After dropping “Taxi” and “Prowler 2″ I was beginning to think 24 Hour Karate School was destined for a Nevuary 32nd release. According Ski Beatz’s new “Cream Of The Planet” video featuring Mos Def, the album is now slated for a Sept. 7 release. Mos Def drops some dope verses on this latest track minus a chorus. The Spanish horns and drums sound really smooth on this new Ski Beatz production. Please check out the video and let us know what you think.

Time to put your serious side away, folks, and just enjoy these two tracks for the pieces of trashy insanity that they are. Datahowler, formerly known as Objektiv One, has been steadily building a buzz with some new dream-pop that combines the better elements of chillwave and electronica. But when he’s not doing that, the one-man music machine puts on his drinking hat and goes balls out to create some disgustingly catchy mash ups. Yeah, we know, mash ups are gross, icky, stupid, and foolish, but for fuck’s sake, they’re also fun as hell.

Today, we bring you the first two off Datahowler‘s upcoming series of crammed-together goodies. One side A, we have “Two Words” by Kanye West, Mos Def and Freeway slammed into Stars’ “Charming”, which takes the otherwise abrasive rap joint and makes it melt into summery goodness. Side B, on the other hand, features slut-music extraordinaire Ke$ha doing her “Blah Blah Blah” bullshit over the disco stylings of Groovejet’s “Ghosts Of Venice”. Sadly, it makes me want to actually listen to her drunken skank debauchery and not shoot myself in the face. Well done, Datahowler. Well done.

The last time I really checked for Goapele was on The Hieroglyphics – “Make Your Move”. You can once again hear the smooth vocals on her latest cut with Mos Def on the feature. This unreleased version of “Different” produced by Bedrock is off Goapele’s last album Change it All.  The original album version featured Clyde Carson. This unreleased version was recorded as a remix after the album was released. Please give it a spin and let us know what you think. [via A1HH.com]

More Ski Beatz music from the upcoming 24 Hour Karate School project. This time he enlists Brooklyn emcees Jean Grae, Joell Ortiz, Mos Def along with the Jay Electronica. Ski once again goes for the minimalist approach on production but this time infusing a Rock sample. It reminds me of “Get Busy” by The Roots minus Jazzy Jeff on the scratches. Please give it a spin and lets us know what you think. Ski Beatz’ 24 Hour Karate School drops on March 30th. Props to Nahright.

For those who don’t know about Ski Beatz, he’s the producer behind two classic LP’s: Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt and Camp Lo’s Uptown Saturday Night. His latest project 24 Hour Karate School features Mos Def, Jay Electronica, Jean Grae, Joell Ortiz, Currency and many others. It is set to drop Spring 2010. For now enjoy the Mos Def feature and let us know what you think. Props to 2dopeboyz
