G.Huff x Lena Jackson – “Another Dead Rapper” (Remix) feat. M.O.P. [Prod. By Statik Selektah]
March 9, 2020
I admit. I’m a little off balance. Challenged mentally.
Forever with the sh!ts. HOT sh!ts. M.O.P. jumped right into the fi-yaaaah (especially knowing that Statik Selektah was responsible for the track, I bet). Another “Another Dead Rapper” on arrival. Pronounced by G.Huff & Lena Jackson.

Royce Da 5’9 – “I Don’t Age”
March 6, 2020
Flyer than the sky, I am the pilot of the Soul Plane.
‘Product of the dope game,’ he says. Nah, mane… Royce is the dope game. BARZ so unmatched, in fact, it’s so not a game! I mean, this is just another reminder. Who want it with Da 5’9? Rhetorical. Whoever you are thinking, STOP thinking they do. Because they DO NOT!
His barz are timeless!! His legacy is sealed. I got the title before I even pressed play #FACT

Tall Black Guy x Chaka Khan – “I Know You, I Live You Re​-​Rub” feat. Karizma (Kaytronik)
March 3, 2020
Prediction: Every grown folk jam opportunity that is worth anything going into the spring and summer WILL HAVE THIS BUMPING! Once again, Sir TBG is hipping us to what’s gonna be the hippest; and we are putting it up for you. See how we look out for y’all.
And this is an extra tasty taste. All we got was notification and links in the inbox. But then we went looking, REALLY looking, and found a snippet of what is available for you to reserve now. Listen above, and imagine the barbecues, house sets, parties in the park, old-to-the-new swing outs, or just you rolling dolo on a perfect afternoon with these grooves on deck! Linking this below.
Don’t sleep. But if you sleep, make it a quick nap. Don’t be late, but if you are, be fashionably fly with it. And if you sleep on this AND you are late to the party… maaaaan… It’s alright. Just come groove & be chill with all the fly, well-rested ninjas and Honeyz. Ha!
I Know You, I Live You For Sure is the first single from Tall Black Guy’s Remixes & Tings Vol. 1 collection released in 2019. This single represents his interpretation of a Chaka Khan favorite, and adds a modern vibration to the 80’s classic that would even make Queen Chaka herself proud. In the arena of remixes, this record solidifies Tall Black Guy as one of the best to ever practice the craft. The pulsating drums, and Chaka’s vocals weaving through the sonic landscape leave the listener in a trance moving without thought, and sweating without effort. The extended version of this new classic is sure to be in every vinyl lovers rotation.
Lastly, Tall Black Guy teamed up with Karizma (Kaytronik) for the B Side. A remix of a remix has resulted in a new House Head favorite known as “Love Dubâ€. There’s genius in being able to capture the vastness in small things, and Kaytronik has done just that. “His house music ears heard a pocket, and he just did his thingâ€, says TBG about Kaytroinik’s first encounter with the track. Tall Black Guy says, “when I heard what he did with it, I knew it had to be on the singleâ€. Now, the public has a chance to own what many will consider to be a part of music history.

D Smoke – “Gaspar Yanga” feat. Snoop Dogg
March 2, 2020
Likely by design, D Smoke has very few features on his album, “Black Habits.” Of the few album tracks with features, this is one with a real-live West Coast Hip-Hop icon… Uncle Snoop Dogg aka The DoggFather!
“Black Habits” is out now.

Slaine – “Still Got My Gun” feat. Vinnie Paz x ILL Bill x Rite Hook (Prod. By The Arcitype) [Lyric Video]
February 28, 2020
At the bottom of the pain I have found passion…
Tell you what: There’s real raw Hip-Hop pouring out of The Bean. Like a ‘bottomless cup’ there are so many emcees calling the place home; making Hip-Hop their own. Like Slaine does. You don’t even have to Google if you don’t know about Slaine. Just search this site! See how he and The Greater B (Boston) area do.
Boston’s veteran wordsmith Slaine new studio album “One Day” is scheduled for a November 22nd release via AR Classic Records. The album will be produced by The Arcitype and is set to feature guest appearances by Vinnie Paz, ILL BILL, Apathy, Locksmith, Rite Hook, Statik Selektah, and more.
“One Day” is a complex tapestry that navigates listeners through an emotional roller-coaster of pain, loss, reflection, and redemption. Throughout the album, Slaine searches for strength inside his wordplay, as he delivers his trademark sharp delivery and aggressive cadence. The music rattles the cage of the past to draw out the complex emotions that are needed to create a moving Hip-Hop album.
Throughout his music career which spans over a decade in a half, Slaine has released a collection of classic albums and worked with icons such as B Real, Everlast, ILL BILL, DJ Premier, Sean Price, Bun B, Sick Jacken, Raekwon, U God, DJ Muggs, Tech N9ne, Swollen Members, Action Bronson and Statik Selektah among others.

