German Producer Slim The Chemist Drops An Impressive Multi-Faceted EP “Perspective” (Review)
The release of DJ Shadow’s Endtroducing in 1996, in tandem with projects from J Dilla, Nujabes, and Madlib, (amongst others in the 2000s) gave rise to the rap instrumental auteur, beat-crafters who cultivated atmospheres with their productions that stand alone from an MC’s verses.

To Follow Up His Groundbreaking EP, Matt Muse Delivers A Gorgeous New Record, “What’s Love”
MC, teacher, and social activist Matt Muse has been on a rampage this year. Headlining shows, getting due respect from large media outlets, and most importantly, delivering GREAT music.
