New Kidz in the Hall Album

Posted in Audio, Music News, News with tags , , on Tuesday, August 4, 2009 by Nolan Levenson

The duo Kidz in the Hall will be releasing a new album on October 13th entitled Land of Make Believe. I’ve seen them rock at Paid Dues and RTB ’08 and they are a lot of fun. Naledge is a talented MC and Double O a capable producer.  I like a bunch of their songs, but sometimes I feel like they are inconsistent. Hopefully the new album will not dissappoint. Above is the audio for the new single “Flickin'”.

Double O had this to say about the new album: “The Land of Make Believe is different things for different people. For us it is the space between where we are now as artists, and where we feel we should be. It’s the idea that until you actually get to your destination or goal you have to act like you are already there.”

Shout out to Hip Hop DX for the quote.

Here is a new joint off of Copywrite’s new project Ultrasound: The Rebirth EP which is due to drop in October. The track is produced by Jay Notes, and it features the always witty Sean Price on the mic. These guys make a great duo on the microphone, they have both always been known for their great rhymes. I can assure you that I will be grabbing the new EP as well as The High Exhaulted when it gets re-released. Make sure you go out and support Camu Tao and pick up the re-release of MHz, Table Scraps which is available via digital download as well as your local retail store. Shouts to 2DopeBoyz for the look on this one.

Raekwon, Ghostface, Inspectah Deck & Method Man are in the “House of Flying Daggers”

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 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.

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

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.

Joe Budden, Escape Route (Album Snippets x Artwork)

This is another one that dropped on the weekend that I didn’t get to. Joe Budden will be dropping his digital only EP next Tuesday on AmalgamDigital. This is different than the Slaughterhouse snippets, seeing as it’s recorded on Joe Budden TV and it features some live commentary and what not. You should still be able to get a pretty good idea of what Joey has in store for us.

The two guys that brought you the amazing track “Travellin Man” are back at it again with some new hotness for the people. The new track is called “Magnetic Arts” and it will be featured on DJ Honda’s new album IV. DJ Honda lays down a beautiful soul laced beat, and Mos puts down some serious flow to this one. You can get IV when it drops on August 5th.
