Here is another track from the multi-talented Aloe Blacc. This time the track is called “Very First Time”, and he also produced the beat for this track. From what I read a while back, Aloe is working on a lot of new material right now. He will be putting out his own solo album, and he will be releasing another album with Exile (as Emanon) sometime in the future. Don’t sleep on this guy.

It’s always great to hear new tracks from Pete Rock. The dude is one of the biggest legends in the history of the game. This new track, “When I Need It”, appears on the soundtrack of the newest NBA Live game. As you can expect, the beat and the rest of this track is super dope. I can’t wait for the new Soul Brother material to come out, nobody touches his beats these days. You can follow me after the jump to grab the De La Soul track that will also be featured on the soundtrack. Continue reading

Definitely a great thing to see coverage on Detroit Hip-Hop, it’s my favorite shit out there (no offense Minneapolis), no one is bringing a sound to the Midwest (with the exception of MPLS) like Dietroit. Splash!-Mag caught up with Guilty Simpson, Phat Kat, Big Tone & DJ Graffiti this year at the Splash! Festival. Big Tone talks about how it’s his first time over in Europe and what that experience is like. Phat Kat talks about his new album that he is finishing up, The Katacombs, and an album called Co-Still that he is working on with Elzhi (that’s what I like to hear).
Guilty grabs the mic and mentions his album with Madlib, says that the Random Axe project is just about done, and that he is also working on his second official release. He delves into the OJ Simpson album and talks a little bit about what you can expect to hear. I had heard something near catastrophic happened on the Random Axe project, and Guilty tells us that Black Milk did indeed lose a lot of the work associated with the album. Sean Price & Guilty Simpson had to re-record their vocals for the album.
There is so much more in this interview that is great, I mean it’s 20 minutes long. Take some notes from one of the best Hip-Hop cities in the country.
Shouts to 2DopeBoyz on the look.
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.

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.

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.
