptunes / Timbaland or electronic music will feel this. People who like MIMS and The Pussycat Dolls (un-ironically) need not apply.

LMNO & Kev Brown - Raise
Produced by: Kev Brown
From: (Selected Hearing) - (Up Above Records) - (2008)
Another dope beat from Maryland’s own Kev Brown , the man behind the Brown Album, sometime Pete Rock / Grap Luva colaborator and no stranger to the page. He’s been quiet for the last year or so, but this should put his name back on the lips of internet nerds everywhere.
Before he goes full tilt this year with beats on Busta Rhymes new “Blessed” album (check the “Packing Them Things” joint for proof), Kev Brown produced this disc for Visionaries own LMNO.
When a track has “Produced by: Kev Brown” on the linerm you know what to expect: Head Nodding drums, jazzy samples and a classic, bittersweet vibe… and “Raise” does not disappoint.
As the summer winds down, you know what to do with this.

Guilty Simpson : Ode to the Ghetto
Produced by: Oh No
From: (Ode to the Ghetto) - (Stones Throw) - (2008)
No explanation necessary. I’ve had the Guilty Simpson Ode to the Ghetto LP for a minute, but just copped the 12″.
This is another Indian-flavoured rubberfunk joint from the only Michael Jackson still doing good work (expect for Trevor on Trailer Park Boys, word) , Oh No, aka the Oh Knuckle, aka Madlib’s lil’ bro.
Just get this already. Hot bananas.

Extended Review + Response from Dutchmassive (!)
I got this preview of the new Dutchmassive (the Tampa cat who dropped Project Reach in 06 and Junk Planet, also know for work with Majik Most and Celph Titled) an instrumental joint called “The Drumlove EP”. A nice, if a little lo-fi, mix of some very old-school jazzy beats.
Update: After getting a chance to really get into this a few more times, I have to say it’s left me wanting more on Dutch’s forthcoming new disc. It reminded me of classic A Tribe Called Quest and Diamond D, but it’s clear dude’s channeling Dilla on a few beats, and even some Steve Spacek. There’s no track numbers on this one so pinning it down to specifics ain’t easy, but what stands out is the maturity of the production; Dutchmassive doesn’t need to bang out heaters in the club to bring the heat, the heat you hear is like August, 3:00AM downtown, with blunt smoke heavy in the air.
I am fiending to hear it in Hi-Fi without the speak and spell hosts, so everyone watch out for this one.
After a summer of paper-thin casio joints it’s nice to hear someone holding it down for the 8 bar loops and record pops. It’s a 25 or so minute mix, so put it on, light one up and do your dishes or some shit.
Response From DUTCHMASSIVE
Note: I wanted to add this to the post so more cats could read it…dude comes CORRECT.
Dutchmassive
I Usually stay away from Poping in around Reviews or Interviews , things of that nature….
But The way you worded and reviewed my EP was Perfect.
I created and Released this Project and are pushing it with massive force due to all the Casio, synth, tho Dope…..All this electronic hiphop is starting to become overkill and its hard to tell who is making what beats….
I keep it Jazzy, Dirty, with Dust and pops…… Thanks for Appreciating it…..and defiantly was made to play during dishwashing hahahahaa
peace and
Enjoy the rest
