STYLE AND SUBSTANCE
Mr. J Dilla
His birthday is today and in remembering his death at age 32, friends created a short documentary about him and his influence on others. The rise of Common, A Tribe Called Quest, and The Pharcyde can partly be attributed to Jay's production skill and devotion to his music. Posthumously, Jay became more well known for his collaborations with Madlib while other rappers including Talib Kweli, Mos Def, and Wu-Tang Clan paid homage to Dilla by rhyming over his beats. One of my favorite Dilla tracks went unreleased until 2009 and here it is below.
He is praised as the best hip-hop beat maker ever and thinking about my favorite producers, it's difficult argue against it.
RIP J Dilla

GOOD HEAVENS
This is jogger
Based out of Los Angeles, they are just another reason why anyone in California needs to head over to Low End Theory Club (new location in San Fransisco)... ASAP! Under Daedelus' label Alpha Pup Records, Jogger mixes a wide variety of sounds from various genres including electro, folk, drum and bass, glitch, and metal to create their latest album, This Great Pressure.
Utilizing live mixing technology, guitars, and at times a violin, Jogger takes your hand and guides you through a range of emotions from anger to sadness to joyful bliss. Notable songs from the album include Gorilla Meat (above), Master and Student, Falling, and Superman. Nephicide (below) is on another level. At first the song feels like it's going to be an uplifting electro banger, however when a sinister voice is introduced....well I don't want to ruin the surprise, but I'm forewarning you something intense happens. WATCH
Pretty much all hell broke loose. I can admit that I was thoroughly confused when I first heard the song... Should I be scared? WTF IS THIS?! Then I saw the music video and everything made sense. Nephicide is a testament to capabilities of Jogger. The duo gives listeners 10 unique tracks while maintaining a sense they were birthed by the same mother. I wouldn't expect to start a dance party with This Great Pressure, but shredding any form of gnar with Jogger in your ears just makes complete sense.
happy jogging.
