Download: KWES – Against The Dying of the Light

Rifle Eyes music was nice enough to promote this album via our Twitter feed. I’m glad they did as I’m loving what I hear from the man from Ottawa, Canada (AGAIN!).

I’m really digging the different instruments used in the tracks – there’s even a banjo, for crying out loud. Expect a review on Monday and a high possibility of the horribly catchy “Parachute Pants” being featured in next weeks Top6.

“Don’t Do It” by Y Society (Teaser)

A teaser for a new release by the under-posted Y Society, at least under-posted on Lesson Six. It’s a shame that when the full video drops, I’ll be in a plane landing in San Francisco. Let’s hope Steven notices the release.

Oh and yes, I’ll be coming back with loads of swag (mostly from Amoeba Records) which I’ll post on here, some how.

DJ Primate’s The Beast Tape EP

Just discovered this one, it’s a pretty good throw back to the early 90s by DJ Primate. A majority of it is instrumentals, so it deserves a Instrumental Thursday post. It’s also free, so you have no reason not to Czech It Out.

“Take Me With You” By Evil Ebenzer

Stuey Kubrick seems to be the only director around at the moment. Here’s another one, this time Evil Ebenezer’s new release from the forthcoming album, Evil Eye. One to look out for.

Dumbfoundead & DJ Zo Talk To DJ Premier

It’s a shame that Gangstarr won’t get that final album their legacy deserved. The Ownerz was thematically weak and wasn’t the send off that they deserved. Still it’s good to hear what DJ Premier is up to, he’s a Hip-Hop legend after all.

Essentials: Shad K

Despite being only three albums deep, Shad K has made one hell of a name for himself in the underground scene. Rightly so, TSOL remains one of the highest rated albums on Lesson Six and if we we’re around when The Old Prince came out, I’m sure that would be up there as well. So without further ado, here is Shad’s Essentials.

“Yes Party People” by Kero One & Green Tea

Apparently this track will only be free for a limited time so pick up some decent Kero One (essentially a remix of “Keep It Alive”). Production by Green Tea.

The Lesson Six Top Six: Week of 30th August

Now I know this is only the seventh Top Six but I’m starting to lose track. While digging through iTunes I found a few suitable tracks that, apparently, we had already posted. There’s probably an easier way to do this. Anyway here’s another top six, the best yet?
