I have to apologize for my posting (or lack there of) for the last couple days. School has hit full force, and I just don’t have as much time as I usually do. 2DopeBoyz posted the second leak off of KP’s upcoming album Elizabeth, “Murdah Murdah at Dawn”, the other day and I didn’t get a chance to post it right away. Priest is one of the best emcees in the game and I am really looking forward to hearing the new heat that he’s going to bring. Be sure to grab Elizabeth when you are out picking up Street Hop on October 20th.

Thanks to 2DopeBoyz we have yet another track from the always amazing Sean P! This track, “Top Rank”, is a promo for the upcoming Random Axe project with Black Milk & Guilty Simpson. No word yet as to when the Random Axe project will drop, but I can assure you that it’s going to be astronomical.

Brother Ali & Evidence Talk to Mr. Peter Parker @ Us Midnight Release

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , , on Wednesday, September 23, 2009 by Tim Althaus

As many of you know, Brother Ali’s latest album Us dropped yesterday. If you haven’t bought it yet you should be pummeled to death, because it’s absolutely incredible. Ant’s puts forth some of the best beats I’ve ever heard him make, and Brother Ali’s rhymes are sure to move you.

Peter Parker had a chance to catch up with both of these emcees at Brother Ali’s midnight album release at Fifth Element. Brother Ali talks a lot about the new album and what it means to him. He also talks about BK-One’s new album coming out October 6th, Radio Do Canibal.

Parker got a pretty long interview with Evidence, and they discuss a wide variety of topics. EV discusses what it’s like to be a part of the Rhymesayers team, what it was like to lose AM (good friends), how his solo material is different than the Dilated material, Rakaa’s new album Crown of Thorns (February 2010), and the new Dilated Peoples album (Damn…). This is just one of the reasons I love Evidence the most, dude is humble and everything he says is on point.

Here is the second cut we’ve been able to hear off of BK-One’s new album with Benzilla, Rádio do Canibal. This track features The Hypnotic Brass Band, which is a 9 piece group out of Chicago. From what I’ve heard, this album sounds like it’s going to have some incredible beats. Pick that shit up on October 6th and support local music.

Can’t say I agree with you Mos, but we are all entitled to our own opinions.

Good Lord, Sean Price has done it again. The artwork to this one looks pretty epic, and according to the post at 2DopeBoyz, this mixtape will be a prelude to the upcoming Mic Tyson project. It is going to be dropping on October 27th. You can expect to hear: The Boot Camp Clik, Royce Da 5’9″, Rock (of Heltah Skeltah), Ruste Juxx, Torae, Skyzoo & Poison Pen all rocking with Kimo Price. Don’t sleep on Sean P, you will regret it.

Brother Ali Performs “The Preacher” in Paris

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , on Sunday, September 20, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Us comes out on Tuesday, and I have already been hearing quite a few people herald it as the best album of the year hands down. It’ll be nice to take my 10:05-11:15 break from class to run to Best Buy and scoop the new album, and immediately throw it in my CD player. The video above, which I caught over at 2Dopeboyz, features Ali performing the track  “The Preacher” off of the album Us. Sounds like Ali might have another classic on his hands…

R.I.P. DJ Roc Raida

I would have posted this yesterday when the news came about, but I didn’t have a chance to get to it. I had logged on to Twitter for the first (and only time yesterday) and saw that R.I.P. Roc Raida was a trend and I went motionless. I couldn’t believe that another legend in the game of Hip-Hop, not to mention one of the best DJ’s of all-time, passed away. I’m still expressionless about the matter, yet another talented soul that was taken much too early.

Many of you may know Anthony Williams (AKA DJ Roc Raida) as being a part of the DJ clique The X-Ecutioners, and many of you may know of his solo material that he released over the years. One thing is for certain, Roc Raida is one of the most talented individuals to have ever touched the decks. He was the 1995 DMC World DJ Champion, and anyone who has seen the man in action will testify that he’s unreal. If you don’t know what I mean, just watch the video I’ve attached below of Roc performing with Bussa Buss just a short month ago.

Here is some unreleased hotness from Nickel Nine. Thanks to 2DopeBoyz for the find on this one. Apparently this track was supposed to be on the Revival LP (No, not the Revival EP), which is an unreleased album. This track is super dope, and I think everyone should definitely take a listen to this shit. Follow me after the jump for the track download and Street Hop tracklisting. Continue reading
