Ja Rule drinks Tiger Bone with NORE, Video.

The production values are…lets just say lacking even for a flipcam youtube video. I’m posting this regardless of that, because Ja Rule’s experience is something Knobbz can relate to.  Lost in the Tiger Boneness of the video, is the fact that Ja Rule mentions his next monster project, is he referring to this?

Torae & Marco Polo – But Wait (Off Double Barrel).

The last couple of weeks, I’ve really been slacking, real world shit was kicking my ass. But, as you can by today’s chock full of posts, I’m back better than ever. With that said, let me put you in the loop regarding the upcoming project from ML homie (and wheat grass aficionado) Marco Polo and Torae called Double Barrel.

Today they unleashed a monster track of DB called But Wait (Knobbz called it his favorite Torae song after a listen), check it:

The past few weeks they have been slowly slipping out material, here’s what you may have missed:

Torae talk about Double Barrel Tuesdays (be sure to admire Marco’s camera work):

Flu (Blu and Flying Lotus) – GNGBNG (Re.me.mix).

Flying Lotus + Blu = Flu. Underground Cali’s premier MC and producer team up for some other other shit. Blu spits crazy as always and the beat is hectic. It’s way over-produced, but in a good way. I’m looking forward to the album these two are working on together. (I was going to make a joke about ‘catching the flu’ but I reconsidered. Looks like I did it anyway.)

Download: Flu – GNGBNG (Re.me.mix)
Bonus: Finale – Paid Tribute (produced by Flying Lotus)

Bishop Lamont – Friends (produced by Hi-Tek).

On Sunday, a rumor surfaced that Bishop Lamont had been dropped from Aftermath Records. The rumor was debunked by Bishop himself hours later, only to be “confirmed” once again today by a snippy little post on RapRadar. At this point, I don’t know what to believe. ML is waiting for an official comment from a weed carrier with ties to the label. Regardless, news is boring. Here’s the untagged version of Bishop’s track with Hi-Tek which I believe first appeared on the recent Loud.com mixtape.

Bonus: Termanology – In The Streets (ft. Lil’ Fame) (produced by Hi-Tek)

Chiddy Bang X MGMT – Kids.

“somebody tell Roth I don’t love college”

You are probably wondering who these dudes are, as chances you are like me and you haven’t heard of this Philly group before, but if you don’t listen to this, you lose. This isn’t a Jim Jones jack move, they remix/sample the og monster MGMT track to impressive results.

Diddy’s P TwittyTV with The Lox (Jadakiss, Styles P, Sheek Louch), Video.

We’ve been slacking on posting the P TwittyTV episodes (shit is already on 25?!), but letting this one slide would be criminal.

The Jadakiss laugh NEVER gets old, we can listen to it on loop for days. LOL at Sheek not having a twitter to shout out. You KNOW he’s getting one by the end of the week, so keep your eyes peeled internets.

Catch up on all of the ones we didn’t post over at youtube. The Last Kiss is in stores tomorrow.

Blu & Exile – LoveLine(s),DedicatedToLastFe’vrier.

Blu flows over “Love Line” off Exile’s instrumental album Radio. If you heard anything off Blu’s HerFavoriteColor mixtape, you’ll have a feel for the vibe off this one: effortless, rambling rhymes, a mellow, jazz-tinged beat.

Exile mentioned in an interview a few months back that Blu had been recording versions of several Radio tracks, so perhaps we can look forward to a mixtape of some sort.
