Juan Deuce – “Krill Pill” (Video)

#FreeShabazz2:

In February, Ricky Shabazz and the Boom Bap Boys will be releasing their second annual mixtape of exclusive tracks from some of your favorite underground hip-hop acts. This time around, the tape is sponsored by 2dopeboyz and will be released digitally and physically for free. Tracklist/Artwork/Release Date will be announced soon but in the meantime, enjoy the first of many videos we will be putting out leading up to the release.

Additionally, this marks the very first in “Ricky’s Wontime” series in conjunction with Three/21 Media. The idea of the series is to achieve a thought provoking and entertaining one-shot music video. There are no restrictions, as long as the entire thing has no cuts and lasts the entirety of the song. Subscribe to Three/21 Media’s YouTube to follow the series in full.youtube.com/watch?v=PAFF-SyDzvg

Please watch, post, share, and enjoy.

...That's it for today. I'll try to bring you some more new old news in between having arguments with people about their objections to my continuing to rock an Ochocinco Patriots jersey and trying all the different blends of George Dickel. Paws.

Love you all,

Ess Dee.

FALSIDE: "Snare Conditioning" Available Now.

PDP's Falside gets up in your summer-beat-tape-holes (I'm bad at sex) with Snare Conditioning. Due to its nostalgia-demanding sample selection and laid-back nature, this is probably my favorite of his seasonal installments yet. PROLLY. Props to the kid.

Producer Falside links up with ProducersIknow.com to bring you his newest instrumental installment, Snare Conditioning. Best known for providing beats to a slew of hip hop’s veteran luminaries and eager new-comers alike, Falside holds the boom bap tradition tight with this latest beat tape. Please download, listen, share, and enjoy!

Video preview, directed by the always-bananas Nicolas Heller:

METERMAIDS: Rooftop Shake.

My mens and them Metermaids have been great friends to SD & PDP over the years. Since (now SFR-labelmate) Prolyphic introduced us about 4 years ago, we've rocked together in each of our hometowns, slept on each others floors, and made music together that will reach your ears sooner or later. Most importantly, we've laughed at all the same things, all the right things, and ate some lovely-ass pizza.

And now worlds collide: Metermaids have signed a deal with Strange Famous Records (where I spend my days under the title of 'Label Manager'). You should buy their new record, cuz its dope dope dope. Three times dope.

Metermaids’ SFR debut “Rooftop Shake” drops Sept 6! Pre-Order & FREE MP3 Available Now!

METERMAIDS, a Brooklyn-based duo consisting of emcees Sentence and Swell, often refer to themselves as “the Bad News Bears of hip-hop.” However, after teaming up with the X-Ecutioners DJ Rob Swift, receiving production from Grammy Award Winner 9th WONDER, and pulling in vocal contributions from indie-hop legends SAGE FRANCIS & BUCK 65, their “ROOFTOP SHAKE” LP is set to turn that self-deprecation on its head.

2 exclusive pre-order packages are available now from SFRstore!

Package 1: CD / Instrumental CD / Bonus Items Pack
Package 2: CD / Instrumental CD / T-SHIRT / Bonus Items Pack

Also available: the first SFR Metermaids T-Shirt!

GRAVEYARD SHIFT – Metermaids by Strange Famous Records

The lack of chest thumping bravado on this record is a breath of fresh air in a music scene that’s been drowning in fantasy rap for over a decade. However, don’t confuse the Metermaids’ too-honest-to-fake-it approach with one of ambivalence. At its core, the “Rooftop Shake” LP is an upbeat homage to a more grimy NYC aesthetic sans the overt braggadocio. The main theme of the album deals with two Brooklyn transplants coming to terms with life in the Big Rotten Apple, which is one of beauty as well as grit.

9th Wonder (Jay Z, Little Brother, Murs) provides the soulful sonic backdrop for half of the album and even pokes his head into the vocal booth to make some incredibly rare appearances on the mic. DJ Rob Swift essentially acts an honorary member of Metermaids, accentuating each track by doing what he does best; handling the cuts and adding the stylistic cherry on top. The songs that aren’t produced by 9th are handled by M. Stine, the main contributor to the Metermaids’ previous EP efforts which garnered them over 100,000 downloads as well as the attention of Sage Francis, ultimately leading to their signing on Strange Famous Records. As head of the label, Francis confidently assures the audience that, “If Bill Buckner rapped, it certainly wouldn’t sound like this. They should stop saying stuff like that.”

DROPPING AUGUST 16TH

Presented by Producers I Know

Words from Falside on the subject:

"Peep science, grouches. So I have this new Beat Tape dropping (god knows when) in the next month. It’s fittingly called “Snare Conditioning” (get it?) – and I got this wacky idea to press it on Cassettes! (remember?). As it nears completion, I will pump the promo IV directly in your feed (per usual) with info on ordering. The best part, the beat tape will (still) be free for download! Stay cool!"

ESH & DOX: Invisible.

It's not skinny jean rap. It's skinny guys in jeans rap. It's London and Tokyo, the distance between these things.

Esh the Monolith & Dox Gooden of Poorly Drawn People have released their long-percolating EP Invisible, and we like it a lot. It features raps by Esh, beats by Dox, cuts by DJ Emoh Betta, and appearances by Labeless Illtelligence's Cas Uno and Intrikit. And it's FREE.

Word in the mansion halls is that a limited edition vinyl release will be available in the fall. We'll keep you posted.
