January Playlist by dontsleeppp_jan

A couple days early before another busy week #grinding.

I couldn't include this in the January playlist because apparently Stones Throw block their artists from Soundcloud. Either way, this track is classic Sandman, a creative topic with an underlying message. Taken from his new EP, Subject: Matter out now.

Produced by The Audible Doctor.

Album Spotlight: yU- The Earn

Posted by Bonesy | Posted in Album Spotlight | Posted on 1:46 PM

This was probably the album from 2011 that I played the most. I didn't know much about yU other than that he was in the group the Diamond District, who dropped an album (In The Ruff) about two years ago which I played quite a bit. This album is knocking all the way through, with a variety of topics on deck and dusty beats. yU also sequenced the album real well with skits and interludes which I never end up skipping on a full listen (unlike most albums). Check out some of the tracks below, but make sure to peep the album in it's entirety for full appreciation.

If U Down (Prod. Slimkat 87 & Drew Kid)

Write On (Prod. Usef Dinero)

Blind (Prod. Kev Brown)
