I was late on this cat, I’ll admit but I can f-ck with this!
From the homie, Modulok:
In the summer of 2012 I ventured to Washington D.C. to meet legendary Bad Brains front-man, HR, which was pretty high on my “things I need to do before I die” list. I slept on his floor, he cooked me dinner, and we got in the studio with a beat by Fresh Kils, Dave Stone (bassist for numerous DC area punk bands) Grant McGregor (of the Human Rights Band) on drums and Pablo Fiasco (a musical genius who used to play with The Pietasters, Iron Cross, and now runs something called Pablo Fiasco’s Reggae Sweatshop in Baltimore) on keys. Needless to say it was the experience of a lifetime. The result was a song called Golden Rule. And now there’s a video. Enjoy!
“Golden Rule” is from the album, You Look So Tragic which you can listen to in full on the DK facebook page HERE.
Title track from Toronto MC, Sean Leon‘s recently released, narcissus, THE DROWNING OF EGO full-length project which you can listen to HERE. The album is great, everything Yeezus wanted to be, arty, creative progressive and forward-thinking but also something it was, to my ears, not: listenable! There are shades of Drake, A$AP Rocky and MCHG Hov in the aural mix too but all spun into something fresh and original. I digs. You??

This one is for all my London and UK soul boys & girls and those who respect & understand that culture! This remake from a forthcoming Gilles Peterson-produced project and was released for Record Store Day yesterday. Here’s more details:
Taken from Gilles Peterson’s new album project Sonzeira, “Southern Freeez”, featuring Emanuelle Araújo on vocals, is an electronic bossa re-work of Freeez’s famous UK jazz-funk hit, due for exclusive release on 7” for Record Store Day Saturday 19th April.
The album Sonzeira – Brasil Bam Bam Bam features all new material produced by Gilles Peterson and is the product of him being a fan and a champion of Brazilian music in the club and on the radio for last 25 years; culminating in him bringing together the country’s finest artists all on one record for the very first time – under the artist collective Sonzeira.
