PRODUCED BY JAY DEE (AKA )

The heads have made a demand. The standard vocal version of “” is not enough to satisfy their thirst for Jay Dee beats. They said an instrumental version has to be released, and luckily is willing to supply the material to fill this request.

John “” Yancey, younger brother of late, great genius producer James Yancey (aka Jay Dee, J Dilla), recently released his debut . Rhyming and singing over a treasure trove of previously untouched Jay Dee gems, the project represents both a full-circle collaboration and a whole new beginning in the story of the musically exceptional Yancey brothers.

Michael Ross says, “...Anyone who loves Jay Dee’s music is going to flip out when they hear what Illa J’s been laying down. For over a decade these beats have been waiting in the vault for this moment. It’s like Jay Dee made these tracks with an extrasensory purpose, so that Illa J could make this album. There is no question that this is exactly what they were meant for. These beats belong to Illa J, they’re his birthright, and I really believe Jay Dee would be proud of what his brother is doing.”

Who Is This Man? In this case, the man is John Robinson. Formerly known as Lil Sci from Scienz of Life, a group who had put out records on Bobbito Garcia’s Fondle ‘Em imprint and Sub Verse Music in the late 90s and early 2000s. Robinson later went on to release his debut solo album I Am Not For Sale, followed by a collaborative effort called Lil Sci and Carlos Niño present What’s The Science? After working with John on previous projects such as King Ghedoraah and multiple Scienz of Life , MF Doom suggested they embark on a full-length concept album, to be executive produced by The Villain himself where Lil Sci would take on his government name, John Robinson. The result is Who Is This Man?, an incredible group of songs produced entirely by Doom, with DJ Rhetmatic of the World Famous Beat Junkies laying down all the cuts. The album was completed four years ago but due to complications it remained in limbo and unreleased. Fast forward to 2009 and the project has been picked up by the good folks at High Water Music and will finally get the official release it deserves. Who Is This Man? showcases Doom’s diversity as a producer and contains arguably the best display of his talents from behind the boards since his debut album Doomsday. From the dark tone of “Black Gold” to the melodic love tale of “There She Goes”, this album is filled with Doom’s signature sound bites and production style. He also lends a verse to the album’s closing track “Sorcerers”. John Robinson shows incredible lyrical range throughout the album, like on “Indy 102” where he breaks down the indie Hip Hop grind or on the aforementioned “Black Gold” with its social commentary on the war for oil. Join John Robinson and MF Doom on this journey and see if you can figure out who this man really is...

Traffic Entertainment presents The Memphis Sounds Ike’s Moods, an all-instrumental collection of ’ most well-known songs. In a similar vein as the Ultimate Breaks & Beats Instrumentals album, Ike’s Moods takes the best from Isaac Hayes’ catalog and transforms them into instrumental gems. Just as Hayes defined and soul in the 60s and 70s, the members of The Memphis Sound have carved out their own unique contemporary sound that not only attracts a younger generation to the genres, but also pleases fans of the sounds since their inception. Consisting of members from El Michels Affair, the Dap Kings, and Anti Balas, these instrumentalists have been a part of a movement of neo-wave funk and soul , redefining the sound through projects with Mark Ronson (his most recent album Version) and Amy Winehouse (Back to Black, as well as touring with the singer); reworking classic instrumentals for the Wu-Tang Clan on a series of 7” records and performing live alongside the clansmen; and other various live and studio recorded projects. Ike’s Moods contains such classics as “Shaft,” “Walk On By,” and “Look Of Love,” and aptly pays homage to the many moods and musical stylings of Hayes. An innovator of his time, Isaac Hayes is most known for his work on the music for Shaft whose theme song was made famous by its wah-wah guitar and multi-layered symphonic arrangement. Passing away in August 2008, Hayes left behind a career that spanned an extensive discography, filmography, and a handful of awards including three Grammy’s, an NAACP Image Award, and an Academy Award. Celebrate the career of this American music icon who defined the funk and soul genres with Ike’s Moods.

This is not an easy task – for every one hundred stage or lab band records you find (when you’re lucky to find them, as they were micro-pressed and never properly distributed outside of the region where the school in question sat), perhaps you’ll find five interesting ones. Out of every hundred interesting tracks you hear, maybe five will contain a little magic. Out of every hundred magical tracks, maybe twenty deserve reissue.

You can tell we’ve been working on this compilation for years, right?

We follow in the footsteps of Cali-Tex’s School House Funk volumes and Now-Again Records proper exhumation of the legendary Houston, Texas-based Kashmere Stage Band’s nigh-perfect repertoire. We’ve assembled a compilation that we feel gives a great cross section of the stage band and jazz ensemble movement in America. A movement meant to educate children and hone their musical talents. A movement that, sadly, has all but disappeared.

We present you with white bands, black bands, mixed bands... bands from well endowed universities and those from impoverished, overlooked high schools... bands from the sticks and those from the bricks... Bands who obviously worshipped James Brown and those who inspired by Cream.

We’ve focused on the era between 1968 and 1975 for this compilation. But this is only the beginning. Let’s hope it doesn’t take us a decade to find enough to make it to volume two.

If Redd was the king of the party record during the 50s and 60s, then certainly Rudy Ray Moore upped the ante during the 70s with a succession of triple-X-rated platters that were so hot most stores “Eat Out More Often” could only sell them under the counter, even during the height of the CD: TEG 9907 / LP: KST 001 sexual revolution. His best routines, usually spoken in rhyme, “Petey Wheatstraw OST” presaged the Rap revolution in music by years, while his acting roles, CD: TEG 9910 / LP: MD 112 which include starring in “Dolemite”, its sequel “The Human Tornado” “The Player - The Hustler” and “Petey Wheatstraw”, remain as some of the greatest blaxploita- CD: TEG 9916 tion movies of all time. Among his comedy releases were “Eat Out More Often”, “The Player - The Hustler”, and now finally available for the first time on CD, “This Pussy Belongs To Me”. Rudy Ray Moore, the world’s first comedian to take a bold approach at comedy using the many expressions of the ghetto in great monologues, thus making these expressions a form of art, sadly died of complications from diabetes on October 19, 2008. He will surely be missed...

So he pulled out his phonebook and called some friends to make it a debut to remember. Featuring Hip Hop legends such as Chubb Rock and Big Shug (Gang Starr Foundation) and newcomers like I, Hannibal/730 and Black El (Head Turners), Grimey holds his own with his fellow rappers as well as by himself, produced entirely by upcoming South Brookline, MA artist Max Powers.

Boston funk and soul revival band The Chicken Slacks have established themselves as a fixture in local funk lore as the band that succeeded the legendary Little Joe Cook in the Thursday residency spot at the historic Cambridge, MA nightclub, The Cantab. With their sound firmly rooted in the Stax and Memphis sound, the seven-piece group's influences range from funk (Eddie Bo) to boogie rock (Creedence, Beefheart), reflected here in the selection of cover tunes, interspersed with originals. Their Cantab residence is jammed every week, the unpretentious, sweaty crowd of regulars filling the dance floor, the band providing the grooves, funk & soul that keep them coming back.

Named after a misheard lyric from "Twistin' the Night Away" (“he's dancing with the chick in slacks”), they are championed by Boston DJ Brother Wayne, notorious in funk 45 circles as having more than his share of "holy grail" sides in his possession at any given time, and who hears that something in these guys' live sets that sets him off.
