There ain’t much need to say too much about the repertoire within each of these prolific artists profiles because we’re too busy listening and nodding our heads that the music speaks for itself. Sampling, producing and remixing 8bit sounds, soul classics, spoken word, old school beats and everything in between and unheard this is our list of 20 headnodic beat makers we’re listening to right now.

Concrete Steppin is the new album from L.A.-based, Maryland-raised emcee E Reece. At a time where when there seems to be a lot of glitz, glamour, and negativity in hip hop, Concrete Steppin reaches out to us with a positive, organic vibe to feed your mind, body and soul.

“Once they’ve heard my music or seen my live show, I want people to believe in the power of positive music and to know that real hip hop isn’t dead.” — E Reece

To celebrate the official album release of Concrete Steppin, E Reece shares a third leak with the track “Don’t Front” featuring fellow L.A. emcees El Prez and Tunji. This track, as well as the singles “Fly Hi” and “The Game” (produced by Oddisee), are just a sliver of great music that can be heard on Concrete Steppin, which is available now on iTunes and Amazon.

Download “Don’t Front”: http://usershare.net/wzvy2vn8bkvj

Tune into Cypher Lounge Radio tomorrow night at 7pm PT / 10pm ET on Blog Talk Radio to hear E Reece talk about the album in more detail.
