Song of the Day: Roddy Rod - Troubles Lurkin Low (Hip Hop)

5/7/2014

Happy Wednesday! Here's your middle-of-the-week jam. :D It's from Rod Bridges' 2007 album, "Blunt Park Sessions." It's one of my favorite albums. I listen to it constantly and it's like new, every time. So fresh! Oh and I had thought that Bridges' hadn't released anything new since the Oakwood Grain album of 2011/2012, but it looks like he released two singles in 2013 and 2014 that are worth checking out on Bandcamp! For a short bio about Bridges and additional tracks, check out this previous blog post.

Another classic! This track appears as B1 on Duval Clear's 2000 LP entitled, "Acapellas." You might even recognize it. It's an iconic tune! If this is your first time hearing Masta Ace, though, get ready!

Duval Clear of Brooklyn, New York released his debut album, "Take A Look Around" in 1990 along with several singles and EPs. He was quite busy that year and Clear continued to be produce music for another two decades. His discography is a treasure trove of awesomeness! :D His latest album is called "MA_DOOM: Son Of Yvonne" (2012). Track 3 is one of my favorites. So chill! Check it out below!

Make sure you check out Masta Ace on Facebook! He's got a Youtube Channel, too! Don't go too far, because there's a lot more hip hop where this came from! I always save the best for last! :D Enjoy!

Song of the Day: Kwest - Disnexone (Hip Hop)

Aww yeah <3 Starting off this week of hip hop with a fantastic tune from Kwest's debut and only album to date, "This Is My First Album" (1996). I know. Awesome name, right? Haha :D This album is so good!

For many, this rapper from Queens, New York requires no introduction. Rick Rubin tore it up in the early to mid 90's with his songs that tell vivid stories and his talent for battle rhymes. In addition to his album, Rubin released several singles and a couple EPs from 1993 to 1996. He did a collaborative single with Gauge and Eddie Broke in 2002 called "718" which is really, really good. Things kind of drop off after that. Five years later, Rubin put out a compilation called "These Are My Unreleased Recordings," but as far as I know, he hasn't released any other songs since 2007. So, enjoy this classic!
