Author: montrey

This is your Daily 2% – Chilled and Ready to Serve. We will try to bring you one “chill” track every day. This is for when you get home and you are trying to unwind. You reach for that glass of wine or that unlit Black & Mild or maybe you reach for something more herbal. This track is for those times. We will try to bring you at least one a day. We are just your milkmen and I’m here to make a delivery. Chill…..

Today’s delivery is brought to you by one of my favorite reggae groups…Katchafire. The group pretty much started out as a Bob Marley tribute band and we’ve posted about this group before and pretty much all the tracks they produce are instant classics for me. The song i’m bringing to you today is called “Who You With” and its from their album entitled Revival. The reason I’m posting this one today is because I would really like to get feedback from our readers about the topic of the track. My friends and I have argued on whether the song is talking about marijuana or sex/condoms/hooking up. Really need some feedback on this one so if you listen to the track and you appreciate what we do here on the site then please leave a comment on what you think they are talking about. So check out the track,  chill AND comment…

Today’s delivery is brought to you by Stephen Marley & Mos Def. How can you go wrong with this type of collaboration? Honestly this track was destined to be a classic right when these guys decided to do a song together. This song is from Stephen’s 2007 debut album called Mind Control and the track is called “Hey Baby”. Tracks like this are what inspired me to do such a thing as a “Daily 2%” in the first place so check out the track and chill…

Today’s delivery is brought to you by Gang Starr featuring Inspectah Deck. A lot of hip-hop artists nowadays can trace some of their influence back to Gang Starr and its good that they chose such good role models because you never get let down by a Gang Starr track. The track I’m bringing to you today is called “Above the Clouds” which is from their 1998 album entitled Moment of Truth which was a huge successful release for these guys and pretty much the whole album is laced with amazing tracks. Most of you probably know this already but just in case I like to let people know what’s up. Check out the track and relax…

Today’s delivery is brought to you by the downtempo/ambient group known as Boards of Canada. I got into these guys about the same time I got into Thievery Corporation and a few other similar groups. Groups like this are perfect to chill out too when you are driving through the city late night or maybe driving along the coast with the wind in your hair or just maybe chillin in your home and letting the day ooze away from your memory. The track i’m bringing to you today is from their 2002 album entitled Geogaddi and the track is called “Music is Math”. Check out the track and just relax…

Today’s delivery is brought to you by Jacob Miller who was a major influence on roots reggae back in the 70’s when Bob Marley was in the scene. I talked about this song last year but I think its a great song to play near the beginning of 2010 to really give a good message for the year. This track is called “Forward Ever Backward Never” and truly is a way of thinking that everyone should incorporate into their lives. If you hadn’t thought this way before than 2010 is a perfect time to start. Check out the track below and chill…

Today’s delivery is brought to you by RJD2. I can’t get enough of this guy and this is a perfect time to make a post about him considering the fact that his upcoming album The Colossus should be dropping in a few weeks. I would say since RJD2 first hit the scene there have been quite a few new artists that have tried to dabble in the same type of experimental electronica that RJD2 is famous for but I believe they come up short every time and I cant help but always going back to to some classic RJ tracks. The track I’m bringing to you today is from his album Deadringer and the track is called “The Proxy”. I’ve posted about this album before but I cant help it because almost every track on the album is truly amazing. The track is short but chill nonetheless. So check out the track and relax…
