“Don’t Move” - Phantogram

Even if Phantogram has never come up on your radar, you have to admire what the duo is doing in light of releases that have already come out this year. The EP this song is featured on is rightfully called Nightlife. It reeks of the kind of night-in-the-city vibe that has so far been touted by The Weeknd, but is more about romanticizing the sexy mystique than diving into the grit and sweat of the action. Without zooming the scope to heavily into the shadows created by the night, this song captures the lights that generate such sharp contrast with the darker world of the night and brings everything into focus. The Nightlife EP, coming out via Barsuk Records [link], is due November 1st. The album is also available for pre-order right now through iTunes [link].

“Smallville” (prod. J. Cole) - XV

I’m really happy right now y’all. Let me tell you why. Not only do I love XV and his brand of pop rap but he’s going over a beat by J. Cole and if you follow NSB at all you’ve seen me post about him on more than one occasion. Check out the new cut called Smallville as well as listen to him go over Kanye and Jay-Z’s H.A.M here.

On of my favorite tracks on the Mista Mista album, "No Greater love".  I recorded one of this dude's first tracks back in 2000 or something (it ended up on the B side to a Jesse Calico's Taratula 50), good to see the progression from then.

Here is the previously unreleased draft of "Broccoli" off the Neologist album.  We had both versions and were trying to decided which one to move forward with.  This one lost out but I still have a place in my heart for it.

This looks like a must see

The joke is, we produced this track for C-Rayz Walz but he forgot our production name when it came time to write the credits.  So he just put my name, "Adrian".  LOL.  No love for Illmortal Productions.

Before there was Level Media House recording studios, there was my parent's basement in the Bronx.  Big thanks to all the MCs that came through back then.
