Wu_Tang_Clan_And_D-Block-Wu-Block-2012-TOXi


Here's an early promo of the Wu-Block album that has been floating around. The cover will probably change, and also the tracklisting. Word on the streets is that this is a rough version. Sheek Louch and Ghostface make up this pugnacious duo that seems to be the "new " odd couple. They have an upcoming show at Upstate Concert Hall in Clifton Park. Grab tix here. See for yourself how these two veterans make a most excellent combo. Man these fooos even bringin' Lil Cease out the woodwork.

Domo_Genesis_X_Alchemist-No_Idols-2012-UC




Domo Genesis and The ALC bring you this LP on the fly that features the other members of OFWGKTA, Action Bronson, and Prodigy to name a few. There was practically no promotion other than one song leak for this record. Alchemist stated on his twitter page the day before it was to drop, that this is the was it's suppose to be done. Industry giants cant leak what they dont have access to. I'll be the first to tell you I could give 2 shits about Odd Future, I think they are over hyped and undereducated in the hip hop game. I do love the Alchemist and the people he fucks with tho, Hence this post.

This jawn popped up on my timeline the other day and I had to show some love. Nottz on all production and some great features on this record. For all you heads that dont have a clue, The Bad Seed, who resides in Menands from time to time, actually put me on to this. Rugged beats and fresh rhymes. Get you some.

Concise Kilgore is back with a new joint feat. Queens native Bronsolino. They both murdered this track and there is also a clean and instrumental version that I didn't include. Go buy the vinyl if you want that. I got mines. Action staying in the press as always.

Domo_Genesis-Elimination_Chamber_feat._Earl_Sweatshirt_Vince_Staples_and_Action_Bronson-CDS-2012-UC

Ruby_Hornet_X_Action_Bronson-Blackbird-CDS-2012-UC


Taken from the Closed Sessions VIA Ruby, produced by Thelonious Martin, this is just one more in the stockpile of tracks that feat. Bam Bam Bronsy. If this entire project is anything like the leaks we've heard, then people better start jumping on the comp wagon not now, but right now.

Honestly, I just feel like catching you up of you haven't been paying attention. We only support the real around here and are always up on the fresh artists' before most others. I'm guessing that this is a toss out for the Mr. Wonderful project that Bronson and MAS have on deck. This fucking sample is incredible, and if you have to ask, I already dug it up.

Meyhem_Lauren-Fingerless_Driving_Gloves-VIDEO-2012-LOLIFE


The latest flick from Meyhem. During SXSW, the hulking Queens rapper assembled a big pile of friends and recorded the bulk of his excellent Respect The Fly Shit mixtape. The hazy-but-intense “Fingerless Driving Gloves” is one of that tape’s few songs that doesn’t feature a small battalion of guest-rappers. And in its brand-new video, Lauren spends time glowering on New York restaurants and eating expensive-looking lunches alone at sidewalk cafes, which seem to connotate a lonely existence. Steven “Scarboro” Velasque directs.



Harry_Fraud-In_The_Lab-VIDEO-2012-NOISEY


Fraud gives us all some more insight into how he makes his beats, who he likes to work with, and how it all started for him. After recreating the classic Vast Aire sound, and dabbling with other projects, he caught a big break when Flex asked French for an anthem for Summer Jam. As they say, the rest is history. I sure hope that is just a wig he wears for interviews.



Trackstar_The_DJ-The_Into_The_Wild_Tour_Mixtape-2012-kLOOP




This is a real tight mix of all the newer El-P productions flipped by Trakstar. If you haven't caught this yet, toss it in the Ipod and vibe out. It reminds me of the early Jux days when they were pushing Lif's I Phantom heavy to college airwaves. If you are a good hunter you should go grab the mix I did for Def Jux back in 2002 called "Definitive Sampler Platter". Good luck with that tho.

Cage-Misanthrope_Remix-CDS-2012-UC


This is just one of a few remixes of this song floating around the net. There is a screwed and chopped 78% version that has me laughing. No, I was laughing hard. I never expected to hear Cage screwed and chopped. What the fuck is wrong with people. lololol.

Evil_Ebenezer-Kush_Ups-EP-2012-UC


Hailed as “the best new voice in Canadian rap” (Exclaim Magazine), Evil Ebenezeer has become the voice of a generation that doesn’t want to grow up, get a job and give up their childhood dreams. With a mastery of cadence, he captures the neurotic soul of our times with eccentric dysfunction, humour and epic darkness all told with his trademark butter smooth delivery. This West Coast legend, has shared stages with the likes of the mighty Souls of Mischief, RA the Rugged Man, Planet Asia, Devin the Dude, Tech Nine and the Beatnuts. Spending his time touring North America he met up with a couple deviants from Vancouver and created something truly hideous. Along with cult sensation Snak the Ripper and Young Sin he formed the super group Brass Tackz. The group joined the Warped Tour 2010 to play for crowds of 20,000 screaming fans. In the interim, our twisted hero has created his solo masterpiece, Evil Eye, and is once more taking to the road to “shatter the expectations of hip hop fans” (Spin) with his, “Pulp Fiction like adrenaline shot to the heart performances” (Urb) converting strangers to obsessed fans. This is the Evil your parents warned you about.

Awar-Tunnel_Vision-CDS-2012-UC


Awar hits us with his second joint from ALC. By the sound of this beat, you can tell The Chemist still has his touch. I remember talking to Awar during a show a few years ago and he was gearing up for some of these releases back then. I love that he waited for the perfect time to drop it. Timing is everything in this day and age. Salute man.

ICE CUBE X OAKLAND RAIDERS


GooooooooOooOOooooooo Raiders!




N.W.A.-Approach_To_Danger-(Mixdown)-VIDEO-UC


Some spliced studio footage from late '89 around the time Ice Cube left. They were finishing up another one of the albums in my top 10...EFIL4ZAGGIN.The name of the new album had been revealed in "Kamurshol" from N.W.A's previous release 100 Miles and Runnin', but only by playing a vinyl copy backwards could the otherwise unintelligible sound be deciphered as "niggaz for life". Since the album contained the word "Nigga" in it, on some publications it had to be edited out as Straight Out of Compton 2.
The album went on to hit #1 on the Billboard 200 on 1991.
