Oddisee – “No Sugar No Cream”
April 14, 2016
This instrumental (“No Sugar No Cream”) is the first strong, smooth sip of “The Odd Tape” served up by Oddisee. Due out May 13, 2016, but if you want to lock in your fresh copy today, ain’t nothing to it but to do it… um… click it… the link below that is.
(Okay. Maybe I got Saturday cartoons on the brain. But is Oddisee peppering in ‘Yugioh’Â quick snips in this? ‘Cause that’s what it sounds like. Wild!)
Robert Glasper – “Violets” feat. Phonte (Prod. By 9th Wonder)
April 14, 2016
Robert Glasper delivers the loveliest “Violets” (produced by 9th Wonder); off his tribute album released in commemoration of the late great Miles Davis’ upcoming birthday.
The album blends a diverse group of master takes and outtakes from across Miles’ incredible tenure with Columbia Records (1955-1985) with original reinterpretations of songs by Davis. From the obvious (riffs and passages within the catalog) to the obscure (samples of Miles’ in-studio instructions spoken after false starts), Glasper has built something unique but still unquestionably Miles.
The drop date for “Everything’s Beautiful” is May 27, 2016. But you can pre-order that today… after you listen to Tiggalo flow over this Wonder–Glasper musical collabo.

J Dilla – “Gangsta Boogie” feat. Snoop Dogg x Kokane
April 13, 2016
Playing this, it sounds just like you’d expect “Gangsta Boogie” to sound. Snoop & Kokane do the right things lacing this special J Dilla track. And make no mistake, all of the late great Dilla’s tracks are special. But this one, just that much more so because it is off “The Diary.”
The Estate of James Yancey has revived J Dilla’s longstanding company PayJay as a functioning imprint to release Dilla’s long lost vocal album, “The Diary” on April 15th, in conjunction with Mass Appeal Records. Initially intended for release in 2002, “The Diary” is the final batch of unissued material that Dilla had assembled for release during his lifetime.
