Tame One - Anxiety Attacks (from Tame's upcoming album Acid Tab Vocab, due out June 23rd)
Over the past two months, my inbox has seen an exponential increase in submissions and, as a result, I haven't had the chance to spotlight as many of the artists as I would have liked. In an effort to catch up, here are a few of the submissions that stood out:
Scheme featuring Jean Grae - Let Me Do My Thing
Scheme, who underground heads are no doubt familiar with as a member of Chicago's Molemen, came through after we put up his video for Chicano. Always cool when one of the artists stops by (even if it was just through a google vanity search!), and Scheme was kind enough to pass along the second single from his Manifesto EP, to be released on June 16th.
Shabaam Sahdeeq featuring Talib Kweli, Pharaohe Monch and Mr. Complex - Lyrical Fluctuation (produced by DJ Spinna)
Lyrical Fluctuation is being billed as a "digital exclusive" (though I can't say I fully understand the significance of that label) from Foundation Media. Mainly putting it up for the new verse from Monch.
The Regiment - Old School Vibe
This is the first song I've ever heard from The Regiment, a Detroit-based duo signed to Rawkus, but apparently they've already released a couple of albums. Old School Vibe is off of their second album, A New Beginning.
Marco Polo and Torae - Double Barrel (Full Album, Clean Version) (sendspace link)
In case you haven't gotten around to listening to it - and I'll admit I haven't - Duck Down has made the entire Double Barrel album from Marco Polo and Torae available for free, albeit in its "clean" form. You'll have to put down some money to hear the "real" version, though judging from the reviews online it sounds like it's well worth the 15 bucks.
Biz Markie's Online Beat Box
Not a song per se, but worth checking out regardless. I don't have any kids, so I have to admit I'm not entirely in touch with the Yo Gabba Gabba! phenomenon, but my homie Mike tells me that Biz makes frequent appearances on the show. While you're over there, peep Biz's instructional video.
There are still a bunch of other songs that I hope to get around to at some point this week, including a couple of new tracks from MAGr. Hopefully I'll get a chance to put those up in the next day or two.
