REVIEW: Dewey Decibel

.:ALBUM REVIEW: Dewey Decibel -- #BOOMBOXBOOKWORM

After I discovered Dewey Decibel with the tracks Met Her in L.A. and Hello Hello, I have to admit I was quite curious about this mixtape but didn't really know what to expect, apart from a constantly crazy flow and witty wordplay, which seem to be some of the MC's trademarks.

It turns out I was not disappointed as #BOOMBOXBOOKWORM is a way for him to showcase his lyrical and technical skills. Nevertheless, despite this curiosity and interest in Dewey Decibel's talent, I was slightly taken aback after the first listen and didn't really know what to make of the project. I persevered though and listened to it again, and again, and again.

INTERVIEW: Eric Lau Exclusive

.:INTERVIEW: Eric Lau -- Word Is Bond Exclusive Interview

After Moka Only and Chief last week, it is now time for London producer Eric Lau to be featured here with a very interesting video interview we recorded at the end of 2011.

First of all, we would like to thank the owner of Guanabana, a wonderful restaurant in Camden, London, for lending his space for the time of the interview and providing such a lovely setting. Not to mention, the food is delicious there! It was also a great pleasure to catch up with Eric and get to meet Simon from Kilawatt, and we are very grateful to both of them for taking some time to chill with us and answer our questions....

If you didn't catch the audio of this heater at first, Well it's time for that WIB OPTICAL HEAT SH!T!!!!... Now we got visuals for the "Thuggin’ EP" in collaboration of Freddie Gibbs & Madlib.. This is surreal to me at times how this cross bred of Genuine Intellect of "G"ness has brought out to be... But letting you know from what has been heard.. This "Thuggin" is going to be a problem.. Keep us locked here on WIB And Support!!..Additional information provided below:

At Friday’s Madlib Medicine Show tour stop in San Francisco, the producer announced a collaborative project with the rapper Freddie Gibbs. Gibbs also debuted “Thuggin’” and “Deep,” from their debut EP. The 6-track record is released on Madlib's Madlib Invazion label - the imprint the producer founded to release his 13 Madlib Medicine Show volumes. The duo’s as-of-yet untitled album is planned for release in first quarter 2012. This project gives the Gary, Indiana-bred, LA-based rapper a chance to stretch out over the Beat Konducta’s lush musical tapestry. If the first single is any indication, this collaboration will find Gibbs’ rough raps landing atop smoldering soul and jagged psychedelia.
Created specially for Madlib’s Medicine Show Tour, late 2011 the Thuggin’ EP contains vocals, instrumentals and two bonus beats. Artwork by Jeff Jank features a dual A-side, "Madlib" embossed on one side, "Freddie Gibbs" on the flip. VIA STONES THROW
