"HomeGrown"

I had to give some love to our own home grown artist!.
first of all Pete Philly and perquisite two hip-hop prodigies from amsterdam are back with a fresh album so here are my favorite tracks!

third degree
mystery repeats
traveller
high tide
time flies

Even beter, there masterpiece/debut Mindstate!
A laid-back album like those albums back in the days with De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest.
Every song explores different states of mind..
So here are my fav state of minds from the album.
grab this if you got a change. !

Motivated
Insomnia
Eager
Lazy
Grateful
Mindstate
Grateful II
Hope
Paranoid

Perquisite.
The duo's producer started making beats more then ten years ago in 1996.
In his music a big classical infuense is felt.. this is mainly because of his classical study. He started his own record label in 2001 and also came out with a EP called: Outta Nowhere, which he recorded with a jazz saxplayer named Benjamin Herma.

I'm Walking
Groovin' on Wax
Ornithorogy
Reminisce
Nothing to play with

Foreign Exchange
Not totaly a home grown pruduct, but this oversees collabo is truly something special! There debut called: Connected and was released in 2004. This duo exist out of the Carolina-raised MC Phonte, one-third of Little Brother,
and dutch producer Nicolay from harlem who crafts soulful, intricate backdrops that draw comparisons to producers like pete rock or jay-dee.
What makes this CD most amazing is that the entire thing was recorded without Nicolay or Phonte ever meeting. The pair first made contact over messageboard Okayplayer.com. After that just Nicolay sending Phonte beats over the Internet and they made it happen like that!
love it.

Title Theme
Raw Lifes
Sincere
The Answer
Nic's Groove
Be Alright
Hustle, Hustle
End Theme

I'm going further into the music from Producer Nicolay..
Many of his beats sound like they use elements of The Nutcracker Suit or Pete and The Wolf, he uses live instruments as well as samples. the comparisment with 9th wonder is made often but both producers work totaly different..
In the method 9th wonder uses he can produces to like 10 records a day but Nicolay is already happy when he got around 1 or 2 beats in a month.. which illustates his devotion to this beautiful craftsmenswork.. Personally I think he is more a composer then a so called producer..
Here some tracks from his debut: HERE

Here (Intro)
Give Her Everything
Good Days Are Gone
I Love You Way You Love
Let It Shine for Me
Here(Outro)

This even better!. the album: City Lights 1.5 also by Nic. a true masterpiece..
In concept it's just like a peteinstrumental or donuts! You gotta love it.
Here some outstanding tracks!!

Light It Up
There's No Guarantee
Indian Summer
Hey!
Fantastic
So Far
Memory Lane
The Sopranos
Band Practice
We Can Fly
Victory
City Lights (Reprise)

Here is another Underground group called The Strange Fruit Project! These cat's made my fav album of the year! "Breezy, cozy grooves with rich bass lines and jazzy samples." Anyway the thing is with T.S.F.P is that the music is soulful music you know the type that has so much soul as there lyrics are positive so when you combine the mellow beats from S1 it blends perfectly.. Get this peepz'

Strange Fruit Project - Under Pressure
Strange Fruit Project - Get Live ft. Erykah Badu

But before your askin yourself why I had to put that fiddler pic up.. Amp is back with sum' good stuff.. The second album is actually stronger than his debut (great as it is) the tracks laid here are for the serious organic soul fan "Faith" is a great funky foot stomper with a dirty low B-line. The awesome track titled "hustle" has a very Curtis sounding string ladened back drop.

Amp Fiddler - Faith
Amp Fiddler - Hustle
Amp Fiddler - Right Where You Are
Amp Fiddler - Find My Way
Amp Fiddler - Seven Mile

"drum machines have no soul"

I was a piano player in my last lifetime
Now I write rhymes, sip white wine and let my light shine
Travel to a place sweeter than home, listenin to Nina Simone
Souls get, found and lost at the roads they cross
Many paid dues, but few knew the costs
I ran through the Moss like Randy
Touchindown wit God, close friends, and family
Take this back and then, tell a friend
Spaces and places you've been
Time travelin...
