"The new beat tape from Los Angeles-based producer Dert. TALK STRANGE features 17 tracks sampling original tunes and remixes by the legendary Icelandic singer Bjork. Just like the Dert Floyd: Westside of the Moon project, TALK STRANGE takes artist-themed beat tapes to another level providing amazing instrumentals to practice your rhymes over or just sit back and enjoy.
Future 2009 releases from Dert include: the synth-driven CMYK EP this spring and DOWNTOWN HEADNOD SUITE, an all piano beat album featuring Blue Note recording artist Robert Glasper."
I am lovin every single track on here! My personal favorite is Track 11 - Dark Currents. Check it out and enjoy!!!!!!
Re-up to Dert's West Side Of The Moon! If you dont already have it check it out.
Capital D of All Natural fame and member of the Molemen collective. I should not have to say more, I think I've covered All Natural and Molemen enough on here as it is. If you dig Molemen beats, then this is yet another one for your collection. (By the way: I know, this is not an actual movie. So don't try to peep it in your video player. ;)

note: other versions of this floating around have 12 tracks, but that's cos the last two are the same. and mine is the only one with titles to the otherwise nameless tracks.
Almost exactly one year ago, after a two year hiatus, J-Live followed his critically acclaimed full length “The Hear After” with a sneak attack in the form of the 6 song EP “Reveal The Secret”, just before his very latest "Then What Happened?" was to drop.
“I want this to feel like it came outa nowhere. I want the people that have it to feel special, you know. Let them spread the word that I’m back. Pass it on before the album drops. You know… let the cat out the bag, reveal the secret.”
Its no secret that J has worked with his fair share of elite producers in the past. And although this fall’s mini project is just a precursor, it is no different. Reveal the Secret features production by DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Spinna, Da Beatminerz, Marco Polo and Oddisee.

All producer's hail from Japan... Japan is slowly rising as a Musical production force in my book. Especially after hearing this Woodblue shit. Both these discs are on the more ambient bangin vibe.. And finally, all praise go to Musical Schizophrenia for turning me onto this shit... Go over there and give him some props. But listen to this shit while you do.
The Woodblue albums are INSANE, really hot shit on there. Don't give up on a Track because you don't like the first minute, almost all of the Woodblue tracks flip about halfway through into a completely different jam. And it is usually better than the first half... I can't say which album I like better, so get them both. Woodblue = DOPE.
Next we have a disc from Opgave... Don't really know too much besides that he used to be from Japan, but now resides in LA. Someone requested this in the C-Box, so I tracked it down. It's a short 6 tracks, but there is some good stuff.
Next up is Kenmochi Hidefumi. Got this from the C-Box because homeboy said he was like Nujabes. It's good, but definitely not up to Nujabes standards. It's not nearly hip hop enough. It's a good album, some cool guitar and shit. Some tracks just aren't my thing though, Check it out and let me know what y'all think. The title track "Falliccia" is the best I'd say...
And finally, the last album has absolutely nothing to do with Japan. Haha, I just came across this over @ HHB via Deap, and I've been a fan of Anomaly for a while now and thought I had all of his shit. This album was new to me... It is almost 10 years old, so the sound is a little different, but it is pretty dope. REALLY, really dark jams with some hot drums, this would have been more appropriate around Halloween time. But check it out, I think alot of y'all will be feelin this. RowanB? Espionage? I think you'll dig it...
Finally, last but not least, A new track from Emancipator... He is workin on a new album currently, and just finished up a tour of Japan. So, I figured this was Legit to add to the post. I CANNOT WAIT to hear some more new shit from this kid. Check It:
Alright... That's about it. Some more crack for all you fiends. Definitely zone out on that Woodblue shit, I have. And keep a lookout getting closer to christmas, I've got some audible presents for all of you mahfuckas. The E-Tree will be filled come Christmas time, and it's definitely going to have an album that will rival all of the rest from 2008. So BE READY! Peace...

