Some of you know that in my humble opinion, The Tribe has been one of the illest, sickest, consistently innovative groups ever...Hands down one of my top 3 favorite groups EVER. So I was diggin around lookin for stuff I might not have and stumbled across a few singles/ep's & imports that Ive either had and lost or just plain didnt know existed.....And now...I bring them to you...
Fin Greenall, a.k.a. Fink, is a Brighton-based singer-songwriter and "Sort of Revolution" is his third album under the independent label Ninja Tune. It is a very warm album, very easy to listen and even easier to fall in love with.
Also, from another record here is a live performance..just so you get the feel..of how genuine this artist is.

I was brought onto this channel some time ago,some long long time ago and ever since I´v been unable to leave. I'm under the piano spell. "Vkgoeswild" is a YouTube name for Vika Yermolyeva, a pianist, who covers mostly metal songs, but also leaves her options open for other things "fun". From a musical standpoint... I think you should pay attention to her. No, I insist you pay attention.
So check out what she can do...impressive, ain't it?
Click below to visit her channel and see what all she has done :) satisfaction guaranteed.

Subject: Apathy shits on Charles Hamilton, Asher Roth and New Boyz NEW SONG
When I first started taking rapping seriously… there was a system of checks and balances, to prevent “wack mc’s” from fucking up music. And if I’m sending you this mp3 right now, it’s because I respect you, and I know you know that.
Rappers/MC’s had to be nice and have skill. Now… that has been replaced with having buzz, and blogging and shit, without paying dues. Fuck that.
I don’t know when it became taboo to diss wack MC’s… but that needs to be brought back.
People confused dissing rappers… with hating. And that’s crazy.
Much love… much respect… please pass this around to everyone you know… or throw it up on your sites, if you have one.

I sat here listening to this album and I haven't had such hard time before..trying to come up with the right word to describe this handful of music. Its a no filler, constantly changing and keeping you on your toes, type of ass kicking. Its safe to say at this point its becoming one of my favorites this year.

Under the label Klopfgeist Records Andreas Bergmann has just..a few days ago released his EP "The Big Hangover". I have not yet managed to get my greedy hands on all 4 pieces (original + The Big Hangover (DJ Remy Remix) and on the flip side The Big Hangover (Rik Woldring Headache Remix)+ Malbetrieb Recovery Program. This song here on display is the original as you may have guessed (or read in the title haha). I encourage you to keep your eyes and ears open for the remixes if the original got your heart beating faster.
Nick Warren, a man that has brought some of the greatest sounds to amuse those who love some real serious electronic music, has been hosting a bi-monthly show on Frisky Radio since this February. The two hour set of his greatness is named Sound Garden. What we have here, boys and girls, is his playlist that dates back to the end of April... I have added a taste..but take my word for it..its a constant non stop beating of progressive sound...and is a great find. Hope you do enjoy it as much as I have.

