geoff tallman - Night Of The Sentinels II

This is the dopest track I heard last week. It had me in a new spot. So Geoff Tallman is with Fauve Collective... a collective of artists (mostly producers).  I know... I wanted to hear more too:

Oh and there IS a Night Of The Sentinels 1:

That's a nas sample on there... the track is Purple. And dope art for all of these tracks... fuck.

ฬเןl - down'

ฬเןl is a UK producer whose beats sound filtered through gritty vinyl only to be brought back to digital.  His sound is repetitive yet fleeting, with most of his songs lasting less than 2 minutes.  His vintage feel evokes a mid 90s memory of the exterior golden age of hip hop.  His soundcloud is deep as fuck and very laney.

Nas - The Don (Produced by Salaam Remi, Da Internz & Heavy D)

Last time we heard nas gas like this it was on "Nasty". Nas will do this from time to time... besides gassing "The Outro" of The Carter IV, Nasir has been fairly quiet.  He commands your attention on "The Don".  He's still God's son... say whatever you want.
