Gensu Dean - Lo-Fi Fingahz (Instrumentals)
Following on from the success of his debut solo album, Gensu Dean & Mello Music Group are now giving the instrumental version of the LP away for free! The original is proabably my favourite Hip-Hop record of the year so far, and this instrumental version tells Gensu's story in a whole new light and proves that BoomBap is still well and truly alive. Download for free HERE, buy the orignal HERE.
Common - Be (Instrumentals) (Free Download)
With the release of his ninth studio album just around the corner, what better a time to revisit one of Common's classics. 'Be' was the sixth album from the Chicago-born rapper and was released in 2005 on G.O.O.D. Music and Geffen Records. The album was primarily produced by fellow Chicagoan and G.O.O.D. Music label owner KanYe West - it peaked at #2 on the Billboard 200 album chart and was Common's second album to sell over 500,000 copies (over 800,000 copies sold). A classic in every sense of the word and some of the best Hip-Hop production of the 21st Century. Listen to two instrumentals below and pick up all 12 HERE. My favourite rapper of all-time.
Go (Prod. KanYe West)
Love Is... (Prod. J Dilla)

DJ Premier - Will Sessions Instrumentals
With the impending release of The Elmatic Instrumentals, DJ Premier took some time to check out the new interpretations of some of his classic productions, as covered by Detroit band Will Sessions. After explaining the background behind the beat for Memory Lane, he's predictably impressed with the new instrumental versions for Represent and Detroit State of Mind. This is amazing. The Elmatic Instrumentals will be released worldwide on September 27 on CD, 180g Vinyl, and digital formats.
