Here is the newest video from Grouch & Eligh for the track “!BOOM!” off of their latest effort Say G&E. The track is dope as hell, and it features Atmosphere frontman Sean Daley. From what I have heard of Say G&E, it is definitely a good outing by Grouch & Eligh with some great West Coast flavor. If you haven’t check out the album yet, make sure you do.

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.

The one and only Talib Kweli recently was in Chicago, and DJ RTC from Ruby Hornet TV had the chance to interview him about a variety of things. Talib talks about where he is at this point of his career and how he has gotten to the point where he is happy with his following. Talib and DJ RTC talk about The Beautiful Struggle a little bit, and they discuss how Talib was able to go on tour with The Beastie Boys, as well as the backlash from fans about the album. A good area that Talib touches on is Twitter and how he feels that he is able to convey something he feels strongly about to the people that follow him. As you can expect, Black Star is definitely mentioned in the interview. Talib also discusses what it’s like to be working with Hi-Tek again.
Make sure you check this one, Talib is one of the best that is doing it, as well as one of the best that’s ever done it. The video is a little long, clocking in at just under eleven minutes, but if you are a huge Kweli fan like me you will probably watch it. It’s always great to hear Kweli dropping some knowledge to the masses.
Well, it’s Monday and that means I am catching up on what little news was dropped over the weekend as well as posting the current stuff. I was over at 2DopeBoyz this weekend and noticed that there was a snippet download for the Slaughterhouse album. This is one of the albums that I am really looking forward to (not to mention countless others) because it has mad potential to be great. You can download the album snippets and view the track list after the jump Continue reading
I caught this one on TV yesterday, and it dawned on me that I should go to YouTube to see if I could post it for you guys. This is the type of commercial that you look forward to seeing. I’ve always been a huge fan of Nike SB skate shoes especially the Paul Rodriguez model, so naturally I’m going to love this commercial. In the video you get to see P-Rod tearing up the streets of LA on his board all over the place to the tune of “Today Was a Good Day” by Ice Cube. Even the Ice Cube cameo in this video is priceless. Probably the best commercial I’ve seen so far in 2009.
I was over at Hip Hop Official and I found this rare gem. What I have here, is the original 1992 Wu-Tang Demo. That’s right, this is before they became every Hip-Hop head’s favorite group with Enter The 36 Chambers. We are talking about the demo that got Wu-Tang Clan in the game. You will hear every member of the Clan gracing the mic just like they always have. Not to mention that you will get to hear some straight up old school RZA production. Don’t sleep on this one, you may truly regret it.

As my man Nolan mentioned earlier this week, Raekwon finally dropped the album artwork and tracklisting for Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II. In this video he talks a lot about the production that his going to be on the new album. He mentions that when he was going through the process, he thought that production was going to be the biggest piece of the album. Rae actually breaks down how dope he thinks (and I think) Dilla is on the boards. He calls him “like a Dr. Dre & a RZA… a combo”. I’m sure that you can expect nothing but straight fire from Rae & Ghost. Make sure you drop that shit on September 8th, you won’t regret it.
