The Stuyvesants - Bring The Strings (Audio)

“Bring the Strings” is an unreleased track from our Stuyvesants project (this track is the distant cousin to “Bring the Horns”, which was track 4 on the album). This is a heavy, dirty, string sample that made for a pretty dope instrumental, however, the sound didn’t quite fit the vibe of the other tracks on the album so we sat it on the bench. Enjoy

Music You May Have Missed (Mini Rant + Music)

It always irks me when so-called hip-hop fans say that there's nothing to listen to.  The percentages of good to bad music may be down, but the overall amount of good music might be up.  The curse of the internet age is that everyone and their mother can put out music whether they have an ounce of talent or not.  The gift is that it's easier for artists to get music into the hands of their fans.  Here are some of my favorite free releases since the start of 2010.  There's definitely something for everyone:

The Stuyvesants - Brooklyn's Finest

"The Stuyvesants" is a collaborative effort between music producer Allan Cole (Algorythm), and record collector Darien Victor Birks (Flwrpt). Both reside in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, NY. The two wanted to work together on a project where they could incorporate several of their talents, related to music and design. They wanted to do this under a moniker that would pay homage to the ’70s. The collaboration allowed them to do four major things, design, beat dig, produce amazing music, and simply have fun.
