Chino XL - "Father's Day"
Chino XL is one of the most underrated lyricists of all-time. He spits some of the illest punchlines you'll ever find. But this song has nothing to do with punchlines, this is some of the most personal shit you'll ever hear on record. Chino talks about his daughter's fight with cancer and shares the memories with vivid description. The first 2 verses and hook are filled with despair, but the song has a happy ending. Really incredible track from Chino.

Song of the Day
Busdriver - "Me-Time (With The Pulmonary Palimpsest)"
Went to see Aesop Rock & Rob Sonic last night (which was incredibly dope!) and Busdriver was the opening act. I hadn't heard any of his music before, but my brother described him as weird, cool, but weird. So this dude comes out on stage all by himself, no hype man, no DJ, just himself, a mic and an MPC player. And he put on a helluva show. Dude had crazy energy and his music was very eclectic. He wrecked it with this track, so I downloaded the recorded version and he really held up with the speed of his flow when he performed live. The second treat to this song is the video which I stumbled upon today. One of the best videos I've seen in a while. Enjoy!

Song of the Day
Joey Bada$$ feat. Smoke DZA & Big K.R.I.T. - "Underground Airplay"
This sounds like some straight 1995 shit. Bada$$ brought it back to the 90's with his 1999 mixtape. Now he enlists Smoke DZA and Big K.R.I.T. for some grimy street shit. All three come correct but it's K.R.I.T. that outshines the competition. Love hip-hop like this.

Demigodz - "Dead In The Middle"
I'm sorry, did you say you wanted more new Demigodz? I thought so. Here's the latest video. This album is going to be fire. March 5th, hurry up!

Song of the Day
Demigodz - "Summer Of Sam"
Meant to post this song last week, but went back and listened to it again today and it's just ridiculous. Demigodz Killmatic is set to drop on March 5 and I couldn't be more excited. Apathy kicks things off which is only fitting and every MC absolutely kills it on this track.

Aesop Rock - "Crows 1"
Going to see Aesop in concert on Friday. Can't wait for that shit. So in the meantime I went back and listened to Skelethon last week and forgot just how dope this song is. The production is terrific, the vocals that open the song are haunting and then of course Aesop just drops gem after gem. You need to sit and listen to absorb it all, but that's typical for an Aesop track.
