Kicking your Sunday off with another round of the Sabbath Sessions! Mizo & I laid this down in our usual manner, free of preconception or concern with anything other than quality tunes inspired by what was played previously. The themes present include an over arching presence of soul captured in an assortment of textures. My rap mix from earlier this week was still in my head and I kicked it off with some vintage Strong Arm Steady gang, Mizo snuck in a tune from a friend of his in PDX. Along the way you will hear a few guitar centric jams, electronic smokiness, a gospel tune, and more random sounds all tied together in the name of auditory adventurism. Walk with us y'all!

Just as August comes to an end I'm getting the July Heatrocks up. Shame on me. The good news is I'm typing this from internet in my own place! No more couch surfing for me. I've been on the move a lot in the last month but I kept new tunes in the deck and found several yall need to hear. Download the July Heatrocks here! Judah made this beat tape inspired by Amber Rose, he then teamed up with Dub MD and had emcee's submit verses over them. Don't know who did any of them, this one called "Closure" caught my ear. Dudes flow so smooth, his voice compliments the beat perfectly. The Dusty Fingers comps have been collecting digital dust in my iTunes since I was in college. I've heard cuts from them here and there, but recently I've listened to more off them than any other time my life. Like the UBB series they are full of samples, some you will instantly recognize and some far more esoteric. Bola Sete's cut "Bettina" is smooth, happy and pe...
