Found in the inbox, a little instrumental groove to get your day rolling.
“J Rawls gives fans a free download for Hotel Beats Vol. 1 presented by clothing powerhouse, Mighty Healthy NYC. Comprised of 21 instrumentals that were made completely from a hotel room less than two months ago, J Rawls also premieres his joint with John Robinson for the duo’s JAY ARE project, which is a Hip-Hop ode to jazz music, dropping on Polar Ent./Groove Attack on September 15th, for their song ‘The Lee Morgan Story.’”

TSS, you don’t know how major this is around my camp. 1.
why’s that fam?
I’ve known dude for a minute and I know how true he is to himself, the culture and his sound. I know how uncomprimising he is to his work and to see it making waves on sites like these, the new radio, is affirming, inspiring and deserved. This is like a God kiss to me.
This is a good look… What’s up with a new Lone Catalysts album?

^ Thanks… mad props.
I’ll be waiting for the album. I used to play their stuff heavy when I was in college.
I like it when what we cover turns up a personal connection & people share their stories. Always makes me look & listen in a different light.
Word.
Two of the more slept-on producers–Chief X-Cel from Blackalicious/Quanum projects… J Rawls. Rawls was doin that feel good soul samplin b4 most. and doin’ it better. He’s got some tracks that’re as good as anything Dilla’s done. (sacrilege I know but sue me.)
hottest beat cd in a long time
