Music Monday

*EDIT* May Park Edit is LIVE!


Busy busy week this week, midterms looming, research papers in need of initiation, and a Portland trip planned Thursday. A laid back weekend didn't help prepare me either, managed to ride incredible spring conditions over at Bach and even though I mistakenly waxed my snowboard with surf wax I still had a ball in the park. The Roommate, a.k.a Scooby, a.k.a Jasper had his style all the way turnt up and I was filming him for some park sesh so expect an edit up here as soon as he gets it toghether.

In the mean time, in between times, we got some tunes.

First up: new Onra!! A producer of the French persuasion, this cat rips it up on production and slayed with his first album Chinoseries. (which I highly recommend) Dilla-esque in nature, Chinorseries fused a hip hop and soul formula with eastern sounds. In his upcoming album, Long Distance, the feel is much more soul-centered but none the less solid as heard on his singles Long Distance & High Hopes. Enjoy.

Onra & Olivier Daysoul - Long Distance


Onra - High Hopes ft. Reggie B


Next are some tracks from the recently deceased Nujabes, a Japanese producer who was probably most known for his tracks being sampled by the late night [adult swim] commercails, as well as the anime Samurai Champloo. R.I.P 'jabes

Nujabes Tribute - Rest In Peace - 1974 - 2010


Nujabes - Flowers


And as a finisher, some joints from 40 waters newest albums Revenue Retrievin: Day & Night Shift. One of hip hop's most unorthodox ryhmers, I could not get enough of the new joints in the park this weekend. His viscous, drippy, bubble gum sweet style makes for excellent music to ride, rip, and dip to.

E-40 - Hes A Gangsta (Ft. The Boy Boy Young Mess, The Jacka, Kaveo)


E-40 - Lightweight Jammin (ft. Clyde Carson & Husalah)


E-40 - Duck
