eLZhi x Ras Kass x M-Dot x Large Professor – “Reaganomics” (Prod. By B Leafs)
January 22, 2019
For days we stay in slumber, still pray to tainted alters, kids trained to gain and conquer.
– M-Dot
I remember the “Reaganomics” era. Great time for music, but the White House and major corporations… let’s just say they were not always looking out for us over there in the day. But knowing that, and spreading the word about it, gave rise to some of the best Hip-Hop music ever.
So, is this work worthy in light of what the title implies? Well, seeing the line-up, I’mma go on and say HELL YEAH! But I’m still gonna listen (as should you).
Elzhi, Ras Kass, M-Dot and Large Pro is one of the most legendary line-ups you’re going to see this year. “Reaganomics” is a legacy that’s endured almost four decades and is more relevant now than it was back in the 80’s when the [Anti-Robin Hood] concept was scribbled down on Bonzo’s napkin. For those in the dark about the system, it’s where corporations/wealthy lined their pockets from the taxation of the middle class, creating huge national debt and unredeemable budget deficits which forced future administrations to cut funding for social programs. 4 legends tackle the topic with their 4 unique perspectives, in the 4 unique styles you know and love them for. “Reaganomics” is produced by B Leafs off his upcoming debut album “The Horizon” out Jan 29th.

E-40 Speaks On His ‘Side Hustle’ (Video)
January 21, 2019
Nice, Tidal. Very nice. Sharing insights on a true rapper / ENTREPRENEUR (yes, all caps on purpose because ‘shouting’ for emphasis) like the Fawty Water.
E-40 has been a West Coast rap ambassador for over three decades but his empire extends beyond his witty slang and hyphy catalog. In this episode of Side Hustle, the Vallejo native details the profitable and sometimes painful lessons he learned while building his business portfolio of wine, cognac, a meats company and other investments.

Soope x Joell Ortiz x Fred The Godson – “Ain’t No Sunshine” (Prod. By CZR) [Video]
January 18, 2019
Powerful lineup blessing the CZR beat. With Soope, Joey O, and The Godson the visuals for this joint seem right at home with a church as the main setting. The mood and mode are low. So is the song. So is the title. “Ain’t No Sunshine” fam.

Lord Finesse Speaks On What Made Gang Starr (DJ Premier x GURU) Special [Video]
January 18, 2019
If anyone can speak on this, Lord Finesse can. Saying Preemo is a SUPER-producer… all while repping DITC (with its cabal of dope producers)… yeah, that’s a powerful recommendation. And stressing that GURU (RIP) had that monotone style that NO ONE could come close to imitating. Yeah, Finesse is spot on!
Enjoy and reflect on Gang Starr’s greatness. For the Culture!
