JansportJ: Five Days Until MoveMeants (Instrumental Album) Release!
Waddup World
The time is near for me to release my first solo project since 2009's American Gospel Jay-Z remix album. You guys have showed me tremendous support, and I truly appreciate it. Just wanted to warn you guys that I'll be sending out material once a day until the release date of April 5th, so PLEASE bare with me, and I promise to leave you alone for most of 2010!
This project is entitled MoveMeants and is an instrumental album that I've been working on for the past couple of months with Acrylick and LrgrThnLfe. With people asking here and there about the direction of the album, I decided to give insight to the album and the creation process via youtube. I'll be releasing a video a day until April 5th.

Choze & JustNice - Respect Earned: The Remixes (Presented By Sound-Society.Net & RefinedHype.com)
Via Me
DOWNLOADLast Summer, Choze & JustNice set out on their journey to create the perfect project. A project that would showcase their ability and allow them to take what is truly theirs. They worked tirelessly and through it all, they created a project was recognized by some of the most respected people and blogs in the game (including Kevin Nottingham, DDotOmen & Hip-Hop Update). Soon after, Choze’s manager and former DJ, Natac, began to blend records again and offered to do a remix of their record Drive. From there, they never turned back, setting out, once again to re-create a truly special project for the fans to enjoy. The project features production from Bangladesh, Hi-Tek, 9th Wonder, Sledgren & much more.

Take A Step Back: Mic Geronimo
This album along with a slew of other underground albums that dropped in the 90s is SEVERELY overlooked. Mic Geronimo could hold his own with just about anyone on a track. Although his career was short lived (Artists don't fuck around and mess with Diddy), this album
is above average in every sense of the word, and anyone who has heard can co-sign me on that. Finding it in a store may be a little hard, but trust me it's worth having in your collection. Although (lets be real) you can probably find a download link somewhere haha. Check out a few tracks below. And look on the Zune Mareketplace...who you think is the number 1 listener for Mic Geronimo.
Shawn Chrystopher – The Audition (FreEP)
@ShawnChrys drops this FreEP for us. Now let say something real quick, I been following Shawn Chrystopher since Waxx posted I wear Glasses Vol. 1 on illRoots. And while he was a DOPE rapper, I felt like he was missing that edge. Like that shit that makes your music UNDENIABLY good. You get what I'm saying? Even though I often reflect on one of his bars at least once a day. ("I'm sick of being a hero, you get pats on the back but your bank account is zero"). Now I downloaded this EP and this here has this edge that i felt like his other projects were missing. So download this shit, and I dont got to tell you to enjoy it because I know you will. This isn't one of those projects where after you download it your like "I want my 70MB back" and send it to the trash can. Hahah. You WILL like this jawn, peep it. (And, Shawn Chrys, if you reading this, when the hard copies mailing out?)

GemStones - My Hood
YO this track is CRAZY. I mean CRAZY. Ever since I heard Gemstones perform this track live, I wanted the CDQ. I know Gemstones tends to get overlooked because of Lupe (and that's to be expected because well...it's Lupe). GemStones can hold his own on any track, with any rapper though in my honest opinion. And its not just "rappitty-rap-rap I'm better than you, lemme rip this shit to pieces". It's all that AND substance as you will hear in this song. Listen to it, I know you finna enjoy it.

Ok so.. I'm a huge fan of the "Entourage" Series Show on HBO just like the rest of the world lol. I caught on to the show around the 3rd Season and then went back and started at Season 1 to catch myself up. Now comes this new show "How To Make It In America" that I think has the same feel but it's a little, or MUCH rather, more gritty and "about the grind-ish". It's already 6 Episodes in and for some reason I can't stop singing the got damn theme song by Aloe Blacc titled "I Need A Dollar". I figured, "hey, why not throw my 1, 2 on it!" lolDOWNLOAD/STREAM

EarthGang - Kick'n It
About EarthGang:
DOWNLOAD/STREAMATLiens Johnny Venus (left) and E. Hobbes (right) make up the dynamic duo better known to the masses as EarthGang. The two take on various genres of music, fusing hip hop, rock and afro-punk together into their own custom, eclectic sound- but never falling short of spitting pure, attention demanding lyricism. Still rookies to the music scene, the boys only have their debut mixtape The Better Party for show, which released January 2010 along with their “Earth Gang” t-shit brand. The Better Party intro “Booom (EG Rock)” was released for download as a teaser and began to receive internet radio play on blogs and sites based in New York, New Jersey, California, and the UK. Though EarthGang are constantly compared to Outkast, the two try to stay away from the strict branding. The duo finds their inspiration in The Beatles, UGK, Arctic Monkeys, Prince, Nas, B.o.B., Gill Scott Heron, Chester French and more.

Closed Sessions EP Vol. 1
Closed Session's EP Vol 1 has turned into a viral trending topic as the project has been given a co-sign from all of the major tastemakers (that's you!) and the founders of the project (specifically DJ RTC) are now available to speak with anyone interested in picking their brain about the project, how it came about and how the participants were selected and give an insight on the selection process for the upcoming Vol 2 EP.
The Closed Sessions EP Vol. 1 contains 14 tracks, and 9 original songs, all created at SoundScape Recordings in Chicago, IL. The songs were created under a simple idea, take talented artists, put them in a studio with other talented artists and producers, give them access to high quality production, and just get out of their way as they do what they do: create great music

Hollywood F.L.O.S.S: Inside The Mind Interview
So this is an interview I’ve been wanting to do for a while now. I’m a huge fan of Hollywood Floss and he reached out to me for an interview which I thought was pretty cool. And guess what? The questions are different this time! He wanted different questions and he got them. But enough about that.
More about Hollywood Floss.
Hollywood Floss is a rapper out of Houston and, honestly, if you haven’t heard of him you’re sleeping under a rock. He’s produced Art Or Fiscal Intelligence and The Xperiments! which was hosted by myself and The Hip Hop Effect. He is preparing for his LP release House Of Dreams and a shot at SXSW (which Megatron might be appearing at… not sure just yet). So if you’re not hip to Hollywood Floss, you should get his music at his Bandcamp page and get familiar REAL quick. So… without further a do… Hollywood Floss, you have the floor.

M1 Platoon - DMV Rock (Prod. 9th Wonder)
About M1 Platoon:
A love jones for hip-hop is all it took to bring these "newtypes" together- Chopps, Vaughn Garcia, Scoopay, and Sean Diesel as M1 Platoon. Though they have been making their trademark as unorthodox, way out the box rappers in Washington, D.C. all throughout high school, it wasn't until their move to pursue higher learning in NC where things took a better turn with results. M1 moved down south to N.C. Central University where they met Grammy Award winning producer and former NCCU Hip Hop Initiative instructor, 9th Wonder. The platoon quickly took to "uncle 9th" as their mentor, mastering their craft in music production (Vaughn Garcia) and crisp lyricism. During their time in NC, M1 released their debut mixtape titled M1 Invasion, which was followed by two other releases from the We Not Them series, Part 1 & 2. M1 has also had the pleasure of opening up and sharing the stage with: Little Brother, 9th Wonder, Murs, Evidence (Dilated Peoples), Sean Price (Heltah Skeltah) Jean Grae, Chaundon, Skyzoo, Torae, Jozeemo, Median, L.E.G.A.C.Y. and Kooley High. Currently, M1 is currently wrapping up material for their two upcoming releases, Illest In America- which will consist all original content, and Rippin' They Sh*t- which will consist of freestyles over industry beats.
