Paper Diamond - Levitate

if Paper Diamond is a new name to you, its not your fault. If Alex B is a new name to you, though, you've been missing out on some awesome beat music. We have posted on Mr. B before, and Paper Diamond is his new alias. With a debut EP. A FREE debut EP. and you know how we love free EPs from our favorite producers. Its absolutely excellent - fat bass, levitous synths... definitely cop this shit. Less abstract/atmospheric than his other stuff, but that not at all a bad thing. Without further adue:

XLR8R Podcast - Alex B

This here's Alex B. We've posted on him before. He's a beat music producer based in Colorado, and this podcast he did for XLR8R is pretty much comprised of 100% utter JAMS. So go grab it! He also owns a record label/clothing line/jack-of-all-trades company called Elm and Oak. His album Moments came out a while back, you can buy it here and I seriously suggest you do. Amazing producer, good to see that awesome experimental/hip-hop/electronic shit is coming out of other places than just LA.

Alex B Legit

Currently zooming around the blogosphere is this track by Mr. Alex B, a funky, glitchy, 8-bit-tastic piece of glorious beat music that leaves you wanting more than the 2:13 it gives you. Great synths, a godly boom-kat, bouncy bass, and awesome layered production to boot.

You And I Both Know – Alex B

His record Moments drops April 6 on Elm And Oak, the multi-purpose music/graphics/merch label he runs, and I’m seriously considering getting it simply on the basis of this one track.

NB: Above track mixes incredibly well with this B-Legit instrumental. They have literally the same melodic line (bya-da-da-da-duh) at the exact same time, it's so great:

Blocked 4 Life – B-Legit

God I love this beat. It’s the music used in this pop-off between an old hip-hop teacher of mine (Miss Funk) and some other talented guy who calls himself Jet Li. Pretty badass:
