The Cosmic Souls Collective

Took me a minute to post this track because it looks like this is the only picture of this nigga on the entire internet lmao. Jansport J hit me with this in my email. This is what he had to say:

Waddup World

Here’s the 2nd single from West Covina, CA emcee Poetik Force, produced by yours truly. I’ll also link you to the first single as well just in case you missed it. To refresh your memory, he’s the kid who dropped the first verse on “That Spliff” from our High Power Moves album. His project “Mary Jane LP” is near completion, and sounding pretty damn dope. I’m gonna stop talkin. Here’s the music:

So I get these requests ALL the time; you know the kind. The kind that I figured a Premo or a Madlib or 9th Wonder would get: “…where you do you get your samples from? Can you hook me up with some dope samples…” I feel like sometimes, much of the art form of making beats is not even in the sample. It’s in the pursuit of something else. You ultimately end up either spending a few dollars on vinyl or you download something just to experience it at face value. You end up with something special. Well that’s the fairy tale take of it. Of course you could always (before you ask) try to find something that you can make totally yours. It has no influence, no bias point of views, and won’t make you feel obligated to do anything other than enjoy the experience of real, soulful music. And even with a point of view as strong as that, I also feel that somethings are so good… they are worth sharing. Some people are going to hear what I hear; other will dismiss the mix as something used to fill up blog space. I feel like what you are about to embark on is beautiful; simply put. Whether you just listen to it while cleaning the crib, or try to use it in place of a very old and very scratched “baby making music” CD, or whether you rip the sound waves into seventy-five samples chopped… you will enjoy what Fly is Made. Check for it at the jump.

Here’s a joint Supasti- err Kam Moye recently dropped to wrap up the summer.  It’s called Blue Skies and was produced by Detroit producer Apollo Brown. Kam rhymes about the problems many couples go through even when others think they are ‘perfect for each other’, something many of us can relate to. Peep the track below and be on the lookout for his album, Splitting Image, that drops on October 27th.

Everyone knows Madlib right? If you aren’t familiar with Madlib then you have a problem, and I’m not going to give a bio on Madlib because you should ALL already know him.  Anyways… One of my favorite things about Madlib as a producer is his versatility with his music. He doesn’t just stick to making “hip-hop” beats.  As you should know, Madlib has many aliases, which leads me to why I’m making this post.  The Last Electro-Acoustic Space Jazz & Percussion Ensemble is a side project Madlib does, which is a jazz fusion piece arranged and produced by him. Over the summer he dropped what was called, Summer Suite. Now it’s that time of the year for, Fall Suite. The Fall Suite came out today on Stones Throw, and is 38 minutes long. I will include a 5 minute excerpt of the Fall Suite. Enjoy.
