Ghostly Intl – TWO free albums in one week
If surrealist art had to be translated into music, it would probably sound like the entire roster of Ghostly International. Started by a 19 year old dude some years back, they put out what’s called “Avant-Pop” and “SMM”, hit this link to read about the two distinct styles. They also have a million artists on their roster, and quite a hefty touring schedule to go along with that.
Anyway…FREE MUSIC, you say? Yes.
But really, buy some of their stuff. Not just because POS from Rhymesayers is on a song by Mux Mool, but because this is some innovative and industry changing shit we’re talking here. Pardon my french, but it’s hard not to get all hyped up when there is SO MUCH good music out there, yet only the terrible stuff gets most of the money and the airtime. Interning at Rhymesayers and getting involved with Milwaukee’s artists has really opened my mind to pure passion and sweat that these artists put in every day. I thought indie rappers put out a lot of music…but their catalog is BURSTING at the seems with solid collaborations and albums.

GHOSTLY ESSENTIALS: RARITIES ONE is a very nice collection of unreleased content. Feel good album, and a nice complement to this snowy Milwaukee day while I relax at my apartment and try to regain some health. Click this link to head to Ghostly’s page to sign up for their Newsletter and get the free download.
MUX MOOL: VIKING FUNERAL EP was dropped a week ago on Ghostly’s blog on the interwebs. It’s just a simple and small collection of songs that MM has done over the years. See “Death 9000″ for the rap song featuring Prof (Stophouse) and POS (Rhymesayers & Doomtree). SO solid and just fun to listen to. Snag it at their blog right HERE.
