It's 102 degrees outside, I just drank something like 80 ounces of water, I have 2 fans pointed in my direction, I'm full of fresh-cut mangoes, and I'm on a good one. 52 minutes of jams that even made me smile as I was laying this episode down.

Rapademic and UVA professor A.D. Carson follows Owning My Masters with Sleepwalking, Vol. 1: A Mixtape. The 12-track release is decidedly shorter than his exhaustive 34-track dissertation, but just as lyrically rich, informative and full of purpose. The project features production from Preme, RPM and Truth.

Buscrates 16-Bit Ensemble - Home Again
Buscrates 16-Bit Ensemble celebrates his return to the Steele City with Home Again. His debut for Thrash Flow Records, the 13-track project is an emotive clinic in synthesizer and sample based production that maintains Buscrates' place as one of the underground kings of the funk.
“This tape gave me the chance to create without being beholden to any preconceived ideas of how it should sound. For much of this project, I would make something out of a few samples and then proceed to layer them with analog synthesizers. While not the only synth on deck, the Korg Minilogue played a significant role in creating these tracks. Some were made while living in Atlanta and the others were created back here in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA...hence the title 'Home Again'”

Keor Meteor - Freeways
French producer Keor Meteor bundles eighteen tracks of raw, uncut instrumental magic to deliver Freeways. The project is dense with jazz samples and audio snippets that beautifully illustrate his journey behind the boards. This a gritty gem for the loop diggers that should delight fans of Madlib and DOOM as well as King Britt.
