Nowaah the Flood x DirtyDiggs – The Gratuity (ft. Planet Asia) (Video)

Who is doing smooth hip-hop better than the producer Dirty Diggs?   Who has been a more prolific producer in 2018 other than, you guessed it, Dirty Diggs?  The answer is no one.  The man is next level and he linked up with an incredibly talented emcee, Nowaah The Flood for their collaborative project, Private Stock.  On the track, The Gratuity, the duo links up with the legend Planet Asia.    Smooth production + dope bars = fiya track!

Masta Ace x Marco Polo – Breukelen (ft. Smif-N-Wessun) (Video)

Marco Polo and Masta Ace bring you a tribute to the ‘boro that has brought us so much in the way of not only great music but simply hip-hop lore.   Along for the nostalgic ride they bring along icons in their own right,  Smif-N-Wessun, to assist on the chorus.  Polo laces the piano-driven rhythm, while Ace narrates the history.

The collaborative album, A Breukelen Story, drops on November 9th.

Buck-N-Nice – EMAG (Video)

This song has been in my Best Of 2018 playlist since I heard it.  I listen to this track from Buck-N-Nice at least two or three times a week.  It’s just that ill and somehow I missed the video when it dropped three weeks ago, so I am here to make an amends and share this dope track.    The video really just accentuates the illness.

Be sure to check the album if you are feeling this joint.
