"Freestyle Fellowship are a rap group from Los Angeles consisting of rappers Aceyalone, Myka Nyne (aka Mikah 9), P.E.A.C.E., Self Jupiter and producer J Sumbi. Their vocal techniques focusing on the method of the freestyle, as well as a successful infusion of hip hop and jazz, established the group as forerunners in the sub-genre of jazz rap, and also placed them amongst prominent West Coast underground hip hop acts of the early 1990s like Hieroglyphics, Abstract Rude & Tribe Unique, and The Pharcyde. They are part of a hip hop collective known as Project Blowed." More info here

MonoPoly & Illum Sphere - Producer No. 2 Part 3 (2009)

1. Mono/Poly - Oil Field
2. Illum Sphere - Medusa

Link Is Down After Request From The Artist

Nuggets of the good stuff from the more esoeteric fringes of hip-hop and electrnica courtesy of the hotly tipped Illum Sphere and Beat Dimension contribtor Mono/Poly. 'Medusa' follows the dilated scope of Illum Sphere's 'Incoming EP' with a post-Dilla blend of deeply bumped bass kicks and beautiful gamelan-like bells constructed with a post-rock/electronica sense of arrangement. Mono/Poly's 'Oil Fields' on the flip opts for a slo-sleazin' electro-soul vibe like Lone or the Thriller series gone horny. Big!

Spencer Bellamy is The East Flatbush Project. Originally
part of Howie Tee’s “Count Disco” crew, Bellamy started
out in the music biz by deejaying block parties in
Brooklyn, NY throughout the 80s, and by 1989 he was making
beats. Best known for the underground classic “Tried By
12″ from 1996 which featured the rapper Des, The East
Flatbush Project has only released top quality Hip Hop,
all of which only came out on 12″ vinyl and always
featured excellent unknown rappers. First Born (Overdue):
Deluxe Edition is a collection of the tracks that Bellemy
has released over the years, along with five additional
songs that never made it to wax, two remixes of “Tried by
12″ that were available on a UK-only single and as an
added, and very special bonus, the seldom-seen video for
“Tried by 12″. Along with being the founder and CEO of
10/30 Uproar Music (the label that put out all the EFBP
records) Bellemy has made beats for Jay-Z, Foxy Brown,
Styles P, Sauce Money, Memphis Bleek and more. There were
six official 10/30 Uproar Music singles in all, and every
main version from those records are featured on this
compilation, including the sought after instrumental for
“Tried By 12″. The first release was “A Madman’s Dream”
backed with “Can’t Hold Back” which came out in 1994, and
ever since The East Flatbush Project has been a symbol of
Hip Hop in its purest form: No gimmicks and no gadgets,
just straight beats, straight rhythms, and a whole lotta
head noddin’. That’s what it’s about… Enough said, other
than this: All tracks produced by the one and only Spencer
Bellamy.

One of the country's most explosive and eclectic live acts have completed their immensely anticipated debut album, Concrete Jungle. Following on from their successful EP in 2006, Concrete Jungle has taken Diafrix's iconic concoction of African roots, hip-hop & story-telling and developed it into a truly world-class product.

The group – which heralds from the sketchy Melbourne suburb of Footscray - comprises two frontmen, Momo and Azmarino. Both are African refugees but have lived through struggles which are worlds apart. Momo arrived in Australia with his family at the age of three after fleeing their homeland of the Comoros Islands. His background and culture left him feeling isolated in a community which was not yet accustomed to African migration. Azmarino, on the other hand, originally hails from Eritrea and arrive in Australia earlier this decade after a life of hunting citizenship throughout countries like Jordan, Italy and Switzerland.

Definitely not the typical story of an Aussie band, but one that reflects an under-represented and growing community of first generation Australians.

The incredible title track from their upcoming debut album, Concrete Jungle, professes wise words from the lips of two African refugees who have had more than their fair share of individual struggles. Rather than accepting the lay of the cards, this is an anthem for pushing through the hard times and coming out on top.

Diafrix come with a one-in-a-million story which has shaped them into a one-in-a-million act, and Concrete Jungle is the gripping first chapter in what promises to be an incredible saga.
