Ooooh. We have a tough joint here. Really tough. I am not sure who did the beat, but I really like it . It’s perfect for a posse cut of this magnitude. All of the verses were on point. In short, I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Blacastan’s upcoming album, The Master Builder Part II, drops on March 13th. You have been warned.
Just trying to quickly put you onto some new music from the Creative Juices Music family. There are soooo many good joints off of this sampler. I have already heard most of them from the projects they already dropped on and they are all very dope. Just check the credits and I think you will find it a necessity to check this out.
If you are not familiar with the Creative Juices’ body of work, this is a great release to start with. You can check it out for free by hitting the download button below.

Note:
You know what upsets me? People telling me that Cold Heat is an up and coming hip hop group. Damn! These guys have been around for a while and working with some of the most storied artists in the NYC. Quit acting like Jak Daniels and Johnny Walker are a couple of new jacks. There album from 2006, Bar Hoppin’ is one of the most slept on albums in the last five years.
It’s Cold Heat, baby! Jak Danielz and Johnnie Walker are back with some more burnerz for your IPod. Both of these tracks are coming off of their forthcoming album, Raising The Bar. That album should be dropping on July 12th. If you are not familiar with their previous work it is time to do so. They really put together some great music. They are known for working with some of hip hop’s finest artists, but don’t get it twisted. Jak Danielz is an iillll spitter. He has a flow that makes you do a double take and these tracks are no different. Enjoy these jawns until the album drops, then be sure to cop.

Note:
Slaine was sure to be excited about the release of his debut album, A World Without Skies. Then came word that he needed to pay for sample clearance and the project would not release on the anticipated date in October. But rather than sulk over spilled milk, Slaine went right back to the lab and put together the mixtape, The Devil Never Dies for his fans. This wasn’t just slapped together. It couldn’t have been. I do know that Slaine, according to his Twitter account and the Outro of this mixtape, was hitting the studio for all night sessions trying to get this mixtape completed. Not only did he succeed in completing the project, but he earns our #2 spot for Mixtape of the Year.
