Grip Grand — Brokebeat, Vol. 1: Mr. Prettybeat
Do you like offbeat instrumental hip-hop and sample-based sound collages? Are you tired of waiting for the next volume of MF Doom’s Special Herbs to come out? Do you need a symphony for your subway ride or that long walk home from work? Want to know what happens when you put 808’s under a Tony Bennett song? If you answered “Yes” to any of the above, then this is your lucky day!
Grip Grand presents Brokebeat, Vol. 1: Mr. Prettybeat, featuring 93 (!!) previously unreleased slaps, snippets, and skiterludes from my instrumental vaults. This so-called instrumental album contains literally hundreds of samples, including both sung and spoken vocals. It is, however, 100 percent free of live human rapping. Many of these beats will be songs someday, by myself and others…but, until then, let them be the soundtrack to your life.
(How to get it? Read on, genius.) Read the rest of this entry »

Like we said last week, QM’s debut album, Happy Hour, will be released on June 18th. This week we have some exclusive verses from the Happy Hour recording sessions. These verse’s are from songs that didn’t make the album, however couldn’t stay under wraps forever! A quick little dose of QM to get your appetite ready for the feast on June 18th. The Happy Hour will be hitting the airwaves sooner than you think.

Hello world! I am proud to announce the first OFFICIAL single from QM’s upcoming album “Happy Hour” which will be released on June 18th. The song “They Like Us” is produced by Grip Grand and showcases the wit and creative style that QM fans have grown to love. QM put in work on last year’s Rec-League release “Season Two” with the team and, on his own solo song “Pour Some“, QM got the fans ready for the Happy Hour experience.
Happy Hour features production by Grip Grand, Richie Cunning, Proe & more. With guest spots from the Rec-League family, Grip Grand, Rob Rush, Richie Cunning & Vince The Bard. The album is chock full of anthems sure to make any happy hour last until the sunrise.
I’ll be sending out more songs and info as the June 18th date approaches. For now take some time to get familiar with QM and warm that liver up for the Happy Hour.

A quick mixtape verse from the Rec’s own master of strength, Proe. Another reminder that us Rec-League cats are the champions of everything. Proe’s “Whatever You’re On I’ll Take 2″ mixtape will be released this month on RoutineFly.com. This is your last warning.

Hey it’s Ashkon! Here’s a couple new mixtape joints from our buddy Ashkon, as well as his new Warriors Weekly spot shot and directed by Matt Straus. Matt is the same cat that did Richie Cunning’s Warriors Weekly spot a few years back. You probably remember Ash from his infamous “Hot Tubbin’ On The Late Night” video as well as his “Hula Hoop” video. He’s got a new album on the way called “The Showcase”. Should be out this Summer. Get ‘em!
