YEAH! It’s been a while since the last Funk Valley release but here it is. This time it’s beatmaker Easter Bunny(EB Production) - from Malmö, Sweden - giving us some instrumental Hip Hop. As usual, here on Funk Valley Records, the album is free to download in the Music section!

If you like what you hear and are in need of beats just holla at EB Production on MySpace and maybe he’ll hook you up!

“1, 2, Get Down!”

Download and stream the rest of the album in the Music section!

Camp Lo’s Uptown Saturday Night album from 1997 is an absorbing album produced by Ski, who also produced Jay-Z back in the days. There is nothing to complain about the productions, but it is the two rappers, Cheeba and Suede, that are making this album remarkable. Uptown Saturday Night is greatly varied; It contains one the most catching hiphop party songs that I have ever heard, the masterpiece “Luchini (AKA this is it)”, and laid back songs like the hit single “Coolie High”. Cheeba and Suede’s energetic raps, however, permeates all tracks on the album, and you’ll definitely learn to love their experimental style of rap while listening through it.

Listen to Luchini (AKA this is it) on youtube, the rest of the songs are available on spotify, like Black Nostaljack below.
