So Grap Luva Came Thru The Other Day...

2011-11-14T22:42:00.008-05:00

...with the ill Heavy D and The Boyz "Big Tyme" tour jacket... For those that dont know Graps (along with his big bro Pete Rock) cousin is HEAVY D. Mt. Vernon NY Stand up.

So anyway... Grap comes thru. We kickin it...playin joints n whatnot. Grap has some of the dopest stories ever about backnthe day when ish was just poppin around his way. (for instance the 1st time he saw sum1 officially smoke a blunt was when Hev took grap w/em over SLICK RICK's spot) so many memories of his fam he brought up....crazy.

When he came thru I had just finished touchin up a Marvin Gaye joint that I was tinkerin with the night b4. After the Kozby got kracked off (and a few sips of brew) Grap just wanted to lay sumthin down for HEV... NO way imma say no to that.
After i did a lil ruff mix he asked me..."You gonna put that up on "twitter"?" (meaning=you gonna put that up online?) I was like "Yeah. I can put it up if youre cool with it."

...so yeah Grap just lettin his cuz( & every1 else) know how he feels...

Hassaan Mackey ft. Sean Born

...A Couple New Joints...

2011-07-27T01:50:00.003-04:00

Hassaan Mackey & Apollo Brown

Back with that grit, tell the soundman to turn this sh*t up. New York MC Hassaan Mackey(LowBudget!) slangs words and onomatopoeia, rhymes like he wants to, and backs the whole room into a corner with a raw vision of the streets that pierces ordinary experience and gets at life’s marrow. Meanwhile Detroit producer Apollo Brown lays the sonic foundation with hard drums and big bass, while the crackle of vinyl hums. Gritty and soaked in soul, Daily Bread brings to mind an old photograph that bangs out the system. Each track is heavy with a sense of atonement, haunted by experience, and energized by a cathartic sense of hope. Give us our Daily Bread and forgive us our trespasses.
&amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="http://mellomusicgroup.bandcamp.com/album/daily-bread"&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Daily Bread by Hassaan Mackey &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp; Apollo Brown&amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;

Gods’Illa – CPR: The Blend Tape (Hosted By DJ Lo Down Loretta Brown aka Erykah Badu)

What started as a conversation and CD exchange at last year’s A3C Festival in Atlanta culminates in us presenting Gods’Illa’s CPR: The Blend Tape today. In a time where groups aren’t as prevalent, the three siblings from D.C. band together to create music whose strong suits are consistency and substance and their work is best epitomized in the opening lines from “Sal’s Pizzeria”: “This ain’t your everyday regular rap sh*t, This that revolutionary, swing with a black fist.”

The Blend Tape features guest appearances from Maimouna Youseff, RatheMC, XO and yU of Diamond District, KingPen Slim and many others. And we’re proud to present this one alongside Up And Up Music & The Core DJs and host DJ Lo Down Loretta Brown, better known as the legendary Erykah Badu.

Declaime
“East Meets West”
feat. Kev Brown
(prod. Georgia Anne Muldrow)

The second leak from Declaime‘s forthcoming Self Study album,

a raw & to-the-point song entitled, “East Meets West” -
matches Dudley with DMV area & Low Budget Crew representative, Kev Brown
over a spacey, hard-hitting creeper of a beat
from Ms.One herself – Georgia Anne Muldrow.
Succinct & poignant – the track features two verses, no hook -
with both of the MC’s two distinct styles adding the perfect balance to each other.

Packaged along with this new Self Study album,
will be Interplanetary Peace Talks 2012 A.U. -
a full-length documentary on the life of Dudley Perkins -
which features candid footage of Declaime in his earliest stages as an MC,
in the studio w/ Madlib, Lootpack, Oh No, Kan Kick & more,
plus footage of him at home w/ his children
& performing on the road w/ Georgia.
More than ever before, do you get a real glimpse into the man behind the music.

The movie will be available as a DVD accompanying the CD,
but be on the look out for an exclusive online premiere of the documentary
coming on the album’s release date, August 16th.

You can download “East Meets West” HERE!

They made the trip from Maryland to Brooklyn for the Fat Beats Record Store Day Event and to film the music video for Go Green, so while they were here Damu The Fudgemunk decided to conduct an interview with them about the making of their LP.

John Notarfrancesco : Redef Recs -

Operating a label these days means wearing many different hats and being adaptable.

Classic Joints

2011-04-22T04:04:00.010-04:00

John Notarfrancesco: ReDef Recs -

Kev Brown’s “Classic Joints” is compilation of selections, fan favorites and unreleased music from the Landover, Maryland Native's VERY NOTABLE body of work.

