Question-Baduist Mixtape

Erykah Badu is the queen of neo-soul, her longevity is unmatched. She has released more than 4 studio albums and is still making dope music. I think what sets her apart from most artists is that even with the progression of her sound, she is still at the top of her game, she hasn’t faltered at any point in her music career.  Question, the super talented dj from Southern California, pays hommage to the queen with his new mixtape Baduist. Question doesn’t just make regular mixes, he brings almost an anthropological approach to his mixes. It is like he documents the subject matter by diggin for original breaks and unreleased tracks while still showcasing the hits. Go grab this mixtape here, it is free!

stay mellow

2014 here you come, I started a little late but I needed some re-charge time. But getting back to it, I think 2014 maybe a highlight year in music, already there has been some crazy releases and we are only day 4. The Mellow Orange crew released two dope releases in the new year and one super close to Christmas. A super plus is that all these releases don’t hit the bank.

Freddie Joachim comes again with his signature chilled out hiphop beats. The Begonia EP are a little extra beats that he has been holding on to. Freddie Joachim has the Midas touch, I want to hear all the beats in the vault.

Question, drops his Favela EP. It is cold out there, cop this release and warm up with some flipped Bossa Nova and Samba beats. You are transported to a beach while listening to these tracks. Question’s digging and straight up music knowledge is a real treat.

Chloe Martini, a new addition to the Mellow Orange roster, the female beat smith comes correct with her first release Reborn EP . The Poland native layers these chillin drum patterns laced with jazzy samples. She is one producer not sleep on!

Mellow Orange is one of the most consistent record labels out there, always dropping quality music. I can’t wait to hear more from them in 2014.