Word Fam. Back up in it. Gonna keep this short & sweet so let's get started: RowanB made a request for the MF Grimm & Kool G Rap freestyle from the Stretch & Bobbito 5 Year Anniversary show. It is so insane everybody needs to hear it. I am very happy I came across the track on Stretch's Blog, Grimm is easily on my top 5, I love his flow and his true skills are really displayed on this track. He basically takes over, G Rap bows out about halfway through and lets Grimm annihilate the mic. For real, one of the best Freestyles EVER. And afterwards I included the end of the show, where they take phone calls and basically diss on everybody that calls. It is fucking hilarious. One fool calls in and drops some pretty hot rhymes, he gets props, but the rest of the callers get their asses handed to 'em... I got 'em up on Rapid & Zshare, so those of you with working Zshare's can preview the tracks, otherwise get 'em from Rapid. Check them both out, it's some historic shit coming from a historic time.
So, like I was saying: I'm listening to A LOT of DJ Frane lately, and this his latest album. Really good shit here, Tons of samples and just great music. Flows through many genres, but remaining Hip Hop. This is a really dope album, put it on when you're just chillin around the house blazin. Really good stoned headphone music... You can pick up his other projects at Acapella Archives. Go get 'em if you like this disc...
Here we have Beatmakin Troopa's new release. For those of you that have been coming here for awhile and snagged Troopa's other releases, you'll know what's up. Those of you new to Beatmakin Troopa can expect sounds similar to Blockhead & 40 Winks. This disc is dope, it flows like a Day, starts out slow & sunny, gets more busy & layered through the middle of the album, then the last few tracks are perfect for night & driving at dark. I highly recommend the final track, "Last Breath" Check it out.
Now this Aether album, and the following Nozebleed one I came across over @ HHB, via this dude "Sniper" who posted both of them. He's been posting some good stuff. BUT, these two albums are both REALLY good. I'm listening to Aether right now, and have been since last night when I got it. Check that one out first, the Aether disc, it is bangin and really diverse. I guess he is out of San Antonio?!?! I don't know but Texas has got some ILL producer's... Don't pass these up, get 'em...
Aether - Artifacts [link removed at artist's request...check this link for Aether downloads & remixes. -djesp]
And here we have a disc from one half of that Asian producer duo, "Eternal Morning". This is from Pe2ny, who has some other releases also, but I dug this one the most. Real similar to Nujabes & Nomak, that classic Asian Hip Hop sound. More orchestrated/layered tracks. Not too many loops found here. Check this disc out if you liked the Eternal Morning release from my previous post...
And finally, going to finish things off with some new stuff from Yppah... I pulled these 6 tracks from his Myspace, so the quality isn't superb or anything, but all the tracks are really dope. I really liked his first album, and by the sound of these tracks I'm getting more excited for his next solo release... Don't know how many of you saw that movie "21" about the MIT card-counting kids, anyway the track "Again with the Subtitles" from his first album was featured in that movie. Pretty dope exposure. Anyway, enjoy these tracks...
Alright, I'm out... Comment, whatever. Every album in this post is bangin so get 'em all. But put that Aether at the top of the list, I'd say it is the Gem out of the bunch. Enjoy the beats fam, and get excited for the end of the month, I've got a special drop coming around Xmas. PEACE.
www.myspace.com/beatzbystevo Show Your Support. "I'd consider myself a friend/fan/listener of Stevo for awhile now, and as these guys develop, more and more, I personally feel Stevo & Elaquent are equal to, if not better then Flying Lotus/Gaslamp/Daddy Kev and alot of these other producers who get massive amounts of praise in the industry. Then again, assholes are like opinions, everyone has one. So who cares what I think, you shouldn't.
I have not been able to stop listening to Kenlo's music since The Ape dropped the Noir joint in the c-box. This dude is dope! Below are links to all three of his albums. I suggest to start off listening to Noir, followed by Bleu(Both are full of bangers). The Mauve album is very experimental in terms of its vibe and may not be for everyone.
suggestion #1.USE the search engine at the top left hand side of the blogspot to SEARCH for isntrumentals/beat maker, also check Acapellarchives.blogspot secondly. suggestion #2.make an image file to show track list'/artists
lastly. below a 'poll/questionnaire'. answer any way you'd like in the comment section.
what can be done to make this site better? or keep this site good? also, what should be stopped from being done?(things like putting the artists name in text of a post(that is a sure way to get a link deleted for some artists/labels) ...
SO all in all... the comment section of this post, WILL be a SUGGESTION BOX, give reasoning... thanks.

