New music from the Slaughterhouse member, with an Inspired use of a classic Snoop line for the hook. Crazy beat provided by Scram Jones, who’s been killing shit lately. From Crooked’s upcoming EP Mr. Big Face Weapon Waist. I’m glad to see rappers returning to the EP model that everyone from the Beatnuts to Pete & CL debuted with. Plus that title is fantastic.
In case you missed the trio the last time they were in the area (like me), around the release of Brooklynati, here is your chance to catch them. This time around they will be joined by the classic group Black Sheep. Wenesday they are at The Quarter in Baltimore & Thursday at LIV in DC.
Here is the blurb my dude Alex sent:
The fast-rising rap trio, Tanya Morgan, has teamed up with hip-hop pioneers, Black Sheep, for a pair of shows in the DMV(Oct. 7 in Baltimore and Oct. 8th in DC) to promote their sophomore album, Brooklynati.Already being called one of the best albums of 2009, Brooklynati, an ode to hip-hop’s heydayin the form of a utopian city, has garnered high praise from the likes of Billboard, Spin,XXL Magazine and Okayplayer.com for its classic blend of golden-era beats and thoughtful flows, which has oftenbeen likened to the 1990’s rap crew, Native Tongues, of which Black Sheep was a part.Now, joining forces with official Native Tongue family member Black Sheep, whose iconic hits “TheChoice is Yours (This or That)” and “Similak Child” are timeless symbols of hip-hop’s golden-era,Tanya Morgan continues to push the genre forward while bridging the gap between 2 decades of hip-hop.

I only peeped this because of Raekwon but damn, Yelawolf is a beast. The Alabama MC has an intense delivery and incorporates a lot of rock without succumbing to cheesy rap-rock syndrome.
Killer Mike called him “a hybrid of the Dungeon Family and Lynyrd Skynyrd.”
broken cool suggests he’s signed to a major. Expect to see a lot more of him soon.

East Coast trio The Midnight Specialists provide three verses of paranoid street rap over three different beats. It’s very trippy and it requires multiple listens. I rarely get anything this good from a random blast. Might have to kinda sorta check this album out when it drops.
We featured the live performance on Fallon, now the actual music video. Want the mp3? We got you too.

P and Buckshot link up over a 9th Wonder/Dan the Man thumper for the Black Dynamite soundtrack. Price kills this and those dialogue samples are a nice touch.
Black Dynamite is an affectionate tribute to classic Blaxploitation flicks that comes out later this month. Here’s the very awesome trailer.

Okay, so I had to push back my album 100 Proof (The Hangover) to February 2nd, so in the meantime I revamped the album and came up with this EP dropping digitally on December 1st.
Take your time, Mr. Selektah.
