Preemish: Frankenstein – The Projects (Remix) (Prod. by Frankenstein)

What’s up everybody, I used to had this category where I posted tracks with a beat that sounds a lot like Premos signature sound to fill the site and make it more dope. Because we all know his signature sound sounds the phattest. Meanwhile it’s a long time ago I posted some new Preemish because of my time schedule (work etc, i started this blog to fill my time because i had no job, time changes). So i’m giving out this category to my man FubiZz from Germany. Go do your wicked thing xD, hate it or love it… FubiZz presents Preemish:

Hey folks,

who doesn’t love Preemo’s signature sound? Or more precisely said: his sicknature sound cause his style is sick by nature. Now, personally I have to say I’m glad to see that a lot of producers are heavily influenced by Premier’s style. Don’t blame them for being copycats cause at the end of the day that’s what everybody is, even Premier himself is a copycat as well. By selecting what you copy you just show on which bus you’re riding with. Further, who wants to miss the Premier style when the day comes there won’t be any more beats by the master himself?

So, that being said, here we make a start with the very talented Canadian MC and producer Frankenstein a.k.a. Frankie Ano. His music style comes straight from the golden era, you can hear the influence from the likes of Preemo, Pete Rock, Da Beatminerz, Large Pro etc. He does all the nasty things to the listener; his limited edition album “Studio Sessions Worx in Progress” will melt your needles and his EP “UV”, the remix compilation album “Live from New York”, plus numerous ill 12 inches will break you necks. Be sure to check out his stuff if you haven’t so far, I recommend listening to his joint “Agony and Ecstasy” which is a secret classic. Unfortunately Frank disappeared from the scene as mysteriously as he appeared. For this preemish post we will give you a listen of his remix for his joint “The Projects”, produced by Frankanstino himself: punchy kicks, snares more crispy than corn flakes, samples chopped like Suey, spiced with fizzy hats and garnished with a thick bass, Bon Appétit!

Bahamadia Announces Fourth Album “HERE” With Possible DJ Premier Collabo

Bahamadia has announced her upcoming fourth album HERE, dropping in late Summer or Fall. The LP, releasing via her B-Girl Records shingle, will feature a guest appearance from Foreign Exchange and will feature production from UK duo Ty & Drew, as well as several up-and-coming beatsmiths.

“HERE is an offering of quality, purpose driven hip hop music available for consumption to anyone seeking an alternative to what’s currently being exploited,” she told HipHopDX.com. “The entire project I believe showcases my artistic evolution. HERE is intended to be experienced as a collective body of work. Every song included on it is impacting. I opt to allow supporters of my movement to express how my music affects them. The response will vary I am sure.”

In addition to Ty & Drew, the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania rapper is in talks with DJ Premier to lend his production touch to the project. “[I] am currently in discussion with Premier who is just as excited as I to reunite creatively,” said Baha, noting that she’s contemplating a tribute to Guru on the LP. “Am undecided. Maybe, though.”

The album marks her first release since 2006’s Good Rap Music, a delay that she explains is typical. “Since I began creating full-length projects professionally if you’ve noticed there’s usually a 4-5 lapse between each release,” she continued. “During those time lapses I am blessed to tour internationally, evolve artistically, and live my life basically. From a business standpoint did some revamping started my own label B-Girl Records finally.”

In staying true to her organic, jazz-inflected sound, Baha reflected on the current state of hip-hop.

“First and foremost I consider myself to be an eclectic artist. During the time of my official introduction to the industry of music my sound while ‘organic’ in nature was diverse and still is today,” she continued. “The jazz influence was reflective of my musical taste hence direction at one point seemingly more common practice for me because jazz elements complimented cadences being explored. Besides Gang Starr, Tribe, Freestyle Fellowship, The Roots and a few others many facets of incorporating jazz had yet to be implemented in hip hop song format masterfully. The state of hip hop music and culture overall is what it is. I am hopeful the near future will bring about balance as it relates to adequate exposure for ALL practitioners within our global artistic community.”

As for what comes after HERE’s release, she plans on keeping up with her philanthropic work and fleshing out business ideas. “I was created to do music in this life so definitely will be involved with it in some form or another until my time on earth expires,” she stated. “Have become heavily involved in working with disenfranchised youth as well as continuing to hone my entrepreneurial skills through various ventures.”
