I got that We Came From Beyond 2 last night and it's really good... gotta listen to it a few more times though before passing judgment though.

[highlife]

to add some shit noone has yet heard but will FIEND for more when they do:

SOUND IN COLOR RECORDS

just peep the quality of their website and you can tell this crew is going far

www.soundincolor.com

(click the 'passport' link and just listen to the ILLLLLLL-ass groove!)


jel's 'greenball II' is fire too. i got an advance copy so i'm not sure what the release title is going to be but half the album is pure genius.


no matter what pm says about this 9th wonder/pete rock collab, it is HEAT! i can't really tell which tracks are by whom but i'm assuming the ones with vocals (3 or 4 tracks) are 9th and most of the instros are pete. the beats on this thing just fucking smash. i guess it must be some bootleg mix-cd or something. regardless, this is the twampness!!!!

kool keith - the lost masters. there are about 4 really tight tracks on this. he used some nice drums and it sounds similar to the analog brothers lp.

[BTS6]

Good picks duzzin! Verbal wrapped it up. except for radiohead. shits got way to much on it.

little brother - the listening
brother ali - shadows on the sun
pigeon john - is dating your sister
madlib - shades of blue
radiohead - hail to the theif
the white stripes - elephant
dwele - subject
jay dee - vintage
grouch - sound advice (i'm actually feeling this a lot more than cfj right now)
psc - extra credit 2 / summer school
bleu collar - lp and the mixtape
