EPMD - "Never Seen Before"
First single from 1997's "Back In Business." One of the best groups to ever do it, EPMD's reunion was certainly a welcome one. The Artifacts are reportedly working on a reunion album right now and Organized Konfusion have apparently worked on few new tracks. Nothing better than hip-hop's great duos getting back together for new music. Remix version in the video below.

Song of the Day
Wu-Tang Clan - "Method Man"
Staying with another old school song. Was out with my brother and the big Bubb Dogg last night and they were waxing nostalgic on Enter The 36 Chambers. Song's been in my head since. Got this on cassette single back in '93 as the b-side to "Protect Ya Neck." Which means I own the unedited version of "Protect Ya Neck."

Song of the Day
N.W.A. - "Straight Outta Compton"
In the mood for some old school hip-hop. This joint is timeless. No other explanation needed.

Song of the Day
Slaughterhouse feat. Dres - "Back On The Scene"
Love hearing Dres again, even if it's just for the hook. Freddie Blassie reference by Royce in the first verse, Manute Bol reference by Joe Budden in the fourth verse and Crooked dropping the "Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up" line in the second verse, good stuff. Slaughterhouse EP did not disappoint. Ortiz and Budden dropped some of my favorite songs in 2010, as did Crooked with his Hip-Hop Weekly Reloaded series. Glad they dropped another group effort.

Kid Cudi - "Mojo So Dope"
Nice laid back track from Mr. Rager. Cudi's 2nd album didn't live up to the first, but this was one of the better songs on there.

Song of the Day
Joell Ortiz - "Battle Cry"
In honor of Ortiz's new album Free Agent dropping yesterday, this one was featured on his Farewell To Summer EP that dropped last year and can be found on the new disc as well. This made my Best of 2010 list.

Song of the Day
Slaine - "The Worst"
Statik Selektah on the beat, Biggie sample for the hook, that'll work. On a side note, saw Slaine in "The Town" last night. While only a limited role, he held his own. Seemed like a natural on camera. Good flick too. So there you go, a double-dip as Slaine's "The Worst" is the song of the day and "The Town" is the movie of the day.
