Ras Kass – SOI3 (ft. K-Rino) (prod. Apollo Brown) (Video)

Man,  I love this reworking of a classic!  You’ve got K-Rino joining Ras Kass trading verses over an Apollo Brown reworking of the Diamond D classic remix of the original which is a sacred treasure of mine and many.

I really do love the addition of K-Rino to the track as he is one of the illest emcees, and also amongst the most underrated.  His bars here are primo.  Respect!

Can’t wait for the new project!

WateRR X Doc Da Mindbenda – Lynch’n (Video)

WateRR is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists.  His voice and delivery is just unique.  He has a gravel to his tone, but an effortless flow…hence his moniker perhaps.  Here’s his channeling Mashawn Lynch for the track, Lynch’n, off his collaborative project with Doc Da Mindbenda, Chinese WateRR Torture, which is out now.  The track fuses both smooth and raw elements of hip hop for audible splendor, and if you like this one you are going to love the other two tracks off the short project.  The title track is absolutely amazing in my humble opinion.

Apollo Brown x Joell Ortiz – Cocaine Fingertips (Video)

Apollo Brown and Joell Ortiz have a new collaborative album out called Mona Lisa which is quite dope.  This track, Cocaine Fingertips, is not just given the video treatment, but more or less the cinematic treatment.   Brown drops a tight beat in stealth mode with Ortiz painting some ill lines with his super refined flow, all mingled in this video between a Pablo Escobar-esque story line.

Very entertaining….COP THE ALBUM.

Single You Out: Eff Yoo – Seppuku In B Minor (ft G.S. Advance, Aye Wun & Spit Gemz) (Prod The Kurse)

Eff

Eff Yoo and The Kurse are back in the lab and cooking up some heat.  If you add such chefs as G.S. Advance, Spit Gemz, and Aye Wun to the mix then you have music as food for days.

The Kurse puts together a beat as a blessing for the emcees to launch salvos over.  This vocal sample echoes in the background, while there is some savagery occurring on the mic.

I can’t wait for the new project to arrive.
