DJ Deadeye – Wild Puerto Ricans (ft. Tony Touch, Termanology & Ea$y Money).

A light switched on in my brain when I saw this track, because Termanology actually told us about it back in August. At the time, he said Joell Ortiz would be on it, but I guess his verse got lost in the mail. The song is worth the wait; as..

Paul C. Lives, Vol. 2.

Let’s give hip-hop pioneer Paul C (learn something) the same posthumous respect and admiration that we give Dilla (minus the erroneous production credits). Hosted by Prince Po, Paul C. Lives, Vol. 2 is a compilation of mostly non-album cuts produced by the late great Paul C. Let’s make ‘Paul C..

Since we’ve been slacking on the weekly The Real installments lately, I’ve placed all the ones we’ve missed after the jump. AND a blooper real: The Maguire via 2dopeboyz (more…) Sphere: Related Content

Naledge – Look At Them Hips (Remix) (ft. Bun B, Curren$y, D.O.E Boy).

Naledge of Kidz in the Hall is emptying his vault of solo material with his upcoming mixtape Chicago Picasso. For this remix (original here), he brings out Bun B and Curren$y, both of whom flow perfectly over the distinctly southern beat. I wish there were more beats like this on..

Kid Cudi – Mr. Solo Dolo.

(image source) Kid Cudi’s drum-less, sluggish “Mr. Solo Dolo” takes a few listens to fully digest. Cudi threw a monkey wrench at our expectations with this one. If “Mr. Solo Dolo” is any indication, Man on the Moon: The End of Day will not be a standard pop rap album...

Clipse – I’m Good (ft. Pharrell) (produced by The Neptunes).

The official single off Til The Casket Drops, “I’m Good,” has the brothers Thorton back in their comfort zone over a traditional Neptunes beat. As with “Kinda Like A Big Deal,” “I’m Good” is straight brag rap, but less aggressive and more club-friendly. I was apprehensive when I heard the..

Lee Bannon – A New Song (ft. S.O.L., Torae, Reks, Superstah Snuk).

This song has that classic 90s posse cut feel; hard verses with a boom bap beat to match. Off Sacramento producer Lee Bannon’s Me & Marvin mixtape, which will sample Marvin Gaye on every song. Sounds good to me! Download: Lee Bannon – A New Song (ft. S.O.L., Torae, Reks,..

Mos Def – Roses (ft. Georgia Anne Muldrow).

As it turns out, “Roses” was originally a Georgia Anne Muldrow (neosoul singer singed to Stones Throw) song for her upcoming album Umsindo, but after the guys from Frolab played it for Mos Def, he had to have it for himself. The song fits in perfectly on The Ecstatic, which..