ALOE BLACC INTERVIEW WITH THE MAROON CAFE
Such is the case for Aloe Blacc, the multi talented artist who’s on the verge of a breakout year. Already creating a huge buzz with his soulful modernized hustle anthem “I Need Dollar,” which speaks to the majority of middle aged youth just trying to make it in society. Blacc, the West Coast native who’s no newbie to the industry and has been in the game for over 15 years, mainly known for his partnership with Exile and there group Emanon. In a world where a once love filled relationship is quickly souring, Blacc is an epitome of what the music world needs right now, and could be the jolt everyone has been so anxiously awaiting for.
Hollywood Q: As a person and artist, who is Aloe Blacc? Aloe Blacc: I am pretty much a peaceful guy. I am a musician, academician, and entrepreneur. I like to learn and create. Mostly, I see myself as a producer as opposed to a consumer. I don’t spend much time shopping or seeking comfort externally or from material items.
How did the connection with Stones Throw happen? I met Oh No on tour in Europe and when we returned home, we started recording an album together. The label liked the songs that I was singing and asked me to do a vocal single. That lead to me signing an album deal for Shine Through.
If “Shine Through” was an introduction to your sound, what should we expect “Good Things” to be? “Shine Through” introduced me as a multi-genre artist and “Good Things” is an album that focuses specifically on the genre of soul music. I think that it makes sense for me to offer my audience a concentrated presentation in an album every once in a while.
Any elements in daily life help you during the process of the upcoming album? Driving, walking, cleaning, cooking, showering, exercising, and almost anything that requires some rote activity helps me come up with new ideas. Often times, just listening to really good music is the way to spark inspiration. Some of my lyrics are responses to other amazing songs from the past or influenced by music that is revolutionary to me.
Besides being a singer-songwriter, your also an emcee, do you remember what song it was that got you into hip hop? The song that I think got me into hip hop was Roxanne Roxanne by UTFO. When I was in kindergarten there was an older student on my bus who would let me listen to his walkman. I always wanted him to play that song.
You characterize Hip Hop as being “A young mans tool for magnifying his ego” explain? Hip Hop music serves many purposes but it seems today in the mainstream it is largely about ego. In the past, and in the contemporary underground, there are examples of songs that address social, cultural and political issues. However, they are often drowned out by the drone of empty machismo today.
Your parents are Panamanian, can we expect more Latin influenced work in the future? There will definitely be more Latin influenced music in the future. I am always writing and creating new music and many of my unreleased songs have underlying Latin rhythms. Sometimes I bury the Latin elements to see how people respond to them even though the final production may not readily sound like there is Latin.
Explain the process of your “I Need A Dollar” track becoming the theme song for How To Make It In America? What’s your take on the show? HBO wanted to find a song that matched the theme of the show and the music supervisor contacted Stones Throw to submit songs to choose from. “I Need a Dollar” was one of the songs in the bunch that the label sent and it was chosen right away. I think the show portrays the struggle that many of us 20-30 somethings are going through. We don’t really want to work for “the man” and we all have big dreams of being “the man” in some respects.
That song is a true anthem of the everyday struggles most individuals are facing now, was that your inspiration for creating the track? Well, it is definitely a timely song, but I actually started developing the lyrics back at the peak of the housing boom. Sometimes a song needs time to make sense and the current economic depression is the right time. I used to be a business consultant and I was laid off, so part of the song refers directly to personal experience.
Aloe Blacc 2006 and Aloe Blacc 2010 – what’s the difference life wise? In 2006, I thought I had seen a lot of the world, but since then I have been to a couple more continents. I am engaged and trying to decide what country I want to live in. I have a few more unreleased albums now than I did back then as well. Hopefully, I will get a chance to release them all.
And, so you wouldn't have to leave empty handed here is a download link to get your own dollar ;)
Another bagful of fresh sound from an amazing artist that has been on the field already as long as a decade. To give you an idea of whats going on..here is a little piece of an interview he gave to Pitchfork...
Pitchfork: How is the album different from the stuff you've already done?
FL: I think it's a lot better, off the jump. I think it's just progressing. I'm working with a lot more instruments and a lot more people, a lot of different textures. It's really becoming this thing that I wanted to do in the beginning. I'm finally getting to the point where I can make the kind of records that I want to make -- that I wanted to make when I was younger, things that I dreamed about making. It's this fusion-y kind of thing where all the elements of the music that I love are there. It's definitely inspired by some of the Alice Coltrane stuff, as well. It's kind of a dedication to her again. In the making of this record, I was going through a lot of stuff, and my aunt's music really helped me get through some tough times. I felt like it might be time to start trying to make the record more spiritual so it could maybe help somebody-- to help it show the new devotional music, I guess.
Pitchfork: Do you consider your music to be devotional music?
FL: Not everything. I think it comes from the same place, but the intent is always a little different. I feel like that was the true intent of the last record, and I feel like you'll hear it in this one. It's definitely there. You can hear the journey, man. That was kind of the point. I want to feel like, "Almost there! Almost there!"
Pitchfork: When you say you've been working with new people, who are some of the people you worked with on this one?
FL: I worked with an amazing bass player named Thundercat. He played bass in Suicidal Tendencies, and he plays bass for Erykah Badu and SA-RA and many other people. I'm working with Miguel-Atwood Ferguson, who's an incredible string arranger and composer. So we got full string arrangements on parts of the record, and all sorts of folks. We worked with Laura Darlington again, and some more vocalists who I don't want to name yet.
Tracklist:
Clock Catcher Pickled! Nose Art Intro//A Cosmic Drama Zodiac Shit Computer Face//Pure Being And The World Laughs With You ft. Thom Yorke Arkestry Mmmhmm ft.Thundercat Do The Astral Plane Satelllliiiiiteee German Haircut Recoiled Dance Of The Pseudo Nymph Drips//Auntie's Harp Table Tennis ft.

Really diggin this effort from JFK (Oldominion/GreySkul)
check out the joints and grab it from bandcamp...
JFK (Grayskul, Rhymesayers. Oldominion) is proud to present the first single and video "High School Sweet Heart" from his debut album "Building Wings On the Way Down". The track was produced by none other than Seattle's finest Jake One (Freeway, Rhymesayers, 50 Cent) and tells the story of JFK’s high school crush, who, it turns out, never really was his. A story of innocence, love, loyalty and betrayal many of us can relate to, over a Jake One banger.
“In honor of celebrating my birthday (which is today, May 10th) & the kickoff of 1st official European Tour for Crown Royale (Buff1 & Rhettmatic) in a few days, I want to share with you this little collection of songs & beats that I’ve produced.”
“A lot of people know me for being a Battle Dj / Turntablist, as a member of the Beat Junkies, or as a member and the Dj/Producer of the Visionaries… what a lot of people don’t know me for as a Producer… period, and that I have been doing production for quite sometime. I actually want to showcase some material (some Old, some Album & B-Side cuts, some Exclusives) that people might be surprised that I actually produced some songs that was outside of my usual circle; You might be pleasantly surprised to see whom I have worked with….Plus I included some material off the upcoming Crown Royale album with Buff1 & myself.
Hopefully you will enjoy the music & nod your head to this. If you enjoy it, please feel free to share it with your friends or post it up on your music blogs.
I’m just thankful to God that I can live another day to able to do what I love to do… and thank you for even peeping out the music.
God Bless You.”
I know it may not be something you came here to find, but it is organic and beautiful, happy and sad... It is something you need and you may not even know it. In the following video, the master himself, in his own words, will take you on the little journey into the world of this new album.

So soft so smooth so lovely the way the heart brakes. It´s gorgeous... To my knowledge, there is no full album out by this Chicago native artist, named Yaw, so a single will have to do for now, BUT remember the name and make it your business to dig in his past and get familiar with his future..and maybe some sunny (or rainy) day...there will be a album full of weeping sounds that will pour over you like sweet black honey.
Here is something I came across accidentally just a lil while ago and it would be a sin to keep it just to myself. A self-titled debut album by a Wellingon trio named Electric Wire Hustle. Intelligent and soulful music, wholesome and warm. In my opinion, its a must listen.
1. Waters 2. Gimme That Kinda 3. Perception 4. Again 5. Walk On Featuring Stacy Epps 6. Buy Some Land Put A House On It 7. This World Featuring Georgia Anne Muldrow 8. Thank You Steve 9. Jupiter Featuring Declaime 10.Burn Featuring Billy TK 11.Chaser 12.They Don't Want 13.Tom Boy
