so, i realized that blogamp doesn't allow separate mp3 links for these files. if you want to download these songs, hit that "mp3" button on the side of the player.
1. Mood, "Cincinatti"
Before Hi-Tek started rolling with Talib Kweli, Mos Def and the other Rawkus/Okayplayer cats, he was making beats for Ohio's Mood, a largely ignored group on Blunt Records. Mood found a sound in the vein of conspiracy theorists like Boogiemonsters, but had the ferocity of thugged out New York rappers like Mobb Deep.
2. Mountain Brothers, "Thoroughbred"
Philly's Mountain Brothers made a name for themselves by signing to Ruffhouse/Columbia, and publicly addressing the label's inability to release their record, "Self Vol.1," which had mostly to do with the fact that Sony had no idea how to market an Asian-American hip-hop group short of playing on stereotypes. Eventually, the MBs struck out on their own and released "Self" via Magnificent Butcher, their own imprint. "Thoroughbred" is the b-side for their single "Galaxies."
3. DJ Shadow, "Dark Days" (Main Theme) and "Dark Days" (Spoken For Mix)
Josh Davis aka DJ Shadow scored music for a documentary called "Dark Days," a film that followed a group of homeless people living in the sewers. Sadly, I fell asleep halfway through the movie, but the songs are as black as the film's title suggests.
Labels: Dark Days, DJ Shadow, Hi-Tek, Mood, Mountain Brothers
