Melly-Mel & Tone Spliff "New People" (Album Stream)

From South Africa to Los Angeles, Melly-Mel links with producer Tone Spliff to drop their collaborative album, "New People". This 12-track album brings back the Golden Era Hip Hop feel with Boom Bap production, scratches and raw lyricism. Guest appearances on New People include Mr. Lif (Boston), Kool Taj the Gr8 (Buffalo) and Mel's group, The Assembly (South Africa). I hear hints of Ras Kass in Melly-Mel's voice and delivery (which is 100% a compliment), and the producer/MC combination just adds to the nostalgic feel, offering us a cohesive body of work.

Tone Spliff "Ardore Melodico" (Album Stream)

Ardore Melodico is the latest production album from LA's Tone Spliff. His 19-track effort features a number of incredible lyricists such as Big Shug, Ill Conscious, Supreme Cerebral, Zagnif Nori, Recognize Ali, C Rayz Walz, Sadat X, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Daniel Son, Edo G, Pace Won, Illa Ghee, Kool Sphere of Verbal Threat, Ruste Juxx and more. Tone Spliff has been puttin' in work for a long time... I remember working with him on a track from my artist Eternia in like 2010 or 2011. Anyhow, this is a really solid project - nice production, sharp cuts, and plenty of bars to digest. Dig in below...
