Future Classic: Berry Weight “Music For Imaginary Movies”

Berry Weight is a duo of musicians from Canada and Switzerland: Nico (Apewok) and Maël (Stab). Actually, I thought BW was the name of a solo beatmaker but in my defense, most of this kind of instrumental hip-hop (à la Kid Koala) is usally produced by a solo sampling-based artist. I wasn’t …

Future Classic: Boogat “Eres Hecha Para Mí”

I never bought into “post-racial” as an idea. What we are still goes a long way to explain who we are, regardless of what the politically-correct try to hammer down our collective ear. Boogat is a prime example of how one is forged in this brave new world: a Quebec …

Future Classic: Black Milk “Sunday’s Best / Monday’s Worse”

Really great to hear Detroit’s Black Milk get back to what he does best as one of the best producers in hip-hop. Crisp drums and soulful samples. In this case, a great Gospel choir hook and a bit of piano does the trick. Unfortunately it only clocks at around 2 …
