This beat is bonkers! Chi-town representatives Mc/producer Rashid Hadee and producer Radius rock the crowd with some proper freestyle business. Midwest does it again.
2 Hungry Bros My Crew’s All Thinner [sharebee]
Señor Kaos “Wanderin Soul”
Homeboy Sandman “Parall”
Got this one from Kaos recently and it’s fresh. Production duo 2 Hungry Bros deliver this “rare groove mixtape” with nothing but dusty breaks and a whole lotta mc’s rocking over them in song form. This is an iPod banger and the attention to detail and presentation makes it a lot of fun to listen to, so check it out.

Here’s a clip of 88 Keys making the beat for “Deal Breakers” from his 2008 mixtape Adam’s Case Files. Some serious MPC chopping goin’ on here.

If you came up in the Midwest, particulary in the Northwest Indiana/Chicago area, then All Natural‘s “50 Years” was a monumental classic record for you as a hip-hop fan. I remember hearing it on WGCI late night on the Rap Down (wooowwwww, I just took it back!) and taping it on the Memorex w/ the yellow labels (I just took it back AGAIN). The beat is a monster, of course. The lyrics are insane. Cap D got deeply prophetic about the times ahead for his crew and their place in the hip-hop game. Here is a documentary on the song’s creation and origins. Midwest, stand up!
Apollo Brown Skilled Trade [zshare]
“We Almost Lost Detroit (RIP J Dilla)”
“Spoiled Coffee”
“From One To Won”
Spotted @ strictlybeats.
Detroit producer Apollo Brown dropped this free beat tape last year, and I just got hip to his production from Danny Brown’s “Contra“, which we upped here a little while ago. Some rugged beats to start your week with.
