This is a gem that Nah Right uncovered. This Evidence interview is from roughly three years ago (20/20 era). The video starts off with a nice little performance of the Dilated track “Back Again”, which is definitely one of my favorites. After that, the interview starts and EV starts talking about the constants in Hip-Hop (which is evolution). EV also talks about how the labels get a cut in what seems like everything. I love how, even back then, Evidence was talking about wanting to carve his own path in the Hip-Hop game. Shouts to the dopest emcee/producer/advocate on the planet.

Evidence Interview with 24/7 Hip-Hop

Thank you Shake. That’s right, Killah Priest is dropping his official follow-up to Behind the Stained Glass on October 20th. The album is entitled Elizabeth (Introduction To The Psychie), and “The 7 Crowns of God” is the first leak off of the album. The track goes hard as hell, and it reminds me of that classic Killah Priest that I know and love. If you’ve never heard Priest, you should truly be ashamed, definitely one of the best out there. This track highlights Priest’s story telling capabilities perfectly, you shouldn’t sleep on this.

In the above video you can catch Cymarshall Law tearing apart the Hip-Hop Kemp Festival in the Czech Republic. In the video you get a nice little cameo from Devin the Dude in the beginning as Cymar is breaking down the situation. Another surprise gem is getting to watch a little footage of Blu & Exile performing together, which I’m sure is an incredible experience. At the end of the video you get to see Cymar rocking hard on the stage. Follow me after the jump to hear Cymar ride over RZA’s “New Wu” beat. (It’s super dope) Continue reading
Masta Ace & EDO G (A&E), “A’s & E’s” (Feat. Marsha Ambrosious)
Posted in Audio, Downloads with tags A's & E's, Arts & Entertainment, EDO G, Marsha Ambrosious, Masta Ace, October 6th on Tuesday, September 15, 2009 by Tim Althaus
God I love getting treats in my e-mail inbox. This is the newest leak off of the Masta Ace & EDO G album, Arts & Entertainment. This track is called “A’s & E’s” and it features Marsha Ambrosious. Much like the first leak, “Little Young”, “A’s & E’s” has a theme that is super dope. Almost every word in Ace’s repertoire starts with an “A”, and everything EDO G rhymes with begins with an “E”. October 6th folks….

Mos Def, The Black Keys & Jim Jones – “Hoochie Coo”
Posted in Audio, Downloads, Media, Video with tags Black Friday, Black Roc, blues, Dame Dash, Hip-Hop, Jim Jones, Mos Def, Pharoahe Monch, Q-Tip, Raekwon, RZA, The Black Keys on Monday, September 14, 2009 by Tim AlthausVodpod videos no longer available.
Holy shit. As you all know I love Hip-Hop, but I also love The Black Keys. There is something about their music that is so dynamic, that it pulls me right in. Their heavy Blues riffs, and great lyrics made me fall in love with their music. When I headed over to 2DopeBoyz today, I found out that the Black Keys are going to be putting out an album with a bunch of Hip-Hop guest appearances. On the album you will find: Mos Def, RZA, Jim Jones, Q-Tip, Raekwon, Pharoahe Monch & more. The album will be dropping on November 27th, or Black Friday. The project will be called Black Roc, and Dame Dash will have a pretty big part in this album being released.
Good Lord, this album sounds like it’s going to be incredible. The first single “Hoochie Coo” dropped today, and it features Mos Def & Jim Jones. I can assure you that I already like the Black Keys infused beats that I am hearing on this track. I think this album is going to be a force to be reckoned with.

Posted in Media, Video with tags A&E, Arts & Entertainment, EDO G, Masta Ace on Sunday, September 13, 2009 by Tim AlthausTalk about another album that I absolutely can’t wait for. As I mentioned in an earlier post, Mast Ace & EDO G are putting out their album, Arts & Entertainment, on October 6th. I can assure you that it is going to something that is definitely worth spending your hard earned money on. The concept for this video looks incredible, and the way the video is shot, it looks exactly like the show The First 48.

Pacewon & Mr. Green, “Four Quarters” (Video)
Posted in Media, Video with tags Four Quarters, Mr. Green, Pacewon, The Only Color That Matters Is Green on Sunday, September 13, 2009 by Tim AlthausHere is the newest video from Pacewon & Mr. Green for the track “Four Quarters” off of their album The Only Color That Matters is Green. As I mentioned in the album review post, The Only Color That Matters is Green is easily one of the top 10 albums of last year. “Four Quarters” is one of my favorite tracks off of the album, because it features epic production from Mr. Green and Pacewon spits some really nice bars. This is a post you most definitely don’t want to sleep on. WATCH. LISTEN.

Royce Da 5’9″ Has That “New Money”
Posted in Audio, Downloads with tags New Money, Royce Da 5'9", Street Hop, Streetrunner on Sunday, September 13, 2009 by Tim Althaus
It seems like October 20th is never going to come. I spotted this leak over at Nah Right, the track is called “New Money”, and it’s produced by Streetrunner. This track is definitely dope as hell, and it shows just how diverse Royce’s flow is. I know I am going to be at Best Buy on October 20th when Street Hop drops, and you should all feel ashamed if you aren’t picking it up.

Brother Ali & Toki Wright, Behind the Scenes in the Studio
Posted in Media, Video with tags Brother Ali, Evidence, Fresh Air Tour, The Freshest Kids, toki wright on Friday, September 11, 2009 by Tim AlthausDamn this shit sounds like it is going to go hard as hell. Here is some footage of Brother Ali & Toki Wright in the studio during the making of a new track featuring Evidence entitled “The Freshest Kids”. Apparently they are making this track for the “Fresh Air Tour”, which I already have my tickets for (and you should to). If I may mention, the beat on this track sounds beyond sick. Also, listen for Toki going in at the end of the track, “Inglorious Bastards/enjoying this action, make audience backspin/kick like a 44 magnum, ribbed like a trojan magnum package/I’m askin’ how the kid rappin’ above average”. DAMN.
