Dert - Talk Strange (A Beat Tape Inspired by Björk)

The L.A. Producer is back with several (17) new instrumental treats to bless you with. No stranger to the concept beat tape, the follow up to The Westside Of The Moon is an instrumental adventure using samples of Iceland's quirky queen, Bjork. I can honestly say this is a great listen from start to finish. Share this with your friends. Use it to sharpen your skills, or to simply zone out, both are appropriate. Let Dert know what you think by hitting him up on myspace.com/dertbeats. Shout out to the good people at strictlybeats.blogspot.com

BlakFace Music Group Presents: DJ Semaj - Patent Leather Soul (The Lost Files)

Download DJ Semaj Patent Leather Soul

DJ Semaj, a great friend of the Northwest Hip-Hop scene, starts off 2009 in a soulful manner. These 10 beats (12 tracks total) reenforce the fact that we're dealing with a student of music. Semaj makes no apologize for his technique and vehemently defends his sound. The sound from which hip-hop itself was birthed. A man and his crates. Pulling out a slew of classic rhythm and blues records, Semaj laces the sample hungry, while simultaneously minding those who fiend for a good "slap". So click the link and enjoy your late Christmas present from DJ Semaj, BlakFace Music Group, and The good folks at Drop-Bomb.com.

Missing in Action: DERT - The Seattle Situation

Smizzy hit me up and 'respectfully' cursed me out for putting the wrong name up. Lol. Lord knows I don't remember shit. Wait, what is this post about? *looks at title*. Oh yeah. So that beat that Mike destroyed (look out for smizzy to put a verse down sometime tonight, posted tomorrow hopefully) was on this tape we found floating around. We don't know who it is, but he's pretty good.
