Can you feel the hype surrounding you? Thanks to Shake, we have the UK bonus track as well as the iTunes bonus track off of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2. The first track is entitled “The Badlands”, which gets torn apart, and it features Tony Starks (Ghost). The second track is called “Walk With Me” and it’s produced by Scram Jones.

Have I ever mentioned that Minneapolis Hip-Hop is the shit? BK-One, who is Brother Ali’s tour DJ, will be dropping his new album Rádio Do Canibal with Benzilla on October 6th. This is the first leak off of the project and it features MPLS native Brother Ali, Phonte & The Grouch. The beat on this track is bananas, and it’s definitely something I could see myself listening to on a regular basis. It sounds like this project is going to be nothing short of amazing, and it will have a star studded cast of emcees. Over the instrumentals you will hear: Black Thought, Brother Ali, Phonte, The Grouch, Murs, Slug, Raekwon, Blueprint, P.O.S., Blueprint, Toki Wright & many more. You can go over to Fifth Element and pre-order the album now, which is probably a good idea. Follow me after the jump to download the track and peep the tracklisting. Continue reading
I want to send a mad shout out to 2DopeBoyz, as always, for posting these two gems. I had caught eye of these projects last week, but was unable to get them up because of school priorities. Blu has been one of my favorite West Coast emcees since he dropped the album Below The Heavens with Exile. These two projects that he’s released are instrumentals that he’s as of late. A lot of cats might be pretty pissed that Blu is just producing and not rhyming, because everyone knows Blu is very nice with the mic. Either way, I’m glad to hear that he’s constantly making new material, and I can’t wait for another proper full length release. Follow me after the jump to download both projects. Continue reading
You may be asking yourself that exact question. Who the fuck is Ray Benzino? Well if you were wondering, Ray Benzino is the man behind The Source Magazine, and he’s no doubt a dumbass. In this video he talks about the new Jay-Z cover (hating on it), why Slaughterhouse is overrated (Really?), he also says “Fuck Royce Da 5’9”. Apparently Benzino wanted to order a coffin for himself, because I dont think anyone should be fronting on the Slaughterhouse Machine, especially a dude that doesn’t make good music. Ray ended up taking it one step further and releasing an Eminem & Slaughterhouse diss track called “Good Fellaz”. Now, I don’t know about you guys but… I think that if either of these two respond to Benzino, shit is gonna be crazy as fuck. Follow me after the jump to download “Good Fellaz”. Continue reading
Man, Madlib is a total bully on the beats. This shit goes hard as hell. This track, “Get Ya Money Right”, is off of the forthcoming Madlib & Strong Arm Steady project Stoney Jackson. You know that shit is going to be on the realest label out there, Stones Throw. Defari, Krondon & Phil The Agony definitely leave this track decimated, and Madlib cooks up a beat that is just as infectious as Swine Flu. Don’t sleep on this one, you will regret it.

Mick Boogie is doing did a remix project of Peter, Bjorn & John’s album Living Things entitled Re-Living Thing. It sounds like the album is going to be incredibly dope and it is going to features an all-star cast alongside Mick Boogie. This track , “Just the Past (nVMe remix)”, features Detroit heavy hitters Black Milk, T3 & Big Sean. If this track is any indication of the amplitude of this project, it’s going to be fucking incredible. Damn, the Commissioner has done it yet again.

Your favorite rappers favorite ghostwriter, and the R&B prodigy from Canada linked up to remake De La Soul’s classic track “Baby Phat“. Your boy Skillz & Colin Munroe do a great job of remaking an already great song. To be honest, I totally agree with the message that is being displayed on this track. All you ladies out there should definitely give this track a listen.You can catch this track with many other De La remakes on Mick Boogie’s newest project with Terry Urban, Le Da Soul: 20 Years of De La Soul.

Here’s a new single from Joey that is produced by The J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, and it’s called “No Competition”. It’s always good to hear new shit from any member of the Slaughterhouse Machine. If you are still hating on Budden, shame on you. Go out and get Padded Room & Escape Route now!

Here is another guy that you should never think about sleeping on. Chace Infinite is one half of Self Scientific with DJ Khalil, and he’s a fucking crazy good emcee. If you haven’t gotten acclimated with him yet, you definitely need to do so. On this track, “The Path”, Chace rocks over Khalil’s beat that he did for 50 Cent “I Still Kill” and talks about the path that Allah has laid for him in life. This is definitely some dope material, and it will be featured on Chace’s upcoming mixtape I WOULD HAVE KILLED THIS… which I can assure you will be nothing short of amazing.
