Saukrates - The Underground Tapes (UK Version)

The finest MC to ever hail from Canada compiled his best underground works to give to the masses in this hard to find LP. His style very reminiscent of a top notch New York MC of the mid to late 90's, Saukrates holds his own next to some of the big apples best, and one of the west's nicest. Everyone from Masta Ace, Common, Xzibit and Pharoahe Monch stop through to assist Saukrates, but the true highlights of the tape are when Sauk zones out on his own. Anyone doubting the hip-hop cred that this Canadian-born, lyrical juggernaut wields hasn't heard his stuff.

Mos Dub (produced by Max Tannone)

Max Tannone continues his streak of awesome mash-up albums with his newest release, Mos Dub. At the title suggests, this is a mash-up of the work of Mos Def with reggae and dub songs. Like his previous mash up project, Jaydiohead, Max Tannone’sMos Dub doesn’t sound like a mash-up, and I mean that in the best possible way. It’s as if the original songs were created for the purpose of putting together this album. Each song is seamless.

Check out Mos Dub website, some other mixtapes are also available. Thanks Max!

The best part is that this Mos Dub mixtape is available for free! Download Mos Dub HERE!
And the instrumentals are available as well. Download Mos Dub Instrumentals HERE!

Calamarfarci Records 3 - Ragga Jungle

Calamarfarci Records 3 gathers the best Ragga Jungle tunes my ragga junglist friends and I could find. Selection has been though but here you are...15 songs around 180 bpm with ragga-reggae melodies, and about 80 minutes of great music. Download it here, and spread the link around.

The Ragga Jungle style is credited with engaging the black community within the Jungle scene, and contributed to the 'bad boy' or 'rude boy' subculture within the UK. Ragga Jungle's popularity waned significantly since 1995 in the UK. Ragga Jungle is now a niche sound, with a small number of labels releasing music that can be categorised in this manner. Prominent producers of this new-school sound are continuing to build bridges, often re-voicing classic reggae singers to produce new works for exclusive use (as "Dubplates") and retail sale as 12" vinyl singles and downloadable mp3's.
