Creestal – “Bars Of Death” feat. Ras Kass x Rapper Big Pooh x Skyzoo
April 4, 2017
BARS! Ear candy, but nothing sweet.
If you load a track with Ras Kass, Rapper Big Pooh, and Skyzoo, the lyrical content will likely hit hard enough, often enough, to kill… or at least be considered killer. Agreed? Well, whether you do or not, hit play and take these “Bars Of Death” upside the dome. Protect that neck. Lyrical lumps and bumps. Bumping beat by Creestal. A single off the “Differences” project.

March 31, 2017
“We Got It From Here… Thank You 4 Your Service” will likely be ATCQ’s last official project. Just won’t be the same without Phife Dawg (RIP). Continuing the line of best-for-last stuff (like that “We The People…”), the Tribe dropped dope black and white visuals for “Dis Generation.â€

March 29, 2017
You know how this works by now. Reks is that dude! When he drops, drop what you are doing to hear-see-experience what he is doing. Case in point: This “H.I.P.H.O.P.” jawn, another banger from “The Greatest X†(out now).

Kimeko Farrar – “Woman I Am” (Video)
March 23, 2017
Yes sir, and yes ma’am! I have been watching the moves of Kimeko Farrar from afar (because, hello… so smouldery smoking HOTT!), and have been impressed how she comes across as “all this and brains, too” time and time again. I have purchased and read her poetry, but this treasure I saw on my Facebook feed is EVERYTHING! ‘Phenomenal Woman’ level stuff! Press play above and see for yourself. Poetry beautifully brought to life on your screen.
Woman I Am is the title track from Kimeko’s debut spoken word album, Woman I Am. Woman I Am is a tribute to women. It acknowledges the beauty and strength of all women. The visual is all about fashion, fierceness and fun.
Below, after the jump, you can learn about and see more of Kimeko. Enjoy!

Rolling With Roc Marciano In ‘The Smokebox’ (Video)
March 16, 2017
Always think about that Xzibit opening line, “You don’t wanna hotbox with me,” when coming across these. Actually, smoker or not… kinda feel like we all do. Stuff can get crazy, but peering through the smoke, we always learn things about the guest and their direction in these sessions. Next up: Roc Marciano toking and talking.
Roc Marciano talks with B-REAL about his long awaited new album, “Rosebudds Revenge,”. Longevity in the game, his start with Busta Rhymes & his new upcoming project with DJ Muggs on this episode of The Smokebox.
Something right about bringing your producer (Animoss) along for the ‘ride.’ Good session Roc.

March 13, 2017
The Hip-Hop nation noted the passing of 20 years since the passing of Notorious B.I.G.

You’re not using your heart for what hearts are for…
Drawn in from the first line right? More dope music from Brother Ali slated to be on his “All The Beauty In This Whole Life” album. We posted the pre-order link earlier on here.
I’m honored to present “Own Light,” the theme song of my new album, “All The Beauty In This Whole Life.” Healthy hearts house the light that animates all that we are and everything we do.

I’m using my heart for, what hearts are for.