If you know Kev, you know that he's an extremely talented and humble producer/rapper, as well as a pretty generous dude. He's sharing with us a selection of songs that he has made in the past 10 years including tracks with Busta Rhymes, Grap Luva as well as his Low Budget Crew.

Kev's "Classic Joints" is now available. check it out.

If you like what you hear, look out for more of Kev Brown's work including The Alexander Green Project (Redefinition Records/Real Late Music) which features Kaimbr on the mic and was produced entirely by Kev Brown.

OFFICIAL GREEN TAPES AND VINYL free "Songs"

"SONGS" <---- (free!!)

Songs appears on The Alexander Green Project by Kaimbr & Kev Brown. Please feel free to share this song as you see fit.

The Alexander Green Project was produced entirely by Kev Brown. Kev has been talking about making this for YEARS because MC Kaimbr's gov name is actually Al(exander) Green, so at first it was an inside joke of sorts, but thankfully it materialized as an actual LP.

-John Notarfrancesco from REDEF Recordings says...
I'll spare you the typical "label / promo guy" hype this time... I'll just say that I think this is a great song, and that Kaimbr and Kev Brown make for a great combo and that their music is that its something that regular, everyday folk such as ourselves can easily relate to.

As for the beats ... Kev really nailed that classic Rza sound throughout this LP, which is something he intended to accomplish when producing it. There's a reason why guys like Jazzy Jeff, De La Soul and Busta Rhymes call on Kev when they need beats; he simply knows what he's doing.

Kev & Kaimbr will be performing at the Fat Beats in store in Brooklyn this Saturday April 16th. Their set starts at 5pm and we'll be shooting a music video live at the event.

Low Budget Crew Presents "The Masters"

2011-04-07T13:36:00.001-04:00

http://Lowbudgetcrew.bandcamp.com/

For those that don't know Kaimbr(Al Green) LOVES golf. (He's probably out golfing rite now.) He came up with the idea for this project this past monday nite. 18 tracks for 18 holes of golf. Inspired by "The Masters" ( the "Super Bowl" for golf) as I understand it. Music by Quartermaine, Roddy Rod, Kaimbr, yU and myself. FREE for a very limited time...

Feels like this album never even came out...

2011-03-17T17:01:00.006-04:00

Did ANYBODY buy or even know about this project? It came out last year around May. "Selective Hearing Part 2." This is an album I did with LMNO (longbeach Cali wuddup!)
Originally This project was supposed to be called "James/Brown". You see... LMNO's 1st name is JAMES. My last is BROWN. The whole "concept" was us rockin out over all James Brown samples. At 1st the label was down with the whole title("JAMES/BROWN) and everything. Then around when we were wrappin up the album the flake out occurred. I guess it was a sample clearance issue or whatever. So the title got "changed" to "Selective Hearing part 2". Now in my opinion this album is CLASSIC. Alot of work went into this collection of music. Shout out 2 DeeJay LD (technicali sound).
We recorded the whole album over his spot. He Mixed the whole album and did all the SCRATCHES!!!! He even let me use his mpc2500 when my 2000xl was actin up. (I used the 2500 for two beats on that project.(Thanks bro! This dudes whole family is good peoples...shout out to marvin!) Also thanks to LMNO and his family for letting me stay over and all the hospitality that every1 showed me. Shout out to LRG too for the clothing hook up! Shout out to Creative Recs for the footwear also!

This is a drastic difference from the 1st "Selective Hearing" where we just sent trax back n forth over email...I flew out 2 cali for these sessions and we actually worked on joints on the spot at the studio. I mean beats from scratch...rhymes from scratch...scratches from scratch. EVERYthing. It just really hurts as an "artist" to put all you have into a project for it to flop. Yeah. I said it. !!FLOP!! Never got an advance or any type of payment for this album after almost a year since it came out. Wich means nobody bought that joint(either bcuz they thought it was wack) or they just didnt know it was out due to poor marketing. We did probably over a month long tour for this album also...(west to mid west tour. I lost my mpc on the road and everything.)And rite after the states straight to Europe for another few weeks. Man... that was a long tour for me.

This album is pretty special to me but i guess from the response that nobody's really feelin this joint or they just dont know about it. (even tho this project got sum of the best reviews I have seen) Then on top of that even if you do hear the album alot of people dont get the "concept" bcuz the title got changed. The label put out a limited vinyl single and a video. Apparently that was NOT enuff. I dont plan on doin ANYTHING EVER with that label again. Ive been let down too many times.

Been thinkin about posting sumthin about this project for a while...Feel like it never took off like I hoped it would.

