Tall Black Guy

Tall Black Guy Productions was birthed from humble beginnings in Detroit, MI and homegrown on a diet of Motown, jazz and early hip-hop. From his home base in Chicago, IL. TBG has performed and won numerous beat battles, most notably the “Dance To The Drummers Beat” and “Red Bull Big Tune” beat battle of 07. His sound has been championed by taste-makers: Gilles Peterson, Anthony Valadez, LefTO and many others. With the tangible beginnings of worldwide recognition, Tall Black Guy has established himself to be one of the most influential producers from Chicago.

2011-2012 has seen TBG's first vinyl releases with bstrd boots, First Word Records and his own imprint Tall Black Guy Productions. Plus projects with artists like: the 80s Babies (Dee 'Shogun' Jackson) The Primeridian, Malice & Mario Sweet, DJ Vadim and The Electric, Cilla K and Shev Rock.

- 8 Miles To Moenart Sample Pack
  
  2 tracks (07:26)
  
  8 Miles To Moenart has literally brought Tall Black Guy full circle. Detroit was where he
  started making music, and it’s to his hometown he returns to draw inspiration for his
  debut album. Taking in low-slung hip hop, downtempo house and jazz-tinged street soul,
  it’s a record of rare focus. Largely instrumental, he’s also added some choice collabs
  with Ozay Moore (formerly known as Othello) and Diggs Duke, bringing their own
  unique styles to the melting pot. This record encapsulates the musical heritage
  of Detroit, through the looking glass of Tall Black Guy's own signature sound.

  While hearing this track, I get a feeling similar to:
  
  Jumping into a pool when it’s sweltering outside.
  
  OR
  
  Finally getting to relax after a long day.
  
  In other words, it’s like: AHHHHHH!
  
  I dig everthing I’m hearing by this gentleman.

  What’s my fellow soundclouders? Here a joint that didn’t make the Hollyweird 2.0 EP from 2011
  “Night’s Over Egypt” is like one of my favorite tunes. So I had to see if I could recreate it.
  I hope you enjoy!

  Doc ILLingsworth - Train Runner EP
  
  Cop Detroit artist Doc ILLingsworth’s new instrumental EP Train Runner and together, you can help him run the train he needs to get to SXSW this year. lol. All jokes aside, ILLingsworth does have a gig booked for SXSW but he needs some monetary assistance to actually get to Austin, TX. This very funked-out EP has 9 tracks of absolute bangers as a result of ILLingsworth stepping outside of his comfort zone as a producer. Support a true DIY musician by purchasing this EP.
  
  &lt;a href=”http://illingsworks.bandcamp.com/album/train-runner” data-mce-href=”http://illingsworks.bandcamp.com/album/train-runner”&gt;Train Runner by ILLingsworth&lt;/a&gt;
  
  Purchase Train Runner EP
  
  thank you so much. just to be fair, the supporters already covered my travel costs so there’s no need to for people to pay amounts way bigger than $5 anymore, unless they really really want to. thank you again for sharing my arts.
