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....

FREENESS: Lyle Horowitz – Redamancy

Redamancy FREENESS: Lyle Horowitz   RedamancyLyle Horowitz - Ridiculous Ft. Deniro Farrar & Big Pooh

Lyle Horowitz - B-43 (Feat. Lewis)

Lyle Horowitz - Caged Heart

Beautiful work by Lyle Horowitz...based on his previous releases, nothing less is to be expected.

I started Redamancy on Valentine's Day 2011 during a bus ride back to New York from North Hampton, Massachusetts. I plugged my laptop into the power outlet and created the first draft of "B-43", which is now the album closer. A big part of why this project means so much to me is because of the circumstances that led to me creating it and what I learned about myself and others after those circumstances occurred. Although the impetus for this album was a break-up, this is not a break-up album, at least not entirely -- Redamancy explores love and heartbreak from all sides and the effects it has on those that go through it. This is a truly personal body of work and I hope that you enjoy it. - Lyle Horowitz

FREENESS: Frank John James – Romanstrumentals Vol​.​2

FrankJohnJamesRomanstrumentals FREENESS:  Frank John James   Romanstrumentals Vol​.​2

"Frank John James' Romanstrumentals are probably the best tranquilizer you can buy today. It soothes. It warms. It mellows. And, it makes you glow all over. When you hear a James arrangement, somehow the words of a song seem unimportant. The Romanstrumental itself is so lyrical, the phrasing and punctuation is so precise, that each sample Frank plays becomes a personal love note. In this new Romanstrumental beat tape, Frank has selected 29 beautiful beats that almost require candles, champagne and a reminiscent mood for listening. So. Turn off the lights and let Frank turn on your heart with these lingering melodies."

WIB DROPPIN' LOVE DAILY THOUGH!!

Varisty Squad - Splash (prod. Buscrates 16-Bit Ensemble)

Varisty Squad - New School Boom Bap (prod. DJ Vex)

If you're like me then no rhythms move you like those of the good old boom bap variety. Varsity Squad (Jon Quest & Beedie) have released an album that incorporates the sounds of the past but present it to you in a new school way. I haven't even mentioned the incredible array of producers on this record: Buscrates, Shade Cobain, DJ Vex, Czentist, Git Beats and MassAppeal.  This is definitely a head-nodding modern classic and deserves to be listened to.

AUDIO: Ackurate x e.d.g.e. – Penwork Inc.

PNWRK1 AUDIO: Ackurate x e.d.g.e.   Penwork Inc.Ackurate x e.d.g.e. - Penwork Inc

"Penwork" is one of Canadian MC e.d.g.e.'s trademarks and it seems like he's recruiting for his new firm. In any case, young MC Ackurate, hailing from East Saint Louis, Illinois, seems to have what it takes and showcases his skills on this track that borrows DJ Premier's production on Evidence's excellent track You. Both Ackurate and e.d.g.e. shine here and it is always a pleasure to listen to some talented artists collaborating, especially when one of them is so young but so gifted already. We don't have much more info now, but I sure look forward to listening to more from Ackurate.
