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.

KRS-ONE – Black History Month: Lessons 1 & ​2 (Lecture Audio)
February 21, 2016
Black History Month: Lessons 1 and 2 is an eye-opening lecture of Black historical teachings by KRS-ONE. Narrated by Kris himself, this is a critique of Black History Month itself, re-frames the historical narrative of Black people in America properly, speaks of Black consciousness, cites and honors Black revolutionaries (past & present), and covers modern-day Black intellectuals. Mainly, Black History Month: Lessons 1 and 2 is meant to do away with misinformation regarding the African American ancestral narrative. Who better to do this with sharp intellectual analysis, retrievable facts, cited literature and poignant commentary than KRS-ONE? Nobody!
And what price is better than FREE? But, yeah, about that. Maybe… consider PAYING something for it; chipping in whatever you feel is doable financially. Because THIS is worthy work by a man who has been The Teacha to us all (Hip-Hop Nation, Black people AND Humanity) for so long. He did not have to do this. But once you click play you will be so glad he did!
Tragedy – “Modern Day Gangsta†feat. KRS-ONE x A.G. (Prod. By Stricknine)
July 14, 2015
“Modern Day Gangsta†is a wake up call to the passive, who just ride along with the current power structure and status quo. Not just a nudge though, more like a shot fired to start another volley in the revolution. First trigger is pulled by the leader of this lyrical skirmish, the Q-Borough’s Tragedy Khadafi. Then the Boogie Down great, KRS-ONE “The Teacha†gives us some edutaining commentary on “Gangstaâ€Â politicians. Then comes A.G. of DITC Crew talks about police murder, the hostility and reality. The trio is putting the message into your ears, to get into your mind and body; to reenergize the soul of the movement. It’s a powerful elixir laced with (and by) Stricknine.

KRS-ONE – Hip Hop Is One (Prod. By Domingo)
July 14, 2014
Unity! That’s what it’s all about.
– KRS-ONE
Domingo on the beat. The Kris spitting positivity on the track. Domingo has a compilation album with Channel Live (Hakim and Tuffy) and The Blast Master KRS-ONE on the way. Should be good; like this first leak “Hip Hop Is One.”
