Ill Conscious & Marshtini "Import Export" (EP Stream)

Import Export is a project orchestrated by renowned Baltimore emcee, ILL Conscious, and Norwegian producer, Marshtini, from the super group, Loop.Holes. With Kool DJ KC Fly on the cuts, this EP will take you on a journey through classic boom bap beats and thought-provoking rhymes. The EP was slated to be released in 2016, but stay unreleased... until now. ILL says that the demand for the project was high, so they decided to release the project ahead of his upcoming LP, Acres of Diamonds. He also adds that there are bonus tracks included with the purchase of the EP. Y'all know I'm a fan of ILL's intricate wordplay and message-driven lyric, so dig into another fine effort below, and, as always, hit up the archives for additional content from ILL Conscious, as well as Loop.Holes.

Loop.Holes "Loopstrumentals" (Instrumental Album)

The production crew loop.holes have blessed us with another powerful and relaxed instrumental album, Loopstrumentals. The compilation-style album is a selection of their works from the past decade. Some tracks date back to their early Soundcloud days, where the whole instrumental hip hop renaissance started, while other tracks are freshly mixed in their lab. Much respect to Loot Fattig, Marshtini, Henc, Filliboom, Type Raw, Uncle Filth and Blunt One for all their contributions to this 14-track project. If you're not familiar with their sound or past work, dig into the archives for some additional releases and production credits. In the meantime, listen to Loopstrumentals below...

Loop.Holes "Back In Bap" (Instrumental Album)

Loop.holes started in 2013 when typeraw took the initiative to form a group with 5 of his favourite musicians and friends from Norway: Filliboom, Loot Fattig, Marshtini, Henc-Beats and Vizcatiabeats. All with a fellow passion for jazz, soul and especially the 90's Hip-Hop phenomenon, Boom Bap. After a while they started producing classic tracks for a number of MC's like Epidemic, Melanin 9, Ill Conscious, and too many other ill individuals to mention. Loop.holes are now releasing their first album BACK IN BAP on Millennium Jazz Music, which is a combination of instrumentals released online and from different projects with other artists. A fine release, check it out below...
