Sheek Louch – Party After 2, Video.

Sheek had to have some crossover joints on this album. What would be the point of a Def Jam deal otherwise? The Jeremih-assisted single isn’t the catastrophe you’d expect. Far from it, actually. Sheek’s long under-appreciated flow lends itself to this seductive record surprisingly well. I doubt Jadakiss and Styles..



Jackie Chain – Who Da Mane, Mixtape.

Alabama hip-hop hit the ground running this year. The main success story is Yelawolf, who landed an Interscope deal and has everyone awaiting his next move. But there’s another Alabama rapper with a major label deal and he’s even more of a black sheep than Yela: Jackie Chain, a towering..

Paul White – We Three Kings.

On behalf of the ML Jewry, merry Christmas. Of course Paul White’s foray into Christmas music wasn’t going to be of the heartwarming roasted chestnuts variety. Instead, the British producer flipped an OG Christmas carol (or so Wikipedia tells me) into a wintry, wayfaring beat with a tinker-toy feel. via..

Mr. Brady – Get Choze (ft. Diamond D, Blu).

West Coast rapper/producer Mr. Brady tried to bridge the generational gap between old and new by uniting Diamond D and Blu for a song. Diamond D should stick to making albums 18 years ago. Blu holds it down, though. Labor of Love is out now. Download: Mr. Brady – Get..

Untamed – Street Solid, Mixtape.

More Alabama heat. Track 6, “Pole Money,” samples “Maniac” from Flashdance (“She’s a maniac, maaaaaniac…”). Stop reading and download. Jackie Chain, Block Beattaz and other Bama regulars make appearances. Download: Untamed – Street Solid via IMNOTATOY Sphere: Related Content


Big K.R.I.T. – Moon & Stars (Remix) (ft. Curren$y, Killa Kyleon).

Curren$y and Killa Kyleon replace Devin the Dude on the remix to “Moon & Stars.” Blog rappers unite! This will appear on the GoodTalk vol.9 mixtape dropping December 21. Don’t forget the original and K.R.I.T. Wuz Here. Download: Big K.R.I.T. – Moon & Stars (Remix) (ft. Curren$y, Killa Kyleon) via..

Curly Castro – Wise (produced by Ta’raach).

Always great to hear from Detroit’s very slept on Ta’raach. Curly Castro tells the story of a modern day Tom Robinson, a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman, in a blistering 94-second verbal assault. “Wise” is the B-side from Curly Castro’s new single. The album Winston’s Appeal..
