DJ Manipulator & Louie Gonz feat. Blu – This Sound [Audio x Download]

May 28, 2017 P.R. 0 Comments Blu, DJ Manipulator, Louie Gonz

With their highly anticipated new album “The Loops” coming very soon, the Massachusetts-based duo of DJ Manipulator and Louie Gonz delivers an appetizer in the form of “This Sound”. It’s a raw and addictive collaboration with West Coast heavy-hitter Blu, who’s further cementing his status as one of the best guest vocalists in the game. Before the Los Angeles emcee takes the mic, however, we’re treated to the talents of Manipulator and Gonz. The two have recorded together in various fashions over the years, and released the album “Private Stock” in 2014. But consider “The Loops” a reintroduction—and a damn fine one at that. The entire album’s fueled by tracks like “This Sound”, which showcases Manipulator’s ridiculous sample flips and loops fronted by Gonz’s immaculate rhymes. And this is evident immediately, with the emcee opening the track with: “Ayo, my pockets gettin’ fat/ Yours? Lookin’ like a diet/ I stay on my hustle, man/ Don’t knock it ‘til you try it/ Brother stays covered with gold, I’m like a pirate/ You a giant? You could say I’m David to Goliath.” The quotables continue piling up from there, to the point you won’t think twice when you hear Gonz proclaim that he and Manipulator are taking over this rap thing. You can hear “This Sound” now. “The Loops” is due out June 9 and will be available on all major streaming services and digital retailers.

DJ Manipulator – Jazz Is Everything (Mix) [Audio x Download]

February 6, 2017 P.R. 0 Comments DJ Manipulator

With his expertly crafted and all-vinyl new mix, Massachusetts-based deejay/producer DJ Manipulator shows love to the genre that birthed Hip-Hop as we know it. “Jazz Is Everything” is thirty music-packed minutes of Jazz cuts that later served as the inspiration (and backbone) of a bevy of classic rap joints. From start to finish, Manip uses “Jazz Is Everything” to drive home the point that Jazz is indeed damn-near everything. That’s because all of the material on here have been sampled in one way or another (and often multiple times) to create the instrumentals of so many beloved songs. And those songs run the gamut from De La Soul’s “Stakes Is High”, to Method Man & Redman’s “Maaad Crew”, to Gang Starr’s “ALONGWAYTOGO”. The end result is a wonderfully mixed tip of the hat to both the original artists (including Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, and Stevie Wonder) and the hip-hop legends who sampled them (including J Dilla, Pete Rock, and Clark Kent). It also helps to educate younger listeners just getting into Hip-Hop—and hopefully Jazz, too—and those older heads just looking for something smooth to listen to this weekend. DJ Manipulator dropped his latest original music, the Conway-featured burner “2 Drums“, this past fall. Expect more from the deejay/producer in the coming months, but until then, kick back with this funky and, of course, jazzy mix. Hit the jump for the full tracklisting.

DJ Manipulator feat. Conway – 2 Drums [Audio]

September 8, 2016 P.R. 0 Comments 2 Chainz, DJ Manipulator

Massachusetts native DJ Manipulator made some noise this year after supplying D.I.T.C. with two bangers on their latest LP, D.I.T.C. Studios, and he’s continuing his winning streak this year with a grimy new single, “2 Drums,” featuring rugged New York spitter, Conway The Machine. As the track’s title implies, there’s more to “2 Drums” than a single presentation of sounds. That’s because Manipulator switches up the beat halfway through, providing listeners with a double-dose of slappers that’s likely to snap some necks. And if they don’t, he can rely on Conway to take on the role of a bruiser and cause some grave damage to anyone frontin’: “I’m the ni**a who you gotta watch how you speak to/ Break ni**as’ jaws, through a straw he gotta eat soup.” “2 Drums” is but a mere sampling of what Manipulator has in store for Hip-Hop heads in the next few months. That’s because the track serves as the first single off his forthcoming debut album, ‘Stranger Than Paradise,’ which is set to drop in early ’17. Until then, you can keep “2 Drums” on repeat, but be careful: it may cause you to bare a permanent screw face. “2 Drums” is now available through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms, via Backcourt Records.
