Pete Rock – ‘One,Two, A Few More’

“I’m gearing up for the release of “Petestrumentals 2” with Mello Music Group. The first single “One, Two, A Few More” is actually a beat I made in 1995 and just sat on for years for the right moment. Now, I get a chance to release this and more new & unreleased music never heard by my fans with Mello. This instrumental LP will inspire the masses in anything you are doing. Just apply P2 to it and get on the road to success.”Pete Rock

yU – “Homicide” (Prod. By Nottz)

DSCF3043This joint is a straight up banger! Been playing it on my radio show ever since it dropped. He’s 1/2 of the 1978ers, 1/3 of the critically acclaimed group Diamond District, D.C. lyricist “yU” links up with arguably one of Virginia’s illest producer Nottz! Whenever I see Nottz’ name on something I know he’s going to be killin’ it with the boom-blappers! yU does the damn thing with the appropriate subject matter & A+ lyricism to match the track as well. This joint is straight MURDA! But in a good way. Be on the lookout for Mellow Music Group’s upcoming compilation that this song appears on called “Persona” due March 10th. If you missed the Oddisee & Phonte collaboration called ‘Requiem’ we posted a few days ago, it will be on that same MMG compilation due March 10th as well.

Apollo Brown x O.C. – “The Biggest Loser”

Detroit producer Apollo Brown & Brooklyn emcee Omar Credle, better known to the world as O.C., dropped one of the best independent hip hop albums this year with “Trophies” in my opinion. I’ve been running a number of tracks from the album that’s now available on itunes through my radio show but their label Mellow Music Group just let loose this pretty dope gem called The Biggest Loser’ that didn’t make the album probably due to some tricky legal issues with the Pat Benatar sample that’s used. I can’t wait to spin this joint on the Beatz & Lyrics Show as well this Saturday night….

New Music: Apollo Brown x O.C. – “People’s Champ”

Woooooooooooo! This sh*t bangs!!! Detroit to Brooklyn connect as ill producer Apollo Brown provides the soundscape for O.C. to get busy over the latest leak from their new album “Trophies” thats available now on itunes. Listen to the whole album under the hood & go cop that like asap!

New Music: Apollo Brown x O.C. – “Prove Me Wrong”

I was in the car listening to DJ Premier’s radio show on Sirius XM radio when he debuted this new joint “Prove Me Wrong” from the upcoming collaborative album by Detroit producer Apollo Brown & Brooklyn lyrical veteran O.C. This dope track fits O.C.’s vocals perfectly so I’m definitely looking forward to the upcoming “Trophies” project when the album drops April 24th on Mellow Music Group.  For now those of you that want to get your itunes pre-order on check out the link below….

Boog Brown has released her first ever vinyl 7″ as part of Mello Music’s new monthly series. The record features 2 songs produced by Georgia Anne Muldrow. The first “My Love Remix” was featured on Boog’s “Brown Study Remixes” album, but the B-Side is a previously unreleased track that Georgia laid the soundscape for under the title “Baby Girl”. The 7″ vinyl series is limited to just 300 copies of each edition! To give listeners a taste, Boog & MMG are giving away for free the B-Side track “Baby Girl” along with a second version of “Baby Girl” – both produced by Georgia Anne Muldrow.

yU – “If U Down”

Damn it was less than a week ago when D.C. producer & emcee yU dropped “A Garbage Beattape” of instrumentals that was far from basura, but the brother just blessed the real heads with the first single to his upcoming album “The Earn” which is due to drop on Mellow Music Group on December 13th.  This is the second solo album from the D.C. native following his debut album “Before Taxes”. Like we said before in a previous post, yU is an ill emcee & underrated producer as a soloist outside of his group Diamond District, but this time he enlists his homie SlimKat78 on the production duties.  Peep out the banger below…

Daily Bread (Apollo Brown & Hassaan Mackey) – “The Trenches” featuring Sean Born

Another BANGER from the duo Daily Bread from Mellow Music Group. All of the tracks they have been dropping are ridiculous!! Get this Album.

Oddisee – The Blooming (Video)


Check the press release below about how this joint came together. Dope stuff…..
“Belgium’s ZBS Studio reached out to Mello Muisc Group about permission to do a video for Oddisee’s “The Blooming”. MMG of course was honored to have them interpret the song and apply their vision to the track. The resulting marriage of visual storytelling & instrumental perfection is a narrative work that tells the story of time’s passage in the life of a boy. The video was directed, shot, & edited by Tomasz Cibulla and Wojciech Drożdż of ZBS Studios in Belgium.
