Action Bronson – “Strictly 4 My Jeeps” ft. LL Cool J x Lloyd Banks (Remix)

Action BronsonYou know, an earlier post gave a shout to producer Harry Fraud for flipping the “How I Could Just Kill a Man” cut from Cypress Hill for Action Bronson’s “Strictly 4 My Jeeps.” But a closer match for the beat was “Rampage” by EPMD featuring LL Cool J. Maybe Uncle L got wind of the single. Maybe he felt he could rip up a piece of the track on a remix. Maybe we end the ‘maybes’ and share this new Action Bronson “Strictly 4 My Jeeps” (Remix) featuring LL Cool J… and Lloyd Banks to round out the line up. Enjoy!

Action Bronson’s album “Saaab Stories” is due out on iTunes June 11, 2013.

Various Artists – “Wrath of the Siafu” (Prod. By Dynamite Bruhz) [Video]

Dynamite Bruhz on the track. DJ Presyce on the cut. Recorded and Mixed by Amond Jackson for Salem Psalms. Now all we need is to sprinkle in a bunch of quality ATL emcees and this “Wrath of the Siafu” will be done… a perfect hook to put folks on to the OrganizingIsTheNewCool.com Soundtrack and movement. Oh, that’s what they did… with a FREE download… and a W. Feagins, Jr. video? Okay then.

‘If Hip Hop was a hurricane, then Wrath of the Siafu would be positioned somewhere in the eye of the storm. Wrath of the Siafu, the first single release off of the Organizing is the New Cool Soundtrack is a perfect example of the underlying theme of the documentary film. This thunderous anthem is an amalgamation of 11 of Atlanta’s heaviest hitting independent artists who lyrically ambush a hardcore instrumental that will leave the avid Hip Hop connoisseur begging for more! The Dynamite Bruhz produced track features a who’s who of internationally respected underground emcees including: StaHHr, Mike Flo, members of The Liuns Den and Craig “Flux” Singleton (co-producer of the film). This is a guaranteed Hip Hop Classic.’
