Although today is Dilla day (Happy Birthday and R.I.P.) we aren’t as predictable as you thought we were in bringing you another Dilla mix. We aren’t going to flood your timeline with Dilla videos, lyrics AND a podcast as well, So we decided to do something a little different. The Alkaholiks….

Tha Alkaholiks, also known as Tha Liks, was an American hip hop group from Los Angeles, California. Since the early 1990s they have produced funky, upbeat, hedonism-themed party music with a hardcore hip hop edge, powered by the beats of DJ and producer E-Swift and the lively, comedic rhymes of J-Ro and Tash. Though commercial crossover success largely eluded the group, they maintained a dedicated following on their native West Coast, throughout the United States and worldwide.

Regardless… keep your eyes peeled to @el_LOU on Twtiiter as he floods I do share some of Dillas best today. (and every other day).

Enjoy and Re-share!!

Coming from the Perverted Monks camp, Afu-Ra is most well known through his affiliation with the Gang Starr Foundation and Jeru the Damaja. Remember that song on Jeru’s The Sun Rises in the East album called “Mental Stamina”? That dope MC on there? Yeah… That’s Afu-Ra. That was his first major mention to the world. He made another appearance on Jeru’s second album Wrath of the Math, on the track “Physical Stamina”, in 1996. Afu’s debut single, “Whirlwind Thru Cities”, was released in 1998, reaching the top 20 on Billboard’s Hot Rap Singles chart. In 1999, he released his second single, “Defeat” b/w “Mortal Kombat”.

Dude is known around the Hiphop community as one of those dudes you just don’t fuck with. Not ONLY cause of his wicked wordplay and flow but because he’s pretty into Kung-Fu…. and Chess. Interesting, huh?

It’s a highly personal tune. As I took it upon myself to moozy on over to Knowledge Medina’s Facebook page and see his status is “engaged,” I couldn’t help but think this man poured his soul into his verses and shared it with complete strangers. A personal story of commitment and an ode to good women, it expresses how the handsome men in our lives  sometimes act as if they don’t really care – but we stick by them because not-so-deep down, we know they do.

Now, without further ado; for your listening pleasure; Antisteez presents: Knowledge Medina’s and Numonics’ message in the form of song: “You Don’t Really Care.”

We’ve been telling you about Garcia. We’ve been posting the videos, each a single off of his new project. Well, now that project is here and available for FREE DOWNLOAD. That’s right…the time for the Off The Beaten Path EP has arrived.

Joining GARCIA on the guest tip throughout Off the Beaten Path are Omniscient, AG Lyonz, Bernz and Wrekonize (of ¡MAYDAY! ), N.O.R.E. and REKS. Beats come courtesy of Big Drain, Miami Beat Wave, Dee Jay K-N-S, Hazardis Soundz and Davincci. The project was executive produced by DJ EFN with art direction by Skam2?.

So many bands, so little time, not enough me to go around! Today we are introducing you to Minimal - an eclectic and versatile mix of indie and alternative rock with electronic flirtations embodied in drum machines, sequencers and samplers, made extra special by adding Spanish lyrics on top.

Our respected friends at the Miami New Times described them as: “the tastiest bitter-sweet candy for fans of wall-flower angst electropop,” and you know we love angst – especially when it comes with a side of electropop … the fizzles make us giggle.

Minimal has been pounding pavements and generating gigs since the good old days way back in 2006.  Three albums deep, their debut: “Fotos Cartas Y Un Puñal,” got them recognition as Best New Band in Batanga.com.

The single “El Cubo” earned radio play on alternative stations across this great country and even MTV Tr3s aired the video. The second single, “No Sonar,” rotated on Fuel TV and was later released via Minimal’s MySpace profile, landing them a feature mention on MySpace Latino in April 2008 – making it a double-run for these guys in their first inning on the indie music league.

At this point, you’ve got to be high on something wicked not take advantage of your debut’s momentum, which is why 2009 ushered in their sophomore release: “Hermoso Caos.” Literal translation: “Gorgeous Chaos.” Very fitting given the great run they had experienced.  Released on their YouTube channel, Minimal performed live all four tracks under the surveillance of 15 digital cameras.

Here’s where they won us over:

For the “Hermoso Caos” promotional tour, Minimal created a Blue Space Man that accompanied the group to shows and interviews. The character was featured on a variety of graffiti and wheat-pasting pieces throughout the country, and was used as the main character on the very cool “Satelite” video. On an internationally televised stunt in 2010, the Blue Space Man and Minimal sneaked past security at the MTV Latin America Video Music Awards, walking through the event’s red carpet, and into the backstage area.

High five, Minimal. High-freaking-five, indeed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nu5g_H-acFo

Now in all viable corners of the Internet you can find Minimal’s third and most recent endeavor: “Antibalas Corazon.” The self-produced six track EP was mixed by Sebastian Krys, who is a five-time Grammy Award winner but who’s counting, and Dan Escauriza of the renowned Chicago IV Lab Studios.

“Antibalaz Corazon“ is the band’s most energetic album to date, incorporating fast paced tempos and a mountain of textures through the use of synths, drum machines, samplers and the traditional rock elements that characterize the band’s sound.

Give ‘em a little listen here, and see why Antisteez decided to spread their message.  Tell us what you think in the comments below. Catch you when I catch you.

GARCIA “Off The Beaten Path” EP release party
Date: 1.25.12
Venue: The Stage 170 NE 38th St Miami Fl 33137

CYNE formed in the summer of 2001, within the longtime hardcore/punk/d.i.y. tradition of Gainesville and collectively embrace a stylistic range that includes everything from prog to pop to metal. These cultural informers collided with CYNE’s practice of sampling and live instrumentation to create music that is the cumulative representation of both the personal and the political.

CYNE (“Cultivating Your New Experience”) has collaborated with artists from around the world, including Nujabes, whose solo projects have featured Cise Star and Akin, Four Tet, who produced several remixes for and toured with them in 2005 and a ton of our homeys from the 305 like Seven Star, Manuvers and Soarse Spoken. The group’s debut release was a hard-hitting 12” entitled ‘African Elephants’ . Since then, CYNE has released a number of EPs, singles, and two critically well-received albums.

For those that are constantly mentioning how the 1993 Podcast changed their life, you’re about to change your minds. Once a month DJ Guilletine blesses all of us with a mix commemorating one of the golden years of Hiphop. We sit back and between him and I we do mad research on all of the banging albums released said year and we pick out the dopest tunes and he makes love to his turntables. Now… apparently since we began doing this, you guys have jumped on these mixes ASAP and lived religiously by them.

Well, this week (year), 1995, GZA dropped Liquid Swords, Mobb Deep dropped The Infamous, Group Home dropped Livin’ Proof, Raekwon dropped OB4CL and… do I really need to continue? I’m going out on a limb here and saying this might out shine the 1993 one… What do you think?
