Re: Interview w Darc Mind MC Kevroc & Producer X-Ray da Mindbenda
Following up on a topic of conversation from my interview with Kevroc and Web D, I wrote about the three Legion of D.U.M.E. members who didn't end up in Darc Mind -- Schott Free, Prime and B-Wyze -- and compiled a playlist of tracks by them: https://www.longislandrap.com/2020/08/what-happened-to-leg...

Re: Interview w Darc Mind MC Kevroc & Producer X-Ray da Mindbenda
Thanks, guys. I had a great time doing this one, so I'm glad you enjoyed it. X-Ray was kind enough to bless me with an unreleased remix of "Noneotherthan" (off What Happened to the Art?) for the compilation I released last month. Here's that if you haven't heard it yet: https://longislandrap.bandcam...

Re: I Started a Label, Long Island Rap Records
If anyone's been thinking about copping this, holding off until Bandcamp waives its fees, etc., 50% of all proceeds from tmrw's sales will go to BLM. (The other 50% will continue to go to local food shares.)

Re: I Started a Label, Long Island Rap Records
Haaa, thanks for listening, Sleep. Yeah, I did think about cutting it back (specifically cutting it at "My feet hurt") but decided in the end that it led into Cryptic's tune and its opening sample nicely. Also after repeated listens, I started applying wild sociopolitical interpretations to that dia...

Re: I Started a Label, Long Island Rap Records
Yes big shouts to Cryptic, who came thru with one of the dopest tracks on here IMO. It's all LI (Cryptic came up in Westbury if ya don't know). Both of SmooVth's cuts came straight from him and are totally unreleased. He also gave the whole thing a listen when I was sweating the sequencing. The Roc ...

Re: I Started a Label, Long Island Rap Records
I dropped a benefit compilation. It's 23 new tracks, almost all of them otherwise unreleased, including exlcusives from SmooVth, Cryptic One, Darc Mind, Theravada and many more. VERY different from the last release. Also all proceeds go to a good cause. I hope you enjoy. https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1...

Re: Serengeti - "C.A.R." (Prod. = Jel & Odd Nosdam
Yeah, this might be my favorite Geti album on first listen, for real. So hilarious, completely out there. Kenny Segal killed it on every track, and Geti stepped his flows up accordingly. Definitely makes me want to go back and catch up on the albums I've missed from him the past few years.

Very very good, feels like Scorsese is critiquing his past work and career on screen through the lens of this movie, expanding on previous ideas and themes and occasionally maybe even correcting himself. A very complex and layered movie, leaves you with tons and tons of stuff to think about. The la...

I Started a Label, Long Island Rap Records
Hi all, just wanted to drop a line that I turned my blog into a label. The first release is from my good friend, Andy Koufax, who some of you might have heard singing on Willie Green's Doc Savage album (the track was "Thousand Headed Man" ft. Armand Hammer). Here he's singing, rapping, producing, an...

Not quite that, at least according to RZA.Philaflava wrote:I'm only 1 1/2 in, but looking forward to the Cilvaringz shit. You can tell he was just an opportunist who had no real affiliation other than giving RZA lots of money for the rights to bullshit.
