 Anybody here heard of Squadda B or the Main Attrakionz? I just found about him on Pitchfork last night, and while he's obviously not the best rapper out there, but he seems like a pretty great producer and I'm really enjoying his new mixtape I Smoke Because I Don't Care About Death (the title alone automatically got my attention) He automatically reminds me of Lil B with his dreamy/ambient production, honest lyrics, and random flow. He's from the bay area as well, I believe. He also has a mixtape The Shady Bambino Project with rapper Shady Blaze (who is a much better rapper than Squadda) that he produced entirely, which I'm really feeling Squadda B - I Smoke Because I Don't Care About DeathThe Shady Bambino Project (Produced entirely by Squadda B)

I've heard of the dude from this track, I liked his style but I never looked for more tracks by him. I'll have to check out those mixtapes after my class.

I'm listening to the Main Attrakionz compilation that spaceagehustle put together and it's pretty good. Reminds me of G-Side and Lil B (not liking it as much as either of them though). Some of these songs work well ("Illest Alive") while others sound kind of mismatched prodution wise, at least on my first listen.

Clams Casino who produced I'm God, Realist Alive, Real **** From A Real *****, Motivation, etc. for Lil B also produced some of these songs.

well like I said all I've heard is that spaceagehustle Main Attrakionz compilation called "Two Man Horror Film" so check that out. 

and in addition to Clams Casino, Beautiful Lou has done some work with them too. Lou is the same producer who did "Cocaine" and  "Illusions of Grandeur" (Remix) for Lil B. And Squadda B of Main Attrakionz has produced for B as well, "If The World Was Mine"  and others. So that Lil B comparision at least production-wise isn't that far off.
