Soul Assassins – Intermission (ft. RZA, Rev. William Burk, Planet Asia, B-Real).

Even though Intermission is a compilation album, some tracks only work in the context of the album’s austere vibe. These are three standout tracks that can stand on their own. Intermission is the Soul Assassins crew at their best, with dark, brooding, sometimes rock-influenced production (DJ Khalil and DJ Muggs..

Tona – Fast Pace (ft. Saukrates, T.R.A.C.K.S.).

On the Canadian side of things, here’s the second single off Direct Deposit, a collaboration between MC Tona and producer Lyve.
