Money Making Jam Boys-Tear It Down [Video]

: June 12, 2011

The hip-hop collective spearheaded by The Root’s Black Thought drop the latest set of visuals from their February released mixtape The Prestige.

I actually wasn’t much of a fan of the first drop Day Job but I’m really feeling this joint and as you all know with me, I’m a massive fan of black and white when it comes to hip-hop anything really. The visuals here remind me of how the BET Cyphers are filmed (to the extent that I went back to watch them all, in particular 2009′s with Thought, Mos Def and Em) which are of course based around free-styling at it’s purest form on the street corner.

If you haven’t already then pick up the mixtape for free here. That’s if you can see through all these red hyperlinks. Woah.

Money Making Jam Boys-The Prestige: Jam Boy Magic

: February 3, 2011


Haven’t been this excited for a mixtape in a little while. I’ve only caught the one track (Day Job) but such was the pure hip-hop essence, I’m really confident that this will be of a great standard.

Of course, the individual components of the group help, and being led by the fantastic mic skills of Black Thought is always going to work in anyone’s favour. The list of contributors doesn’t end with the MMJB, as the project is mixed by Mick Boogie and Terry Urban, as well as featuring some production by Thought’s fellow Roots member ?uestlove, and some Jazzy Jeff scratches in for good measure. To me, it sounds like the perfect formula for a solid hip-hop mixtape. You know what to do.

Money Making Jam Boys-Day Job

: January 29, 2011


Maybe not a name that’s familiar yet, but when you see who the group is comprised of, you’ll be looking to change that: de facto leader Black Thought of The Roots, accompanied by frequent Roots collaborators Dice Raw, Truck North, P.O.R.N. and STS. Talented bunch of guys, and with a mixtape on the horizon (Feb. 3rd) we’re treated to a very solid track from The Prestige: Jam Boy Magic.

The old-school, raw feel of this production will really win over the hip-hop heads, with pounding drum and bass hits tied with a mesmerising set of melodies and catchy sampled hook, making for an addictive and captivating production that is comfortably one of the best beats in recent memory. The raps certainly deliver too, and there aren’t any weak links at all in the set. Very, very strong hip-hop.
