Announcement
Bad News: The WestComeUp has lost it's right hand man (my laptop) for at least a week. I'm having some problems with the graphics card (NVIDIA 9600M GT), but I hope it will all be sorted out within a week. In the mean time, I'll try to procure another temporary laptop. But expect posts to be on the light side because of the laptop issues, finals week, and graduation. Perfect timing...

DJ Touré Ft. Emakulant - Tarantula (Music Video)
Chances are if you have been listening to any Bay Area hip-hop in the last two decades, or so, then you've become familiar with countless DJ Touré beats. This now widely recognized producer got his start DJing with the Hieroglyphics Crew and since has fashioned signature beats with his production company, 101% Music, which has behind many of Cali's rising acts. Now in 2011, DJ Touré is gearing up for his own release, Touré's Theory, which will be released via Interdependent Media, later this year. As a teaser for the full-length, Toure is leaking this video and song, featuring the Oakland MC Emakulant, in what is likely to become one of the album's bonus tracks.

Oddisee - Mental Liberation (Free Album)
After organizing session files on the harddrive, some Oddisee bonus materials from the "Mental Liberation" vaults have been rediscovered. It was such a pleasure finding them, that we decided to post them up and give the entire album and unearthered bonus materials away free all week!
The bonus material includes two instrumentals: one which was previously exclusive to Japanese vinyl is called "Is That Why You're Here?" and is a particularly jazzy track, heavy on the horns; the second is also horn heavy with an irregular drum pattern and is entitled "Revival". The third bonus cut is a track Oddisee produced that Motion Man laid 3 verses over called "Holding It Back".
In addition, there is of course the classic 2009 producer's album, Mental Liberation, which features J-Live, Rapper Pooh, Georgia Anne Muldrow, MED, Black Milk, Finale, Invincible, LMNO, Hassaan Mackey, Prince Po, Dudley Perkins, Silent Knight, XO, yU, Trek Life, Kenn Starr, Stik Figa, Bilal Salaam, DJ Clear, and DJ Romes.
