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.

Joey Bada$$ - "Word Is Bond"
Brand spankin' new from Joey Bada$$. How new? Statik Selektah shared the link on Twitter within the last hour. Statik on the production as Bada$$ goes in for three verses. If this is what the Summer Knights EP is going to sound like, sign me up.

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!
