Man Bites Blog Podcast Ep: 10

Download new episode of the Radio Show!

Its all about hip hop. Thugged-out crunked-up boom bap from some of hip hops most progressive artists like Busdriver, Dj Quik & Kurupt. Beats will be big, you have my word on that. Rhymes will be tight, and production will be ill. So kick back and nod your f*cking head! BUT this being MBBP there's a few oddities thrown into the mix, just in case you thought it weren't gonna be eclectic. Download it here.

DJ Quik & Kurupt - 9x's Outta 10

Prepare to listen to a slice of hip hop newness - Its fresh for real nigguh! (Can I write that black, is that allowed?) 1st single off the new DJ Quik & Kurupt record BlaQKout sounds NEW, real new. Who knew? How new... I mean how can it sound so new? Well, it captures that ellusive elixr of the here an now. Like listening to A Millie for the first time. Or when Timbaland had Timberlakes ear. 9x's Outta 10 stripped down truncated stomp of a beat is akin to Grindin, even Korupts flow resonates in that same Clipse vein. Dam I'm liking this. The cut up vocal teasing throughout, simple and lush! This is the best hip hop track I've heard in a long time. Just decided. I'm the first to put my hands up and say that I'm no Hip Hop geek. My knowledge is fleeting, I know these guys have been around, but does any of their other stuff sound like this? I need to get the album BlaQKout pronto.

Loops Haunt Promo Mix

Crank up the speakers Glasgee style and bang out this mix from Loops Haunt. He's from the Lucky me stable, that brought us such wonderful thoroughbreads as Hudson Mohawke and Rustie. If like me you were just starting to get a wee bit tired of this glitched up hip hop, this could change your mind. Where as some of the stuff I've heard has got a little wonky, Loops Haunt seems to take things down a more techno route. Beats are millitant and crushing - it's a syncopated assualt to be reckoned with.

Blaqstarr - We Make It Good Mixtape

I completely slept on the last few We Make It Good mixtapes. Check them out over at the Fader/WMIG site. On a sidenote, is it just me or is the name We Make It Good a little ot close to Mad Decent? Just doesnt fly with me, but who gives a shhh when the music is consistently this tight. These are solid mixtapes form musicians that need to be heard. Fader as a magazine runs in direct competition with XLR8R in the States. And they rule the high seas when it comes to their podcast/mixtape output. But WMIG rival them in quality if not in quantity. Its a real shame WMIG arent hosting them through iTunes. Yo Fader crew get up on that!

The latest mix is by Volume 07 is by Crookers... Not my cup of chai. But Volume 06 is by Baltimores finest rapper imo Blaqstarr. It's dope, but not what you'd expect from him. Which makes it even more sick. Download it here.


Blaqstarr - We Make It good Vol.mp3

While on a Blaqstarr tip. As a local to Baltimore, he'd contributed tracks to The Wire in the past. It was only a matter of time untill he did his own take on the Tom Waits theme tune. Well worth a wacth. Ive yet to see the 5th season, is this like the actual theme tune?

Afrikan Boy - Superstar

From Burgaboy to Afrikan Boy of MIA collaboration fame and that big big song Lidl. If you aint heard it yet, you have to, Have I not posted it? Anyway, Afrikan Boy's about to release the mixtape pictured above above, and Superstar is a cut taken from it. Tune!! This self-reflexive opus once again demonstrates Afrikan Boy's sense of humor, its actually all about the hype off the back of the Lidl tune. Whoever produced it is on the pulse, I guess allot of doors have opened up for him so it wouldn't suprise me if its diplo or some shit.
