COMING SOON : GBUILDING/GRIPZ - THE BUTCHER

GRIPZ OF DOOM3

After a long hiatus, I blog again with a highly anticipated GBUILDING release: GRIPZ OF DOOM3!
In many ways, this contains all the elements of a genuine DOOM project.  Amazing intros, ill DOOM related excerpts from Marvel cartoons (in this case, Fantastic Four Cartoons) and of course some of the wildest variety of GBUILDING beats G has endeavored to mastermind yet.  One thing I like about GBUILDING/DOOM G-MIXES is that DOOM inherently can rhyme over pretty much anything.  I imagine that gives a producer a ton of freedom to go crazy.  G goes in and again delivers a scorching 32 tracks offering up some of my favorite joints yet.

STEELWORKS20 - GZA RZA THIRD WORLD G-MIX

Though I have not been able to update recently, GBUILDING has been ridiculously busy.
For the first from a barrage of NEW RELEASES, G drops STEELWORKS20 composed with no commercial samples. Check it out for FREE in the featured section on the right or in the STEELWORKS ARCHIVE.

ICE VEINS BEATS REACH OVER 1000!

G = 1000

These days it seems 1000 is a good number for GBUILDING.  As a follow up to the 1000+ ALL INSTRUMENTAL BEAT drop for the GATORS PROJECT, the fully instrumental ICE VEINS has also reached that milestone.  Granted, probably around ICE VEINS6 or 7 you will start hearing increasing repeat tracks but if you are diligent enough and don't mind these you are certain to find plenty gems on each volume.  I don't know about you but for me, its hard to complain when it is all FREE.  Anyways, MC's are already scooping these joints up and doing tracks and even videos over them.  Check em out on our ICE VEINS ARCHIVE PAGE, if you haven't yet.

ICE VEINS COMPILATION ANNOUNCED!!!

Just when you thought it was safe...GBUILDING stomps back on the scene with 50 MORE INSTRUMENTAL TRACKS on the first volume of a new compilation entitled "ICE VEINS". It looks like G is planning to have at least 4 volumes of this compilation meaning, listeners will most likely have 200 new joints to listen to before the end of the year.  If "cold" is supposed to be the theme of ICE VEINS, it does not disappoint.  Overall, this first set of tracks has a refreshingly different feel than some of the GBUILDING tracks heard on previous projects.  Precise and smooth yet still soulful, aggressive and raw, the first ICE VEINS ventures into more melody driven, "live band sounding" hip hop experience.

Check it out for FREE on our new ICE VEINS ARCHIVE PAGE!  or listen to ICE VEINS vol.1 HERE.

---EDIT

I had no idea that ICE VEINS was going to go the distance like this.  Now updated to 10 volumes, ICE VEINS promises a minimum of 500 beats.  In another dizzying display of audio output, GBUILDING continues to drop harder than anyone I've ever seen do it.  And its not like this stuff is garbage either.  There are so many gems and masterpieces on these projects its surreal.  I really don't know what else to say but enjoy this Hip-Hop fans.  This type of musical explosion may never happen again, definitely not for free like this.

STEELWORKS5 - KOOL G RAP G-MIX

Kool G Rap is probably the most influential underrated MC of all time.   No matter what the general public says or doesn't say, rappers definitely know who he is.  I mean, he literally is most likely your favorite rapper's favorite rapper.

"Kool G Rap is regarded as a hugely influential golden age rapper. Music journalist Peter Shapiro suggests that Kool G Rap "created the blueprint for Nas, Biggie and everyone who followed in their path". 

Kool G Rap is described by Kool Moe Dee as "the progenitor and prototype for Biggie, Jay-Z, Treach, Nore, Fat Joe, Big Pun, and about twenty-five more hard-core emcees", and Kool Moe Dee also claims Kool G Rap is "the most lyrical" out of all of the artists mentioned. MTV describes Kool G Rap as a "hip-hop godfather", adding that he paved the way for a lot of MCs who we would not have heard of otherwise. Rolling Stone says, "G Rap excelled at the street narrative, a style that would come to define later Queens MCs like Nas (who was hugely influenced by G Rap on his early records) and Mobb Deep".

Other artists who have named Kool G Rap as a major influence include Eminem, Jay-Z, Tajai of Souls of Mischief, Vinnie Paz of Jedi Mind Tricks, Steele of Smif-n-Wessun, Havoc of Mobb Deep, Rock of Heltah Skeltah, MC Serch, Termanology, Black Thought of The Roots, M.O.P., Scarface, R.A. The Rugged Man, Andre Nickatina, Bun B of UGK, Rah Digga, RZA and Raekwon of Wu-Tang Clan, Lady Of Rage, Big Pun, O.C. of DITC, Memphis Bleek, Kurupt, Pharoahe Monch and Twista, among others."

Another quote from this entry states, "Criticisms of Kool G Rap's solo albums usually focus on the production not being up to the standard of the rapping."  Well, this is not at all a problem on STEELWORKS5.  Kool G Rap's aggressive and technical mafioso street rhymes blend well over GBUILDING's gritty, cinematic production.
