So Kanye West’s forthcoming album Yeezus, set for release on 6.18.13, has a few good songs on it. Favorite? Probably between “On Site,” and “Guilt Trip.” Gotta side with Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone’s sentiments on the record:

“immediately stunning [...] he created a polarizing, multi-layered body of work that probably will be debated all summer.”[25] Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone called Yeezus a “brilliant, obsessive-compulsive career auto-correct,” comparing it to similarly abrasive records: “Every mad genius has to make a record like this at least once in his career – at its nastiest, his makes Kid A or In Utero or Trans all look like Bruno Mars.”

Machinedrum – “Clissold VIP” – APHAVIP003 // Azealia Banks – “NO PROBLEMS Prod. By MACHINEDRUM”

It has been a couple months since we’ve published any music by Machinedrum. The song above definitely called for it though.

Historically, electronic music that has received any kind of mainstream attention has been laughably cheesy, with the occasional decent song getting high-volume exposure. Lately music by producers that were pretty much off the pop radar for years is getting picked-up by well-known and respected rappers. Commercial hip hop has needed instrumentals with respectable electronic production techniques and influence for years now. Glad to see that day has finally arrived.

GHOSTPOET Sophia Spring 0081 web Ghostpoet Announces Album Mini Mix + Tour Dates


New album ‘Some Say I So I Say Light’ out May 6th on Play It Again Sam
UK Tour Dates Announced


Pre Order: ghostpoet.co.uk

Two years on from the release of his Mercury nominated debut, ‘Peanut Butter Blues and Melancholy Jam’, Ghostpoet aka Obaro Ejimiwe announces ‘Meltdown’ – the first single from his sophomore album ‘Some Say I So I Say Light’ which will be released on the 6th May 2013 through Play It Again Sam. To whet appetites for the release, Ghostpoet has put together a mini mix of the album made available from ghostpoet.co.uk.

‘Meltdown’ is the disarmingly honest tale of one of those break-ups where both parties simply drift apart. Scarring lyrics “you and me weren’t meant to be and someone somewhere knew it from the start” expertly encapsulate everyman honesty of thought, emotion, and shoulder-shrug acceptance of failed love. On ‘Some Say I So I Say Light’, which was co-produced with the talented Richard Formby (Wild Beasts, Darkstar, Egyptian Hip-Hop) we see Ghostpoet’s talent has truly blossomed and that he’s pushing the boundaries even further in all directions. Immediately captivating and uniquely honest – the musings of Ghostpoet truly come to life when he performs live and to celebrate the release of ‘Some Say I So I Say Light.’ Ghostpoet will be headlining a European tour throughout April, May and June.
