Part of the growing Beast Coast movement of young and newer MCs that are moving toward a more jazzy and throwback sound in the NYC area, Phony Ppl continue to drop projects that play to the more laid back hip hop fan. It feels good to have a new generation of kids who appreciate non-dance-club tracks that the more everyday hip hop fan can enjoy. Check out their most recent team effort "nothinG special" below and check the new video by Phony Ppl emcee Elbee Thrie. There is a very Pharcyde meets ATCQ vibe about these cats, so get some more mellow vibes in your life.

Listen: Suff Daddy X Ta-ku - "Bricks + Mortar" EP
Beat maker extraordinaires Suff Daddy and Ta-ku recently teamed up for a split EP recorded in Sydney and Perth, Australia. The backstory of the collaboration is apparently when Suff moved from Berlin to Sydney last summer he quickly hooked up with Perth based producer Ta-ku, best known for his "50 Days For Dilla" project. As a result of the meeting of the minds, the "Bricks and Mortar" was produced to help unite two beat heads with different approaches to building soundscapes, but one common mission: looking for the perfect beat! Bless your Monday morning with a chilled out instrumental soundtrack.

Throwback: Living Legends - "Never Fallin"
Every once in a while, I will dig through my CDs and try to look for tracks that I forgot about and recently I came back across the 2005 album "Classic" from the Living Legends. Among the tracks, I remembered liking this track "Never Fallin" mostly because it was introspective and mellow and the type of track I feel like I can play on repeat for hours. Just because it is baseball season and I like the cover, I opened it up and found this track again. Good music for a lazy sunday.
