Blame One – RIP x Small Town Cops x Touches Me x The Chor Boogie

My bad, I didn’t mean to ignore this blog for a full week. I’m really trying to be better about updating this consistently. But I caught a cold last week and have been hopped up on drugs most of the time. Also, I couldn’t get myself to just aggregate content like I’d intended. It felt too cheap and lord knows I don’t need to be selling myself out for not-money on my own free time. I do that plenty at work already.

Despite my sickly state, I have been digging up more San Diego raps, thanks to some Twitter stalking. Blame One leaked out tweeted these four joints sometime recently.

Blame One “RIP” “As The World Turns” [prod. Rip One]
“RIP,” which might actually be named Actually IS named “As The World Turns,” sees Blame talking shit on wack new emcees, always connecting it with his sense of esoteric spiritualism.

Exile chops up some ill Mafia-esque strings. Blame recounts how his esoteric spiritualism got him in trouble with the 5-0.

Blame One “Touches Me” [prod. Exile]
Music is awesome. And music is a woman.

Blame spits an ode to a dear friend for the purposes of a documentary on said friend, who painted this hotel room.

Exile @ Access Hip-Hop

Exile, Angeles-based producer behind independent underground hit Below The Heavens with rapper Blu, will be dropping by backpack haven Access Hip-Hop in Pacific Beach this Friday in promotion of his new instrumental album, Radio. The new record, which just dropped last week, sounds kinda wack upon first listen but I’ll let you know if I change my mind. But regardless, seeing him at Access would be a good look if he decides to perform, in which case you’ll get to check out some really cool button-pushing. Plus, he might bring someone tight like Oh No or Blame One with him (on the other hand, he might bring Aloe Blacc with him, euyghck). Exile shows SD a lot of love so you should reciprocate if you’re in the area.

More button-mashing after the jump. Does anyone else think that MPC’s are basically old, unused King of Fighters arcade cabinets converted into sound toys?

DOWNLOAD: Blame One ft. Sean Price – Disturbed [prod. Exile]

Blame One’s first single off Days Chasing Days, set for release January 2009. Exile is capitalizing on the shine he got from last year’s Below The Heavens and shoving his rapper homies down his label’s throat. And as long as Exile’s behind the boards, that’s perfectly fine. Blame doesn’t mesh well with Jesus Price but they’re both serviceable enough. Exile rips this beat apart, doing that Donuts thing with the vocal samples, chopping them up in an interruptible way and using them as instruments in awkward but really genius ways, all on top of these sick sax cuts that he also chops awkwardly. I’m looking forward to the Blame album because he and Exile have good chemistry. And as a San Diegan, I’d much rather ride for Blame One than freakin Mitchy Slick.
