The Wu-Tang Clan feat. Kool G. Rap - "Rivers of Blood"
The Man With The Iron Fists soundtrack is bringing us a lot of heat from the Wu and that's never a bad thing. This song goes hard. Raekwon goes first, then Ghostface and finally G. Rap, while U-God provides the hook in classic Wu style. The song has the kung-fu samples, the menacing beat and just a ton of heat lyrically. Give us another Wu-Tang album (which is rumored) and bring that old vintage Wu sound, please!

Song of the Day
Nas - "No Introduction"
It's been a while since I posted, but I'm not done with this site by a long shot. Went to the Heineken Red Star Access show in Philly on Saturday and was treated to all you can drink free Heineken, Wale performing with a live band and Q-Tip on the wheels of steel before the show and in between acts. The day couldn't be better and then Nas came out to perform a 45-minute set with every banger you can imagine. He opened with this track, which is the first track on his latest album, Life Is Good, which dropped this summer. If you ever get the chance to see Nas live, you gotta do it. Didn't disappoint in the slightest!

Song of the Day
Brother Ali feat. Dr. Cornel West - "Letter To My Countrymen"
Ali kicks off his latest album, Mourning In America and Dreaming In Color, with this track and it's the perfect way to kick off the disc. Ali speaks not only on the current state our country is in, but the world in general. It's deep, thought provoking shit and it's Ali at his finest. The production from Jake One is the perfect backdrop for Ali's lyrics as well. Ali has another winner with his latest disc and this is one of the many highlights. Love this line, "This is not a practice life/This is the big game, we gotta attack it right." Simple, but so effective.
