As much as we love bumpin Illmind‘s beats, he does far too much work for us to cover all of his production but his latest placement is pretty big as his aural craft is the backing to 50 Cent’s new single, the leaked “Stop Cryin” off his upcoming free mixtape The Big 10. The mixtape is due later this week and whether you’re a Fiddy fan or not, you can’t deny that this is a good look for the veteran beatsmith. Take a listen below.

G*LEE Interviews w/ KarmaLoop TV

Multi-faceted Hip-Hop artist/producer G*LEE spoke with KarmaLoop TV for a quick little interview that covered a range of subjects from her upbringing & early love for music, to her numerous projects in the works including an album with famed producer Illmind. It’s a good look to get that scoop with KarmaLoop, so hopefully this is a sign of many more big things to come from the NY based musician.

Illmind Releases Album – Behind the Curtain

We told you it was coming and here it is. The Hip-Hop instrumental album from famed producer Illmind – Behind the Curtain. He’s gone all out for this release, which includes 22 beats + 222 audio stems of his sounds, royalty free. For MC’s and producers alike, this is looking like a must have.

SUNZOO Releases 2nd Version of “Get Down” MV

SUNZOO must have thought that one MV wasn’t enough for their single “Get Down”. The first dropped a couple months back, directed by Rik Cordero. The new version goes in a completely different direction with a combination of live footage, green screen work, and kinetic typography. It’s a dope song with two pretty dope videos, I guess the only question is which one do you like more?

 

Illmind to Release Instrumental Album – Behind the Curtain – in April

Want to hear some Illmind beats and instrumentation? If you wait a month you’ll be able to peep some of his work without any pesky MC’s and vocalists covering the track with the release of Behind the Curtain, an instrumental album due April 29th. This will give everyone an opportunity to hear what he does best, before a rapper has the chance to influence the creative direction. It should be a hot release and I can’t wait to hear what’s on it. Will he explore and expand the genre ala RJD2? Or will it be a more conventional collection of rap beats. Looking forward to finding out!
