Curren$y & Stalley Jam With Javelin, Video.

For a little context, Javelin are a Brooklyn based hip-hop instrumental group that makes incredible summery jams out of samples and keyboards. Their self-released album Jamz & Jemz is one of the best things I’ve heard all year. This video captures Ohio rapper Stalley and ML-fave Curren$y rocking over the..

Homeboy Sandman – Angels With Dirty Faces (produced by J57).

Homeboy Sandman’s elegy for the homeless is an emotional powerhouse. Something harsh to think about on Thanksgiving. Download: Homeboy Sandman – Angels With Dirty Faces (produced by J57) Bonus: Homeboy Sandman – A Sacred Place (AtManAnDa Learns Magick) (produced by R. Thentic) off AtManAnDa Volume 1 (As Above So Below)..

Obie Trice – I Am (produced by MoSS).

I wasn’t expecting much from Obie Trice’s post-Shady Records opus, but Special Reserve is his best work yet. MoSS’ production suits him very well, random as their collaboration is. Ex-major label rappers usually fizzle, but it sounds like Obie found a comfortable niche. Download: Obie Trice – I am (produced..

Terrace Martin – Hip-Hop (ft. Kurupt, Bad Lucc, Nico).

Here’s the second leak from The Demo (get the first here). Terrace Martin continues to raise the bar. Crazy dope how he backs up the vocals with a backup singer. Download: Terrace Martin – Hip-Hop (ft. Kurupt, Bad Lucc, Nico) via Xclusives Zone Sphere: Related Content


All Star – Homies.

All Star is an emcee out of Nashville who’s been stranded on Cash Money for ages – but I’m ignorant and haven’t been paying attention to how much praise he’s been getting. “Homies” is a heartfelt dedication to the friends who supported him while he was stranded in industry limbo...

Danny! – Where Is Danny?

Danny!’s new album is FREE! Danny! is what Charles Hamilton would sound like if he didn’t suck. Playful, sharp rhymes over slightly left-field production. You have no excuse not to download it since it’s FREE! Download: Danny! – Where Is Danny? Sphere: Related Content


Slaughterhouse – Microphone, Video.

Director John Colombo did his best to explain the bizarre (and totally awesome) video for one of the best tracks off Slaughterhouse. Read our review and grab the audio here. via rock the dub Sphere: Related Content

Wale – Beast (produced by 9th Wonder).

(image) Wale condemns gold-digging women on this 9th Wonder-produced gem. Mr. Folarin has a knack for exploring relationship issues without being a cornball R&B rapper. Sucks that this wasn’t on Attention Deficit. Download: Wale – Beast (produced by 9th Wonder) via 9th Wonder Bonus: Wale – The Manipulation (produced by..
