I was perusing some of the better sites out there the other day when I landed on We’ve Got the Jazz, which happens to feature one of the better names in all of the unholy Internets. They had posted a collection of tracks from Detroit artist 14KT’s SoundCloud account that essentially ran the gamut from his work with Danny Brown to his remixes of the likes of PPP and Erykah Badu. Considering how much we dig KT’s stuff here at Potholes, I just had to post it just in case you might have missed it elsewhere. I know it’s a little cumbersome downloading these tracks individually. But come on, free music from 14KT? Deal with the frustration.

Hit the skip to download the tracks and stream his remix of PPP’s “On a Cloud” below.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. This mix has been out for a lil’ while now. I know. But it was until yesterday that a version was released with separated tracks. Perhaps Magestik Legend realized that my Last.FM-addicted-ass wasn’t down with scrobbling one long mp3. Or — this is more likely — he realized that a tracked version just works better. Either way, this is more of that dope Detroit hip-hop you need to have in your life sooner than later. I just hope we can another official project from Magestik. I mean, I appreciate stuff like this, especially considering the quality of music on To Be Continued…Chapter 1. The mere fact he’s got production on here from Astronote, Bean One, and 14KT is reason enough to check this out and be satisfied. But I’m just saying I’d like a proper record.

Hit the skip to download To Be Continued…Chapter 1 and stream “Day Break” below. And don’t be afraid, the Bandcamp doesn’t require you to pay for this. Just enter a zero in the payment option. Or you could be a good person and donate some funds.

Words by 14Kt; Exclusive remix I did for my brothers, a group called Now On off “The Willows EP” released exclusively on Japanese label Subcontact in 2007. Originally, the track had Ty of Ty & Kori on it. Now On decided to add Stonesthrow artist Aloe Blacc, to give the track a different feel from the original. I remember making this remix in like 15 minutes! That’s a record for me! In the first version of this beat, I added some random horns at the end of the track to give it that classic ol’ school jazzy Hip-Hop feel. I chopped the same horns that were used in a track I did for Buff1 called “Pretty Baby” in 06′. Its funny cause they don’t sound alike. Please give it a spin and let us know what you think.
