ARHYTHMATIK

Well ok so it’s a little late. But better late than never. Here is June’s “Can You Digg It” track. It is called “That Night” from Atmosphere. The reason I chose this one is because it is about something that happened in Albuquerque, New Mexico and me and the fam just went to Albuquerque this past month for my cousin’s wedding. I graduated high school in New Mexico and hadn’t been back for years, so it was mad interesting to go back and see what life was like in the Land of Entrapment… I mean Enchantment. I don’t know if the story told in the song is a true story, but the way Slug tells it, it seems full of real emotion- emotion that could only be felt and expressed if you really went through something like this. The song is pretty intense- but it’s really insightful too. So peep it and let me know what you think of it in the comments section.

Ok- so I decided to completely change my mind and go with a GLUE track this month. Some DOPE cats from Chicago bring you this month’s banger called “Beat Beat Beat”. Check it out! Let me know what you think of it in the comments section! It’s off of their album “Catch As Catch Can” that came out in 2006. One of my favorite groups. Support them and buy a few of their tracks from iTunes or something!

I’m still trying to decide which track I want to offer for the monthly DIG DOWN. It’s between a track from the new Atmosphere album, a Cool Calm Pete track, or a track with Scott Allen and Heath McNease. Be patient– it will be up by the end of this week! Word.

I decided to let y’all know what tracks I’ve been digging lately. Some may be old and outdated, some may be new and fresh. Either way, the tracks represent something that I love about music or hip hop culture. I’m probably breaking tons of copyright laws by doing this– but wutevers. I am giving props to dope musicians and not offering any unauthorized downloads of other people’s music. Of course the tracks will all be clean, positive hip hop. So it is with pleasure I present to you the first ever DIG DOWN:

 

This month’s song comes to you from One Be Lo. A dope MC out of Pontiac, Michigan. This track is off his last album S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M. He has a new album out called “Rebirth” but I haven’t really been digging it that much. Either way, this track is called “Rocketship” and is just the pure essence of dope hip hop– from the beat, to the rhyming, to the lyrics– it’s just good ol’ fashioned dope hip hop. A classic track all around.
