Is it just me, or does September 8th seem right around the corner? With joints like this one, you can’t blame me for being anctious. This ridiculously fire track comes via 2DopeBoyz, and it will also be on Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II. Raekwon brings along Ghostface, Inspectah Deck & Method Man to drop some mad Wu flavor on a Dilla treat. As you would expect all 4 emcees rip this shit apart (especially Ghost) on a ridiculous Dilla beat.

Brother Ali and the fine people at Rhymesayers Entertainment have leaked the track “Us” for free download. If you didn’t catch it, I posted the preview video of this track the other day. Above this post is the artwork for Ali’s new album Us. If you haven’t yet, make sure you pre-order the album here. Sounds like this album is shaping up to be yet another fine piece of work from Ali.

This video has Tony Starks listing off his top 5 emcees (with the exception of another one). Ghostface is one of the most consistent and potent cats in the game, and it’s good to see him giving other emcees props.

Cymarshall Law “Runs This Town”
Posted in Audio, Downloads with tags Cymarshall Law, Everliven Sound, jay-z, Mr. Joeker, Run This Town, The Creator's Kid EP on Thursday, July 30, 2009 by Tim Althaus
This is Cymarshall Law’s take on Jay-Z’s “Run This Town”, and boy does this shit go hard. If you haven’t listened to me talk about this guy before I don’t know if there is any hope left for you. He just leaves microphones destroyed and demolished everywhere in his path. Make sure you check this one out, I think you might even like it more than that Jay-Z version. I forgot to mention, the 2DopeBoyz article also confirmed that Cy has two projects (The Creator’s Kid EP & Everliven Sound) that are complete and will be coming out this fall. You know what that means people, more Cymarshall Law & Mr. Joeker.

Posted in Audio, Downloads with tags Consequence, Inside a Change, Joell Ortiz, OST, Rik Cordero, Royce Da 5'9", Saigon, The Kickdrums, Wale on Thursday, July 30, 2009 by Tim Althaus
This track comes to us via the Inside a Change original soundtrack. The movie is written and directed by Rik Cordero. The movie sounds like it is going to be a pretty deep emotional movie, and to be honest I really want to see it. The sountrack looks phenomenal, you can expect to hear from Royce Da 5’9″ (obviously), Joell Ortiz, Consequence, Saigon, Wale, The Kickdrums & More. Follow me after the jump for the Royce download as well as the download and tracklisting for the soundtrack. Continue reading
Elzhi & Black Milk on Splash! Mag
Posted in Media, Video with tags Black Milk, Elzhi, Lord Finesse, Motown, Music From The Color Purple, Splash Mag on Thursday, July 30, 2009 by Tim AlthausVodpod videos no longer available.
Here is some more Splash!-Mag footage with Elzhi & Black Milk. If you remember, I posted the first part of this video a while back. In the second part, they talk about the history of Motown in pretty big detail. These guys are both very intelligent individuals who are very up-to-date on their musical knowledge. Black Milk also talks about all of the people that made tracks from his project Music From The Color Purple, not to mention how as a producer you can’t put any of your beats on the internet anymore. Black discusses that he is debating one whether or not to make a beat tape (thank you god), but he knows he has to beware if he does. Elzhi breaks down why Lord Finesse is one of his most influential emcees and how he fathered some people’s style.

Here is some nice footage of Little Brother & Just Blaze rocking shit in Chicago at the recent Red Bull Big Tune Beat Battle. Little Brother is one of my favorite groups in Hip-Hop, and Just Blaze is one of the most fire producers in the game. You shouldn’t sleep on this one guys. I totally wish I could have been at this shit. Notice how Just Blaze gets everyone ready by playing some of his insane beats.

Skyzoo Shows You “The Beautiful Decay” (Video)
Posted in Media, Video with tags 9th Wonder, brooklyn, Skyzoo on Thursday, July 30, 2009 by Tim AlthausVodpod videos no longer available.
As you may remember, I posted the artwork & tracklisting for Skyzoo’s album, The Salvation, last week. This is the video for the first single off of the album. The track is beautifully produced by none other than 9th Wonder, and the video concept for this song is fresh as hell. Skyzoo spits each verse passionately from a different spot in Brooklyn. Being able to listen to tracks like this make me crave this album real bad.

The Philly Freezer is back with another masterful cut produced by the proidgal son Jake One. According to the 2DopeBoyz article I read this track, “Old To The New”, will be on Freeway’s upcoming mixtape The Beat Made Me Do It. Much like Freeway’s Rhymesayers release The Stimulus Package, The Beat Made Me Do It will feature Jake One on the production boards (my lord). Don’t be foolish people, get your click on.
