This volume of Blaps, Rhymes & Life is dedicated to Eli Matthew Ibanga R.I.P.: Sunrise – 05.27.08 | Sunset – 06.23.09
The Blaps, Rhymes & Life compilation series continues, as the blapmaster Illmind, and Dub MD bring you volume 3, as yet another EXCLUSIVE free download. Blaps, Rhymes & Life Vol. 3 is jam-packed, full of more classic Illmind production, as he showcases his music with a mix of mainstream and underground artists. In this volume, he collaborates with mainstream artists like 50 Cent, Scarface, Masta Ace, Young Buck, and Marsha from Floetry, and keeps the balance with underground artists and rising stars Termanology, Wale, D-Black, Skyzoo and Torae, to name a few. Also included is an official remake of 88 Keys‘ single “Stay Up!”, featuring Alchemist, Evidence and 88 Keys himself on the rhymes. Master Shake from Adult Swim’s hit TV show Aqua Teen Hunger Force also makes an appearance!
As always, Illmind is working on multiple projects, as he hits the studio to put the finishing touches on the debut album with his group Fortilive—consisting of Illmind, Slo-Mo and Mushmouf—which is due out later next year through Myx Music. He’s also been busy executive-producing albums for Pumpkinhead, D-Black and Naturel. For more information and updates on Illmind and the series, check out the new launch of the official Blaps, Rhymes & Life web site, as well as Illmind’s personal site, and follow him on Twitter.
In addition to that, look out for Dub MD as he presents projects from various artists including the likes of Junclassic with Southside’s Savior (out July 13), the Nametag follow-up Classic Cadence Vol. 2 (out Aug. 10), and a whole host of others including Judah, Karniege, Dominique Larue and more.
