You already know the math: Phonte + Nicolay = The Foreign Exchange = Dope Music Every Time! And this time out is no exception. If you have checked out their latest project, you already know. If not, you already know you are in for a treat… when you play “Hide & Seek” (compilation LP)… in particular, that “Shelter” single. Nice!

Rooozaaaay! Let them “Lamborghini Doors” fly open with the backing of Meek Mill and Anthony Hamilton. This jawn blowing out the speakers. Life like it’s supposed to be for the Bawse. Solid track off the latest album.

Rock (Of Heltah Skeltah) – “Camp-Wu” feat. Method Man x Inspectah Deck x Tek x Steele (Prod. By Ford Tuff x Pascal Zumaque) [Video]

Lyric video for Rock’s “Camp-Wu” – featuring Inspectah Deck, Smif N Wessun (Tek & Steele) and Method Man – produced by Ford Tuff and Pascal Zumaque, off Rock’s forthcoming solo studio album “Rocknesss A.P. (After Price).”

(There is something very special, and crazy, and hilarious, about P! telling an ODB story at the end. Got me a bit choked up, even as I was laughing.)

Sean Price – “Prisoner” (Video)

Not 100% sure, but I think this YouTube channel owner (Matt) put this Sean Price “Imperius Rex” jawn “Prisoner” to visuals for the love. Freeway does not feature anywhere in this version though. Pretty damn dope though. Enjoy!

Audio Push – “Stay” (Prod. By Price x Eric Choice) [Video]

What’ch’all know ’bout this thuggin’ love? Audio Push went heavy on the sing-songy vibe to get the point across mid-1990s style. With some jazzy-synthed-auto-tuned-up Jodeci delivery, Audio Push’s message to the ladies they’re with… “Stay.” The single is off the “Last Lights Left” album (out now).

Wordsworth – “Church” (Video)

Brooklyn emcee Wordsworth and producer Sam Brown dropped a collabo album entitled “Our World Today.” Now, we got ourselves here… a dope visual off that project. “Church” – with that fly energy that Snoop Dogg would say it with – but um, Wordsworth has got this. No doubt!

Ivan Ave – “Running Shoes” (Prod. By Kiefer x Like)

Okay. A good look for Jakarta Records definitely. Norwegian emcee Ivan Ave laced ’em up and ran the track that Kiefer and Like (of Pac Div) laid down. Dope!

Escapism takes many forms, but we all share the impulse of running from our situation once in a while. On his new single, Ivan sings a love song to his “Running Shoes,” while dodging problems with every stride. Face all your problems right now or lace up and escape with him on this Kiefer & Like produced cut off Ave’s forthcoming “Every Eye” LP.

DJ Kay Slay – “Cold Summer” feat. Kendrick Lamar x Mac Miller x Kevin Gates x Rell

DJ Kay Slay is known as ‘The Sh!t Starter’ right? Well, he started some dope sh!t putting this rhyme click together. Kendrick Lamar, Mac Miller, Kevin Gates, and Rell… together… on a funky smooth track… Who’da thunk? Very worthwhile. “The Big Brother” LP might well be worth checking out, too.

Alternative: ALA.NI – “You & I” (Album)

Shout to the homie Jess! She hit us with the ALA.NI blessing. Vibe listening for your Sunday enjoyment. Thinking of filing this under Alternative Jazz, but there is something about this artist’s haunting melodies that defies categorization. Hearing a couple of songs on the “You & I” album that would have been right at home on the “Kill Bill” soundtrack though. Case in point: Listen to this “Cherry Blossom” and get a couple of Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2 scenes in your head… fits, right?

No Malice – “So Woke” (Video)

Solid leak from the “Let the Dead Bury The Dead” from No Malice, lyrical content showing that the former Clipse rapper is “So Woke.” Kind of macabre, but got a feeling you will feel this one. The realest talk.

Dance: Niteshifters – “Huge Disco” (Album)

It pays to clean out the ol’ inbox… noted. Found email about this funky disco disc (okay, digital album) from Niteshifters in there. It’s called “Huge Disco”… kinda straight forwarded but hella good. I got that Daft Punk “Lose Yourself To Dance” feel from it. See what you feel about it. Listen to the sampler below.

NITESHIFTERS – HUGE DISCO (LP)

Rock (Of Heltah Skeltah) – “GW BaG” (Prod. Ford Tuff x Pascal Zumaque) [Video]

Good Weed, B!tches and Guns (“GW BaG”)… what Rock is spitting on in this first drop off the upcoming “Rockness a.P.” (e.g. “Rockness After Price”) album. This is dope R.A.P. and fitting as we give yet another R.I.P. nod to Rock’s rap bro Sean Price. r.i.P! Heltah Skeltah Forevah!

Rock, rock on. Hip-Hop is in good hands.

Fat Joe – “So Excited” feat. Dre (Video)

Goodness gracious! Popping bottles and sipping on a boat full of sexy models shaped like Coke bottles. Dre on hook serenade. Joe on the lyrics over the beat you hear play. This vid IS the dream. You ought to “So Excited” to watch this dopeness. Another one off the “Platos O Plomo” LP.

Sean Price’s Wife Bernadette & Dru Ha Talk About Sean P. And “Imperius Rex” (Video)

Who doesn’t love how Boot Camp and Bernadette are keeping Sean P. alive through the music and shows nowadays? We see the on stage and hear the audio releases, but now we get a chance to hear from the Clik’s honcho Dru Ha and Mrs. Price. On point, off stage, and outside the booth.

Get the whole enchilada: How Sean and Bernadette met, how the contributions to “Imperius Rex” fell into place so wonderfully and more. Too much to even preview. Plus why ruin the watch. I will tell you that you want to know how Jay-Z, Eminem and others are tied into all this.

(Remembering the Prices’ daughter’s name… Shaun Price… Plus Bernadette said Sean ‘guided her’ from above on this project. Dammit. There go the tears again!)