Kev Brown Show Rehearsal with Peter "PmD" Rosenberg

2011-01-09T02:27:00.006-05:00

Alot of people probably don't know that Peter Rosenberg(Lowbudget!) was my D.J. backntheday... This is a recording of me n' Pete practicing in his basement back in 2003 I think.(?) (Chevy Chase MD Wuddup!) Peter and myself go back further than that tho. We met back when he used to host a show up at University of Maryland(College Park MD Wuddup!) called "From Dusk Till Dawn"...this could be a longer story because I met alooooooot of folks that I still know to this day from goin up the that radio station on Friday evenings...

Anyway in this recording were practicin for a show in Toronto Canada. Pete's stage name used to be PMD (PETERfromMaryland). We did a good amount of shows come to think of it, along with members of the crew sumtimes. This is before "I Do What I Do" was even being recorded. The "Brown Album" must have recently came out since we did that acapella/beat match routine..."The Wood Joint" has never really officially been put out but I was still rockin it in my sets tho.(shout out to Ken Wood on the beat!) Since Ive been reachin back in the vault lately I figured I'd throw this out officially...Pete gettin busy on the the cuts all the way thru this joint...haha. Me rappity rappin. Doin Graps verse AND my verse on sum Black Thought ish..."tv tracks" with the adlibs in em...lunchin.

Rosenberg(PMD) with the fresh Kev Brown "T" at a show in Cali...reppin hawd!

OPEN MIC KNIGHT

2011-01-06T03:20:00.007-05:00

Maaaaaaaaaaaaan... Where do I start with this 1? This is 1 of a couple projects i put 2gether a long time ago. Probably about a good 10-11 YEARS AGO. This was back when I wanted 2 be am EMCEE when I grew up(as you can hear from the rappity rap kragenoff. I considered myself an MC back then. The beats were kinda secondary. I would put these kind of projects together and go around to open mics to perform and try to sell a few cd's. Specifically THE REVOLUTIONARY CAFE!!!!!!!(brrrrrrrrap!!!!) Central Avenue, Capitol Heights MD Wuddup!!!!! PG County!!!! Shout out to my Manz Bruce Odams for throwin those open mics back then. I remember right after the open mic cleared out they would have the exotic dancers KRAGENOFF! (hood ish.)

I met alot of artists that would eventually become the LOWBUDGET CREW at that open mic. (theres a skit with me talkin to Cy Young briefly...) I actually went up to the open mic with my mini disk recorder 1 nite ...thats where those live pieces in between a few songs come from. Its a couple cats in my own crew that have never heard these joints. I kinda cringe when I hear sum of my old stuff. I sound young as a mug on a few of these...haha. This was when I had an Akai S20 sampler, a Yamaha 4track digital recorder, a hand held mic I had bought from BEST BUY, a lil rack mount effects processor, a philips cd burner, a gemini(belt drive) turntable and sum house speakers. (once I got sum type of "real" recording equipment it was a wrap!!) You cant understand how HYPE I was once I got this equipment!!!!(shout out to MUSICIANS FRIEND CATALOG!) Big ups to EARLY REED too!!

Its crazy to hear how I was structuring songs and stringing them together in the form of an actual album. I was on it back then sun!

A little discography lesson...

2010-02-17T17:32:00.002-05:00

For those that don't know the catalog, here's a few joints i have done in the past...

Dela Soul "Special"- 2001(instru)*I look really fat in that pic...*

Always("allways")- 2003 ...Spelled so wrong. Dont know how that slipped past EVERY1 at the time. This song originally was the 1st single I ever put out as an artist. I recorded the aside and the bside on a digital 4track recorder! You can ask Grap Luva or Phonte if you dont believe me... Shout out 2 9thwonder who did the rmx on the bside...

BSIDE "cant stay away" 2003 - feat. PHONTE and GRAP LUVA... Just a side note... this joint came out on ABB records and to this day i have never seen a PENNY from it. They even messed up my publishing on the vinyl.

Freddie Foxxx "Scram" - 2002 ... This joint was originally on the "Magnificent"(the dj Jazzy Jeff BBE records beat generation sereies joint) I have a whole album done with foxxx but no1 seems to believe me...

"What Ruling Means" 2001 - Once again recorded on a digital 4track. Big Shout out 2 GLAP LUVA. If it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't be doing music. Dude opened alot of doors for a bruva. This song was on the Marley Marl beat generation joint from BBE. Big Shout out 2 FUTURe FLAVAS.

Eric Roberson "Pen Just Cries Away" - 2007 ...Went to NJ to track this joint out. Glad folks like this song. Alot of folks dont know I did this beat though...

