Another one from K. Sparks. If there’s one thing he has on lock, it’s beats. Last week’s track was produced by a guy out in Sweden and this one is laced by some guy from the Bronx called Fero Navi. Words from the man himself:
This record is laid back but still hits hard…I wanted to talk about issues in my community and still create a record that has a dope feel…Tina Quallo laced the hook and it’s a banger.

September 30th is a big day for hip-hop releases: Termanology, Heltah Skeltah, Murs and Large Professor! In anticipation of Term and Extra P’s albums, celebrate with some dope older tracks by both.
“How My Man Went Down In The Game” is a rare Main Source track, off of Wild Pitch Classics, a compilation of rare tracks and singles by the infamously corrupt label.
The Term track is off his 50 Bodies mixtape from 2007 (which recently got a sequel), and he kills a crazy Marley Marl beat, originally from Marley’s BBE album.
Brown Bag AllStars is a group comprised of four guys who work at Fat Beats; in what capacity, I’m not sure. Here’s a track off their mixtape which drops this Friday.
We gave you the tracklisting and the art for the album yesterday and today EL sent me the first single off A Major Minority.
Produced by Danksta.
We’ve been building it up a bit (we’ve probably featured dude enough to earn his own category), and finally the track listing and artwork for ML fam Black ELement’s debut are here. Catch us after the jump for a video of EL breaking down his album on

The latest installment in the Missing ELements series. Black tells you what it’s all about:
Ok I know i’ve been on the funny tip lately, but i had to hit ya’ll with this one. STDs can be pretty funny sometimes, when I made this track I thought of the South Park movie song “it’s easy MmmmKay. So I decided to make something for the kiddies if I was teaching Sex Ed.
There’s some goofing on T-Pain on this one, pretty damn funny.

Termanology had a little listening party for his album Politics as Usual at a trendy sneaker shop called Sole Food last night. I honestly couldn’t hear the album very well because the acoustics were so bad, but I did mingle with some of New York’s finest underground rappers.
Term was just as cool as he was when I hollered at him. He told me that he had a crazy party at his house last night and I asked him if he wanted to come play beer pong at my dorm after the listening party. He respectfully declined.
As more people showed up, I noticed Torae who had good news: his upcoming album with Marco Polo, Double Barrel, is finished. Other than that, Tor mostly kept to himself and flipped through a XXL. Donny Goines on the other hand was just like he appears in all of his videos: very forthcoming and talkative. Both dudes showed ML love.
Next, I talked to Statik Selektah who seemed to be having a great time. He also showed ML love and asked if I’d seen his new video. He had played some stuff off his album earlier including a dope Jadakiss track and a funny skit with The Madd Rapper. Before I left, I hit up Lil Fame who had the shiniest teeth I’d seen all night. You would never guess from talking to him that he’s such a good producer. I usually think of producers as wise men who flip through obscure records all day, but Lil Fame had no seriousness about him at all, just a regular guy.
If you were looking to hear more about the album, check Aaron’s account of Term’s earlier listening party.

Whenever I had a bad day as a kid, like any other child I would drift away into my own fantasy world where everything I wanted was available to me. I revisit that world of total freedom and no limits as a adult, where I’m in charge and there are no rules. If I was on a island and could take a few things…- Black ELement
