I am really not the biggest fan of Bambu`s flow, but everything else is fuckin crazy. Krondon at his best. This Paper Son beat is off the chain.
Fuck the police.
This mixtape is a month old now, but just found the way to our inbox. New York Rapper Ellementt presents his latest Mixtape "Project Blue Beam". It features beats by J. Dilla, 9th Wonder, Reckonize Real as well as self produced stuff.
Unfortunately the End gets a little weak, but the first 5 tracks are dope !!
The duo of M-Tri and DJ Leecy T is reminiscent of the pairing that Guru and DJ Premier formed with Gangstarr, as an Emcee and DJ embodies the very essence of Hip Hop music. Suicidal Hype Shit is the quintessential anthem for the New York underground Hip Hop movement as it represents the grit, mettle and tenacity of a fresh corps of creatives who march on to the beat of a kick and a snare.
The Email said, that Bloggers need to post this and somehow the mail was tagged with my name by Solo (?!). Well, whoever tagged it with my name, was pretty right, suggesting i might like this, so, i share this with u people because it needs to be listened. Raw grimey rap without fancy ish. Plain and simple.
The Brainstormers is a collective of the Rappers Praverb, AL Laureate, Cayoz da Beast, O*zee and DJ Grazzhoppa. Their first sign of life is this EP with high carat features like Crooked I , Wu Tang affiliate Hell Razah, Duck Down Member Skyzoo and ManChild of Mars Ill. Really dope Boom Bap Beats with solid raps and flows. A must download.
Here's another Track of HaLos upcoming Free EP "Heatwriter II" dropping Feb 1st. This track is a beast and i hope the EP will be too. A potential upcomer for 2011.
The first time i heard of Schoolboy Q was some weeks ago as i saw the feature video with Jay Rock called "Whats the word".
Somehow Schoolboy Q decided to give his latest Album "Setbacks" out for free, after it dropped via itunes 2 weeks ago. Is it because of the lack of interest?! Missing sales?! Whatever, it is some great music for free, but if u like what u hear, u might consider buying it at itunes anyway.
Hip-hop took everything from soul. They got the pain from Syl Johnson, the melodies from The Delfonics and The Stylistics, the drums from Melvin Bliss (or rather Bernard Purdie), and the gangster shit from Curtis Mayfield. So it’s about time hip-hop gave something back besides royalties (“I’m sitting in the house now that was built with the Wu-Tang money,” -Syl Johnson).
Wildcookie sentimentalizes the same substances as Pusha T, but instead of summoning fiends with virulent couplets, Anthony Mills recalls his favorite heroin(e)-addicted jazz players with a 1974 falsetto. He’s singing about what the best rappers rap about: drugs. Take into account the incredibly funky beats and you’ve got a soul project that hip-hop heads will be able to appreciate without removing their mean mugs.
A Wildcookie/Ghostface collaboration is at the top of my wish list. The album, Cookie Dough, drops February 21. Here are some select cuts.
