Mellow Monday 11 : Timeflies + Three Great Hip Hop Tracks

     So its been just over a week since my last post and all the excuses I have are absolute rubbish so without further ado lets get stuck in.

     Timeflies, are an electro hip hop duo from the Boston area, and have just celebrated their first year of producing. Ever since I found one of their many singles on GMAD I've had a soft spot for anything and everything Timeflies. The closest band I can compare them to would be Audiodax, except here we have Cal writing and singing all the vocal parts with Rob Resnick producing and laying down the beats.

     While we're on the topic of beats lets break to a new paragraph and give you some more detail. When I say beats I don't mean your standard hip hop beat, only useful for shaking the fenders of your dad's car, I mean complex arrangements of electronic talent. Not one song has the same melody of the last and the styles of electronica differ from your standard techno/house to dubstep and back, all these tracks would sell as instrumentals but with Cal droppin poetry these tracks are money. Their debut album "The Scotch Tape" is 165.6 Mb of goodness, weighing in at eleven tracks this album will surely be the most enjoyable 49.7 minutes you've spent all day. So grab it up and if you aren't stingy grab it here on itunes for only $7.99.


     Welcome to last weeks finest, today I bring you brand new (ish) tracks from Sam Adams, Na Palm and Natnaiel. Be amazed.

     I must admit party rap isn't usually my cup of tea but Sam Adams just has a charisma that transmits to his tracks, keeping me coming back for more. His newest release/remix, "Push and Rise", was produced by electro legend Wolfgang Gartner. Give it a listen.


     Here at SDB we have a hell of a lot of love for Chicago native Na Palm, his newest single/remix, "Understand Me Now", is no exception. Produced by long time favorite Derek Vincent Smith or as we all know him, Pretty Lights this track, and these artists, are top notch. Turn it up and love it.


     Todays last track is another heavy release from Natnaiel, " You Want The Same ". Featuring Mekaiel (yeah that's spelled right... I think) this track, although completely unoriginal, is Natnaiel's take on what we can assume is a love song (Sex rap). Give it a listen and a download.


     Thanks one and all for tuning in once again, sorry for the wait, if you can find it in your hearts to forgive me head on over to our Facebook page and give 'er a like, it would make me happy.
