What's good - this week (ahem), we've got an all-southern episode. This might be the first time I've done this, but it probably won't be the last, considering ...

And as promised, Soultronica Volume Two. If you haven't caught the first installment in this ongoing sideseries, you need to go back and get a bar - once you've caught Soultronica Volume 1 in its entirety, come back and check this one out. This volume finds our heroes back in space, and your boy back in Cali with the official studio - don't get me wrong, the Macbook mic is fine for what it is, but nothing beats recording into a mic that's worth more than you are. D'Angelo - Devil's Pie (Kenny Keys remix). I was so impatient to share this joint with the listeners when I first got it that I damn near made a one-song episode of your favorite hip-hop podcast. Keys shows us where his name came from on this joint, and the production is hot as well. Brilliant remix. myspace.com/kennykeys J*Davey - Let It Bleed. There's so very little I can say about this duo without simply reiterating what everyone in the know has been saying for what, going on a couple years, at least, now? Production is funky, soulful, and futuristic, the vocals ooze intelligence and well, sex. jdaveybaby.com J*Davey - Gangsta. Damn. Do not let the lyrics slip by you on this one, trust me.

As most of you are aware, I get so much music on a daily basis that it's not possible to put even a tenth of it into a show. Thus, a lot of good shit never ends up getting out, due to a combination of my tendency to sit on joints until I feel like it's ready and my ADHD kicking in and me getting bored with the stuff I was going to put out. It's not an easy life, trust me. So with that said, I've tried to put some of the joints that really caught my attention over the last few months on this podcast. Don't call it "leftovers", cause it ain't that, but just because sometimes I just can't fit a song into a particular episode shouldn't mean that it never gets out. Here's the track list. Dabrye - Air feat MF Doom. Regardless of what I might have said about that Dangerdoom project, I'm still a Doom fan - and I've always liked Dabrye's shit. If you feel this joint, I'd actually recommend going out and picking up Dabrye's Two/Three - it was a long time in the making and there are at least five joints that spent forever in my Volvo CD player. dabrye.com. Nicolay - The End Is Near feat Black Spade. I was actually so swamped a few months ago that I never actually got to listen to this record until I was in Hong Kong. I remember the overall record - Here - being sort of hit or miss sometimes, but for the Black Spade joints are definitely worth checking out. Cop up. myspace.com/nicolay.
