Pro P & Dj Aki – Keep it Movin 24 bars

The process of producing, writing and recording an album is time-consuming. More time-consuming than some people ever imagine. Therefor we decided to just throw a little something out there to let ya’ll know we are alive and kickin’!

Pro P & Dj Ak bjuder på en smakbit denna fredag på vad som komma skall. Keep it Movin 24 bars” som låten heter skrevs, producerades och spelades in under en och samma dag.

Professor P & DJ Akilles – This Is It

I höstas släppte duon Maintain EP och har sedan dess turnerat runt både själva men även som förband till Daniel Adams-Ray. De bägge singlarna (Fallin’ och Do What’s On Your Mind feat. Timbuktu) har roterats på radio och mottagits väl i vårt avlånga land.

I den nya singeln This Is It får vi följa de motsättningar som Professor P & Akilles slits mellan; livet på scen och extrajobben på sidan av för att klara hyran. Videon är producerad av den flitiga Critical för Basementality, som i sin tur aldrig verkar tröttna på den svenska hiphop-scenen. Utöver det är låten givetvis producerad av Professor P & Dj Akilles samt mastrad av den mästerliga Erik L.

I november förra året släppte Professor P & DJ Akilles EP:n “Maintain EP”. Första singeln, “Do what’s on your mind”, med Timbuktu har roterat på en rad av Sveriges Radios kanaler.

Nu har det blivit dags för dem att släppa andra singeln från “Maintain EP”. Låten heter “Fallin’” och är kanske en av de låtar som sticker ut mest från EP:n rent sound-mässigt.

För att tacka för allt stöd de fått sedan släppet av EP:n så har de bestämt sig för att bjuda på låten gratis! Den är producerad av Professor P & DJ Akilles och för sången står Elsa Wiström.

Utöver att släppa ny singel har de dessutom släppt en ny t-shirt som de kallar “Inspiration”. Den finns att beställa från deras hemsida för 200 kr. Dessutom har de börjat jobba på ett album som planeras att släppas i slutet av året. Redan inom några veckor släpps dock den fristående låten “This is it” med tillhörande video.

Professor P and Dj Akilles has been working together since 2005 and in 2007 they released Professor P’s debut album “Patience” through their label Loyalty. “Patience” was followed by the mixtapes “He’s the Dj i’m the rapper” and “Large Professor P”. Both mixtapes contained classic beats with new rap by Professor P, but now it’s finally time for some brand new material! On November 4 they will release a new EP called “Maintain EP”.

DJ Akilles – Best of 2009 (mixtape)

DJ Akilles Best of 2009 (Front)

Dj Akilles has previously released two (as far as I know) mixtapes collecting the best, biggest and most influential tracks from the previous year. In 2006 he released The “Best of 2005″-mixtape through the site “Svensk Underjord” which mixed Swedish and American hip-hop. Last year he released “Best of 2008″ trough the Community/Blog Whoa which focused on Swedish hip-hop only. When it’s time to sum up the best tracks from 2009 he’s back to the concept of the 2005-mixtape and mixes both American and Swedish hip-hop.

31 tracks are mixed together by scratch and beat-juggling to form this mixtape that contains tracks from Snoop Dogg, Raekwon, Method Man & Redman, Jay-Z, Drake, Clipse, Organismen, Mofeta & Jerre, Ken Ring and many more. On top of this the mixtape also contains a brand new exclusive track from Professor P & Dj Akilles called “Each and Every Station”. Professor P & Dj Akilles will release a new EP later this year, so this could be a taste of what’s coming.

Professor P – From The Heart

Professor P

After some trouble with their studio computer, Professor P and DJ Akilles has finally managed to get their studio in order so that they can start recording again. To celebrate this they’re releasing a newly recorded track called “From The Heart”. It’s recorded over a DJ Premiere beat which is called “Dink” and can be found on his record “Beats that Collected Dust vol.1.”.

Dj Akilles and Professor P will soon begin work a new EP which, in their own words,  will be the greatest and most sincere EP that Sweden has ever seen! The sound will be even older boombap mixed with great musicians, a lot of scratching and a few singers. I really like what I’ve heard from the good professor so far so I’m really excited about how the upcoming EP will sound like.
