FALSIDE: Snare Conditioning.

PDP's Falside continues his seasonal series of beat tapes next month!

DROPPING AUGUST 16TH

Presented by Producers I Know

DIRECTED BY RICKY SHABAZZ AND THE BOOM BAP BOYS
This beat tape will also be pressed on limited edition cassettes (more info soon)

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.

For now, click here to get your weekend playlist, already all programmed for ya. Tell your friends.

DOX & ESH: Soap Scum.

My friends continue to make excellent music. You should continue to listen.

"Soap Scum" is a joint off the forthcoming Invisible EP: A collaborative effort between Labeless Illtelligence emcee Esh the Monolith & Poorly Drawn People Producer Dox. The "Half an Album" will feature guest appearances from CasUno (Labeless Illtelligence), Intrikit (Enviamentally Fresh Music), KiKi (Her Damn Self) & the turntable wizardry of DJ Emoh Betta (Milled Pavement). Recorded & mixed at The Bridge Sound & Stage in Cambridge.

REASON & DIRTY HANK: The Monty Brogan EP

Reason of Poorly Drawn People and Dirty Hank have been drinking together for years (straight) now, and, as you may be aware, when rappers drink, rappers rap. Sometimes, these raps are best left to in the rearview mirror of the next day's hangover, but at the PDP Compound, sometimes, the best of these drunken brainstorming sessions get committed to (invisible digital) tape and the world is blessed with the product of that inebriation.

The Monty Brogan EP has been a topic of discussion in the halls of the PDP Mansion for some time, and we're pleased to announce that an announcement is forthcoming.

For now, video proof of intent, courtesy of Falside:

2011 Providence Phoenix Best Music Poll!

The 2011 Providence Phoenix Best Music Poll is here!

And... nope, neither Storm Davis nor Poorly Drawn People are nominated.

After our 4th year in a row of pounding our esteemed competition into the ground, our friends at the Phoenix (RI's premiere alternative & arts weekly newspaper) pulled us aside and gently declared that, for the good of the community, we would be declared ineligible in the next poll. It seemed reasonable enough to us.

Well, the next poll is here.

Just because you can't vote for us, that doesn't mean you shouldn't make a last minute ballot out and vote for your choice of our many friends who've been nominated. So, we recommend you head over here and exercise your Democratic muscles by voting for any of the following artists:

BEST HIP HOP
Dirty Hank
Chachi
Jon Hope

BEST SONG
Cas Uno, "Sticks Out Like A Sore Thumb"

BEST ACOUSTIC/SINGER-SONGWRITER
Brian McKenzie

BEST ACT

Feel free to make your own decisions when it comes to the rest of the categories. :)

Thanks to all of you who have voted for us in the past, to all of the artists who we endorse for making music that we dig, and to the staff of the Phoenix for their enduring support.

***All recommended artists were selected by Storm Davis for you consideration. Any issues with his choices can be brought up with him. Leave the rest of PDP alone.

FALSIDE: Fall, Stand The Fuck Up.

As we teased with our last post, PDP's Falside shows no signs of stopping his breakneck pace of productivity lately. Today he drops his FREE fall beat tape, the appropriately titled Fall, Stand The Fuck Up, along with an eye-searing video for the song "Drugs."

A special note to Storm Davis listeners: the track "Throwing Fits" is actually the instrumental to a song called "Sandbox Autocratic" from the forthcoming SD/Falside album, B******** R***** & C****** T******. (Guess the title and we'll send you the mp3 of "Sandbox Autocratic" months before the CD is released.) Enjoy it now before Storm slobbers all over it.

Your FREE download is below. If you enjoy the awesome, you should make that happen.

FALSIDE: Making The Rest Of Us Look Like Assholes.

PDP's Falside continues to make musical moves at a thunderous pace while the rest of us exist as ghosts on the periphery. Makes the organization look good, sure, but if we were a team of team players we'd be rich by now. Or at least flush with hepatitis.

There's even more than we've listed below, but you can check those out at his newly revamped Falside.com. For now, a brief, envious and begrudging look at the latest maneuvers by the young superstar:

FALL, STAND THE FUCK UP: Falside's new beat tape.

Friends, Fans, and Family – First off, I love all of you. Second – I am continuing my seasonal beat tape series with a brand new installment. “Fall, Stand The F*ck Up” will be available on Tuesday, November 16th, 2010.

“Fall, Stand The F*ck Up” will be substantially different from my previous beat tapes. This means less of that boom-bap Spacey and more of that juicy Gary Busey. I have incorporated all of my many styles including Dub Step and progressive, experimental, and vivid synthetic themes.

I am following my formula, and keeping my promise of FREE seasonal beat tapes, so download away, burn for your friends, share, post, and stand out amoungst your peers! Below is the artwork for “Fall, Stand The F*ck Up”. I’ll see you on Tuesday,November 16th.

The beat tape will feature one remix. But I’m giving it to you now!

NEW SINGLES with Rite Hook, PackFM, and RADIx

Boston wordsmith Rite Hook lands another punch with his newest single "King On The Throne" produced by Providence, Rhode Island's heavy hitter, Falside. Intensity has always been an understatement when describing Hook's delivery, and Falside provides just the right amount of energy this time around. "King On The Throne" is yet another potent single intended to prepare you for Rite Hook's upcoming album dropping later this year.
