[COMPLETE] The Essence Playlist of the Month February 2011

[RuffDraft]

Here's my two tracks to kick The Essence Playlist of the Month February 2011 off, try to follow my lead with a sentence describing your choice of tracks:

Son of Ran - Incoming Message

The album title track from Son of Ran and the Messangers album, completely dope from beat to his rhymes, a real laid back track that is a perfect kick start to the playlist, IMO.

Big K.R.I.T - Somedayz

Not his biggest fan as I've not checked enough of him, but this song is set to change that, as I think it's original and benefits from a dope video. "Damn, one day I'm gon' die... somedayz".

First track is Son of Ran and The Messangers - Incoming Message - Great album, I made a thread about him a while back but it was slept on, unfortunately. He's one of my biggest discoveries in recent memory... great artist.

Here's the thread: A Tribute to Sky City (2006) - free album.

Also, Incoming Message (2008) thread.

Props on the two tracks :tu

Thanks for the drop, is this independent hip hop music? If not, it won't be added to the playlist, sorry to waste your time if so...

what are you talkin about

 

[RuffDraft]

what are you talkin about

lol read the original post:

The Essence Playlist of the Month started back in 2006 and has since continued for the most part in between 'upgrades'. It has always been at the forefront of The Essence and with enough people posting nowadays, we can bring it back!!!

How it works:

Posters upload their two favourite tracks that they've been playing of late and up them to mediafire.com. The links are then posted here in this thread and at the end of the month, I'll upload them all as one succinct playlist that flows like water. If 10 posters participate, that's a 20 song playlist for us to bump in March whilst the March playlist of the month is populated. It works well and should make for another great thread :tu The only rule is that the music MUST be from an Independent, Underground or under-the-radar artist, The Roots and similar artists CAN be contributed to the thread, but 50 Cent and other mega superstars are NOT to be included.

How to upload to mediafire.com:

• Visit www.mediafire.com
• Click on the big green button entitled 'UPLOAD to mediafire'
• Click on 'Click Here To Upload'
• Select 'Browse' and find the tracks that you wish to upload from the correct folder on your computer.
• Once selected, select 'upload more files' and select your next track.
• Finally, select 'Begin Uploading Files' and your two tracks will be uploaded to mediafire.
• Once completed, the website will present you with a URL (link) that will allow others to view your files. Copy this link and copy it into your post in this thread.

Essence Essentials will continue, check the latest Essence Essentials in the Old & New thread or the current stickied thread :tu

Basically, tomorrow, you will have all the tracks that are posted in this thread as a zip file for people to listen to for the next month.

Basically, all the favourite songs of posters in The Essence for February 2011. All of whom are independent artists who you can discover because of the thread. We've been doing it for years, but this is the first since the I.C's re:birth. At last we have enough posters.
