My man 20 Keys just hit me up with 2 new tracks from Trav Williams‘ new project called Feel Good Music. If you’ve been reading the blog for a while, you know that I’ve been doing nothing but raving about Trav’s album The Trickle Down. I’ve actually worn it out. If it were on cassette, […]

One thing that I love more than dropping a new sample set on you guys, is dropping an exclusive album release. A few months ago, we brought you the premiere of Spectac & 9th Wonder’s Corner of Spec & 9th. Now, thanks to my man MIDI Marc, we have another exclusive for you — N’Telligence’s […]

Here is it… one of my most anticipated releases for this year…. and it’s FREE! Thanks to Deez for posting the link in the CBox last night. I was waiting all day for this to drop yesterday and it didn’t until last night after I had gotten offline. So, if you haven’t gotten it yet, […]

Two brand new exclusives right here! I totally wasn’t expecting this. If you remember back when we released Corner of Spec & 9th, Spectac told me in his interview that he had another album in the works that had gotten shelved. It was gonna be called Spectac Starring as Superman for a Day, Clark Kent […]

I’m a sucker for mash-ups; mash-ups done right anyway. If you are too and you haven’t heard of Girl Talk, then I highly recommend you check out his latest album, Feed The Animals. Once you do, I guarantee you’ll be picking up his other three ablums, all released on Illegal Art.

Kidz In The Hall’s road trip began in New Jersey as producer Double O devised a bass-heavy instrumental and decided he and rapper Naledge were going to travel the USA putting their favorite artists on the record. The duo paid a visit to Masta Ace in Brooklyn, NY and then made a quick pit stop […]

Although most of the details are sketchy, the one thing that’s certain is that the once highly influential underground hip-hop DJ/Producer and Perceptionist member, Fakts One, one day, simply disappeared. Some blame problems with his record label that folded right before the scheduled release of his debut solo album. Others say the stresses of […]

Instead of arguing or preaching, Tanya Morgan disproves the “Hip-Hop Is Dead” argument with a simple song that demonstrates the existence of good, living hip-hop in 2008. “Hip-Hop Is Dead 2″ features fun rhymes and a beat that samples the smile itself… yet many think the art form is dead? That’s pretty incongruous, if you […]

I don’t normally do political posts here on the site, but I am a firm supporter of Barack Obama. My man J. Brookinz hit me up with a track he just finished with his boy Alpha. It’s more or less a hip-hop biography of our hopeful next President.
J. Brookinz is probably best known […]

Indie hip-hop icon C-Rayz Walz teams up with fresh-faced, yeshiva-trained wordsmith Kosha Dillz for twelve tracks that mix freestyle and written rhymes, classic and new-school beats, and the frantic, fast-paced energy of a single, manic 24-hour recording session to produce, yes, “Freestyle Vs. Written,” the first collaboration of its type. CMJ writes, “.. it’s both […]
