What area is putting in more work than the DMV right now? Laelo Hood just adds to the dopeness with fresh visuals for the cut, Cool, which is featured on Laelo Hood’s most recent album, Fuck The World. This cut is really on point. I liked it from the moment I first heard it. The window they put together is equally is nice. The whole 70s vibe with the two pane video is definitely a good look.
Interview: L*Roneous (2011)
L*Roneous blessed me with an opportunity to share a part of his journey both musically and personally. L*Roneous has been someone I respect more so as a fan than any other role I play. He was putting out music at a time in my life when perhaps it mattered most. His intelligence, voice, and consciousness resonate with me today in both former and current projects. I hope you all get an opportunity to listen to this emcee’s exceptional talent through his equally important message. I recently reviewed his latest album, Notes Of The Righteous Outlaw, and it certainly is one of the best 2011 has to offer. This interview has been a long time coming, so without further ado…
Single You Out: Scheme – Solitaire
Scheme talks about paying the price for trying to make it in the music business. It’s a dope song from an artist who has progressed so much from when he first started. He just keeps getting doper and doper.
Single You Out: The Audible Doctor – Church Night Remix (Ft. June Haze)
The Audible Doctor of Brown Bag All Stars released this track off of his forthcoming, The Spread EP (Vocal Version) dropping on March 12th. June Haze sounds pretty good over this beat and I look forward to seeing what other collaborations we have in store next week.

King Magnetic – Watch Out ft. General Steele, Esoteric, Ali Arms, Godilla, Jus Allah, Vinnie Paz (Video)
It’s hard to put together a doper line up than the one you will find on this track, but King Magnetic is the show stopper. He rarely gets outshined on posse cuts. If you are interested, you can cop the digi-single on Itunes.
Single You Out: Swave Sevah – Self Defense / Stab Wounds / This Nigga Here
I hope this not your first time checking for Swave Sevah. The artist dropped these cuts over twitter yesterday and I thought I would share it with the world. All three tracks are from his forthcoming release, Son Of A One Arm Man, releasing on Creative Juices Music. The choice track is , This Nigga Here. Swave bodies this beat. What a dope beat. Download each of the tracks separately below.

Note:The clean/edited version of Inglorious Beta dropped last year, minus the bonus cuts that you see on this current version. It was worth reviewing back then but it didn’t feel complete with the censorship. Now on, April 26th 2011, K-Beta unleashes the project as it was originally intended to be listened to, four letter words and all. I put the date in the post so you can write it down. It is the day somebody released a rare, classic album. I feel like once a year you will see an album that embodies the word “classic”. Last year it was The Left for their product, Gas Mask. Now, K-Beta’s Inglorious Beta needs to be mentioned in the same category.
Single You Out: Sketch – Virginia Tec-9
I got this off of K-Beta’s Twitter but you don’t care where it came from, I know. You care that it is dope, and it definitely is. I am really ignorant when it comes to this artist, but Sketch’s bars sound really dope over this bangin’ J-Scrilla beat, and it meets all the criteria for being posted on this blog. This is something to love. Be on the lookout for more Sketch in the near future. (I am telling you that this beat is killer, agree?)

CF – Forever ft. Dontique (Video)
Ok, I am on my Creative Juices Music grind. IDE has been talking about this artist CF for about a month now, really promoting his album, Storm Mode. I took it all in stride, expecting it to be good but not really giving it much else thought. It dropped on Itunes yesterday and for $6.99, I copped. It wasn’t good, ….it was PHENOMENAL. This guy is intense. He’s got an intense delivery and focus on every subject that he touches on. I hope to be able to do a full review soon but for no enjoy the video for the cut Forever ft. Dontique.
