What’s this? Manchester jungle vibes with slick piano work from Chimpo, DRS, Slay, and Ragoloco? Yes, please. An easy Tune of the Day.

RIP to the Queen of Soul
Rest easy, Aretha. You will be missed.
TOTD – The Rum Baba – Stop Talking VIP
This visually hypnotic video for the new Rum Baba EP on 31 Records is hype. This whole EP, entitled Hollywood, is killing it right now and I am excited to get my copy. You can pre-order it here. Stop Talking VIP is my Tune of the Day.
Poison Arrow – If You Don’t Love Me (I’ll Cut Your Face)
I’m really digging this new EP from Poison Arrow on Exit Records. Despite the creepy title, If You Don’t Love Me (I’ll Cut Your Face), is both auditorily and visually stunning.
LEVELZ – Front Face
Is there a more explosive, bass-riddled groups of MCs than Manchester’s all-star LEVELZ crew? I think not. BTW, yes, I’m still here. Life gets in the way of blogging. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
TOTD – Calibre & DRS – Sunrise
Another top notch jam from two of my favorite artists. Definitely my Tune of the Day. **I have no idea why I titled this song “Horizons” instead of “Sunrise.” Apologies.
RIP Apex
Just heard through Chris Renegade that Apex has passed away. RIP.
TOTD – ABRA – I Guess

One of the more subtle aspects of this tune is the sub-bass…it took me a couple of listens before I really caught it. This […]
Hybrid Minds – Brighter Day Video
One of my favorite albums in the last few years was Hybrid Mind’s Mountains from 2013. I fell off their recent output through no fault of their own, but I’m really excited about the impending release of their new work, Elements. As such, they’ve released a video for the single Brighter Day featuring vocalist Charlotte […]
Long Live The Chief
I was just revisiting this tune from the Luke Cage Soundtrack. It’s a big one.
