Song of the Day

Statik Selektah ft. Action Bronson, Royce Da 5'9" & Black Thought - "The Imperial"
Statik's latest What Goes Around is really solid from start to finish. Statik incorporates a lot of jazz in the album to give it that vintage, glory days hip-hop sound. Obviously I was going to like this song with these 3 MCs all sharing the mic. And Action and Royce are both nice. But holy shit does Thought absolutely own this. This is the second year in a row where Black Thought has featured on a Statik Selektah project and brought the house down. I can listen to this verse over and over again. My favorite verse of the year so far, which would be Thought's second year in a row of delivering Verse of the Year for me. Damn, it's nice.
