KEV BROWN TUMBLR

SOUTH AFRICA Kragenoff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DJ Roddy Rod and myself comin to see yall soon.

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.

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.

Incredible work done by everyone…

John Notarfrancesco : Redef Recs -

Operating a label these days means wearing many different hats and being adaptable. In addition to handling Redefinition Records’ shipping, sales, project mgmt, logistics, etc, I occasionally get to do some creative work, for which I am more than appreciative. With that said, I’m proud of this one…

“Go Green” is the latest music video for our project with Kev Brown & Kaimbr’s “Alexander Green Project.”

The Alexander Green Project is in stores now on green VINYL, CD, DIGITAL & TAPE (yes, tape.)
The Vinyl version includes a bonus 45 featuring a remix by Damu (co-owner of Redef Records).

DOWNLOAD FREE! Here, here, and here.

Today, we release this incredible promotional DJ Mekalek megaminimixxx. It’s almost 12 minutes of musical excellence hosted by Hot 97 & the “DMV’s” own Peter Rosenberg. Don’t miss the boat on this album as it’s already guaranteed to be one of the year’s best efforts.

“SONGS”

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.

• Available in Late April on(VERY, VERY, VERY) Limited Edition Green Vinyl w/ Bonus 7”, CD & TAPE available (via Redefinition Records)
  
• The bonus 7” also features a new joint called “Go Green” and a Damu Remix of “Army Fatigue Rap”

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…

The Alexander Green Project is out now! This week Kaimbr (emcee of the group), Kev Brown (producer of the album), and Hot 97′s own Peter Rosenberg (label owner the album is released on) sit down with the Subsoniq Crew to talk shop. Find out an in-depth history of the legendary Low Budget Crew (if you don’t know who they are by now, you will after hearing this). Also find out what was the inspiration was behind the Al Green sampled project, why Busta Rhymes puts Kev Brown in the same pocket as Pete Rock, Dilla, and Large Pro and who’s stealing who’s beats? All that and much more on this week’s newest Subsoniq!

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.
