AUDIO: Gorillaz, Andre 3000 & James Murphy – Do Ya Thing

Bit of promo for the (pretty dope) Converse collab with Gorillaz. These three giants of the music world get together to do their thang. We’re always good for an Andre 3000 verse and Gorillaz’ beats are well underrated I think.

Ok this isn’t the first time Mr Green’s been featured on Word Is Bond but this is hella dope. Rime, a notorious graffiti artist from Jersey, hooked up with Mr. Green for a ‘Live From The Streets’ episode:

This episode I made a beat out of footage that our boy Rime  took while he was in Miami for Art Basel.  It’s the first time we’ve  done anything like this (used someone else’s footage) and..

FREENESS: SPcifyk – City Talk (France)

OK I first heard of SPcifyk many moons ago (18 months? Something like that) with some free remixes he released but I never followed it up. So today on a whim I googled his name and found this full length release, which was put out quite a while back, of remixes and instrumentals, full of his signature emphatic snare and atmospheric loops. Dope. The Parisian is real elusive so if you have any info on him please, please drop a comment.

Ah this is dope. Freddie Joachim and Question, no strangers to Word Is Bond, come together to do this dope jazzy mix for their label Mellow Orange. Each producer took half an hour.

Also check the ‘Find Another Way Revisited’ track they put up about a month ago. Love the Miguel Atwood Ferguson/Carlos Nino sample from his Dilla tribute in both that and the original. These two just mad dope.

Question: Website..

AUDIO: Tall Black Guy – Mini Therapy Chops EP

Ok, this is nice. A couple of dope tracks from production guru Tall Black Guy, who has since been knighted the last time we mentioned him (don’t believe me, check his Twitter).

This album is a continuation on the Therapy Chops theme. “Sweet Europe” and “Love to The World” are tracks that I made in late 2011. They have recieved great reviews worldwide.

You can purchase them online or on vinyl. Spot the Cortex sample towards the end. And have a peep at our previous..

FREENESS: Ed Sheeran & Yelawolf – The Slumdon Bridge EP

Ok this is a quite interesting collaboration between two fairly big artists. I have to say I really like Ed Sheeran, he is one of the most original and intriguing guys in the UK alternative scene (check this vid that J dropped a couple of years ago) and has worked with a load of MCs before, including an entire EP (labeled The Collaboration EP; his story is really good, the work he put in to get to where he is is almost Hollywood-esque. Yelawolf is probably better known since he’s a..
