Song of the Day

Black Moon feat. Smif N Wessun - "Black Smif N Wessun"
Had my iTunes on shuffle and this shit just came on. I haven't heard this song in years. It's so fuckin' nice. I found myself rhyming right along with Buckshot on the second verse and had to share this song with y'all immediately. This is classic hip-hop in its purest form.

Song of the Day

Statik Selektah feat. Action Bronson, Joey Bada$$ & Mike Posner - "The Spark"
The last two Song of the Day picks come from Statik Selektah's Extended Play, but I can't help it. These joints are so dope. Action Bronson and Joey Bada$$ teamed earlier this year on "B.A.R.d" which was fantastic and now they're back at it for Statik's latest project which drops tomorrow. The beat is nice and Action and Bada$$ both flex their lyrical muscle on this one.

Song of the Day

Statik Selektah feat. Raekwon, Joey Bada$$ & Black Thought "Bird's Eye View"
Statik's latest, Extended Play, drops on June 18, the same day as Kanye and J. Cole. I'm liking the tracklist for the album so I'm sure it'll be dope. But this track is on another level. The beat is good, Raekwon and Joey both bring some heat but Black Thought just proved once again that he is one of the greatest to ever do it. Seriously, this dude never gets mentioned with the all-time great MCs, but if you need proof just listen to him absolutely rip this track to pieces. It's pure heat.

New Release Tuesday

Action Bronson is back and this time you gotta pay for his project. Can't really complain considering his last few projects have been free and filled with better quality music than most albums found in retailers. The new project, "Saab Stories" is a 7 song EP produced entirely by Harry Fraud. You can download it on iTunes for $5.99 and really, why wouldn't you?! 

Wow, that was like an advertisement. Regardless, if you haven't heard "Strictly 4 My Jeeps" yet, go YouTube the video and you'll see the dope shit Bronson brings on this project. Also gotta love "The Rockers" featuring Wiz Khalifa as Bronson spits about Marty Jannety on the hook.

Song of the Day

Prodigy feat. Havoc & Raekwon - "R.I.P."
Mobb Deep never needed production help with Havoc being one of the all-time greats, but when they have handed the production responsibilities over to someone else they've always had the best results with Alchemist. Al brings it again here as Prodigy, Havoc and Raekwon go in over a raw beat. This is really dope. Makes me remember The Infamous and that's never a bad thing.

Song of the Day

Action Bronson feat. LL Cool J & Lloyd Banks - "Strictly 4 My Jeeps (Remix)"
Damn, LL came hard as hell! Haven't heard anything nice from him in a long time. Bronson of course comes correct and Banks more than holds his own. The beat is nasty. This reminds me of a mid-90's remix. Love the shit outta this track.
