Teeko, Max Kane, and Malaguti, of the 4ONEFUNK family, make up the group F.A.M.E. (Fresh Analog Music Experience). These Bay Area guys combine synth, controller one turntables, and MPCs, to create music that melts somewhere between hip hop, funk, and soul. They just dropped their new EP, “Truthpics“, for free download. “Truthpics” is 12 unreleased tracks produced by the three guys. The tracks were originally intended for their upcoming debut album, “Come With Us“, which will be dropping early summer 2010 (following Teeko’s highly anticipated second album, “Light Up The Darkness“).

Instead of having these tracks go unheard, they chose to release them as a free download. Tracklist and download link after the jump…

Anyway, to the point of this post. Squeek Boogie combined Nas lyrics with Dilla beats. 16 tracks make up “DILLmatic“, and it’s free for download. I haven’t listened to the whole thing yet, just a select few tracks, but if you’re interested… download it below.