Here's a vinyl rip of the "Dead Presidents" instrumental including the Nas sample. Ski's masterpiece.
Speaking of really shitty music, here's some for you to enjoy. Please feel free to consider this a beat tape so I can finally get some comments on a post.
This was posted in the c-box a long, long, long time ago but no one ever really paid attention to it besides me. Really nice compilation of jazzy hip-hop.

** ALL LINKS FIXED ** Let me know if there are still problems...
** I've noticed a lot of semi-negative discussion going on in the C-Box lately, regarding Contributor's/Posts. I think all this shit needs to stop. Who cares about what people decide to post, who cares about Beat-Tapes, who cares about the occasional Non-Instrumental album, who cares about Hype for other sites. Every post brings new & different flavor to the Blog, and I always enjoy checking out what the other contributor's are into. Sometimes the Beats will work for you, sometimes they won't. But it is pointless to just talk shit and be purely negative about a post. I'm all for discussion, I think we need more of it, but hating on someone for going out of their way to spend time & work on a post for the site, is just plain pointless. And doesn't really get us too excited about continuing to post here... We're all doing it for the love of the music, not for the love of the people downloading it. We just hope you'll enjoy some of shit that we enjoy, maybe you do and maybe you don't. Let's just listen and discuss, instead of straight out shit-talking on the work that we're puttin in. I don't know, that's how I feel. Sorry about the rant, I just feel this spot could be more positive. Onto the Beats, I've tried to make this post mainly shit that you can't find elsewhere (besides the stolen links of course, haha) and I tried to have something for everybody. I hope that you'll enjoy some of them: **
First off, I've been sleeping HEAVILY on this post, I've been adding to it periodically over the last 2 months. But I think I got everything in here that I want to get to you. Let me just say that 90% of these albums were pulled from other various Blogs, the bulk of this post is work put in by others. Most of these are links stolen from Acapella Archives, all thanks going to Zakeus for them. Everybody should go over there and say Thanks to Zak, he continues to drop lots of obscure instrumental shit, and alot of the following albums were some of my favorites found on Acapella Archives...
Alright. First, I'm gonna spread a little hype on a DJ/Producer holdin it down up in Vancouver BC, "The Phonograff". I got a disc of his from a friend and it had a whole bunch of bangin production on it, so I kept up with him, and for the last little while he's been doing a whole bunch of DOPE collaborations with this insane Violinist "Kytami". Together they form the team, "Dream Sequence", and this track below is a good taste of their sound. Check it out, it's a CRAZY dope jam... Also, the video afterwards is a good display of how they both get down, opening for Lady Sovereign at The Commdore in Vancouver. Definitely check that.
Phonograff & Kytami - "Dream Sequence"
And here we got some MORE goods from Chris Stolz AKA Tired Eyes. Like I said a while back, he did a whole bunch of really good production for a Ski Film that came out last year entitled "Idea". So, first off I got the soundtrack for that movie, it has a couple tracks with vocals, but they won't disappoint. After that, I got pretty much the rest of my Tired Eyes collection in the "Full Collection", 28 Bangin Beats that you do not want to pass up. If you felt any of his other stuff, get both of these because it's pretty much the bulk of his music. And it is all REALLY, Really good. Alright...
** NEW, WORKING RAPIDSHARE LINKS ** Let me know if y'all still have problems...
** Links Removed At Artist' Request **
Next up we got the Instrumentals from Reanimator & Prolyphic's album "The Ugly Truth". If you heard the album, or if you picked up Reanimator's previous instrumental release, then you'll know how dope these tracks are gonna be. The advantage about getting these Instrumentals is that it includes the track "Salt" which was not on the Vocal Edition. It was only available on the 12" Single for the album, and is EASILY the hottest beat on this album. Definitely one of my favorite beats that I've heard in the last little while, and I still have it on Heavy repeat. DO NOT pass it up, it's the track below, so you all should get it playing right now while you go through the rest of the post. Do It...
Next up, we have a new EP from the Hungarian Producer Phox. This was dropped in the C-Box by somebody who has consistently dropped dope, mainly Hungarian Links. So Thanks alot to whoever... This EP is HOT though, 3 tracks that are all really dope. If you liked any of his past work, pick this up because he is learning to fine-tune his skill, you can tell with these tracks. I'm feeling "The Joker Inside Me" the most, really good for a late-night drive.
