AG Da Coroner is one cold azz rhymer! You can feel the dark, cold night on “I95” (featuring Bodega Bamz). Whew! No doubt the V Don beat helps set the tone most eerily (in the best most Hip-Hop way), but daaaaaamn if lyrics don’t matter on this one! Look out for that “Sip The Nectar” album on March 10, 2016.

Royce 5’9 – “Tabernacle†(Prod. By S1)
March 8, 2016
I promise not to lie on one of these verses.
This joint is like a 5-minute biography. And the was Royce 5’9 delivers this “Tabernacle†(produced by S1) … wooo! Most of the ‘life story’ telling in this song is spent on one day; one very powerful, awful, awesome day. This single is another leak off that “Layers” LP on the way (out April 15, 2016; but the pre-order link is ready below already).
Sap – “Self Employed” (Album Stream)
March 5, 2016
It’s so so soooo dope! That’s the review. Now out on iTunes, here’s a [another] chance for you to support what’s real, and good, and real good. The whole “Self Employed” album is produced by Sap himself. Got some good guest features to load the deck in his favor (like Mac Miller, The Game and Stat Quo), too. Stream it and consider copping. Happy head-nodding!

Vice Souletric – “Respect The Legends” feat. King Magnetic (Prod. By 9th Wonder)
March 3, 2016
Even Macklemore know who Kool Moe Dee is.
Man, @ojones1 hit me a while back – kinda heated – telling me about some young rapper that was really disrespecting the craft and the legends (those ‘old’ guys like DJ Premier, whose beat he refused to rap over). Probably need more info than that to properly hate the kid, right? Naaaah, not even on that. Such ignorance should either be schooled or ignored; and I don’t know the kid. Soooooo, let’s just move on with this positive boom-boom-bap sorta speedy rap track entitled “Respect The Legends” from Vice Souletric, featuring King Magnetic and produced by 9th Wonder. So dope!
(See? Your day is already getting better.)
The “Vice For President” (Vol. 2) project this is on is out now, too.

Alright. This is new. Maybe not to some of you edge-of-the-bleeding-edge tech enthusiasts (nerds! hahaaa!)… but naaah… THIS is new school cool. It’s an interactive video for Santigold, off the“99 Cents” album (out now). And sure you’ve seen visuals that employ point-of-view and 360-degree panning AND you’ve seen artists make vids ‘starring’ fans (as in send-us-a-clip-or-pic-and-viola). But…
You are going to ACTUALLY star IN this video; just as soon as you let the site access your camera! Soooo, get presentable and click the pic (or the link below) when you are ready. The song ought to be called “Can’t Get Enough of Myself†AND YOU!

Mr. Lif – “Whizdom” feat. Blacastan (Prod. By Edan)
February 25, 2016
I be on that Hip-Hop dropping out the Bean, right? I know. Well, here’s another gem from Boston’s (Massachusetts, USA) own emcee on the forever grind, Mr. Lif. The album he has coming is “Don’t Look Down,” but that’s gonna be a minute (due out April 15,2016). What you should rock with now is the thing he’s got going for FREE with Blacastan entitled “Whizdom.” Gotta admit, it caught my attention. Curious to see what comes next.
Now as a bonus for you, and a trip back for me, see what comes next after the jump. Something that caught me oh so long ago. Still dope!

R&B: Bilal – “I Really Don’t Care” (Video)
February 25, 2016
You’re gonna love this tasty jazzy jawn from Bilal, off his “In Another Life” project (out now). “I Really Don’t Care” has a Stevie Wonder-ish Blues&B light jazz feel, right? Play it above, and see if you agree.
Very nice.
Macklemore x Lewis – “Buckshot†feat. DJ Premier x KRS-One
February 23, 2016
Stop the presses on every “they ain’t real” story you want to put out on Ben Haggerty (pka Macklemore) & Ryan Lewis. At least for now. Why? This “Buckshot†team up with DJ Premier and KRS-ONE. This has got to be the most awesome olive branch held out to Hip-Hop heads in quite some time. How real is this? Let Preemo speak on it…
Macklemore’s manager reached out to my manager (Ian) and told him that they wanted me to hook up a scratch sequence to tie in the lyrics that Ben wrote. Ryan did the track and we got on the phone to discuss the theme about their younger days running the streets and tagging graffiti. I draw as well so it made total sense! After I sent my parts back, they asked if I knew how to get in touch with Kris (KRS-ONE). I reached out to Kris’ wife and since he is a dope graffiti artist as well, he was the perfect choice and he laced the verse overnight. The whole combination made it a complete jam for the history books.
– DJ Premier
In a word…boom! Take a listen above. You can pre-order “This Unruly Mess I’ve Made” (due out February 26, 2016) below.

Yuna – “Places To Go†(Prod. By DJ Premier)
February 22, 2016
The way it started…was definitely ‘alternative’… then seconds later, BOOM! Producer Preemo drops in with his trademark hook-sample scratches and it’s so on! Check out Malaysian singer Yuna’s “Places To Go†above, and read what she has to say about all this below.
“Places to Go†is a song about when you’re growing into the person that you’re meant to be. Sometimes you go through all these things that will change you as a person and you find it hard to deal with all of these challenges. I was truly honored to work with legendary DJ and producer DJ Premier. I still can’t believe I have a track with Premier. It really is one of the best songs I’ve written in a long time.
Dope! You can pre-order Yuna’s full-length, “Chapters” (due out May 20, 2016), from the Store on her website here.
