Review: It was on October 20th in 2009 that then-rising Fresno rapper Fashawn made waves with his debut album, Boy Meets World. The project showcased heartfelt storytelling as well as skilful lyricism and soulful production exclusively handled by Exile. Fashawn's audio biography remains as relatable and fresh today as it was upon release and so to celebrate its 15th anniversary, Dirty Science Records and Coalmine Reissues present a special edition reissue of this timeless LP. Limited to 100 units, the black double album comes with hand-numbered hype stickers while Frank DeMaria redesigned the artwork and layout using original photos by the legendary B+.
Review: Frollen Music Library is a premium sample library and production house focused on live ensemble recordings and analogue production techniques. Drawing inspiration from the 60s and 70s - which is of course - the era that shaped hip-hop sampling, it provides producers with accessible, high-quality sample packs. Founded by long-time collaborators Darvid Thor, Henry Jenkins and Hudson Whitlock who are all active members of Melbourne's soul scene, the library offers a rich collection of sounds perfect for film, television and music productions. It's an essential resource for fans of artists like David Axelrod and Ennio Morricone and also makes for a good standalone listen.
