Bump Casts, Videos, and New tracks from Associated Minds, 7even Thirty, Oddisee, Dag Sav

The crew at Associated Minds have been exceptionally busy as ever, thier latest newsletter is packed with illness including Ralph Ripshit Lemonface's Album release and this excellent 'Bump Cast' featuring some of raps current hardest hitters such as Action Bronsen on a Metabeats production, Kendrick Lamar, Reks, Nas, Homeboy Sandman, EL-P and many more. Very tasty and packaged with some mind bending artwork    from Hopfences (check the eyeball above!). DagSav has released a free mixtape for ya to download, and judging by the flows on this video should be worth checking out here.

7even Thirty has had album track 'Nightmare' remixed by Oddisee and has put the track up for free download. To be honest its a bit to glitchy sounding for me but the lyrics are pretty interesting, check the Mello Music Group pages for more.

Havent really got to grips with Soundcloud yet but DMH certainly has; his solid Westcoast sounds has got gangs of people commenting on the tracks he's uploaded.....anyways all pretty rugged and 'Who takes the Blame' is pretty soulful with some thoughtful lines....though not much other information; go make up your own minds at Here. 

7evenThirty ft Sleepy Will & Kamikaze

Taken from "Heavens Computer" concept LP, 7evenThirty comes hard on "Mysterious Business" ft Sleepy Will and hits a cord with anyone tired of turning on the radio to hear the same artists again and again..."Original, what the fuck is that?" This callabo track takes the rap music industry to task from the point of view of hardcore independent lyricists. Trying to get rich off rap, rapping about selling drugs but wearing "jeans uncomfortably snug" these guys are calling out some serious failings in the culture. "I feel like giving up" is one of the disillusioned opening lines in this track, but these guys really shouldn't. Smooth flows over a wicked moody beat, (I cant embed the audio at the moment...holla at solocypher@gmail.com if you can help)....so click the link above and go check it!