Some more BSBD shit here. The 2nd Installment to their "Gifts In Jail" Podcast series. Not too much to say here, it's just some really good laid-back type shit. Good for driving on a road trip. The Gifts In Jail Vol.1 was chopped up, this is just 1 Long Continuous Track, thought y'all might want to know ahead of time. It's dope as 1 track, I left it that way because it flows real well as one long jam, or you can chop it up if you want. Check it out...
And here we have the new Instrumental release from Alias, which is really good by the way... The usual Alias sound, a little less glitchy and more melodic than his previous releases, I would compare this to "Lillian" the most, it's definitely good stuff. And then below there is an EP of tracks that didn't make it to the full "Resurgam" album. I'm not sure why, because I actually prefer some of the tracks on the EP over some on the main album... Anyway, both are good.
Next up we got some new shit from Mr. Cooper. This disc is on a super dark/ambient vibe, really different than his first release. Definitely something to pop in and listen to front 2 back when it gets late. It flows really well from beginning to end, and the whole album works as one piece. The album has a really good vibe for this dark & grey time of year. I recommend it...
Think I found this over at Bossplayer's blog. It's a good disc, comparable to Nomak for sure. It's on that Japanese Orchestra type sound, similar to Nujabes a bit, but a lot more like Nomak. I wouldn't really consider the album "Hip Hop" but all the jams are pretty dope. Each track definitely create's an audible "Landscape" so the album title works. Check it out if you like Nomak.
Now, this disc is DOPE. Came across this over at Acapella Archives, thanks to Zakeus once again. He has a couple other DJ Marlin discs over there too, but this one is definitely the dopest. Lots of ill sounds on here, some dope guitar shit, a few really bangin Reggae style jams that are really original and make the album stand out, tons of dope samples all the way through. I highly recommend this disc, don't pass it up...
Now, this is an album that I know absolutely nothing about. Dropped in the C-Box, I decided to check it out, and it is Super Hot, for sure... I guess "Eternal Morning" consists of two asian producers: Tablo & Pe2ny. I'll quote Last.fm regarding the album: "Soundtrack To A Lost Film is the first album of its kind. Each of the songs in the album is conceived around an imaginary film and contains raw, unfamiliar sounds marked by irregular rhythm and jarring noise". Not too sure about "Irregular rhythm and jarring noise" because every track is REALLY dope and unique, some laid-back and some bangin. Definitely similar to Nujabes for sure, so if you like them, get this disc. I recommend highly, it doesn't disappoint.
Came across this over at HHB. Downloaded it because the cover was crazy, and I expected to hear some Necro style shit. It is sort of on the Necro tip, definitely sounds similar, but this disc is actually pretty fuckin bangin! More well rounded and versatile than your average Necro Instrumentals, a pretty good medley of sounds found on here. Check it out...
Don't know that much about Aeon Grey, but I liked this disc... Maybe you will too. Drop some info in the comments about this dude, because I don't know shit.
This disc is pretty dope. 2Tall is on the same label as Dday One, so if you liked Heavy Migration or any of the other shit from Dday One, then you will probably like this. Some Laid-Back stuff on here.
Thought I'd put this last because it is mainly just a Reggae/Dub style Instrumental album. I Fuckin Love reggae, and with Hip Hop being rooted from Reggae, I'm surprised that Reggae isn't used more in Hip Hop, via Samples & Artists etc... Da Beatminerz have dropped some ridiculously ILL Instrumental Reggae Bangers using classic Reggae Samples, and I'm really surprised it doesn't happen more often. So, get on it producers, let's hear some Reggae Beats people!
Alright, another Massive post has come to a close... I hope that EVERYBODY will find something that they like within this post, I tried to keep it well-rounded with this one. COMMENT if you feel the urge, I would appreciate it and I like to hear what people have to say. Keep an eye out in the near future, I've got some REALLY DOPE EXCLUSIVE shit coming up in the next few weeks/months for y'all. Definitely exclusive... Alright, have a good weekend people, enjoy the beats, and as a favor to me & the other contributor's: Let's try to keep it more positive around here, and let's try to discuss the beats more, as opposed to just talking shit. I think everybody would enjoy it more around here with a more positive vibe. Thanks, PEACE. - nawledge
