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.

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.

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 [...]

Someone I know on the inside says this is the track that’s gonna blow up in the clubs this summer. Not because of O’Neal McKnight, but because he’s got the two producers who claim they invented the remix on this remix; Puff Daddy and Jermaine Dupri. That’s right I said Puff Daddy. Not [...]

Listen closely to his lyrics, and you can hear the tension beneath the relaxed veneer; the smiling threat beneath the invitation to merely enjoy the track. It is this artistic duplicity that makes FatRat a fan favorite… (The CASHionista, 2007)
