Recommended If You Like Thread - June 13, 2020

Posted: 13 Jun 2020 11:04 AM PDT

If you're looking for a recommendation give a description/music link/artist so that other people will know what you want.

Example: I want to hear an artist that sounds like old Kanye (you can get more specific but that's enough imo). And then someone will respond with X, Y, and Z

You can also recommend an artist/project/scene

Example: You guys should check out DJ Mustard's mixtape Ketchup RIYL (recommended if you like) post-hyphy and minimalistic west coast beats.

Remember, the point of this thread is to share music, try not to post stuff that's already really popular unless it answers someone's question.

Also the more descriptive you guys are with your posts the easier it is to help you find what you want, just stating an artists name isn't that helpful since you might only like one specific aspect of that artist's music.

Look through past posts here

America's Independent Music Venues Could Close Soon Due To Coronavirus: 90% of independent music venues could close, according to a new survey

Posted: 13 Jun 2020 09:11 AM PDT

Link to NPR story by Anastasia Tsioulcas:

Across the country, music venues remain closed due to the pandemic — and according to a new survey, 90 percent of independent venue owners, promoters and bookers say that they will have to close permanently within the next few months, if they can't get an infusion of targeted government funding.

The survey of nearly 2,000 music professionals was conducted by the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA), a recently established advocacy group for music venue owners and promoters. Its members include The Bowery Ballroom in New York City, Troubador in Los Angeles, 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. and Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.

NIVA members were asked seven weeks ago if their businesses could remain open for six months without governmental assistance that went beyond the Payment Protection Program

The association points out that at this point, most musicians make the bulk of their income through live performances and touring — which they can't do for the foreseeable future. The entertainment business is scheduled to be among the very last industries to reopen across the country, and many experts and industry leaders are now assuming that they won't be able to reopen before 2021.

Even if venues were allowed to reopen sooner, public health restrictions like severely limited audience capacity would make their businesses economically unviable, the venue owners and promoters say. As a result, NIVA is looking to Congress to pass specific relief funding that would address their members' needs.

In early April, the concert industry trade publication Pollstar estimated nearly $9 billion in industry losses due to coronavirus cancellations for 2020; on Monday, the advocacy group Americans for the Arts released its most recent impact findings, saying that 62 percent of American artists (across all disciplines) are now unemployed.

Whenever people eventually do go back out to hear live music, smaller clubs, festivals and niche artists may already be gone. Within the music community, performers and industry advocates have been expressing fear that the remaining music venues will be those owned and controlled by massive entities like Live Nation and AEG Presents. (On Monday, AEG Presents announced that it was taking significant steps to cut costs, including layoffs, furloughs and salary reductions.)

A number of prominent musicians are publicly supporting the association's quest for federal relief, including Billy Joel, Lady Gaga, Kacey Musgraves and Willie Nelson.

[DISCUSSION] Slum Village - Fantastic, Vol. 2 (20 Years Later)

Posted: 13 Jun 2020 10:56 AM PDT

Today marks the 20th anniversary of Slum Village's sophomore effort, Fantastic, Vol. 2.

The album was recorded as early as 1998, but didn't meet its release date until almost two years later in 2000 after an uphill battle of leaks and the closure of A&M Records.

Entirely produced by J. Dilla (with some additional co-production from Pete Rock and D'Angelo) and rooted in his signature sound of crisp clap drums and smooth bass (spiced with sample-heavy approach), Vol. 2 would become one of the crown jewels of the Soulquarian crew and a cult classic.

Make no mistake about it. This project is all about the beats. While Slum Village get the job done on the mic, I personally don't think this album would suffer much if it was only an instrumental album.

In some way, I can see similarity between this album and DJ Premier-produced Livin' Proof by the rap duo Group Home - with both albums being pet projects of a legendary producer where the production easily outshines the otherwise unexceptional rapping.

[FIRST IMPRESSION] KEY! - I Love You Say It Back!

Posted: 13 Jun 2020 10:44 AM PDT

Release Thread

From Hypebeast:

Atlanta rapper KEY! returns with his latest full-length project dubbed I Love You Say It Back featuring production work from TrapMoneyBenny and Kenny Beats. For the better part of the past decade, KEY! has been making continual strides to drop solid music on his own terms, standing out from the Atlanta trap scene thanks to his singular penchant for melody, his fearlessness to flex his singing chops and his undeniable charisma when he hops on a track. KEY! will pop up with something as strong as SO EMOTIONAL, his signature balance of humor and heartbreak on full display, only to fall back to relative anonymity a few months later. His 777 collaboration with Kenny Beats remains to be one of the best if not most overlooked hip-hop records of the past half-decade.

So what does KEY! have in-store on I Love You Say It Back? The project kicks off with "Bottom of the Bottle," a piano driven ballad of an intro produced by longtime collaborator TrapMoneyBenny. It's an emotional proclamation with the rapper floating through substances and some vocoder croons in the backdrop. "Sugar & Rice" furthers the spirit of the Miami-tinged SO EMOTIONAL with nods to Will Smith and Jada P and references Andre Iguodala and Denzel Washington in Glory rather effortlessly. The Kenny Beats-produced "Vibin" is the perfect mid-point full of falsetto vocals, Nextel mobile phone chirps and the occasional reminder to "open up that mosh-pit."

"Boys Don't Cry" is probably the most KEY!sian release on the project as he sings through self-medication and drops this gem: "Boys don't cry, hurricane season but it's category 5." Most rappers wouldn't be able to make that line work with the sincerity that KEY! does. The album wraps up with "YND" featuring music videos that simply can't be embedded here.

[DISCUSSION] Three 6 Mafia - When The Smoke Clears: Sixty 6, Sixty 1 (20 Years Later)

Posted: 13 Jun 2020 02:57 AM PDT

20 years ago today, Three 6 Mafia dropped their 4th studio album, When The Smoke Clears, which gave the legendary Memphis rap group their first taste of mainstream success that was to come, earning them their first RIAA platinum certification in the process.

Coming a long way from their dark, atmospheric, lo-fi sounding debut Mystic Stylez, the producer duo of DJ Paul & Juicy J continued evolving the formula of a more polished approach to production established earlier on Chapter 1: The End and laced this album with hard-hitting, 808-heavy proto-trap/crunk production that would influence the future sound of mainstream hip hop.

Unfortunately, the album also served as Three 6 Mafia's final body of work featuring all its original members, as Koopsta Knicca would be forced out of the group due to legal issues and Gangsta Boo would leave due to money disputes.
