83rd Iconocastic Podcast Is A Thanksgiving Feast For Your Ears

Shouts to Audible Treats

The Podcast:

Iconocastic has returned to bring your ears a pre-Thanksgiving feast. Kicking things off is The Left with "How We Live" featuring Hassaan Mackey, a track complete with a steady beat featuring female vocals.IMAKEMADBEATS follows with decidedly introspective rhymes from Butta Verses balanced by a more lighthearted cameo from Reverend TZ. Kansas native Stik Figa collaborates with producer Oddisee once again for the more mellow "From The Top", which gives way to Rah Digga's in-your-face "Classic." A group track from Focusrounds out this installment, and his "Homage To Ali Shaheed features a host of familiar faces including Von Pea, Donwill, and Chaundon. We're sure this mix will keep you full until the real Thanksgiving, but stay tuned for the next Iconocastic podcast.

After much anticipation the Orlando (Ozone) super group Vets Of Kin (AMiAM, MyGrane McNastee, Murdoc, Shinobi Stalin, JBiz, Unique Assassin, Tone Blare, P!, Word Chemist, Clarity, and John Z. Delorean) has finally released "Pestilence", in association with The Civil Mics Movement and Domination Recordings. This is a compilation of unreleased material spanning from 2006 to the present. Most of the production was handled by the Vets while JuniAli, DJ Trax, The KickDrums, Dark Horse, and N.O.T.E filled in the blanks. This project is a collection of raw lyricism, Dope beats, and a posse cut atmosphere. Nothing more, nothing less.

MP3:"How Is Your Soul" f. Butta Verses and Reverend TZ

IMAKEMADBEATS Returns With New Track From Dual-EP, Preps Solo Debut

DOWNLOAD: IMAKEMADBEATS feat. Butta Verses & Reverend TZ - How Is Your Soul

The Song:

Producer IMAKEMADBEATS is at it once again. On the new track, "How Is Your Soul," from the forthcoming dual-EP concept album Daylight/Nightlight, the beat-maker enlists rapperButta Verses to lend his emcee-skills. The EP, which is the first music the producer has released since 2009's The Transcontinental, his collaborative project with Roc C, is in preparation for his self-titled debut on Doxside Music Group, set for release in early 2011. Though the nature of the collaborations may differ, still present is IMAKEMADBEATS' scientific approach to music, with every detail and nuance carefully thought out and in its rightful place.

Though the song features a relatively lighthearted cameo from TzariZM as "Reverend TZ," the subject matter is decidedly more introspective. "We wanted to just let them know how we felt about ourselves," IMAKEMADBEATS explains. Lines like "I'm gonna search for the truth 'till I find what I'm lookin' for / Everything I've found so far just make me look more," over an organ-heavy beat and the words of the aforementioned "Reverend," carry a message without preaching an agenda. "How Is Your Soul" is about asking questions and the result is a startlingly personal first look into IMAKEMADBEATS' newest project.

Lets Take A Trip to 2003 with "Veteran's Day"

@TzariZM dropped Dirty Work, his solo debut. Hiphopdx.com dropped a pretty good review for it. One of my favorite songs on it is called "Veteran's Day."

Salute.

The Making of the "Let You Go" Single cover

Most of the people that have approached me with comments regarding the cover art/photography for my latest single "Let You Go" featuring MidaZ, Frukwan, J Freedome, and Kinetic 9 have all thought that I found this picture somewhere searching through Google. Then, that I photoshopped it to suit the title of the song. Actually, it was all a real, planned out, serious photo shoot with photographer Relz (www.Relzlife.com) behind the camera. Feel free to click on any of the pics to get a bigger/better view of them. Detailed stuff.

I hit up Relz and told him I wanted a cover for the single relating to the title of it. Him and J Freedome had a couple of conversations, and within a couple of days they had a photo shoot planned out. Something about a corporate looking guy at the mercy of someone not so suburban....I said "well....ok...i gotta see that...hmmm...well...hmmm." I honestly didn't expect anything like what came out, which looks like the cover of an action film on DVD. But then seeing how they did it made me appreciate it even more.

A friend of Relz's by the name of Dan Granner came through to play the corporate guy. Its funny looking at the photo above, and seeing how he really wasn't hanging at all.

Damn. Shouts to Dan Granner, cuz that looks like that could hurt. After the photoshoot, I needed someone good at text/font placement. I hit up twitter and straight up asked, "Yo, anyone good at text in photoshop?" I hate using photoshop, by the way. My man Marink, who I met at Fatbeats on tour last year with Roc C, said he would give it a try. Within minutes the cover was done.

@TzariZM "LiSTeN!" prod by @Oddisee

"LiSTeN!"

Following on the heels of first single "Let You Go," Doxside Music Group and Bloggerhouse.net present "LiSTeN!," the second single from the forthcoming collaborative mixtape Dare Iz A Doxside. "LiSTeN!" finds Doxside's own TzarizM delivering his musical mission statement over production from Oddisee (Diamond District, Trek Life).

Dare Iz A Doxside will be available for free on November 1 at Bloggerhouse.net, and features exclusive tracks from Doxside artists IMAKEMADBEATS, MidaZ the Beast, Synopse, J Freedome, Ponce Beyond, TzarizM, Heart & The Brain, Butta Verses, Intelx, Phantomshino, Relz, and more.

From Doxside Music Group:

"Let You Go"- IMAKEMADBEATS bridges the gap on a new Doxside/Gravediggaz/Wu-Tang collaboration.

This unreleased gem hails from the West Coast leg of IMAKEMADBEATS' promo tour promoting 2009's The Transcontinental. Recorded in Beretta 9 of Killarmy's home, "Let You Go" also features Frukwan (Gravediggaz), and Doxside Music Group recording artists MidaZ the Beast and J.Freedome. The song has sat in the vaults until now, exactly two weeks before the Bloggerhouse.net and Doxside Music Group collaboration Dare Iz A Doxside is scheduled to be released. This fall and winter IMAKEMADBEATS will unleash his next slew of projects (Daylight/Nightlight and IMAKEMADBEATS) onto the world. Enjoy!
