And the night doesn’t stop as we descend further into madness.
Ill rarity just dropped on me: mind-blowing Exile instrumental only available on a 2007 compilation floating off the coast of Barcelona(?)
Hard hats on, the atmosphere on this could scrape your scalps off. The fact I’m high and listening to this simultaneously doesn’t help either. THIS is a lesson in beat-building.
After rampant bootlegging earlier this year (which Your Mum was not really a part of) Blu & Mainframe’s overdue emcee/producer collabo project ‘Johnson & Jonson’ is set to drop September 23rd.
I’ve been saying it for over a year and a half- Blu is the truth: one of trailblazers of the new Westcoast renaissance.

My stand-out tracks highlighted in Bold Red above.
I’m suddenly a tad addicted to this LP; three mornings I’ve lay in bed and let it run dawn through daylight.
You may remember my palpable championing of Detroit beat-buster Daru (former drummer for Slum Village and Dwele tours; now a pad-pounding production powerhouse drawn into his element) right here. Now he’s combined Caltroit forces with rising Cali singer/songwriter Reggie B (quite the Purple disciple with that recurrent lusty rasp creeping in every so often) to run the train on your cotton-wool arse.
This be that full-bodied, nod factor, basement bounce, Hip-Hop Soul music with oscillating two-bar breaks, sparse loops that verge on thunderous, and a pinch of groove throbbing electrolysis to marry to that which is readily raw.
Daru is dangerous.
