Artist: knowjuander
Album: A Kid Love, beta | Download
Info: Project was completely produced by knowjuander for Genius Kid LLC. Album features “Memories,” a song originally recorded by Raymond Scott, and a vocal feature by Jarell Perry on “Determination.”
The spirit of the record is carried on the thought that when we were all kids, we truly experienced unadulterated love. The feelings we possessed as children were the most authentic. So the title implies that the work in full is the most authentic expression of (love) for, in this case, undoubtedly, hip hop that could be shown. The usage of “beta” as a suffix on this project has more than the mere meaning that this project is in a user-tested phase. Loosely, though, there is the desire for those who pick up this project to try it out, try to understand not only the material, but the artist also. Moreover, to try to give the same energy to their crafts, whether it musical or not.
Personal highlights of the record are “This Long Keep On” and “Determination,” as well as the powerful brag-swag track, “Drummer… A Little Bit.”
From the production angle I would definitely highlight “A Little Bit… More,” as it may have been the most difficult of the samples to chop that were used to create the soundtrack of this lyrical outing.
Personally, I feel that I shine on “Painting a Still,” which is my favorite of all the songs, “Determination,” being second. Combined, this project is more than six months of production and a season or so of actual writing and crafting songs in various settings and sittings.

Note: This is not a review. This is my “shameless plug-outlook” on where this album came from.

peep out the latest joint from Ortega Cartel feat The Jonesz. Sixteen Pad Films credited for the production of this video. These cats are one of my few favorite film crews. Check out the jawn called “This if For My Boys.” This just goes to show that hip hop has no language barriers.

I just felt like you guys needed another way to get to know me. So I’m doing this little project. Peep the video. I plan on covering other beat makers in the future. Maybe this will be a big ordeal at some juncture. Either way….

The Ecstatic – New record from Mos Def, and highly anticipated release!!! Drop date is supposed to be 9 June… we shall see. I don’t care if it doesn’t come out to August… this is definitely worth the wait, so practice patience… maybe this will help you hold your water ’til then…

Glad to see Mighty Mos on his ‘g.’ This record should be exciting with everything going on in the world… peep the video above. Album cover below.

NOTE:
• This is going to be a very dope record… I’m too excited. I’m buying this ish when it drops.

SHOUTS:
• Mos Def it’s good to know you’re still making music, people get wrapped up into the fact that you’re an equally great actor… let em hate…
