J Dilla - Lets Pray Together x Mind Yo Business

Two of my favourite tracks from the brand new 'Dillatroit' EP, which was recently released on Kenny Dixon Jr.'s Mahogani Music label and is a collection of previously unreleased (and some unheard) Dilla tracks/beats. The EP has been released in collaboration with two organisations run by Jay Dee's family: Yancey Media Group & The J Dilla Foundation, the latter of which helps fund music programs in inner-city schools. Only available exclusively on limited edition vinyl, so get your copy HERE. Still the best to ever do it.

Balance & The Traveling Sounds - Jump To It (Official Video)

Some pool party based visuals for the lead single from Balance & The Traveling Sounds' second EP, which is called 'Lost Luggage' and is hosted by men's clothing line Orisue. As with their debut EP, 'Lost Luggage' includes a couple of covers/remakes, alongside some original material, with their funky and soulful Hip-Hop sound bringing them together to create an effortlessly cool and smooth listen. Check out the video after the jump, along with their incredible remix/mash-up of 'Cream/NoDiggity', and download the EP HERE. One of my favourite groups in the world right now.
