Dope beat and Prodigy's verse is proof that he's getting back to his old self in that booth! Slim does his thing - not a great verse in all honesty but he does have the voice, and if Dr.Dre and Snoop are executive producing his forthcoming 'War Music' street album he must have some fire in the pipelines...we'll find out November 8th! As P says, respect it or check it - listen to it now!
And talking about Prodigy, don't forget the new Mobb Deep 'Black Cocaine' EP is dropping November 21!
As you all SHOULD know and have in your collections by now, Mr.Slow Flow dropped his second full feature last week 'Cats & Dogs' and it's pure heat!! Most of the tracks are worth talking about really but I picked 'The Red Carpet' as it's one of best tracks on the album, hands down! Produced by The Alchemist and featuring Raekwon and Ras Kass, the beat is off the hook and the lyrics are what we expect them to be when delivered from real emcees...and good to hear Ras Kass hold his own next to E-V and Rae, two of the best in my opinion. Check out the banger right here.
And here is Evidence giving some background to the track:
Another rap gem from Rome, this time from our brothers Scala Reale - over 15 years deep in the game and still representing the real Hip Hop! The video below was made last year when the free download album 'D.O.C.' dropped (you can listen to it right here):
Keep an eye out for A LOT of new music dropping real soon!
A video from our manz Barracruda reppin' hard for the Hip Hop scene down in Rome - make sure you check out the clip and show some love! The video is off their first mixtape but they're dropping a new one very soon which will be available at www.barracruda.com (currently down for maintenance).
*Update*
The mixtape is finally out, 24 tracks of raw Roman rap! Download it now, it's free!
After a long Summer break, we're finally back! And to start off the Autumn easy, here's the latest offering from Kurupt off his upcoming 'Penagon Rydaz' mixtape.
Evidence has just put out a sampler for his upcoming album 'Cats & Dogs' and it's sounding phat!! The Weatherman LP was one of the dopest releases of 2007 and since then we've been patiently waiting for another solid offering from one of the best emcees out there!
Check out the album sampler right here, courtesy of SureShot Promotions.
And don't forget to check out the new clip 'Same Folks' featuring Fashawn:
Cool little interview from one of our favourite producers (courtesy of Montreality) talking about the new Slaughterhouse album, why Eminem's shows are on another level, and much more in just over 4 minutes. Expect a little sarcasm of course, in pure Alchemist style!
Nice footage of Jeezy's recent concert at the Highline Ballroom to celebrate the "Thug Motivation 101" 6th year anniversary. For info can be found on RealTalkNY.
