Weekly Digest 17

Last week we mentioned that February is Dilla Month in hip hop circles. And here we have another tribute from Atlanta’s Darryl Reeves. It's a mixtape featuring his band’s renditions of their favorite Dilla beats. The Dillaquarium Mixtape features live covers of “Fantastic”, "Donut Man” and five other reworked Dilla beats. DOWNLOAD The Dillaquarium Mixtape - 2013 Pop-experimentalist Mo Kolours completes his trilogy of EPs for One-Handed Music with EP3 titled Tusk Dance. Mo Kolours’ first two releases have established him as a singular voice as he explores the rhythmic possibilities of his mix of soul, dub, hip hop, the Sega music of his homeland, and various electronic styles. The most introspective collection so far, Tusk Dance is the best opportunity yet to glimpse the otherworldly visions of this unique singer, producer and percussionist. Whether you like the hip hop/pop style of Hoodie Allen or not, you have to respect this dudes work ethic. Now we got treated to his latest mixtape titled "Crew Cuts". It's been featured in a boatload of blogs and Hoodie has a unique stye unlike so many other mixtape rappers these days, so it deserves a mention in our weekly digest.