February 27, 2020

Uh oh… Royce Da 5’9 and Kxng Crooked are spilling tea and making folks that “Tricked” us up-f’n-set! I mean, “The Allegory” is supposed to have a ‘hidden’ message by definition. But joints like this, built on nothing be truth, leave no place to hide a lie!

M-Dot – “The Atonement” (Prod. By Pete Rock)
February 26, 2020
Shout out to Revalation (of EMS) again. Letting me know that his bredren got the biggest get yet: Pete Rock production! Hellooooo! Rev linked this track to me, and now I share it with you. And I started penning this post as I hit play (because I knew it was gonna be flames)!
As M-Dot tells it, he and the legendary producer met in 2017 when they were on the same bill for a show in Switzerland. The two showed mutual admiration for their talents and kept in touch ever since, eventually leading to their making music together.
The first result of that work is “The Atonement,†a bars-first, punishing track that demonstrates M-Dot’s love for the art of rhyming. He flexes some crazy patterns and internal rhymes atop Pete’s fittingly chilling instrumental, leaving us hoping that this is the only the first of many collaborations we hear from them this year.
In addition to Pete Rock, egO anD The eneMy 2: A Dissolute Paradise boasts production and guest appearances from the likes of Erick Sermon, Apollo Brown, !llmind, M-Phazes, Method Man, Willie The Kid, Vast Aire, and more.

Royce Da 5’9 – “Fubu” feat. Conway The Machine
February 25, 2020
What’s in my pocket at night I can’t fold.
Safe to say that Royce fux with Griselda heavy… Likely connected through Eminem, but we already know what a dope collabo that “Overcomer” with Royce and Westside Gunn is. Let’s see what this “Fubu” with Conway gone do.
“The Allegory” is out now.

Classified – “Rap Sh*t” feat. Dax x Snak The Ripper (Video)
February 25, 2020
Aaaaand now Classified is on my radar. I wonder if this is the same Classified that produced one of my slept-on faves – that “Capture The Moonlight†from D.O. (featuring Joell Ortiz and Saukrates). If so, then I revise and say Classified is back on my radar.
Either way, salute and clap it up for legit spit and real Hip-Hop coming down from the upper up-top (Enfield, Nova Scotia, Canada). Them sick barz! And the infection has spread to the States (Canadian Snak and Dax done made his way to L.A. U.S.A.).

Nino Man – “Life Without Love” (Video)
February 24, 2020
I ain’t curving n!ggas. I just got a family to feed.
So if you don’t feel love for Nino… all love… but fall back!
Man. He used to SWEEP the water, because his folks did not even have a MOP. No MOP, son! A mop costs nothing. So for a time, his family had LESS than nothing. Feel that? Struggle BARZ! I know that life (and I’m not alone, I know). Glad you made it out brother. Much love and a salute to Nino Man for this one.
I know that a “Life Without Love” is no life at all.

Rochelle Bloom – “Stay” feat. Rez Leon
February 21, 2020
Okay. Let me get my notes together. So it’s Rochelle (check). Still Hot (AF, check). Still got BARZ (again, AF, check). But is not really going by Hot 16 nowadays (but she will still ‘answer’ to it, okay, check). The Bloom is all about growth and progression (got it, check) with clear vision (2020 vision, check) for The Grammys (eight, CHECK)!
Yup. That’s still Rochelle in there… Still chasing the dream but never a check (check, and get a ‘day job’ if all you want is a ‘check’). If you are still rocking with the true emcee and her vision, “Stay” #Salute

Kore – “Everything Remains Raw” (Freestyle)
February 21, 2020
It’s Kore muthaf**ker!
That “Everything Remains Raw” beat that Bussa Buss blessed back in the day… it was made for cypher rhyming. No arguments on this will be heard. The matter has been closed since I saw dudes freestyling to it while we were waiting for Biggie to take the stage over at The UA back in the mid-90s. Yeah, UA like The University Of Alabama. This beat had the barz flowing where The Tide be rolling!
And now, Kore puts himself to the oral test on it. Salute!
Kore (of EMS) presents an unreleased freestyle over the Busta Rhymes instrumental “Everything Remains Raw.” Hope you enjoy it y’all.

‘Cause “Revenge” feel sweet. You gone see.
Maaaaan. J Lucas is making you (the listener) wait… wait… and WAIT for that drop and the start of the raps. But it is worth it. I will admit to that no cap. At all. This “Revenge”… it’s like Joyner is taking out all aggression in him out on the track.
