Blu casually revealed on Twitter that Pete Rock sent him a batch of beats. Was this supposed to be a direct message? Did Blu pull an Anthony Weiner? Either way, grab the souled out stylings of Blu and Pete Rock below.

I’ve been fiending for more Spaceghostpurrp ever since I heard him lace ASAP Rocky on LiveLoveASAP. “Don’t Give A Damn (Miami Bass)” doesn’t disappoint — throwback Miami bass music with a sinister bent.

The Cure 2 is stream of consciousness drug peddling rap and Willie The Kid has some truly dazzling wordplay. Download the whole thing here and grab the keepers below.

Let me explain,
Nothing’s been new since Big Daddy Kane.

I love it when a rapper so succinctly shits on the whole game. Grab the mixtape below.

I remember informing a kid in my 7th grade gym class that Busta Rhymes could rap twenty words per second. I eventually grew out of the notion that rap was a contest of who could rap the fastest. But this “Rigamortus” remix… damn.

A.F.A.C (or Ain’t Fuckin Around Crew) makes the right move in recruiting PT PrimeTime for this punchy banger.

Though it’s not the hardest cut we’ve heard from Common’s gangster-tinged The Dreamer, The Believer, “Celebrate” is the best one yet. The cheery exterior belies a ignorant core and Common sounds more comfortable than he does on “Sweet” or “Ghetto Dreams” (listen to both after the break). And he raps better than he has in a long time. Good times.

Filed under awesome dream collaborations that no one seriously thought would ever happen. I’m still amazed that this actually exists.

Zomby’s 8-bit grooves are some of the few that I can get behind. The jumpy vocal samples on “Labyrinth” and the ominous, meandering “Trap Door” are high points. Also peep his awesome album Dedication from earlier this year.

Listen to Nothing here.

ScienZe and Melodi J. share a sultry duet where they tell both sides of a relationship’s steamy climax. It’s immodest but not over-the-top raunchy, relying on transparent euphemisms rather than porno terminology. Hip-hop doesn’t do subtle very often, so get your fill. “Perfect” appears ScienZe’s When Skies Fall, which is out now.
