Prodigy – ‘The Ellsworth Bumpy Johnson’ EP
April 19, 2011
Complex Magazine links up with Prodigy for his first musical release since returning home from the bing. Havoc doesn’t appear anywhere on production end of this joint, but I think that’s a smart move just to keep the Mobb Deep sound different for when that particular album drops. Â The production is largely handled by Sid Roams although Alchemist & King Benny have a track each.

Pusha T – ‘My God’ (Video)
April 18, 2011
‘My God’ is the first video to drop from Pusha T’s mixtape ‘Fear Of God’ that dropped last month. Â The video features a cameo from video vixen & model Dollicia Bryant who’s seen whipping the Lambo while Pusha rides shotgun. Â The mixtape has quite a few bangers that I’ve been playing on the radio show so hopefully Pusha T doesn’t just stop here with the visuals. Â Especially considering he’s gonna drop ‘Fear Of God 2’ on June 21st.

Ethereal – ‘No Saliva Vol. 2’ (Album)
March 28, 2011
Can’t honestly say that I’ve been that familiar with producer Ethereal up until recently when my homegirl Jayda B conducted an interview with him, but I know I’ve heard his work before. Â It’s not a secret he’s worked with new Shady records signee Yelawolf & popular Atlanta rap duo Clan Destined, but I can’t recall ever meeting the brother around Atlanta other than hearing his music. Â The Atlanta based producer has crafted some ill soundscapes not necessarily tailored for the average rap artist to rhyme over. In fact from some quick research I’ve found most of his projects appear to be instrumental compilation projects. His work is mostly comprised of that coolout, downtempo, & sometimes drum & bass vibe that I generally like to listen to on occasion but is not limited to any one direction. I was surprised to see Ethereal is also performing at the Kendrick Lamar show at Masquerade on Thursday night so I’m interested in seeing what he puts together. I’ve listed a few tracks I’m feeling but the download link to the free album project in association with Greedmont Park is below. Ethereal has a new album coming out called ‘Abstractica’ in June to be released on Yelawolf’s ‘Slumerican’ label.

Keon Supreme – ‘Just Cause’ (Album)
March 20, 2011
Keon Supreme is a visual hip hop artist from Claremont California who just dropped his second full-length project entitled ‘Just Cause’. I took the time to give it a listen over the weekend & thought it sounded pretty good from the concept, the storytelling, & the most importantly the music itself. The album plays out like the day in the life of an average guy with dreams & aspirations to move beyond the regular 9 to 5 to pursue his passion. The overall theme is ‘Love’ as it pertains to the love of family, friends, a girlfriend, & most importantly loving what you do. Key tracks include ‘Lobster Talk’, ‘Roll It Up’, ‘Pretty Lady’, & my favorite from this project ‘Joyride’ that I posted below, but you’ll really appreciate the concept when you listen to how the project flows from beginning to end. It’s a free album so you can download the entire project from the link provided & should you want an hard copy of the project Keon Supreme does have a pay link on his bandcamp page. Check out his EPK here

DJ Green Lantern: Master Class (A Remix-perience) Mixtape
March 18, 2011
Green Lantern is known for putting together some creative mixtapes over the years. The key ingredients tend to be great song selection, arrangements, & most importantly the original remixes he puts together himself. DJ Green Lantern is a new Atlanta resident & has been on Atlanta’s V-103 on the airwaves. I checked him out on the first few times of his debut  after he mentioned it on twitter.  I didn’t enjoy his debut on Atlanta radio & I’m assuming he was forced to play some of the wack stuff we’re already used to here. I had to turn it off after a few minutes of listening. That’s commercial radio for you though. Good thing Green Lantern still does creative mixtapes because I’d rather ride out to his creative works instead of listening to him play music on commercial radio that most of us don’t normally f*ck with anyway.

Embassy Music Board – The 400 Lounge (Mixtape)
March 16, 2011
Embassy Music Board has been doing their thing in Atlanta for a minute & taking their time to put out the right records at just the right time. The Atlanta natives with caribbean influences/backgrounds have been able to weave in & out of a variety of sounds rather than relying on the popular 808 beat tracks that most new southern rap artists tend to gravitate towards in search of immediate mainstream acceptance. The last time the EMB brothas appeared on my radio show they stressed the importance of the right timing & pushing the correct records. I had been playing the ‘Dead Music’ track on the show but they didn’t just randomly give away too much on the internet beyond that song before the entire project was ready. Evidently the new project is poised to be served up for the fans with the help of Don Cannon on this DJ version of the new mixtape in conjunction with DJBooth.net. Tracklisting under the hood……..Welcome to the 400 Lounge…..
