Alchemist - Covert Coup [Instrumental LP]

The Alchemist has always been one of my favorite beatsmiths cooking up dope tracks since the 90s and providing the world with pure Hip-Hop classics with the a wide range of artist from Dilated Peoples to Mobb Deep to Jadakiss. Covert Coup is a mixtape that Alchemist did with Curren$y around this time last year that you can still download for free but the instrumentals where just released on Alchemist bandcamp for all us beat aficionados. You can stream the instrumentals free or grab a copy for $4.20 here. I recommend getting the free download and purchasing  the instrumental for those hot box freestyle sessions that rejuvenate you and your friends creative juices.

Slow Magic - Sorry Safari [Music Video]

Slow Magic : Facebook | Bandcamp
I guess I'm on a roll today. I don't know how and why I always seem to stumble upon really really good music late at night/early in the morning. Maybe it's because my mind is at it's clearest point in the night. Maybe it's because day time activity and thought process is overrated. Maybe that's just how sh)(t happens. Any hoo, I clicked here and there and now we're at Slow Magic's track Sorry Safari. If you trip out to the video and want to be reminded of that visual trip each time through auditory means, you can purchase the track off of their bandcamp page here. If you like the music, but you can barely afford gas right now let alone a track, help the artist by passing the video along to someone who may enjoy it.

Galapagoose - Commitments [New Release]

Galapagoose: Official | Bandcamp 
I remember semA passing me galapagoose's first couple EP's a while back during our Summer Extravaganza series. The fact that this Melbourne beat junkie offered the releases all for free on his website made me love him from the start. The more I listened to his loose rhythms that shift and sway, the more I appreciated his experimentalism. 
Fast forward a handful of months and we get word that Daedelus' Magical Properties Records has a full length from galapagoose ready for worldwide distribution. If you're into downtempo beats with an experimental twist then commitments is for you! Pick up your digital copy on bandcamp or boomkat today! Also for the record collectors, Special limited edition LP of commitments is also available from galapagoose! [e]njoy

14KT - Width feat. Tony Ozier [Music Video + Limited Edition Vinyl]

The more and more I dive into 14KT's A friendly Game with KT, the more I sink into this Michigan Producer/Emcee's groove. There's nothing but beats and bangers on this release. My favorite is the opening track: "Pick Up Sticks." Check out the video for Width, the last song on the album and read what he has to say about the track/video below. ++ Bonus Treats ++
