Free LP: SDSC ( Soul Daad & Stereo Crew) – AMSTERTROIT

Today Stereo Crew & Soul Daad release their free LP “AMSTERTROIT”. As the title hints, this album is a result of Detroit and Amsterdam collaborating.
Stereo Boyz & Stereo Crew teamed up with Amsterdam’s Soul Daad recently to produce and record “Amstertroit”. The two teams of MCs and Producers first met on Twitter, exchanging beats and ideas. Amazed by the undeniable talent coming from overseas, the Stereo Boyz picked 3 beats by Soul Daad members Gianski & Bolle for their upcoming album “Carz, Clubz & Theaterz”.
During their recent Europe Tour, the Stereo Boyz met the Soul Daad crew in person for the first time, and after a whole week in their Amsterdam headquarters, “AMSTERTROIT” was born. The LP consists of production and vocals from both crews, bilingual raps and great chemistry.
Mixo says: “We wanted to show a unity with this project, a unity in Hip Hop that, it seems, has been forgotten. This is positivity. This shows you that Hip Hop brings people together, and no language barriers or far distance can stop it.”
“AMSTERTROIT” is now available for free download. Look out for the video to “Ooh La La”, dropping in three weeks.

Free Album: 2 Dash Tone – La Belle Epoque
Without further adieu, my latest project … La Belle Epoque.
Free LP: Marco Polo – “Newport Authority 2″
“The Newport Authority 2 album was inspired by politics & industry bullsh*t that prevented this material from being included on my upcoming LP PA2: The Director’s Cut. Shylow and I went in and created a separate album to hold people over until PA2 drops in July. Attached with Intro, interludes and fully mixed & mastered by Joe Nardone. With confidence I can say this is not a mixtape. It will also be available on vinyl LP via Fat Beats for the heads that appreciate physical product, because I still do. I’ve included songs I recorded with legends such as Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Tragedy Khadafi, Lil Fame and The Artifacts. But, I’ve also got joints on here with some talented up and comers such as First Division, MidaZ and Big Gutta. Plus the sh*t is free – so enjoy!”-Marco Polo

Free Album: Harris Rudman – Alone Time
I’m a 20 year old independent artist from Sacramento, California. I just released a free album that I’m very proud of, produced in full by my two homies, Cameron Feeney & Brian Lentz (Mixed by Brian Lentz too). It’s called Alone Time. Like ya’ll, art and creation is what drives my life every day, and I remain satisfied if one person or 1,000 people hear my music….but I’d rather the love be shared. The tape has a pretty diverse feel, and we love them old samples. My influences stretch from Del Tha Funky Homosapien to Outkast to Kanye to Atmosphere to new shit like Action Bronson, Roc Marciano, Ab-Soul.
