D/L: Future – “Same Damn Time” [Busted by HeRobust]

Chris Mills — Tue, 22 May 2012 16:25:52 +0000

The latest “bust” remix from Georgia’s HeRobust challenges what’s probably the hottest rap artist in the South right now in Future. You may remember a couple of remixes we recently featured from HeRobust in recent weeks (HERE), which we absolutely loved. But on this latest reworking, HeRobust takes the trap out of Future’s original and breaks out the bro-step. In the same damn breath, this “Same Damn Time” bust would probably go over well in the right room, but I’m not sure there’s too much anyone could do to make Future’s track worth more than a couple of listens. Sorry, I just really dislike Future. With that being said, be your own judge and listen below. You can also download the track for free if you “like” HeRobust’s facebook page (linked in the first mention of his name).

PREVIEW: Dat Jam Vol. 2 @ The Bottleneck in LK [05.18.12]

Chris Mills — Tue, 15 May 2012 16:50:45 +0000

The second edition of the Dat Gang events will probably be one of the more accurate representations of KC/LK hip hop that The Bottleneck, or any venue in Lawrence, has seen in quite a while. All the Datura Records affiliates listed on this flyer are more than capable of wrecking a live show. But if we had to pick three names on this flyer that we would encourage you to check out specifically, they would be:

1. The Skeptics – This sizable group of young MCs from Top-City aka Topeka, KS known as The Skeptics are a breath of fresh air, and keep us on the edge of our blogging seat in anticipation for not only what they’ll drop next but who the next talented artists will be to peek their heads out of The Top. Download their fantastic “1990Now” Mixtape with Johnny Quest, RIGHT HERE.

2. ID (of Archetype) – You already know how great Archetype’s final album was, released just a couple of months ago. As the rapping, one-half of Lawrence’s adored hip hop group, Archetype, it’s quite rare to catch ID doing a live show anywhere anymore. This will be a treat for any of the hip hop faithful residing West of State Line.

3. Bear Club – The multi-dimensional tribe called Bear Club have their hands in a lot of things right now with Tom Richman and Morri$’ trap beats causing beat makers across the country and overseas to drop what they’re doing and take note. But for this slot, we’re not sure whether to expect a performance from Ebony Tusks, Strider or some off-kilter remixes from the Bear Club selectors. Maybe all of the aforementioned? If that’s the case, the Bottleneck will be gushing swag on Friday night.

D/L: Ludacris – “Georgia” [BUSTED by heRobust]

Chris Mills — Mon, 14 May 2012 18:25:52 +0000

Atlanta’s heRobust has been dishing out some really, really amazing beats lately. But expect that dishing to turn into nothing short of an all-out assault on the global beat game very soon with surely enough material to keep us all enthralled for the rest of the year and beyond. His latest “BUST” reps his state to the fullest, taking on Ludacris’ Ray Charles-referenced, “Georgia”, and twisting it into a glitch-hop inferno. Look out for his upcoming duo project with Kansas City’s own beat maker extraordinaire, Leonard DStroy, under the guise “Supachip”.

PREVIEW: Big K.R.I.T. @ The Granada in LK [07.16.12]

Chris Mills — Mon, 14 May 2012 17:47:34 +0000

Mississippi’s favorite (perhaps after David Banner), Big K.R.I.T., pretty much destroyed Crossroads KC at the Section 8 Concert last summer. His new album, “4 Eva N A Day”, is chalk-full of the country-tinged floaters and Southern-fried bangers that we’ve become accustomed to. As one of the new faces of Southern rap, K.R.I.T.’s down-to-earth, earnest music backed by a lot of his own production tend to make us think of him as a Pete Rock type, only nestled beneath the old Mason Dixon and more relevant in 2012. Rocking with K.R.I.T. while he lights up the Granada in Lawrence as part of his “Live From The Underground Tour” on July 16th is highly recommended for any hip hop head.

D/L: heRobust – “Lovers Duet” (ft. 2Pac & Notorious B.I.G.)

Chris Mills — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 18:48:46 +0000

We’ve got bad news for producer/remixer types. It’s not everyday that I get this geeked over one of the many remixes and other promo tracks sent our way from around the globe. But this latest track from ATL’s heRobust might just be shitting on the entire remixing game right now. This is the first remix I’ve heard in a while that deserves its own music video. Uploaded last night, we’re not sure what project this will be on. But if you’re a DJ specifically, this track is begging for your spins. Pairing Biggie’s “Crush On You” with 2Pac’s “Do For Love” with some extra juice thrown in for good measure, “Lovers Duet” is just about perfect. Quite simply, this is just too good. Get it NOW.

OTHR & Front Space Present Blank/Face [05.05.12]

Chris Mills — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 19:44:25 +0000

DRplus2, Osiris-1 and DJ Maangoman are chalked in to throw down some beats at the Front Space gallery on Cinco De Mayo in the Crossroads district of KC. Starting at 7:00, this should unfold as nothing short of a showcase of of just three of the finest electronic beat-makers out of KC. While we’re not sure whether or not they will be playing their own tracks (we have a hunch that they will), just know that these guys have an extremely receptive taste when it comes to current EDM.

Producer/DJ stud, Leonard DStroy, and heralded drummmer, Brandon Draper, are set to make some noise on Saturday night at the KC Academy in the Waldo area of Kansas City, MO. The Grassroots Concert Series at Kansas City Academy has become a real treat. A far cry from the dingy basements and dive bars that play host to much of our live local music community, the Grassroots Concert Series is right up your alley if you’re looking for great music, unpredictable Q&A sessions with the performing artists and serves as a wonderful alternative for anyone getting burned out in “the scene”. Check the video above for a preview of what you’re getting yourself into this Saturday night at KCA.
