Mecca:83 - Midnight Kids ft Kan Sano & Buscrates

I won't brag and say how much you should be up on this cat, but based on what I heard via his bandcamp, Mecca:83 got something for beat heads like myself and others. His approach at beat making translates to a finely polished collective of instrumentals, some with vocal samples that clearly draw influences from producers, Peter Rock, Flying Lotus, JDilla, Large Pro and a host of others which soothe  the soul as well as get your head bobbing. "Midnight Kids" is featured on his Life Sketches Vols. 1&2 (available now) as a bonus track, but as a thank you to all his supporters, he decided to release this one for free. Featuring the talents of Tokyo based producer/pianist Kan Sano and Pittsburgh's finest beat technician Buscrates 16-Bit Ensemble, this gem is sure to have you seeking more from M:83. Get your free download of the track here and follow him if you feel his work on twitter Solarsounds. Another dope album just added to my to get list.

Iman Williams - Stupid Human Tricks

Yesterday, unexepectedly, Alabama native, Iman Williams released her long awaited album Stupid Human Tricks. The last time I chatted with Iman via twitter, she wasn't quite sure when the album would release - label issues was one of the circumstances I remeber holding up the release. Well, obviously things worked out for the good, and the album is well worth the wait. Stupid Human Tricks is a fusion of spacey, soul, funked-out hip hop beats in conjunction with Iman's melodic tone and harmonies carressing them. I'm definitely going to support Iman's project and I recommend you give it a listen and support it as well.
