“Evil Needle is the master of sexy beats, although this album is a bit more eclectic. So how did I not post this album? I was enjoying it to the max, keeping it selfishly. I have no excuse…Please forgive me and get your own copy”

“Lo Phi has created a gift for your mind. He understands that your neurons want to fire into bright blazes lighting up the purple night sky. They are shouting to the universe, “yes, we’re here and we’re smashing the so called limits of brain capacity. We’re using it all at once, hopscotching and crackling like trillion legged lightning storms. Let’s exist in the past and future at once and know that at any moment we’re balanced right in between, smiling at how lucky we are to spend our time spinning on this watery marble. Well for this life at least. Next time we’ll be a bit of stardust floating silently through the deeply draped darkness of space.”

The name Man of The Downtrodden keeps popping up all around in things I’m involved with. First, I noticed him (and really enjoyed his contribution) on the Sole Glow Collective Compilation Volume One. Then, he played Exploded Drawing IX (with well know DJ and Detroit representer House Shoes) and rocked it proper like.
After finding out he was mutual friends with my main man Collin Williams, I decided it was time to do some musical research. Guess who wins out on this one… not sure? Everyone! This is some dope music.
30Beats30Days really got my attention. Check it out for yourself:

“Sole Glow Collective is a community of innovative artists in multiple mediums. We love the modern beat/electronic scene! We are vinyl collectors, beatmakers, DJs, event planners, promoters, clothing companies, graphic designers, and everything between. Our hopes are to set up a global network where we can all help support each other’s work, and get you shaking hands to have your vision manifest.”
I am so glad to be a part of this compilation. Many of my good producer friends are on here as well, and there are many more producers from all over the world. Close to an hour and a half of music, this is a MUST HAVE compilation, and I’m not just saying that because I’m on it. Download, listen, share, repeat.

The one and only, extraordinary beatsmith known as Kinder has joined Lo Phi and Chief and TheDoomsdayDevice in the exclusive ranks of the Gilded Alliance. The brainchild of Glory Gold & Glitter creator Michael Scheel, the series is a chance for each producer to create a unique project, and for a piece of artwork to be created specifically for the project. Volume 3 is definitely keeping the quality bar high both visually and musically… check it out for yourselves:

from the digital desk of A Better Tomorrow :
“Peking Opera is an album produced entirely by A Better Tomorrow. It features the following underground artists: Admir Bonsoir (aka Mista Mista) of Virginia, CM aka Creative of NY and Streets Graffiti of Connecticut. It’s a compilation designed to introduce you to the recording artists who have all worked closely with ABT since 2007 and whom each will have upcoming solo releases exclusively produced by A Better Tomorrow. Peking Opera is inspired by traditional Chinese theatre which featured troupes of diverse performers who demonstrated their skills in prose, music and combat.”
This is a BANGER, and a free download at that… why don’t you have it already?

“This is a collection of beats created on my first MPC from 2005-2006. It is the second of a four-part series that progresses through time up until the release of my beat tape in 2009. It is also a thank you for the overwhelming support I have recieved up to this point.”
Thank you,
