The Audible Doctor (Ft. VonPea) – F.U.B.U. [Prod. marink]

Al B. — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 07:43:47 +0000

The Audible Doctor has teamed up with Tanya Morgan member VonPea on a track For Us By Us. So goes the chorus in F.U.B.U. which features some soulful production from marink. The track is dope but I’d expect nothing less from the lineup. Production surprised me though cause I haven’t heard nothing from marink since I Never Finish What I Star. And that was incredible. The track is just the latest leak from Audible Doctor’s upcoming free EP I Think That… which is set to drop September 25th. So to hold your ears over enjoy F.U.B.U. below.

Add-2 – The Reunion (Prod. Slot-A)

Al B. — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 07:34:05 +0000

For the first time since One Missed Call, Add-2 links up with long time producer/engineer Slot-A for a track aptly titled The Reunion. The track is ill, it’s got that instant chemistry where the rapper and beat flow as one. Add’s lyrics are insane, I love hearing this dude rap. “Try to find a bra to fit Rick Ross’ titties in” lol classic. Hopefully this is a sign of more to come from the two, they put out nothing but dopeness.

Substantial – Check My Resume (Prod. Oddisee)

Al B. — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 07:19:25 +0000

Damn I swear Substantial has been around forever. I can’t believe he’s only on his third album. Well for the first single Substantial drops an autobiographical track for those that don’t know. Oddisee provides an amazing backdrop with some killer drums and a nice sample. It’s no Nujabes but it’ll do. Home is Where The Art Is drops September 4th and if it sounds anything like the first track, I’m all over it. If you really want in on it you can pre-order now.

This is dope. Graf artist Blake “KEO’ Lethem speaks on creating MF Doom’s now iconic mask. He also touches on the reasoning behind it as well as just some small anecdotes on Doom himself. The clip is a video version of the 166 page DOOM book by Frank 151 that you get for free when you cop the JJ Doom album on Stones Throw. So…do that.
