Chairman Maf – Dusted (EP)
Chairman Maf is a name that should be familiar to all of my regular followers on the blog, facebook and also soundcloud, consistently putting out really heavy, but at the same time beautiful string and flute laden beats, conjouring up scenes from 70s blaxploitation films, sunlit meadows on 8mm cine film and smoky jazz cafes from the 50s..
His latest 4 track EP, ‘Dusted’ continues on with the dreamy soundscapes and the kind of drums that got me into hiphop in the first place. Check it out here:
- Walk With me
- Getting High
- Somehow
- Still Water
Available for free download, right here:
