Jean Créme – Underwater EP
Jean Créme (formerly Alem Bey / Alem Banks) recently dropped a Drum & Bass driven instrumental EP that I immediately fell in love with—start to finish. I decided to have my first listen to UNDERWATER while preparing to hit the city streets for the night, and I’ve been getting ready to it ever since. I suspect that it was designed to energize, as each track is complete with a hypnotic loop and beautifully layered sounds that beckon one to move non-stop. Even the slightly more laid back track Chopped Screws is a major hip-rocker. I would love to hear this in a bar or the clubs. Check out the project…

ROSEWATER – Gemini. and Beer & Udon / While We Pretend EP
One of my favorite new-school lyricists, Blksunchild recently began to unveil some beautiful instrumental work under the alias ROSEWATER. The first project, Beer & Udon/While We Pretend EP is lush with dreamy and curious experimental sounds. He describes its purpose, saying “It’s hard to feel nowadays, so all I want to do is promote ‘feeling.’ It’s real simple, I’m here for yall.” The frolic fully welcomes and appreciates this sort of intent! There is a major jazz flair to the track dedicated to Amy Winehouse: FlowersForAmy—which is one of my favorites from the introductory project. You’ll also hear nostalgic anime voiceovers guiding us through the songs, along with other samples…

John Scott BEATS
This Texas-born producer by the name of John Scott has all of the trappy, dreamy rhythmic and hip-hop influenced beats you may ever need. My favorite here is the flip he did of Roy Wood’s Menace. The full length album will be released in November. For now, check out some of his latest vibes below and find much more (including a download of his previous archive) through the links I’ve gathered.

Like – Emeralds
It has been a while since I have been in lost in a new and true beat tape, but Like’s latest yanked me right into its realm and I love it. The beat-maker, who is also known as a member of the super group Pac Div, recently released a solo collection of instrumentals. There are a juicy amount of songs here that I enjoy vibing to, my current favorites being Emeralds, Jazz Cats, Yola Yola, Strange Love, Inspire, and Yes Mccann. Enjoy the project in its entirety below and follow the links to support and keep up with Like! iTunes callmelike.com facebook.com/callmeLike twitter.com/Callmelike
