Yep. Coalmine Records followed through on its promise. No more leaks. El Da Sensei’s “Show Stoppa” was the last. No more teasing and promo’ing to “build interest in the product”… They dropped it. Very dope, indeed. Worth the wait, though there’s no need to wait anymore. Enjoy “Unearthed” (mixed by DJ Revolution). Get it on iTunes if you like.

May 14, 2014
What with all the very well documented animosity Eminem held for his mom – expressed in song via cuts put out over the years – if ever he was to ‘reconcile’ on wax, it’d be major. Major enough to enlist filmmaker Spike Lee to do a video for it! Well, enough of the preamble and ramble. Here it is: “Headlights” featuring Nate Ruess (off “The Marshall Mathers LP 2”) from Marshall Mathers to his Mom.
