Modern Shark Sampler Tape #3

I've loved Junk Science since I first heard "Roads" on an American Eagle television while shopping with my girlfriend (Hip Hop as FUCK alert!). Since then, Junk Science has continued to float under everyone's radar, despite releasing forward thinking, well produced, accessible hip hop since 2005. I was really excited about the Embedded Music label back in the day, mainly due to the fact that it held some of my favorite unsung heroes of the mid-2000s in Cool Calm Pete/Babbletron, Junk Science, and Bisc1, but sadly it disappeared as soon as they peaked. Luckily, a few years later, Baje One filled that void when he launched Modern Shark.

Baje's label has been around for over a year now and continually shells out original, interesting, and progressive music that the "blogosphere" ignores. There latest label compilation, Modern Shark Sampler Tape #3, might be the tape that shakes bloggers up, as they drop really dope material featuring internet rap nerd darlings Serengeti and Cool Calm Pete, great Junk Science material, and  really intriguing material from artists I've never heard of in Cavalier, Big Urban, and King Guttah I.

Below are a few of my favorite tracks along with the full tape download.

Jump the shark!

King Guttah I- Real American


Big Urban- Kick the Can


Serengeti, Tone Tank & Cool Calm Pete- Goog


Cavalier- Re-Birth
