When he’s not unwinding his trademark crime stories, Raekwon is contemplating his mortality. I scanned his yrics and found three specifications for the Chef’s funeral: 1.“Iron Maiden”, Ironman, 1997: You might get snowed on/when I go, bury me with velour on Rae considers a track suit to be appropriate burial..

DJ01 threatened to kill my dog if I didn’t snatch this from Mark Ronson’s Authentic Shit radio show last night. This song was mentioned in press releases and such, so I’m guessing it didn’t make the album because of sample clearance or something. Sean C. & LV talked to MTV..
(image) J. Rocc is the second DJ in two weeks to pay tribute to Michael Jackson, but unlike DJ Jazzy Jeff’s spectacular mixtape, J. Rocc’s project is equal parts Dilla and MJ. Calling this track a mashup isn’t doing it justice. J. Rocc didn’t just slap the “Butterflies” a capella..
Another great boom bap joint from J.J. Brown’s Connect the Dots, which drops November 10. Brown is performing twice on Tuesday in NYC; he has a free in-store at Best Buy on 23rd Street and an album release party at S.O.B.’s. Flyers for both after the jump. Download: J.J. Brown..

I’ve been checking for DJ K.O. since he demonstrated that he’s one of the few DJs who can make the compilation album format work. Last year’s Picture This was nothing but rhymes and soul samples — hardly groundbreaking, but a solid package of traditional hip-hop. “80’s Babies” is the latest..
Sounds like I need to start checking for Pill. On “Hear Somebody Comin,’” he laces a paranoid banger with creative, aggressive wordplay. I’m kind of embarrassed that the New York Times was up on Pill before me. Pill’s mixtape 4075: The Refill drops November 17. Download: Pill – Hear Somebody..
This is what it sounds like when three artists on the cutting edge of a genre get on a track together. SA-RA, the neo-soul trailblazers; Ta’Raach, Detroit’s slept-on heavy hitter; and Jay Electronica, hip-hop’s elusive folk hero. Download: SA-RA – Love Czars II (ft. Jay Electronica, Ta’Raach) via okayplayer And..
I haven’t been posting much lately, but this is so damn fire I had to share. Off Cunninlynguists’ Strange Journey Volume 2. Natti and Gibbs kill it over a dark, Organized Noize-soundalike beat. Fantastic cover too – I dunno if you heard, but Freddie likes his weed. Cunninlynguists – Imperial..
Bishop Lamont and Indef rap the entire song in faux southern accents. Shit is that fucking awesome. Mixtape drops November 20. Download: Bishop Lamont & Indef – Team America Fuck Yeah! (produced by Dready Beats) Indef via illRoots Sphere: Related Content
