Monday’s not over yet and I have not forgotten about your weekly Sparks fix! That’s right, if you’re not checkin up on K. Sparks on the weekly, you’re missing out. Here’s what he’s got cooked up this week…
“What’s good street family, For starters I want to say congrats to Barack Obama…this is a great day [...]

Ah, it’s been one of those days… I got a ton of stuff to post and no time… lol. Let me at least get up what I think the highlight for today was. This is the new mixtape from Tanya Morgan’s Von Pea spittin’ over some Madlib beats. Nah, not new beats. They’re the instrumentals [...]

People sometime ask me what I’m listening to. As I was grocery shopping through Wal-mart today, this mixtape is what I was listening to. When I was done, I knew I had to share it with those that haven’t heard it yet. Statik Selektah and Q-Tip put this mixtape out in 2007 as a tribute [...]

In 2000, Q-Tip, I mean, Kamaal the Abstract had a new project that in fact never got released. The self titled release is something that I think Q-Tip wanted to create musically for a while. Kamaal The Abstract is much more musical than any rap album I can think of. Many of the songs include [...]

We got the first part of the mixtape available for download here as one mp3 file; however if you want the full tape, you’ll have to head over to DJ Graffiti’s web site and make a donation. Check it [...]

As most of you Q-Tip fans know, Kamaal did not give up on music after his 1999 solo debut Amplified. Yes it’s been almost 10 years since his last official release, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t creating music. A lot of you know that Tip’s sophomore album was supposed to be 2002’s Kamaal The [...]

Ok, I promise! Last post for the night! I bet you all forgot we were doin’ Q-Tip Week here, huh? So much dope shit going on in the hip hop world, that I had to get you all caught up. And I definitely had to get this sampler online. New EPMD… this album should be [...]

History has been made & the American people have spoken. CHANGE IS NOW! DJ Concept (The Bash Brothers) was so damn amped when Obama won that he made this mixtape on the spot right after the announcement. Enjoy…

You know any Justus League/Little Brother affiliated mixtape is gonna get a post here! Toronto’s own DJ Wristpect is back with Volume 3 of his Bridging The Gap series. Previously he has bridged the gap from Toronto To New York (Volume 1) and Toronto To Chicago (Volume 2). This time he goes from Toronto to [...]

9th Wonder is back with a remix to The Cool Kids‘ “Delivery Man”. This totally does not sound like your typical 9th Wonder track, but it’s really nice to hear him evolving. A lot of people will probably say this is not 9th… prove me wrong. Seems like Ninth is using more instruments these days. [...]

First of all, I apologize for the terrible quality of the cover art here, but this mixtape is a must for all Tribe fans. Mixed by DJ Spair, this collection includes a bunch of great Tribe gems. The tracklist speaks for itself…

So you thought there were a ton of Probama songs prior to the election? Just wait as the flood gates start to open. I don’t normally make a habit of posting radio rips, but I saw this new Jay-Z track out there and had to share. Premiered on the Angie Martinez show, here’s “History”.

Ladies and Gentlemen, our dreams have become a reality… Barack Obama is officially the next President of the United States!
Thomas and I have planned for such an occasion. There have been a ton of Obama themed hip hop songs over the past few months. We have compiled our favorites along with other relevant hip hop [...]

Q-Tip Week is going great and I hope you all are enjoying the goodies. Let me break the trend for a moment to post this hot new mixtape I just received in my inbox from Hevehitta. I think out of everyone’s mixtapes I enjoy collecting the most, it’s those featuring Common. I’m about to listen [...]

Everyone’s got the election fever this year… first we had Murs For President, then 50 For President, now Q-Tip is running a campaign! Tip hooked up with J. Period to drop some dope verses over (none other than) “Eric B. Is For President”. Perfect timing… everyone should have done 2 things today: buy The Renaissance [...]
November 4, 2008 – 10:57 am
Make sure you cop The Renaissance today, one of the best hip hop albums this year! After you do, and you rip the tracks to your iPod, add these bonus tracks and remixes which are not on the retail album… after the jump!

You all may remember way back in February we introduced you to a new group put together by 9th Wonder. Back then they had just released their debut mixtape, M1 Invasion. We haven’t heard a peep from them since… until now. Chopps, Scoop, Arafat Yates, Sean D, C4 Black, Napalm, Beat Justice, and DJ Gonzo are [...]

Mick Boogie is KILLIN’ the mixtape game this year! Here he teams up with Complex magazine to present yet another mixtape dedicated to Hip-Hop’s New Kidz on the Block (like that?). Yeah, I don’t know about you all but I’m really gettin’ tired of the terms “new school”, “new cool”, and “the leaders” being thrown [...]

Theo’s been hittin’ me up the past few weeks with new tracks in his Channel Surfin’ series that he drops at the 1st and 15th of the month. I’ve been slackin, so let me drop the first three last two (I lost the first one) on you all…
November 3, 2008 – 9:20 pm
How ironic that our song of the week is the sample for this new track from Charles Hamilton, Asher Roth, and B.O.B.?
I may be an oldhead, but I prefer the original. This works though. If you haven’t voted, make sure you do that ish tomorrow! Our voices must be heard!
