Song of the Day

Reef The Lost Cauze - "Moonshine" prod. by Haj of Dumhi
I was ready to declare Action Bronson's "Strictly 4 My Jeeps" as Video of the Year, but Reef now has put his video in the race. This video is absolutely tremendous. Reef and Haj hang out on a porch in Philly, smoking cigarettes and drinking beer (big props to Reef for drinking Yuengling cans). Then the neighbors join bringing 40's, a grill and some Moonshine. Gotta love Haj's Manny Trillo jersey as well. The song is a banger and the video is a lot of fun to watch. And love that Reef ad-libs "Fuck the Celtics too."

Song of the Day

The Notorious B.I.G. - "Ten Crack Commandments"
It's Biggie's Birthday today. Wanted to celebrate with one of my favorite B.I.G. tracks of all-time. I was thinking about some of my favorite beats the other day and coming up with songs that are completely unique and this song was one that came to mind. DJ Premier's beat is so dope on this one and Biggie just absolutely destroys it lyrically. The Chuck D. sample is perfect as well. Happy Birthday Big!
