[NEW] Big Boi - "Fo Yo Sorrows" (ft. George Clinton)

Fiiiiiiiiiyah. Daddy Fat Sacks teams up with Mr. Funkadelic himself. Too Short even makes a quick cameo. From Big Boi's upcoming album, Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty. This is pimp. If this is any indication of what his next album is going to sound like, then it's going to sound very good, my friends.

[NEW] BASICALI - "Nobody Cares"

Go HERE to listen and download the track.

[NEW] Xzibit ft. U-N-I - “So What”

Say word? X-to-the-Z and U-to-the-I on the same track? That's what I'm talking about. Big things poppin for the Inglewood duo. This track is the second release from Cashmere Agency Presents Mr. Grustle & Tha Russian’s Dubstep LA: Embrace The Renaissance Vol. 1 Mixed By Plastician. That's the longest title I've ever seen. And I don't even really know what it means. But the song is crazy. It's some Russian Dubstep, which is evidently some electro-breakbreak type ish. But that's just a guestimation. All I know is Xzibit gets his double time flow on for a sec, and it's pretty gangster. It's safe to say he Pimped The Rhyme...hahaaaaaaa. I know, that wwas bad. But the song is good.

[NEW] Strong Arm Steady x Madlib - "Get Your Money Right"

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. I've been waiting on this album since Krondon told me about this project about 6 months ago. He let me hear some cuts, and hotdamn, the shit was fire. Especially the song with Phonte. Just you wait. Back then, they didn't even have a title for the project. They were thinking "Mad Steady" but they since scrapped that for "Stoney Jackson." That'll work.

Here's the first preview from the album, courtesy of the Stones Throw Podcast. The project features 16 cuts, all produced by Madlib the bad kid, and features apperances from Talib Kweli, Guilty Simpson, Planet Asia, and the aforementioned Phontigallo from Little Brother.

[NEW] Drake (ft. Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem) - "Forever"

Wow, three of the biggest rap superstars on 1 track? (No, not you Drake). It's only missing Jigga to complete the current Mt. Rushmore of Hip Hop royalty. So what happens when you put this many heavyweights on one track? The people go crazy. The internet has been talking about this one for the last few days, just waiting for a taste. And here it is. Let me give you some insight. Lil Wayne wanted to work with Eminem during the time he was recording for Relapse, but it never worked out. Em promised to give Weezy a collab after the fact, and that time is now. So Weezy pulled in Drake, and of course Kanye followed suit. This track is going to appear on Lebron James’ upcoming More Than A Game project dropping soon. And yes, Eminem kills this shit. No wonder he went last, because the song would have been over in 30 seconds if he went first.

Props to OnSmash and the whole NMC for the link and artwork.

[NEW] One Be Lo - "PIGS" (ft. Mike Posner)

True story: One Be Lo is one of my favorite emcees. Unfortuntely, there's a chance that you're not familiar with him. And that's a problem. This dude is a beast. And if you don't believe me, go cop his album S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M. for a lesson in rhyme spitting. And if that doesn't convince you, go back and cop Binary Star's Waterworld. And if that still doesn't convince you, then there's nothing else I can do for you and you're beyond help. Sorry.

Shawn Chrystopher - A City With No Seasons [Free Album]

A big congratulations to the homie Shawn Chrystopher are in order. His debut album, A City With No Seasons, is finally here for the world to hear. I know how much blood, sweat, a tears Shawn put into this album. Most rappers write rhymes, but Shawn wrote his life. I had a chance to get an advance screening of this album, and I'll say this...It might change the way you listen to Hip-Hop. But enough from me, I'll let Shawn tell it:

I’m a person who loves to take chances, loves tight-roping the line between genius and insanity; the artwork for my debut album is no different. I felt, in hip hop, we were playing things a little too safe with our album artwork, scared of the backlash we would get and ultimately not being true to ourselves. I’m here to change that. The A City With No Seasons artwork is inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat because his art was debated about the most on whether or not it is real art because it looks ‘elementary.’

I honestly believe that there is no such thing as wrong, or bad art; that is difference between art and math. If I say 2+2=5 I’m wrong, but because my lines aren’t straight and my coloring isn’t inside the lines my art isn’t art? Art is all about expressing yourself, and no one can ever say that you are expressing yourself incorrectly.

It’s ok to say you don’t understand; what’s not ok is to say that it’s wrong.

Also, be sure to watch his latest video for his intro song, "And I Present".

[NEW] Raekwon (ft. Ghostface, Method Man, Inspectah Deck) - "Flying Daggers" (prod by J Dilla)

Sound the sirens. Hide the women and children. The Wu is back! This joint is fire. Five legends on one song? It's disgusting. Dilla channeled his inner RZA on this one, and came with a classic Wu sounding beat. Deck set off the song with his best verse since "Triumph." Rae brings his classic mafioso drug dealer rap. Method Man brings comes with his usual top notch braggadocios word play. And Ghost manages to spit a hard ass verse while still mentioning every article of clothing in his closet.

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 drops September 8th. Yes, I'm officially excited.

[NEW] DJ Honda ft. Mos Def - "Magnetic Arts"

When DJ Honda and the Mighty Mos linked up for the first time with "Travelin Man" it was instant magic. That track stays in rotation, so when I heard they hit the studio together again I was geeked. My geekedness was not in vain either, this one is fire. Go!
