I was lucky enough to get serviced Bosco Money's "Secret Agent" when it first dropped. There's some dope joints on that CD. This one reminds me of him tapping into his writing approach on "Radioactive": youtube.com/watch?v=EpyE2U… #DowntownScience

7X3=21 - Sum (of) Inspirations hhheadz.com/2021/12/7x321-… 7X3=21

I've never used MIDI before so tried for the first time with Ableton and my new Launchkey Mini to do a production test. Just a little something: soundcloud.com/redefinehiphop…

When samplers discover the power of MIDI programming…. Changed my life

I’m always inspired by my Beat Junkie brothers, but right now I’m even more inspired by J.Rocc djdstyles & DJ BABU for their beats. Everybody know us for our DJ skills, but don’t sleep on our beats & we can also flip diff styles too…lol! #BeatJunkiesIsTheCrew

I'm happy to see someone mention Shafiq Husayn. I'm a huge fan of his as well, dating back to the SLJ days with Rhyme Syndicate!

In no particular order, some of our favorite album art of 2021...Here is Garbology from Aesop Rock and Blockhead with art and layout by Justin “Coro” Kaufman.

And, I'm sure it spans beyond this, but specifically the run from 2010-2014 for Black Milk and his production is insane. He had some magic moments. Do yourself a favor and go listen to the instrumental version of "If There's A Hell Below". Here's one: youtube.com/watch?v=8_sT8a…

You Can Have Watergate Just Gimme Some Bucks And I'll Be Straight Godfather James Brown & The J.B.s

Let’s get behind this mix by DJ Krash Slaughta for Del Soulcondor ( SOULCONDOR SLICES ).

Those were really the two that I was thinking I remembered really enjoying, but couldn't remember any particulars. I need to listen to them again, and I also learned while looking that he dropped an album ("Fever") in 2018 I never heard, which I will fix that this weekend!

If you're looking for a album you may have missed with quality rapping and impressive production, including RJD2, Madlib, PREFUSE 73, albertjenkins, & K Kruz, and some nice features from @JeanGrae & VAST AIRE. Peep Diverse One A.M. (2003): open.spotify.com/album/16wqtmFo… #Chicago

7X3​=​21 - “Sum (of) Inspirations” EP hhheadz.com/2021/12/7x321-… 7X3=21

Pardon the indulgent thread, but here were some projects I was fortunate enough to complete and/or be apart of this year. Here’s to a better one next year.

That's so dope to hear! I still remember the 1st time I saw him live at a small bar in Evanston, he ripped it! Seven, who ran the label, used to give me advance copies/exclusives from the label for Time Travel Radio at this time, the label, Chocolate Industries" had some gems.

I wish Pallas Records had a much longer run, their A&R selections in that short '94-'96 frame were intriguing; Erule, Crucial Conflict, Bushwackass, Alien Nation, & Ganjah K. That line up seemingly makes both perfect sense and no sense at all, in various ways... 😂🧐

For #BandcampFriday I released this deeply personal concept album, Affair Use, detailing my search to find what true happiness means to me. Based on simple (often noisy) loops + raw emotion, Click into each song for read-a-long story detailing concepts: 3wisemenentertainment.bandcamp.com
