The Planets - Planet Roc (Produced by Roc Marciano)

Even casual fans of Roc Marciano know he's nice with the beats. What many don't realize, though, is that apart from his own projects he's also done production work for a few other artists. Of those, perhaps the least well known (at least on this side of the Atlantic) would be The Planets, a UK-based Muslim hip-hop duo consisting of Ayman Raz a.k.a. Forever Bin Rhymin and Nomadic Poet a.k.a. Rapastani. Somewhat ironically, this is the only full project Roc has produced for artists other than himself, and having dropped on October 22, 2010, it even predates the Marci Beaucoup production album by more than three years. Stream or purchase the full EP and watch the video edit of the title track below.

Cryptic One - BEATADAY 2 Trailer

If you know the name Cryptic One, it's most likely as a member of the legendary NYC crew Atoms Family. What you might not realize is that Cryptic One actually spent most of his life in Westbury, having grown up just down the block from the Westbury Drive-In Movie Theatre. No word on how, or if, his experiences sneaking into flicks there inspired the visuals of his BEATADAY series. For the uninitiated, BEATADAY features Cryptic One producing one beat per day for 100 days and posting each to his Instagram account with a 15-second video. The second installment, which you can preview below, starts Monday August 10. Until then, visit CrypticOne.net to check out the original series, as well as his Cryptstrumentals and other music.

Jazzy Yowa - "She Knew"

Jazzy Yowa has the unique honor of being the first contemporary female artist featured on our site (sorry it took this long, ladies, but send more music), as well as the first artist out of Levittown featured on our site. Even if she wears her influences on her sleeve, going as far as tagging "Drake" and "Yung Money Entertainment" in this Soundcloud post, she does their sound justice.

"She Knew" is the first track off of Dedication To My Ex Pt. 2 dropping this summer. Check out the first Dedication on datPiff and hit Jazzy up if you want to hear more (contact info listed in the pic to the left; click to enlarge).
