This was a welcome change of pace in my musical inventory. Belgium’s Glints has been stuck inside, just like the rest of us, so he used his time to knock out a very topical 16 minute mixtape. Enjoy!

My 2020 Quarantine Music Purchase Playlists
I have an expansive digital music library that was in absolute shambles thanks to iTunes metadata fuckery over the years. When the isolation period began in Texas I resolved that I’d use my free time to fix it file by file, folder by folder, and label by label so that it was accurate and correct. […]
Amerigo Gazaway – The Miseducation of Eunice Waymon

I’ve pimped Amerigo Gazaway’s mash-up work for a few years. He has this unique ability to combine classic soul/jazz/RnB with old school hip-hop to make seamless works. Some of my past favorites are the Cool-Out Corner mix, Fela Soul the De La Soul & Fela Kuti collab and Mos Def & Marvin Gaye double albums. […]
Amerigo Gazaway – A Common Wonder
No one is the world is doing better mash-up work than Amerigo Gazaway. The best part of all this fabulous effort? It’s fucking free. After amazing mash-ups of Mos Def/Marvin Gaye and UGK/BB King, he’s dropped a Common and Stevie Wonder work that’s got me movin’ in my chair. Get down on it y’all! AmerigoMusic.com […]
Long Live The Chief
I was just revisiting this tune from the Luke Cage Soundtrack. It’s a big one.
RIP Squirt DJ

Unfortunately he passed away on the 1st of April after a short illness. Squirt was talented, hilarious, […]
Skittles – Problematic
One of Manchester’s finest wordsmiths, Skittles, has just released his new video to accompany the release of Problematic on Propatop. If you like the tune you can grab it from Skittles Bandcamp Page

Stray – Paradise Crossing Studio Mix
Stray did a hip-hop-mash-up-drum-and-bassline mix for his new Paradise EP on Exit Records. It’s only 23 minutes old and what I’ve heard so far reminds me of leftfield head trip, but I’m still working my way through it. Most definitely worth a download and listen though.
TOTD – LEVELZ – LVL 09
That rowdy buncha Mancunian MCs and producers are back again with another LEVELZ crew production. I mentioned on Facebook that I have very little use for American rap and hip-hop these days. It’s become a shell of itself in recent years and they’ve more or less lost the plot. Most rappers take themselves entirely too […]
