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....

MIX: Valentine’s Day – DOPEfm Style (EXCLUSIVE)

love is a mixed tape  by fangedfem MIX: Valentines Day   DOPEfm Style (EXCLUSIVE)

The Word is Bond has partnered up with DOPEfm to bring you some fresh new content.

Today, we are proud to present a special mixtape for you and your loved one, Valentine's Day - DOPEfm Style.

I hope you put this on while you make your loved one a nice Valentine's dinner. Or you can spin it anytime you want to hear some smooth, respectful, hip-hop love songs.

Be warned that this is some mushy rap but each song bangs. I especially like the closing song by Common, "The Light." I think that is quite possibly the best hip-hop love song of all time. Of course, we had to start out with one of the very first romantic rap songs, "I Need Love" by LL Cool J.

Roy Ayers Project Beat Compilation Vol 1 Cover Art copy 621x621 FREENESS: Roy Ayers Project Beat Submissions Compilation Vol.1 Octavators - Everybody Loves Roy

DEFIKON - Secrets, Numbers, Sounds

Tribeca - 4ever 2gether

On my travels around the net I returned to the royayersproject.com and was happily greeted by this gem. For those of you who don't know since the beginning of the year the project has called on producers/ musicians to submit beats made using the music of Roy Ayers. The response was massive and global. Since April they have been showcasing a single producer every Monday. This compilation represents some of the best examples the project has heard. There will be more to come I'm sure. So keep your eyes peeled for more. Peep the link below to download.

Something special from our homies at Yel-owe Records, a bunch of beats by Japanese-based artists all sampling the same Jacky Giordano record which is also the first track on the tape for continuity. This project was originally released in April Japan-side, but given the demand, has kindly been made available to the masses for FREE download.

Almost all of these artists also appeared on the label's We Got It compilation released in Febuary (which is no longer free, but still very much worth the $5).

ALBUM: DJ Inform – The Fair Use Project

Dj.Inform the fair use project ALBUM: DJ Inform   The Fair Use ProjectDJ Inform - Fair Use Project Track 1

Just found this Illness, on WIB's inbox, just finished listening to the whole album and it's honestly one of the best mixes I've ever heard, and there's another 4 tracks just like the one above on DJ Inform's Bandcamp...loads of care and love when in to this, and it ain't hard to tell....highly recommended.

The Fair Use project makes liberal use of over 150 different records to create a mix that must be heard to be understood. In words, DJ Inform took original records that have been sampled before for classic hip hop songs, reworked the samples with other samples from other classics, mixed in some classic drum breaks, scratched a lot, added some accapellas, and in general just sort of smashed everything together. All original records used, no b.s. mp3's or anything...buy it if you want. DJ Inform would appreciate your support.
