damnheresatissue asked: Tower is part of Fresh's production team, he likely contributed to a bunch of the ones that weren't "faux-Fresh". He does tend to be underwhelming solo though, yeh. Especially when he raps.

Webbie f/ Lil Phat “What’s Happenin” (2011, Mixtape)
GSLAPS says this is what ‘Bout It, Bout It’ would sound like if it came out in 2011. It certainly has the characteristic swampy synths of the No Limit classic, but paired with the club-focused thump of Baton Rouge’s Trill Ent. (minus the celebratory swagger of Mouse on tha Track).
This record first appeared...

Project Pat f/ Juicy J “Kelly Green” (2011, Hypnotize Minds)
One of the highlights from Pat’s Loudpack record which dropped last month, but no one is discussing because you have to pay for it.
The video continues in ‘low-budget-hotel-room-oeuvre’ Juicy J has been using to release videos for seemingly every track from Rubberband Business 2, and finds the M-Town...

marathonpacks:
So, those of you who regularly purchase vinyl albums: do you purchase them more for 1) “souvenir” purposes, in which you find yourself still listening to mp3s/CDs more often and the albums serve more as totems/display items/receipts of purchase, or 2) for “playback” purposes, i.e. better sound quality/speaker positionality in the home, etc.
Think of these two as positions on a...

Too $hort: The 75 Girls Tapes →
Apparently Aesop Dekker (erstwhile drummer for folk metal group Agalloch (often confused by myself with Agallah, despite the two lacking any similarities), Worm Ourobouros and the recently disbanded Ludicra), who runs the excellent Cosmic Hearse blog of ‘hard to find and special recordings’, is also a fan of classic raps.
This morning, Dekker posted three cassette rips of Too...

LWH :: “Bitin and Shakin (f/ We$tern Tink, MondreM.A.N. & Shady Blaze)” Single (2011)
Further exploring the sonic palette of Chandelier, LWH offers a static-y, 8-bit drone kind of like the Metroid theme with a promethezine lean. Tink spits homages to Pimp C and makes reference to George Jung while Shady anchors with his impeccable speed raps (even adding some melody...
