…Vybz Kartel is on top form on top of driving drums, a bubbling bassline and strong simple synths. A wining tune featuring a melodic, old school ragga flow and lyrics in Spanish is always going to be a winner!

Via BoL: Damian Marley & Nas - Distant Relatives Mixtape.

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

Music site Breath Of Life comes through with another mixtape fans our our site can dig, this time featuring live music from Nas & Damian Marley. Check out the mix and details below…

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

These tracks are taken from two different sessions. The first five selections are from a live in-studio BBC 1xtra radio program recorded in London. The remaining selections are from a May 17, 2010 performance at the Highline Ballroom in New York City.

I am very impressed that the live performances are on point. If you get a chance to see this show, you might want to reserve tickets at the earliest possible moment. Unfortunately, these recordings are not commercially available. Fortunately, however, sharing music is the raison d’etre of BoL.

So, whether you get to see Damian and Nas, here is close to an hour of live versions of music from their new and aptly titled album, Distant Relatives.

—Kalamu ya Salaam

Meet Gappy Ranks.

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

Quick video interview with up and coming UK Deejay Gappy Ranks, courtesy of Boomshots. Check out the video below…

Get the Flash Player to see this content.

Gappy Ranks has been making waves since his song on the Soul Rebel riddim, “Heaven In Your Eyes,” made a big splash on the Peckings label. Astute listeners may remember him from his 2005 collabo with Kray Twinz, Lethal B and Twista or his work on the UK Grime scene (“Rep Your Endz”) or when he was ballin on a G4 in the bashment tune “Stinkin Rich.” But judging by the way he rides the classical Studio One riddims on his forthcoming VP album Put The Stereo On, way down deep inside, Gappy is a foundation deejay par excellence. Give him a listen and chances are Gappy will make you happy.
