Mama Said Knock You Out 20th Anniversary Remix Album

KevinNottingham.com Presents:

 

 <a href="http://kevinnottingham.bandcamp.com/album/mama-said-knock-you-out-20th-anniversary-remix-album">The Boomin' System by KevinNottingham.com</a>
 

 From KevinNottingham.com-


On August 27, 1990 LL Cool J teamed up with legendary producer Marley Marl to create one of my favorite hip hop albums of all time, Mama Said Knock You Out. “Don’t call it a comeback!” 20 years later, we here at KevinNottingham.com have gathered producers and emcees from all over the globe to remix a classic.
It all started 8 months ago with a weekly remix contest challenging producers to flip the original samples Marley Marl used to create the production for the album. 15 weeks later, the winning beats were chosen and the quest to find the right emcees to hop on these joints began.
After 8 months of hard work, I believe we have an album that greatly pays tribute to the original. Special thanks goes out to DJ Blacquestarr, DJ Grain, and Thomas (of KN.com) for helping with the contest. Thank you also to all the producers and emcees involved in this project… job well done.  Last but not least, thanks to LL Cool J and Marley Marl for laying the blueprint and providing the inspiration for making this remix album possible.
I hope you all enjoy this remix album…

BUFF1 - Ghosting


Ghosting is a project that gives listeners insight on the types of artists and music that inspires Buff1.  Giving himself one week to write original material, Buff1 created this free project to be released into the blogosphere.  Choosing songs that coincidentally had space for Buff1 to spit, none of the original songs have been edited.
Buff felt there were obvious similarities between the music on this project and one of his favorite Ghostface songs “Holla”; on which Ghost raps over the entire Delfonic’s song “La-La Means I Love You”.  Ghosting also happens to be a game where one person follows behind another, mimicking their movements as closely as possible, without being detected.
The Ghostface homage, combined with Buff1 trying his best to follow in the footsteps of the artists who inspired him to write this project, made the title obvious.  Lastly, don’t sleep on the exclusive bonus track “Better” produced by Slot-A.
Buff1 was inspired by:
  1. Grizzly Bear – Southern Point
  2. Little Dragon – Feather
  3. Joni Mitchell – The Dry Cleaner From Des Moines
  4. Portishead – We Carry On
  5. Shuggie Otis – Aht Uh Mi Hed
  6. Quadron – Day
  7. Michael Franks – Lady Wants To Know
  8. Robert Glasper – All Matter
  9. Mirah – The Garden
  10. The Beatles – Sun King
  11. Hudson Mohawke – The Harvest
  12. Buff1 – Better (Prod. SLOT-A

De La Soul Vs A Tribe Called Quest - DJ Flash Gordon Parks Presents

The Native Tongues were bigger than a mere posse/crew/click or what have you. They represented afrocentricity, positivity and most important….CREATIVITY!!! The Holy Trinity was Jungle Brothers, De La Soul, & A Tribe Called Quest. The music they made in the late 80s to mid 90s help transform and restructure Hip Hop. Their influence on the culture still resonates to this day. They showed us that the music, lyrics and concepts are limitless….there is no place ur mind can’t travel.

Free Sol - Dont Give It Away (single/mixtape links)






If you're like me and just finished watching the latest episode of Entourage, you were probably wondering what that song was at the end credit. The song is by a five piece band from Memphis who have caught my attention with Don't Give It Away. The track starts off with a crackling beat with dark pads, erie synths and a classic southern drawl rap. The song encompasses a gangster rap feel with soulful signing and ends off with some epic drums. The music supervisor responsible for Entourage (Scott Vener) let loose this track via his blog. Free Sol are new to me, I suggest we both hit up their latest free mixtape

Dont Give It Away HERE 




Memphis hip-hop group FreeSol has hooked up with DJBooth.net to drop RockNRolla, a street album on which the live-band ensemble puts their spin on a variety of rock classics.
Hosted and presented by DJ Benzi, the 17-track project finds rapper Free, keyboardist Premo D’anger, drummer Kickman Teddy and vocalist/guitarist Elliot flipping memorable tracks by Smashing Pumpkins (“RockNRolla”), The Doors (“Before You Slip”), and many more.
