Eminem - Despicable FreestyleNot that Eminem needs even an ounce of more promo, but it's hard to deny that this shit goeeeees. It's a beautiful thing when someone is so talented, it doesn't matter what they've done in the past or how long it's been, when they drop some ill shit, you're gonna feel it no matter what. People will argue, but I won't be involved in all that lol. Oh yeah and this is

14KT - Damn U (Mixed By DJ Rhettmatic)It was great choppin' it up with 14KT down in Austin for SXSW. KT & I had never met face to face, despite knocking out a dope interview together well over a year ago. I've always appreciated his production and the good energy he puts out into the world, so it was no surprise that linking with him was 1 of the highlights of the trip. I'm lookin' forward to an

Props to Nas for handling his on the track & props to Fader for the headsup/the following write-up: Gil Scott-Heron’s new album I’m New Here is full of dark and foreboding tales that make his home city sounds like an

Pharoahe Monch ~ Freestyle Live From SXSW Duckdown X Pro Keds 15 Year Anniversary (Video)

2010-03-30T14:01:00.006-04:00

Word? You're gonna kill it like THAT!? People ask me why I think Pharoahe Monch is the greatest MC and I used to just play his verse on the Bring It On Remix and fall back like, "any questions?" - Now, just peep this video and watch him get open and I'll ask again, "Any Questions?" I considered it an honor and a curse that they scheduled Eternia's set at the same exact time as Pharoahe Monch's

Gang Green released this 12" on Tape Kingz, which also released joints from Shadez Of Brooklyn, Finsta Bundy, Stikken Moov, and some of the greatest mixTAPES ever recorded. The 12", "I'll Murder You" is assisted by Onyx, which almost guarantees it's gonna be some ignorant rap lol. What can I say ... Onyx was poppin' back in the 90s, I gave this some spins. It comes with a remix and clean, dirty,

2010-03-15T00:18:00.003-04:00

The line-up pretty much already speaks volumes about how dope this clip is gonna be, so I don't have to say much. I wanted to go up to the show, but the schedule has been crazy. Big props to Sucio Smash for the invite though, and this video clip, which is only a small portion of the show, is a nice reminder of how much it is MY loss that I couldn't make it up there lol. Enjoy - they all ripped it

2010-03-02T14:13:00.003-05:00

I dunno what the fuck a Wocka Flocka is ... but I can guess I won't like it lol. I'm definitely glad that Jay Smooth looked up the stats on this, because that certainly contradicts a lot of the general assumptions about how to go about making money in this industry (at least longterm). That said, the desires of most young cats isn't longevity, it's quick cash and with the trends in hip-hop,

I lost count of the # of radio shows Eternia has hit in promotion of the event on this Friday ("AT LAST" We Got A Record Deal Jam!) and of course, to promote her upcoming album w/ MoSS, "AT LAST." It's always dope to be a part of Jay Smooth's show, because it carries with it the very essence of what radio should be like - they support quality music, without the politics. I respect what they've

2010-02-19T01:43:00.010-05:00

Zion I's "Critical bw Venus" was released in 1999 on Ground Control Records. The tracks were featured on the solid release, "Mind Over Matter," and thanks to a recent convo, I revisited that album and this 12" and wanted to share it with everyone. There is a Madlib Remix to Critical, which might entice people, but the original is pretty solid as is & a Drum-N-Bass mix to Venus on the B-Side -

IMAKEMADBEATS aka "NeMo" is a talented producer, born in Fontana, California, raised in Memphis, TN, and definitely making moves on the come-up. Nicknamed “the Scientist” by his brother, TzarizM, NeMo says, "I don’t really think of the ‘mad’ part of my name as ‘angry,’ but more so as in ‘mad scientist. I’ve been a ‘take it apart and put it back together’ person all my life. I spent four years

'Don Cusack in High Fidelity' will be available on 3.23.10 at itunes, amazon, emusic and several physical retailers.

That said, here are a grip of new joints that have hit my inbox in the last couple days. A few I haven't even gotten a chance to listen to yet, so let me know what's good, what's not and I'll get back at everyone with some vinyl rips and a

If you read Eternia & I's "Daily Conversation" for this week, you got a small sample of a much larger 4-5 hour conversation that we had together at a diner @1am after her Haiti Benefit Show lol. For people that are still trying to "Get Caught Up" on Eternia, this is a perfect example of why I love her & consider her a life-MC. This verse reflects upon hours of talking & dealing w/ many topics

2010-01-26T02:33:00.015-05:00

Photo by B-FreshDJ Sav One: For today's "DAILY CONVERSATION" I kinda want to talk about the redundant formula used by many journalists for interviews with female eMCees. I'll let you explain it, because I know you know what I'm talking about it, but it's basically where the interviewer asks repeated questions entirely about being a female eMCee in hip-hop or tries to get you to talk about OTHER

Crate Essentials ~ Ed O.G. "Love Comes & Goes" x Jeru The Damaja "99.9%" x De La Soul & Redman "Ooh" x Das Efx "Baknaffek" x Group Home "Express"

Ed O.G. & The Bulldogs' "Love Comes & Goes EP" was released in 1994 on Chemistry Records. The LP version was produced by Diamond D & for many reasons I've come back to this track A LOT over the years. From the first time I heard it, it definitely hit me & continues to do so. It comes with 3 other joints (5 mixes), 1 of which features Scientifik (R.I.P.), making this an extremely solid release

2010-01-24T02:09:00.008-05:00

Leaked on twitter by Nottz, this is Little Brother's "Life Of The Party Pt.2" - obviously produced by Nottz. It's an alternate mix to a joint some of y'all should already be familiar with. It's an alright joint, nothing too crazy, but I'm not gonna sneeze at some previously unreleased Little Brother music. Nottz is definitely doing some big things of his own - lookin' for a lot of big production

Here's an unreleased joint from Common, called "Next Time," which was slated for Finding Forever, but was left off the album. That was a solid release, as is, so I'm not mad at it, but this is a good joint & certainly coulda replaced just about any track on a couple other albums lol. I'll always be a Common Sense fan, but I AM gonna need him to make his next release be a monster ... best part is,
