ESP Video: Shaolin Wu Cap

by

Recently I purchased the Shaolin Wu cap from AmazingStore.jp and wanted to make a video of the cap coming out of the box. The stitching and quality is just what you expect from a New Era cap, excellent. Shaolin and the Wu-Tang logo are on the front of the cap with Applebum logo and Wu-Tang name on the back. On the inside label it says “OG edition”. Overall I feel this cap does Wu-Tang proud and I will wear it that way. Check out the video to see it in action.

ESP Music Agenda: New Dillon & Mystik Journeymen EPs

by

Usually I would wait until the end of the month or even listened to the albums before I try to put them up. These two releases are the exception because Dillon has proving his musically prowess on his album, “Studies In Hunger” and the Mystik Journeymen (of Living Legends) need no introduction with years of quality of hip-hop. Another reason for the urgency is that the Dillion – Cupid’s Revenge: The Ain’t Shit Suite is free for this week only. Mystik Journeymen (Sunspot Jonz and Luckyiam) – Return 2 The Love is their first release as a group since 2002.

Auto Reverse Future Ape Tapes

by

If you remember auto reverse then you had a cassette collection of hip-hop that you lost once you went digital. Fast forward and now we have another F.A.T. update from our favorite internet neighbor, Future Ape Tapes to add to our digital collection. While us mortal humans toil away at our daily lives, Future Ape Tapes have begun to build “Temples”. Their “Temples” consists of musical sound waves that will crash against your ear lobes. If you have not gotten it yet “Temples” is the brand new album from F.A.T. The first song on the album titled, “Mirror Images” just made me keep hitting repeat. On their Bandcamp site you can “Name Your Price” for their new album which includes a video of their first single, “GameGirl”. Also you can check out their other releases which I own and also highly recommend.

Temples, as an album is about stumbling onto something that is thriving now but could be lost forever in the future.

Super Barrio Bros. In Giving Mood

by

So this Christmas Dumbfoundead and I have decided that you all should enjoy this CD in your iPod or CD player for FREE, on us. ~8 Bit Bandit

Super Barrio Bros. consist of emcee Dumbfoundead and producer 8 Bit Bandit which put out the 8 bit music (think Super Mario Bros. background music but more involved or evolved) slammed together with Hip-Hop. I have always wanted this album since I heard samples on their myspace page. Now everyone including myself can enjoy this fine release. Great way to start off the holiday season with some festive Super Barrio Bros. sounds to help through the new year. Get the album here and more 8 Bit Bandit releases on his tumblr.
