Double Barrel is the antithesis of all the happy-go-lucky hip-hop you hear today. “Combat Drills” is the iTunes bonus track and the b-side on the 12”. Download: Marco Polo & Torae – Combat Drills Also, Marco demonstrates how he makes a beat. via OnSMASH Sphere: Related Content

From dropping last year’s best mixtape, to cavorting with Alex Ovechkin and ML’s very own DJ01 at a Washington Capitals game, Wale has been overdue for a conversation with ML. The DC rapper turned MVP touches on his relevance to hip-hop, progress on his upcoming album Attention Deficit, the status..
Jay-Z makes several bold statements on “D.OA. (Death of Auto-Tune).” He denounces Auto-Tune and talks about robbing people for their chains, Bloods and Crips and “assault with a deadly weapon.” He knocks Z100 and shouts out Mister Cee and Funkmaster Flex. Also, the beat doesn’t contain a Santogold sample. Jay-Z..
The funky, raunchy “Cream In Ya Panties” is only the tip of the iceberg. BlaQKout shot above and beyond my expectations with consistency on the mic from Kurupt and pitch-shifting, Travel-Channel-sampling madness from DJ Quik. I need to dig through Quik’s past production credits now. BlaQKout comes out this Tuesday...
Funny they should leak this song now, I’ve been listening to it all week. Tanya Morgan’s sound is hard to classify; they’re lively and feel-good, but not pop. Catch them this Friday at Humphrey Lefty’s when they open for Hardcore Gentlemen. Download: Tanya Morgan – Bang & Boogie via RubyHornet..
I still don’t fully understand what this album is or where it came from, but from what I can gather, it’s a Wu-Tang Clan compilation that features some new tracks. On this track, Ghostface, AZ and Inspectah Deck link up with a band called The Revelations. All three hold it..

Aside from his role in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, I’ve never been a big fan of Mos Def, but I’m feeling his newest album The Ecstatic — production-wise at least. These are two of the best songs on there. “Auditorium” has an elegant, dark Madlib beat and “Twilight..
My other passion in life is video games. E3 (the Electronic Entertainment Expo) takes place this week in Los Angeles which means video game companies are making major announcements. The most fun part of game announcements (aside from actually playing said games) is the shiny new trailers. AaronM gave you..
We tend to forget about remixes, which is a shame because, as AaronM’s Remix Tuesdays will show you, there are a lot of great tracks that get swept under the rug. I usually disregard compilations of old tracks, but I can make an exception for this project. Dillanthology 2: Dilla’s..
