Diggin In The Crates W/ Jermaine Dupri

Another episode from Crate Diggers featuring Jermaine Dupri. A look in to one of hip-hops most notable producers and the record collection he digs through to create the hits you and I love. He really goes into detail about his process of record collecting and how he goes about sampling those records. He also drops a lot of jewels with great advice for all DJ's and producers. I really appreciate what he says about sampling cause its truth. Money can't be your main motivation for making a record. It sounds cliche but so true. Check Jermaine Dupri out in Crate Diggers.

Earl Sweatshirt: Chum by OFWGKTA Official

I'm really feeling this Earl Sweatshirt record. Chum is interesting from the beat to his casual word play that seems way ahead of himself. Its great to hear such a young MC take his craft seriously. Over the past year he has really grown on me as well as the rest of the ODD FUTURE movement. I like where these guys are taking it and the amount of attention they are dedicating to their work. Earl has a very entertaining lyrical flow and word play that seems to get sharper on every release. This record really has my ears. Its going to be interesting to see where this Earl Sweatshirt movement heads next.
