    The 35-member hip-hop collective known as Quakers is out with a video for their debut single, "Fitta Happier."

    Guilty Simpson and M.E.D. take center stage with the Quakers All-Star Brass Band on this triumphant tune. Fitted in all black suits and complemented by glistening brass, glowing lights, and an old school mic, these gentlemen mean business.

    New Track: DJ Soko – “Biters” (ft. Guilty Simpson)

    April 23rd, 2012

     

    There basically might not be a such thing as too much Guilty Simpson. So of course we took a listen when we saw this "Biters" track appear in our inbox. Detroit native DJ Soko's nostalgic scratching and Dallas producer Gensu Dean's triumphant production provide the perfect backdrop for a gangsterly wobble or two. And Guilty? Is just Guilty.

    Quakers To Release Self-Titled Album

    March 15th, 2012

     

    Quakers is a 35 member hip hop collective, which centers around producers Fuzzface, 7-Stu-7 and Katalyst. Fuzzface is known to many as Geoff Barrow of the lauded Portishead, 7-Stu-7 is Portishead’s engineer, and Katalyst hails from Australia rounding out the trio for some massive sound. Peep the tracklisting for Quakers on the Stones Throw website.

    Set out to make music they cared about, the producers sought out "genuine collaborators" to form this impressive project. Their hard hitting beats seemed to have done some serious talking with the line up these guys have scored, which includes legends and up-and-comings alike. Amongst the many talents, there are: Prince Po, Booty Brown (The Pharcyde), Dead Prez, Phat Kat, Guilty Simpson, MED, Lyric Jones, Raydar Ellis, and Buff1, just to name a few.

    Take a little peek into the release with the stream for "Fitta Happier" with Guilty Simpson below! Look for the album to drop March 27.

    New Release: Eric Lau – ‘The Mission’ EP

    February 16th, 2012

     

    Obviously, you are still grooving to Eric Lau's "Yesterday" like we are - and how could you not? But now there is more where that came from.

    The Mission EP includes seven tracks with the overarching theme including Detroit rapper Guilty Simpson on the majority of the tracks. Simpson is sounding pretty incredible against these Lau beats. Folks are going to need to get to work to try to compare to these joints. Loving this!
