Eternia – Foul Child.

I like everything about this track except the overly repetitive cuts on the hook. Aside from that, Eternia rips the track and provides some female boom bappery. which has always been a scarcity.

This song will appear on Eternia’s mixtape Get Caught Up, dropping on the 15th.

Raekwon & Method Man – Meth Vs. Chef Part 2 (produced by Mathematics).

(image)

There’s little point in comparing this to the original, but the title begs for comparison between Raekwon and Method Man. I’m going to hand it to Meth, who outdoes Rae in terms of flow, and originality.

Rap ain’t done shit for me lately.
It’s ass-backwards, this game tryna play me.
I bet this never happens to Jay-Z.

When I interviewed Method Man, I asked him a go-to hip-hop interview question: how do you restore hip-hop to its former glory? He answered, “what am I gon’ do now without looking like a disgruntled, sour grape ass rapper.”

But in those three lines, he succinctly summed up his frustrations with hip-hop in a dope rhyme without sounding like a “sour grape ass rapper.”

I presume this comes from the Method Man, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon collab album Wu Massacre which is scheduled to drop February 9. Considering those are three of the best rappers alive, I’m excited.

Mos Def – Supermagic, Video.

The visual effect is kind of annoying, but I love a one-shot video. The Ecstatic belongs on every best of the year list.

Bishop Lamont & Indef – Money on My Head.

I can’t seem to figure out Bishop and Indef’s beef with Tom Cruise, but I’m not complaining.

Team America Fuck Yeah! is the street album from West Coasters Bishop Lamont and Indef dropping on Christmas. On the album, the two assume international redneck crime-fighting alter-egos.

The inspiration for the album is Team America: World Police.

Bishop spits the pop culture-infused madness that we used to love Eminem for. This track is just as ignorant and wild as the title track.

Kidz in the Hall – The Professional Leisure Tour.

Here’s the new surprisingly solid EP from Kidz in the Hall, which according to okayplayer, they recorded last month while they were on tour. It’s 13 spare tracks, which is a lot for an EP. The EP features Naledge’s best performance yet and serves as a prelude to their album The Land of Make Believe, which drops March 9.

We reign all year round, from June to June/my raps bite immediately, if not soon

A stellar noir-styled video for one of my favourite songs of the year. Directed by Jimmy Giambrone.

We previously posted this album in June, appropriately enough. You can still cop it at that link.

Yelawolf – Good To Go (ft. Bun B).

It was only a matter of time before Yelawolf got Bun B on a track. Name an up and comer who hasn’t procured a Bun B feature.

Let it be known ML was down with Yelawolf early.

Triple C’s – Gangster Shit (ft. Game).

Here’s the video for the only listenable song on the Triple C’s album. Triple C’s is a group comprised of Rick Ross and his goon squad. This song has a cool West Coast vibe and a worthwhile Game verse and the video has some great action shots of Rawse’s beard.
