Don't Sleep Records "Original Demos & Unreleased Tracks"

"Every MC I've worked with will tell you there's a 50/50 chance I try to change the beat on any track we record together. Here's a collection of 20 tracks with their original beats that ultimately got cut from the album and swapped for something else. Also included are a few unreleased joints that got scrapped altogether. Some of them I'm not sure why. Give it a listen and hear the original flows as they were intended before I went in and tampered with them. This was a dope trip down memory lane to go back and listen to the OG versions of some of our best records. It was a fun mixtape to put together and it features every member of the Don't Sleep Records roster. Hope you enjoy." - Phoniks // I'm a fan of every artist on the Don't Sleep Records roster, so this was a pleasant surprise - I recommend listening closely below, and click through for a lot more music!

Peebs The Prophet "Ills of the Earth" (EP Stream)

Peebs The Prophet dropped his gem of an EP, 'Ills of the Earth,' in early 2015 with production by Bluntone, who I've covered twice on the site, as well as the ever-talented, Phoniks. It's a short project, only 6 tracks, but it packs considerable content and sharp production. Unfortunately, by now the limited edition vinyl has sold out, but you can still order the CD, which includes instrumentals and/or download a copy of the digital EP with the 'name your price' option on Bandcamp. Does Phoniks do the dope artwork for the label, too? My favorite track on the EP is 'All Day,' but the entire EP is highly recommended, so give it a listen below. What's next, Peebs?
