The latest video by Marv Won from his crazy album, Wanye Fontes Music. Marv Won along with Rio Data (who steals the show) absolutely body this track. Clip directed by Che Patterson (Scrill Gates) and Mario “Khalif” Butterfield. Wayne Fontes Music can be streamed/purchased at his Bandcamp site.
*side note* Does anyone have a production/guest list for this album? If so leave it in the comments.
Young Chris should be dropping his Network 2 mixtape in the near future. Before that drops he has been busy releasing tracks to wet the appetites of his fans. “American Champion” finds him and Freeway flexing their skills over a piano laced track. Chris and J. Cole throw up their Roc signs on “Still the Hottest” and “Think About It” reconnects Young Gunner and Chad Wes.
I’m uncertain if any of these songs will be on The Network 2, but I labeled them as such.
Grabbed the tracks from 2DB, YN, and TSS. Props. Link after the cut.
Marco Polo and Ruste Juxx release the ninth video in their video mixtape series. The eXXecution drops March 23.
Link for the track after the cut.
As we await the release of Joell Ortiz’s Free Agent album, Royce’s Bar Exam 3, Joe Budden’s MM4 and/or Great Escape, and whatever project Crooked I is releasing; these freestyle/songs should hold fans over until the full course meals come.
Set doesn’t include much of Joey as we’ve post some of his loose tracks previously [here, here & here]. Some of the Royce tracks were released late last year. Just in case someone says….
Props to NMC sites for the tracks.
Here’s another classic mix by DJ JS-1 of the world famous Rock Steady Crew. I’m not even gonna describe this mix, just hit it at the jump for the tracklist. It’s Common need I say more….enjoy!
It’s Throwback Thursday and today we present to you a young legend in the making …DJ Skillz. Skillz digs deep in the crates to bring you those R-O-C heat rocks that you love to bump in the whip. Hit it at the jump and enjoy!
Two unreleased Raekwon joints hit the net today. The homie Justin tells me “Flawless Crowns” was released some time ago as “Blue Eagle” and “Range Rover” was on one of the Vatican mixtapes. Either way…tack em onto OB4CLII.

Marco Polo and Ruste Juxx march to the release of The eXXecution continues as video #8 was just released hours ago.
Video #6 up top with #7 and #8 download bottom. Links to all tracks after the cut as well.
Intution is releasing his new project, I Ruined These Songs For You next week (March 23). Check what he had to say about the tracks.
Today I’m sending out 2 more tracks off of “I Ruined These Songs For You.” The first is a song by The Black Keys called “Psychotic Girl.” The other is a classic Portishead track called “Humming.” I barely had to rearrange these songs at all, as they just had perfect 16 bar spots to rap on in them originally. Both of these songs knock in the car, and when I conceived the concept for this project these two songs instantly came to mind. “Psychotic Girl” was easy to draw inspiration from, as we’ve all had a psycho lady in our lives, and “Humming” is my interpretation of the song as a sordid one night stand between two former lovers.

Trackstar The DJ just released his latest mixtape featuring Jay-Z and Lupe Fiasco. This mixtape is similar to the Royce Da 5′9″ and Lil Wayne Best Rapper Alive mixtape he dropped last November; where he creates a dope mix of both emcees spitting over identical beats. Hova and Lupe step in the ring for eleven rounds to see who spit it the best.
I’ve heard all of these songs and can already tell you who wins this fight IMO. I’ll give Lupe “Pressure” and “Sittin Sidewayz,” but that’s it.
Spotted and hosted by TSS. Full cover, tracklist and link after the cut.
Video #5 from Marco Polo and Ruste Juxx…still waiting on #6 to pop up today. As a bonus links to the freestyles underneath.

Duck Down Music and 2K Sports have partnered to present an exciting contest for all aspiring producers and MCs to create unique and original music, along with the special opportunity to have their song included in the upcoming soundtrack for NBA 2K11, the next iteration of the hugely popular NBA 2K series.
Please note know the KN.com crew has nothing to do with this contest. We are only providing the information for those interested. A good portion of the information regarding the contest is after the cut, but I would read the official rules and regulations before entering.
Good luck to all and keep us posted on who is entering.
In preparation for the release of The eXXecution, Marco Polo & Ruste Juxx have combined forces with Mills Miller Media to present a 13 consecutive day video mix cd series titled “The Pre-eXXecution.” The web series includes original freestyles from Ruste Juxx with Marco Polo’s signature catalog instrumentals from your favorite MCs, accompanied with a compelling story-line, which sets the gritty tone of their forthcoming album. The Pre-eXXecution is a binge of hardcore hip hop with gut-wrenching vocals over heavy hitting drums that will show fans what to expect when The eXXecution album hits stores March 23rd.
I’m warming up to Ruste Juxx just a bit. Video #1 up top with #2 down bottom.
