I have a lot of things to say about The Book Of David, and hopefully they’ll be up in the next day or two.
In the meantime, check out this video from the record’s first single.

Oh hai. You guys should probably mention that this mix was compiled by Matt Miller, director of the excellent and sadly still unreleased Bounce documentary Ya Heard Me.

All Points Converge
Okay let’s all take a break from EARLGATE to discuss some new music that share some thematic and musical references, both rapped and un-rapped.
Clams Casino- “Gorilla” (from Rainforest EP, out 6/27 on Tri Angle Records)
One of the most underrated aspects of Clams’ ethereal, otherworldly beatwork is how hard it hits. On some tracks, the loping, ramshackle pace of the...

Anonymous asked: Record sales can actually definitely turn a profit for these little labels.

willystaley:
Got to talk to the boy 40 Water about his 25 Most Essential tracks for Complex Mag. I have been an E-40 dork since I was, like, 12 years old, so this was a real treat. I also hated on a lot of his mainstream stuff on the internet pretty hard, so it was interesting to see how not-manufactured some of his more manufactured-sounding stuff was. That is the difference between music...
