Thanks to Lucid for recommending it on our forum, because I didn't know Common Market's RA Scion dropped another solo album. It's not as good as Common Market if you ask me, because I miss Sabzi's productions, but it's still a very good album. Track 8 is corrupted in this upload, but you can download that song seperately here.

In all honesty, one of the best things about this blog is the community we have. An active MS forum with even more downloads, people who are also frequent visitors of 'brother project' TheFindMag.com, people who send us e-mails or comments and people who recommend us good music.

This album is an example of the last mentioned option. Linus told us about HISD, who released this album four(!) years ago. Shame on us we slept on it, but thanks to him for recommending it so we can all enjoy it now. Jazzy hip hop, check the two previews above to get a taste first.

Honestly I don't like this that much, but those of you who are into games and 8bit sounds might like it, I just can't listen to it more than a couple tries out of curiosity...

" Originally titled SUPER NINTENDO SEGA GENESIS (WHEN I WAS DEAD BROKE, MAN, I COULDN’T PICTURE THIS) but eventually shortened (because, dude, that’s kind of a long album name), the album title is both a reference to the Biggie line in “Juicy” and an indicator of the album’s contents: delicious, delicious mashups of Genesis and SNES-era game tracks with both old-school and contemporary hip-hop. You read right: unlike Ocarina of Rhyme and Vinyl Fantasy VII, this album isn’t constrained to one game, and as a result, you’ve got tracks like Sonic 3′s Carnival Night Zone and Guile’s Theme from Street Fighter II getting mashed up with classic rap songs, to glorious results"

After The Jazz Album, here's Bodega Man's sequel The Love Album, which is still evidentally influenced by jazz and soul. The bad news is that Bodega Man told us this could be his last album, because it's such a hard struggle for an independent artist these days. So if you like his free music, then spread the word or drop your thoughts on The Find's Twitter (@TheFindMag) or Facebook to give him the love back!!

Don't Sleep On... #52: Emay

I haven't done one of these. I am going to do this now because a new Emay EP drops tomorrow!!!! Stoooked.

I must admit I was sleeping, I saw the Karen O album going around the blogs and I didn't listen to it... shame. Now I can't stop listening to his releases. 3 albums on bandcamp for free.

My favorite is the latest, Mind Altering Dynamics Preview/Download

Also there is Seeing Suge, which is Emay, Star Slinger and Blackbird Blackbird...
Preview/Download (theres a mediafire link on the bandcamp)

Honestly that makes me freak out, I like Star Slinger and Blackbird Blackbird ALOT.
So good.

There are 2 more albums available for free download, I'm sure you can find them. I can't wait for more of Emay.

"The natural disaster in Japan has wiped out towns, taken thousands and thousands of lives (with even more still missing) and had further knock on affects to several of the countries nuclear facilities. Japan is a calm, patient and dignified Nation and will no doubt build from this disaster, however in order to do that they will need as much help as possible.

It is with that in mind that A Bridge Too Far Recordings and The Find Magazine have teamed up to show financial support to the rescue and rehabilitation efforts that will be ongoing for the coming months if not years. Within just 72 hours they came up with this compilation, consisting of mostly unreleased music. Even some brand new material, such as the exclusive Erjee remix of Benjamin Diggins' 'Believe & Renovate' featuring Pseudo Slang and a new verse by Joe Kickass.

Other featured artists include Soul Square, Othello (of Lightheaded), Incise, Melodiq, Weedy (of 40 Winks), Teekay (of Dragon Fli Empire), Dela, Kidkanevil, LeftO and many more." - More info.

After downloading hundreds of albums by Japanese artists on this blog, now it's time to give them support back. Leeching music is fine with us, but now it's time to say thanks and to help the Japanese people in need. You can download a great compilation consisting of mainly unreleased music for only 5.99 euro (or more if you'd like), while all proceeds go directly to the British Red Cross Japan Tsunami Appeal! Win-win, right? Exactly. Support Japan.

Shad - iTunes Session

Shad released an exclusive EP on iTunes today consisting of 6 live songs, some of them flipped a bit differently from the album versions. Very awesome...
And there is finally a recorded version of the epic Shad youtube video of him rhyming in front of a garage. So dope, I think it, "The One In Front Of The Garage"(track 6) is now my favorite Shad track from any album.
