E-40 – Lightweight Jammin’ (ft. Clyde Carson, Husalah of The Mob Figaz), Video.

I wouldn’t be mad if E-40 made a video for every song on Revenue Retrieven’: Day Shift and Night Shift.

Hip-Hop Mixtape

Oddisee – Odd Spring, Mixtape.

No dusty crackly samples over here. Oddisee’s Odd Spring sounds like it was recorded with a room full of musicians; warm, whole, and lively, but still hard pounding hip-hop with deft rappers. Odd Spring is the last in Oddisee’s Odd Seasons series and the DC producer plans to release all..

Hubert Daviz – Red Light Backyard.

Producer Hubert Daviz stuck to jazz samples from his native Romania for his limited vinyl release Proceduri De Rutina which drops May 28.

Common – Next Time (Just Right) (ft. Queen Latifah) (produced by Kanye West).

Apparently, there was another version of this song with different vocals, but Common and Queen Latifah revived it for Common’s best of CD and their movie Just Wright. But this simple loop sounds like good old pre-electro Kanye West. Chances are, it is. Download: Common – Next Time (Just Right)..

Houseshoes – The Look x Newports.

Enjoy these two Detroit instrumental bangers from Houseshoes’ and Jordan Rockswell’s 10″ LA Series #4. It took me a minute to figure it out, but “The Look” samples Dorothy Ashby’s cover of “The Look of Love.” Afro-Harping is my shit. Dilla also sampled “The Look of Love” on Illa J’s..
