Blossom - Dusk featuring Jehst (Video)

BL

First of all, shouts to Verb T and Dr. Syntax for making me aware of this project. I saw them both link to this new video from Polish producer Blossom and I'm happy they did. This is likely to have passed me by.

The track "Dusk" features UK legend Jehst on a very clouded and broken down beat that adds an ethereal element to his poignant lyrics as the song progresses.

Check out the great video below. The track is included on the album "The Longest Journey" which is available physically through HHV.de and digitally on Bandcamp or iTunes.

QB

Well, it's not the project a lot of people were hoping for, but rather a collection of classic tracks that Q-Tip and Busta Rhymes have appeared on together, sprinkled with a couple of new sounds. It's a nice little reminder and retrospective to throw on the MP3 player though. And, it's free. Who complains about free stuff?