DJ MITSU THE BEATS feat. Kev Brown and Roddy Rod "Yeah Yall" - 2005 ...SHOUT OUT 2 JAPAN!!! Me & Roddy on this joint raaaappin... We actually recorded the 1st verse of this song in JAPAN when we went out there to do a show with GRAP. The hook and the 2nd verse was recorded over Roddy Rods back in MD. Jazzysport wuddup!!

The VISIONARIES "1%" - 2006 ...Another Classic Joint. West Coast Wuddup!!

Jay-Z "threat" RMX - 2002 ...From the "Brown Album" remix project.

Eric Roberson "Rock Wit U" - 2002 ... This video is kinda stugglin...I was there when they shot it. Glad I wasn't in that joint. The Song is rockin though. This was on "The Magnificent" also.

That's just a few for now...might do a few more in the months to come...

Metazon "THE MAN"

2009-12-07T12:39:00.006-05:00

Metazon and Kev Brown unite and through an exercise in style, they bring it back to its roots and clearly demonstrate why we should follow their lead, and the reason they are “the man for the job…” when the time comes to regain the prestige for the True School Hip Hop and to give back the place that it deserves.(blackouthiphop.com)

Metazon, the first band of Live Hip Hop, Jazz and Funk Fusion in Canada, stands to lay down their principles and positioning as creators in the 21st century. In this digital era of sampling and recycling, Metazon insists to compose their own music and thus, leave behind an original repertoire for the use of a future generation of artists. Metazon looks to rediscover the greatest classics of music and to offer an alternative where Hip-Hop doesn’t rhyme with crime, drugs and hatred but only with art, creation and devotion. World Class Buffet, the first official album from Metazon, Soon available. www.METAZON.com

Montreal wuddup!

Nomore 200$ Anything...

2009-11-02T14:27:00.002-05:00

This was a response I gave some1 about me "changing up" (for the better in my opinion) my price range for what I do...

Things have changed since the last time You contacted me. Definitely
no disrespect. Im not doing the 200 dollar "sale" anymore. We both
know that my talent is worth way more than that. I try to work within
peoples budgets but they always try to get the lowest price for what
they want. I know that my name sells copys or at least turns heads
for people to check it out. I feel like that alone is worth more than
200$. Don't get me wrong. I love making music. But one of the main
points in life is to find what your good at and make a living off of
it. If you would have told me about how much you make and your
situation from the beginning maybe we could have worked something out.
As an artist Im looking at you like a record label approaching an
artist because your asking me for my musical talent in such a manner.
My starting price is *this* now because of two things...
1:
The quality
and time that I put into this art.

and 2:
the fact that you have to
start your price high when you deal with labels...because usually the
label is the 1st one to throw out a super low price.

In The Ruff is the highly anticipated debut album from new DC hip hop
group “The Diamond District”, created by state veterans Oddisee, X.O.
& YU. In The Ruff is the answer for any lover of hip hop who asks the
question - “Where did that grimy East coast sound go?”

The group was founded by rapper/ producer Oddisee, who has a long list
of production & collaboration credits with the likes of Freeway, Talib
Kweli, Siagon, Little Brother, Trek Life, Charles Hamilton, Jazzy Jeff, Buck
Shot, Royce the 5′9”, Nikki jean, Muhsinah, J-live, Lil Fame of MOP,
Skyzoo and many more. Oddisee’s soulful, haunting samples over bass-
heavy beat breaks create the perfect instrumentals for him, XO & YU to
match with their street savvy, politically conscious lyrics.

“The ware wolves wear wool suits, be ware of them…”
-YU

In The Ruff is a raw mid-90’s Boom-Bap themed album for the DC state of
mind, destined to appeal to all lovers of hip hop’s golden era, managing to
travel back in time and push the boundaries of DC Hip-Hop
simultaneously.

Check this joint out... I was goin thru a spindle of cd's n came across this joint among some other stuff. This is from the atoj days. I did the drum programing and the simple fender rhodes(dit dit dit dit dit...). This is a rare occasion where I actually wrote the lyrics also. I asked Pnut to come across the hall n play on it. He did the bass, strings and the other fender part. He ran the fender and bass through an old foot pedal he had to give it that wah-wah sound. The artist singin on here is V...

...Dope vocalist/writer.(He probably wrote some of ur favorite songs...u just dont know it.) I think he's still on tour with Jill Scott singin background. I remember feelin a real sense of accomplishment after finishin this joint... I also remember that competitive spirit between all the producers at the studio. It felt weird sometimes cuz me n Ken Wood were the "hip-hop dudes" and everybody else was "real musicians". Anyway, enuff reminiscin...

..Another classic joint...

"The Way They Are"

"We say were gonna change but do we ever really mean it?/
Ive hardly ever seen it/
Were things meant to be
...the way they are-L
...the way they are-O
...the way they are-V
...the way they are-E"
