Road Trip Rap…

Wednesday, November 14th, 2012

Roc Marciano’s ‘Reloaded’ is the kind of rap music you would listen to if you were making an overnight run from Harlem to Richmond. This CD is chock full of the interstate highway hustler’s after-hours anthems.

Roc Marci’s production is once again spartan yet sample driven. Roc wants you to her the engine purr, and by engine I mean his lyricism and flow. I’d like to see Rap Genius transcribe this man’s jams. Ha.

Get a feel for the music with this clip and copp the new Roc Marciano album. That move right there may not make you a rap genius, but at least you won’t be one of these rap dummies.

Tougher Colder Killer…

Thursday, November 1st, 2012

The Cancer 4 Cure album from El-P is still on the top of my list for 2012 because it’s so far out musically what you might expect a hardcore rap album to be. Plus I think El-P’s production also brings out a mean chamber from Killer Mike.

I put this clip together after the storm…

This cut from C4C features Killer Mike and DefJux enigma Despot. The best part of all this is that El-P hit me up and asked me what I would do with Tougher Colder if I had a budget?

Say word…

Brooklyn Is Timeless…

Can You clealy see the black hat in the middle of this shot?

How is Brooklyn always in the middle of some shit?

Even with Queens niggas?

Timeless Truth rocked hard in the heart of Brooklyn with their Lo-Life brethren. The brothers have been taking NYC by storm while Rock-It Science is mastered for release.

Timeless Truth is on the rise and you don’t want no problems with these guys, but y’all knew this already from the Memorex Massacre.
