 The release of Brooklyn Academys album “Bored of Education” has been pushed up to September 2nd, so I’m afraid we’ll have to wait a little bit longer for the goodness. But those who wait for something good.. you know the saying hehe. You can check the Brooklyn Academy Myspace for updates, links and whatnot as well. Cheers! |
It seems the comments have been broken for quite some time and I just recently found out. I have to say I was kinda surprised I didnt even get any spam for so long hehe. Anywho… I think I’ve managed to fix the problem now.
It seems the old ones are lost tho, even if it says on some posts that there should be some.
Well that was that.. just a quick update.
 Debut album from Brooklyn Academy dropping on July 22nd… 10+ years in the making. Brooklyn Ac is Block McCloud, Mr. Metaphor & Pumpkinhead. Y’all can pre-order it on UGHH, or if you in Sweden and prefer megastore… go there.
So why am I telling you this? Well.. I produced one of the tunes on there, namely “Splash” which features Killah Priest. To be honest i remixed it, the original version of the track is on Brooklyn Ac’s myspace.. but that is not the one I made and won’t be on the album. Just thought I’d make that clear. I’m not gonna post any audio preview this time.. at least not right now. Maybe I’ll update this post with the tune later on, we’ll see. There are a couple of live vids if you expand the post tho. Oh and if you’re wondering about the cover.. I haven’t seen it yet myself. |
Here’s an excerpt from a good writeup on BloomBlog, head over there to read the whole story and make sure you check the follow-up as well. One of the pics show a sneak peak of the cover.. not the best perhpas, but if you’re curious!
Pumpkinhead, Block McCloud and Mr. Metaphor all grew up in the same area of Park Slope, Brooklyn submerged in music and hip-hop culture. There had been random quasi-encounters here and there—Pumpkinhead and Met attending the same junior high school, Block hearing about Pumpkinhead’s battling abilities through a friend, etc.—but it wasn’t until an arranged freestyle battle between Block and Pump in 1995 that the two officially met. (Looking back, one will quickly concede defeat to the other but you’ll have to ask who beat who.) Around the same time, Block, Metaphor and producer Will Tell formed Word A’ Mouth, whose “Famous Last Words” unanimously became the highlight of the much-lauded Lyricist Lounge, Volume One. Finally in 1996, the trio came together to release classic underground singles like “Blind Fury” and “Russian Roulette” and a movement was born.
Other producers include Illmind, Will Tell, Snowgoons, Black Milk to name a few. Guests on the album are Ill Bill, Will Tell, Jean Grae, Killa Priest and more. Make sure y’all peep this and you can keep checking back here as well as I’ll try to keep updating if I find anything new and interesting to post.
Cheers!
 Silent Knight’s new album “Restoration” has hit the shelves, and on it is my remix of his track “This Is It”. I did sort of and old school, disco’ish thing, complete with vocoder hook and all. You can grab the album from SK’s page on myspace at the moment, but I guess it’ll be more widely available soon. Y’all should also peep his Rawkus 50 drop “Hunger Strike v.2″, which is very nice as well. Y’all can check out the entire remix on my Myspace page.. but I’ve also included a snippet right here, just click play below. [display_podcast] |
 After some requests I’ve tried to compile a “recordography”, of sorts, of old Smutsit & Royal Blood recordings. Some of y’all might remember us, but most of you have probably never heard of us. Smutsit & Royal Blood was two hiphop groups from Stockholm-Sweden, consisting of more or less the same people. Smutsit (tr. Dirty) was the Swedish version & Royal Blood the English. |
Bluevibe Studio just posted a blog about his new EP coming out soon.
It has a pre-master version of my (magOwl) remix of “Holdin On” attached for listening, as well as some nice insights on how he goes about making this release happen and his working method.
So y’all should get over there and check it out.
Alright.. here’s a couple of new remixes not featured on “Remixes Part 5″ (which is free btw.. click the link up on the right and download it if you havn’t already).
magOwl Presents The Remixes Part 5 (2007)
Look inside for tracklist and download location.
Alright.. I’ve gotten a working download thing going now and will start to put the old styles and stuff up again. Latest style is up atm, but as I said more will follow shortly and it can be found under the Download link in the menu.
Just a lil update on things.
Cheers!
