Rhythm Roulette w/ araabMUZIK [Video]

For this episode of Rhythm Roulette, Mass Appeal linked up with araabMUZIK. If you start making music for the Diplomats before you’re supposed to graduate from high school, you better pray that you’re consistently at the top of your game. That’s what araabMUZIK has been doing and then some. The Rhode Island producer has made a name for himself, in more than one way. His live MPC sets are dizzying and his imagination behind the boards is still expanding. He also miraculously survived a gunshot to the head in an attempted robbery in Harlem earlier in February. But he pushed through and released his album Dream World in July and produced Joe Budden’s last album Rage & The Machine. As you can assume, it was only a matter of time before we got araab for Rhythm Roulette. We hit up Moodies Records in the Bronx and ended up with CDs from Blue Magic, Diana Ross & The Supremes, and The Dramatics (he’s not messing with vinyl). Then back at the studio with his AKAI MPC, araabMUZIK chops up samples and does what he does best. Layer after layer, he builds in his signature sound and producer drops for what could be the intro to the next Dipset album.

Torii Wolf – Body [Audio]

Torii Wolf is back with her new single, “Body”. Similar to her previous singles, “1st” and “Shadows Crawl,” Torii continues to display an innate ability to channel mood over araab’s canvas with “Body.” “There is nothing like the hot summer rain in New York. It has always felt so sexy to me” Torii relayed to Complex. “That heat, the heat caused by friction and deep connection. I wrote this song about how much I need to torrentially fall with the rain.” With a hip-hop king who has a habit of contributing and producing historic projects behind the boards, Torii Wolf and DJ Premier’s forthcoming collaborative union bum-rushes the walls of genre, age, and expectations to let the world know there’s a Flow Riiot going on. Listen below.
