Fresh off the success of 93 Still, the exclusive remix album of Souls of Mischief's 93 'Til Infinity, Gummy Soul's Wally Clark is back with his 2nd solo release, and is BandCamp's featured artist. The Nashville native, who founded Gummy Soul in 2008, combines Tennessee's rich history of Soul music, with his love of Hip-Hop, to create a feel that is both new, and from another time. On Sportin' Waves, Clark uses his smokey voice, to seduce the listener with Southern charm and effortless wit. The result is a moody, sexually charged album, full of clever tales that are funny, yet lyrically advanced, and filled with inebriated wisdom.

I was blessed with an advanced copy of Cas One's second full-length album The Monster And The Wishing Well. I felt like I was sitting on an incredible new drug and I couldn't wait to give you all this feeling. This record will breathe life into the forever-thirsty masses of knowledge seekers and the underground free radicals alike. It's truly refreshing without the harmful side effects of monotony because it's all natural with no record labels involved, just Cas One and his crew. Cas definitely doesn't walk alone through this 16-track composition. Two of his main production crew consists of his long time friends Eric Hunter and an electro wizard known as Figure, all three of them are straight out of Evansville, Indiana. Unusual suspects Bitter Stephens, Prolyphic & Metermaid

It's a tradition in Minneapolis for it to be cold in December and for Doomtree to hold a Blowout - both of those will continue to happen this year. Blowout 9 will be held December 13th, 14th, & 15th at First Avenue Mainroom. Tickets will go on sale Friday, November 1st at noon CST. Members of Doomtree will be at The Depot this Saturday from 2:00-4:00pm selling tickets hand to hand. This year the crew has chosen four charities that the Blowout will be benefiting. They include Tubman Center, Southside Family Nurturing Center, Kicker Project, and True Food Council. When they take the stage together, they're an unstoppable storm of knuckle tattoos, fedoras, high-tops, and sensible flats - they're funny together, desperately serious together, and their loyalty to one another is pa

"Since about 1992 I've religiously followed the West Coast Underground. In 1997, living in Bentonville, AR, of all places, and copping 12" records in Fayetteville and Tulsa, OK, I happened on this label ABB. Many are familiar with this label for their release of Little Brother's "The Listening" LP. By frequenting Mission Control in Fayetteville, the shop in Tulsa (I forget the name), and bumping Maxmillion mixtapes, I became familiar with some of my West Coast favorites by virtue of their appearances on ABB records: Planet Asia, Defari, Phil Da Agony, Self Scientific, Krondon, Ahmad Jamal, Superstar QuamAllah, and Dilated Peoples. When I got this beat from Kev Brown and dropped these 8 bar verses on it, the scheme reminded me of "Worst Comes to Worst" by Dilated. I IMMEDIATELY heard Raa
