L'Roneous & Brycon - Maart Vol.1 The World According To Gurp



Oh yes. L'Roneous is back with a short album (20 minutes) produced by Brycon (Grand Killa Con, affiliated to SF's Gurp City) and it's banging. I love L'Ron's voice and technical flow (sometimes reminiscent to Aceyalone) but since Imaginarium the productions weren't always on par with his skills. On Maart One the beats are short, catchy, and it's a perfect match...  There's also a 7'' released next week with a couple of cuts from this album. 
Special bonus points to the title who refers to a brilliant John Irving novel (you need to check that out too)... and to the fact that there's a Z-Man cameo on it.

G.I.T. ft. Street Preachers - The Warning 12''


Another question-mark one. I discovered it on Feadz' SR2 mixtape, the vinyl is quite easy to cope although I never heard of them before nor I never heard anything else made by either Get It Together Productions or the Street Preachers. It's a one-and-only shot (only one track on the 12'', self-produced and released) reminiscent of the Rubberoom / Techno Animal / indus-rap of the early 00's (it's dated of 1998 and from NYC btw).
Anyone know what happened to G.I.T.?

Chocaholics - Planting Candytrees



My cousin and I were (are) the Chocaholics. I posted our first collaborative mixtape here 5 years ago
This is the second mix, from 2003, pressed on cd-r (with a nice artwork made by him) and sold to a couple of shops online.
Although it has some technical flaws, I still kinda like it 13 years ago.. You get uptempo stuff in the beginning then as the mix advance things get slower and darker.
