Cap 6, Cap 6 !!! We back in here, and I’m glad to say that I have a new full length from Capital 6 to review, Summer Jelly Vol 2. Capital 6 is a dope collective of lyricists coming out of Tallahasse. Crew member Intricate explains perfectly how to describe the sound of Capital 6 in his track “Heads Up”. Here he delivers the lines “My crew lane is like the Pharcyde meets Wu-Tang”. You have Crimson who delivers so many bars in each line sometimes, I wonder how he is even breathing. Even more amazing, Crimson has the uncanny ability to stay perfectly in pocket . You have an Intricate, intense aggressive lyricist who has some of the most quotable bars and rhyme schemes out of any one in the crew. You have Donny Bransco, who without a doubt has the hypest choruses of anyone in the crew. Don’t let that hype box him in, Donny is no stranger to singing on his tracks as well. You have Rob Ohtis who sings the most in the crew. He has one of the dopest outlooks on love and life I’ve ever heard on wax. Finally you have Hakeem Furious ,who is like Read More…
Today we will look at Mac Miller’s project GO:OD AM. The tile which can read either good AM or go O.D. AM. This is a very fitting title for project. As the project is filled with down tempo, and dreamy reverb soaked sounds. The whole project feels like your either falling asleep or just waking up stuck in the twilight. Either that or you get the feeling that your wide awake and your world is slowing down due to the drugs you’ve just taken, which is something that Mac Miller isn’t shy to reference.
Dillatronic drops October 30th. Dillatronic, for all of you that don’t know is a new postmortem instrumental album from now legendary producer J Dilla. Ma Dukes ( J Dilla’s Mother) and Vintage Vibez Music Group are putting together various packages to release these new instrumentals to the public. I have mixed feelings about this project. I love J Dilla he is definitely in my top five favorite hip-hop producers of all time. On the one hand I’m thinking, I would love to get more Dilla. Its temping to think that if some Dilla is good than more must be better. On the other hand J Dilla died in 2006, and since his death his catalog of unreleased instrumentals have been mined by various artists. To illustrate this I want to list for all of the new projects, re-releases, and remix albums that have been released in Dilla’s name since 2006.
So wow, this is a thing that is happening. What started as a joke kickstarter campaign quickly turned serious. Raising more than $ 60,000 the internet was able to in effect force a remix album of Run The Jewels’ hardcore hip-hop album using cat sounds.I was of coarse shocked , when I first read this. Do cats even makes sounds ? I had to ask myself because in my personal experience it’s hard as hell to get a cat to make noise. This surely can’t be a thing that is happening. So I let a few months pass and lo and behold Meow the Jewels is released and features quite an impressive list of producers. You have El-P (of coarse), Just Blaze, Prince Paul, The Alchemist, and Dan the Automator just to name a few. So when I saw the list of producers this immediately peaked my interest even more than the initial announcement. These are all serious top level producers who always step up with amazing instrumentals. So it was weird to see them featured on a “joke” remix album. So I’m going to have to clear up what might be a misconception. Meow the Jewels is a serious Read More…

I first met Buster Wolf in early 2015. He was ripping a show at Liberty Bar(one of the best venues in Tallahassee). What stood out to me immediately about Buster Wolf was his alternative style, his incredible breath control, his high energy, and his gamer influence.From talking to him I gathered that we had a lot of the same musical background. Like me Buster had a firm familiarity with the classic hip-hop albums like the Black Star, Like Water for Chocolate, and Low End Theory. Not only that, he was also familiar with alternatives acts like Cannibal Ox and Doom. So when he told me that he didn’t have a proper full length it was a bit disappointing, but he let me know he was in the process of making a project call Vejigante I was really looking forward to it. Being a man in a mask, we shared a dope conversation about masks. Apparently the Vejigante is a piece of Puerto Rican folklore represented by these brightly colored masks. So after seeing Buster Wolf open up for KRS-One I was given a “physical” copy of his album Vejigante . The album is on a really cool looking card USB Read More…
Performance Preparation #17 : Absolute Zero September 17th – September 17, 2015 -Blog 17 part 2- Here is the next installment of my daily blog, leading up the ILoveMakonnen show on the 17th. Look at the previous installments before you start reading this one. Performance preparation blog(s): Absolute Zero Green Room @ilovemakonnen @abzeromusic @outlawedbeats @fleetwoodboss @850djdoubleg @tankbo561 @blacktarzandme A video posted by Darvon Deshaun (@loserlab) on Sep 17, 2015 at 1:24pm PDT So we had to head back to Suchaloser’s place to grab the merchandise. By the time we made it back, Fleetwood had arrived at the Moon. Now I could calm down a bit, all the members had made it to the venue and all we had left to do was wait. A few members of the crew went outside to get in there right mind. While I set up the merch table. Two years of working retail definitely comes in handy when you need to make a display. We were set up right next to the ATM so we weren’t having any of that I didn’t bring any money talk.
Performance Preparation #17 : Absolute Zero September 17th – September 17, 2015 -Blog 17 part 1 – Here is the next installment of my daily blog, leading up the ILoveMakonnen show on the 17th. Look at the previous installments before you start reading this one. Performance preparation blog(s): Absolute Zero Man does time fly. I feel like just yesterday I wrote the first one of these, but now its show day. The only word I can use to describe today is busy, and busy I was.I woke up 9 A.M. to start getting dressed for the show and finish the last blog post.This transitioned directly into me driving to Suchalosers place to pick him up so that we could pick up the loser lab shirts. On the way to pick up Suchaloser, I dropped Network off at the mall to go shop for clothes. Network would going to get a ride back with DJ Double G so I just left him there. The whole crew was supposed to ship out early, but no one was ready in time. The shirts were literally printed on show day so we had to go get them. We had a hard deadline of Read More…
