Hi! I'm Lee. Welcome to my blog. Here we talk music: news, reviews, interviews, tips, tutorials and more. I'm also working on the upcoming podcast Influenced as a guest, writer and researcher alongside music aficionado Mark Williams and friends. Watch this space! I have been a lover of music for as long as I can remember, an amateur lyricist for 25 years, a music writer for 15 years and a hobbyist musician and blogger for almost 10 years. My tastes range from jazz to house to hip hop and I love helping artists from all genres develop their sound. My music, videos, reviews and interviews have been featured in a variety of magazines and websites, including: B-Boy Tech Report Gimme That Beat Humanhuman Audio Skills Dream House Beats Where Did the Road Go Beat Tape Co-Op Push Power Promo Drum Magazine You can find my music on Bandcamp: Monkey Mind Sounds AKA LeeTNB And you can find me on Facebook: The New Beatmaker page Lee's personal page

The city's ShiNoLa kindly sent over his latest release (sorry) 'Love Poop', which he just dropped (my bad).
Now there's a sentence I never thought I would be typing.
It's an experimental outing which mixes the playful with the poignant.
Of the highlights, 'Chromosomes' sounds like N*E*R*D on a merry-go-round in fast-forward; whilst 'A Based Message' has a melancholy Lil B over the top of some beautiful electronica.
However, 'The Moaning After' may be the standout track.
After a NSFW introduction, a euphoric wave of synths and reverbed vocals wash over the listener, with lots of sensual moans and big, choppy drums adding extra atmospheric layers to get lost in. Lovely.
Insert one more poop-related pun of your choice here.
