Usually I wouldn’t post up production this stripped down and short but when it’s from one of the production outfits responsible for shaping Toronto’s 90s hip-hop sound, I openly make an exception. Down 2 Erf aka production duo ‘The Twins” and emcee Mathematik gave us some of Toronto’s sickest 90s era hip-hop records: from Citizen Kane’s “Reality & Facts” and “Structure, Foundation”  to “Learn 2 Earn” and “Rhyme Training” with Mathematik. I have no idea whether they’re releasing new material or even coming back together; I just happened to randomly stumble on this soundcloud page where you can hear several other beat snippets that were recently posted. Hopefully we see/hear more from these guys in the future.. meantime, enjoy.

No DJ version of Rich Kidd & the DJ Nana’s second installment in their “ VS” series featuring classic and previously unreleased material from Rich Kidd. Also features music from Blake Carrington, Tona and Saukrates with production from Arthur McArthur, Big Pops and DJ Scam.

After connecting for the “High Expectations” release we get the first taste of music off Via Linez & Lyve’s official collaborative project entitled “Trains, Automobiles & Flights”.

These two dudes have definitely reached a point in their careers where anything they drop is something I’m looking forward to hearing.
