In need of some levity after that last post. Whew. Thank goodness for Dyme Def’s bi-weeky Pay Day drops. Understated rhyming by the Three Bad Brothas on this club track, “Bring It In.”

DOWNLOAD: “Time Flies” – Dyme Def (prod. BeanOne)
This one hits all the right sentimental notes for you eighties and nineties babies out there. BeanOne builds something like a chopped-up Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis track, circa 1989 — I do believe I hear a “Rhythm Nation” sample in there!
“Time Flies” is a moment of reflection for Dyme Def on how far they’ve come since “the Alpha” inception in ’06 (otherwise known as the Sportn’ Life demo disc). This is kick-back-with-your-feet-up-and-a-cold-brew-in-hand music. Indulge in what you got today because tomorrow ain’t never promised.
(And if you’ve missed any of the crew’s bi-weekly Pay Day drops, get all of those here.)
DOWNLOAD: “Know That” – Dyme Def
The most recent drop in Dyme Def’s Pay Day series. Brainstorm, SEV and Fearce Villain show their versatility, steeping an understated melody and beat in a concoction of deft lyricism. It’s become clear this crew can basically do anything they want, from straight-up party music to hood-conscious philosophy. Dyme Def is making it impossible for bloggers to put them in a box. And that’s a damn good thing.
DOWNLOAD: New Tracks by Dyme Def and Brainstorm

Taking a cue from Yeezy’s G.O.O.D. Friday series, Dyme Def brings you its Pay Day drops. Look for a new single and/or video from Dyme Def every two weeks. Now if the three bad brothas would just add 206UP.COM to their press list so I can stop mooching 2DopeBoyz…
(Oh yeah, there’s a bonus track from Brainstorm below, “On My Job,” an outtake from the forthcoming producer/emcee’s Celestine Prophecy.)
