[Album] KLAUS LAYER - "Restless Adventures"

German music connoisseur Klaus Layer is back with another plate of fresh instrumentals on Redefinition Records. Taking stamp in East Coast boom bap Klaus adds several layers of sounds to each track, combining live instrumentation and dusty samples in creating a unique musical experience that forms a cohessive whole. I'd go as far as saying that this is probably the producer's finest work yet, an album that comes highly recommended. Cop the LP @ RedefinitionRecords.com or grab the digital from Bandcamp.

LEWIS PARKER & EASTKOAST - "Bank Robbery"

Second single from Lewis Parker & Eastkoast's limited collaboration "MK:Ultra (Operation Hypnosis)" is called "Bank Robbery" and is a certified banger. The LP is limited to 300 copies while the instrumental edition only comes in 250 pressings so be sure to get your pre-orders on if you want this in your collection. Don't sleep on single #1 either, "Superior MC's".

KRS-ONE - "Late Night" (1993 Demo)

You know I'm a sucker for classic KRS-One and BDP so this demo called "Late Night" that Kenny Parker just unleashed is three minutes of pure boom bap gold. Produced by Parker this is an early take for a song they were developing for "Return Of The Boom Bap", one of the definite albums of the '90s. If you're looking for more classic Boogie Down shit, be sure to check out this full 50 minutes BDP performance from London, 1990.

[Video] DIAMOND D Ft. GRAND DADDY I.U. - "The Game"

More DITC for y'all as Diamond D drops the visuals to the Grand Daddy I.U. assisted single "The Game", taken from one of 2014's best albums - "The Diam Piece".

DJ EFN Ft. OC, Royce Da 5'9", Your Old Droog & Reks - "Revolutionary Rebel Music"

DJ EFN is dropping his full-length album "Another Time" on March 3, filled with sick US emcees like Inspectah Deck, MC Eiht, King Tee, Smif-N-Wessun, Killer Mike, Talib Kweli, McGruff, Ras Kass, Joell Ortiz, and many many more. Should definitely be one to look out for! The new single "Revolutionary Rebel Music" gives a good taste of what to expect, with EFN rounding up OC, Your Old Droog, Reks and Royce Da 5'9" to let loose over a hard hitting Buckwild banger. ILL!

[DVD RIP] GHOSTFACE KILLAH - "Live in NYC"

I saw Ghostface Killah perform live in Sweden back in 2008 and to this day it is one of the sickest, most energetic concerts I've attended. Backed up by his Theodore Unit mates he ripped through an unusally large chunk of his huge catalouge of classics, killing both Wu cuts as solo songs. A couple of years before I witnessed Starks mighty stage presence he released a concert from an undisclosed location in NYC on both CD, 2xLP and DVD through his own Stark Enterprises label. Recorded on October 9, 2005, the one hour set is a great watch and/or listen for any Ghostface fan - and if you're not into Ghost you're pretty damn suspect in my book. Ocassionally joined by GZA, Cappadonna, Killah Priest and his son Sun God, Ironman here works his way through classics such as "Holla", "Run", "Be This Way", "Mighty Healthy", "Criminology", "Nutmeg", "Apollo Kids", etc, etc. Many thanks goes out to BacoTV for making this available on YouTube for free streaming!

SLIMKID3 & DJ NU-MARK Ft. DIAMOND D & K-NATURAL - "King"

Check out the visuals to what's probably my favorite track off SlimKid3 and DJ Nu-Mark's short but sweet self-titled LP which dropped last year. "King" features guest verses from Diamond D and K-Natural, while the video is directed by Daniel Cordero. Order the album on vinyl, CD or Mp3 from Delicious Vinyl now.

DOMINGO Presents KRS-ONE / OMAR EPPS / SEAN P & RUSTE JUXX - A Taste of "Sessions N Lessons" LP

All of the great producers obviously have tons of incredible sessions that for one reason or never failed to make it into the public sphere. Many of these producers choose to hold on to them with white knuckles so to speak, which is unfortunate. In more recent years we have got to see some previously unknown music from legends like the D.I.T.C. brothers, Omniscence, Natural Elements, Mobb Deep and Masta Ace to name a handful. Domingo has often tried to make sure to put out previously unreleased gems to the people and we know that he's partaken in tons of sessions with some of the rap industries absolute top echelon. Good news then that on February 17 yet another compilation of this type of material is being unveiled in the form of "Sessions N Lessons". So far three singles have been released through Domingo's Soundcloud page. Up top you'll hear the previously unreleased KRS-One track "Look Into The Sky", recorded in 2001 for either "The Sneak Attack" (an album Domingo had a lot more to do with than the printed credits lets on) or "Spiritual Minded". Below you find embedded links to Omar Epps (then known as WolfPack's) 1995 jam "The Eyes Of God" and the knocking Sean Price / Ruste Juxx banger "All Time Great". The limited CD is now up for pre-order via IndieGoGo.com where it's revealed that other artists starring on the album includes Rakim, Channel Live, Kool G Rap and many more.

GHOSTFACE KILLAH / DOOM - "Ray Gun"

Ghostface Killah is not only one of the top emcees of all time but he's also undoubtedly one of the hardest working men in hip-hop. Since last month he has released his excellent solo album "36 Seasons", appeared on roughly half the tracks of Wu-Tang Clan's reunion LP, and prepared the second collaboration with Sheek Louch and a host of guest emcees from both camps under the Wu Block banner (that "Hidden Gems" album should've dropped this Tuesday but seems to have been pushed back - what's the deal?). As if that wasn't enough Tony Starks is already getting ready to drop yet another full-length project. Following his storytelling over live instrumentation projects with Adrian Younge and The Revelations, respectively, Starks now taps Canadian jazz trio BadBadNotGood to provide the backdrops. I'm not too familiar with the group save for some scattered tracks (including "Rivers of Blood" with Ghost, G Rap and Raekwon which they co-produced) and an interview in Bonafide, but what little I've heard sounds good and Ghost is notorious for picking ill sounds to rhyme over. "Sour Soul" is out via LEX Records on February 24, is completely produced by BBNG in collaboration with Frank Dukes, and sports guest features from Danny Brown, DOOM, eLzhi and Tree. Check out the new video for the DOOM assisted single "Ray Gun" up top.

[Album] COALMINE RECORDS Presents "Remineded: A Collection Of New & Old"

Coalmine Records has been releasing some great music the past couple of years which the label is celebrating with the compilation "Remineded" featuring new and old, remixes and all around ill shit. A lot of heavy names on here holding down microphones and production equipment, including Kool G Rap, Large Professor, Audible Doctor, Diamond D, Heltah Skeltah, Blu, Sean Price, Divided Soul, Billy Danze, Supernatural, and many more. The only thing that I'm a bit suprised about is the fact that there is only 10 tracks on it as I seem to recall early tracklists with 20 songs on it, but I'm probably getting it mixed up. Anyway, a lot of good stuff on this one so be sure to check it out. Available for digital purchase or free streaming, while two singles have been pressed up on 7" if you're looking for physical product. Cop it via iTunes, stream it from Soundcloud or below and grab the 7" singles from Fat Beats. 

MR. GREEN & MALIK B - "We Gonna Make It"

This should be pretty damn amazing! Producer Mr. Green and former The Roots spitter has teased us with some excellent singles during the past years but now their collaborative project, "Unpredictable", is finally soon to be unleashed on the world. The album is set to drop on February 25 via Enemy Soil who has previously released albums by Jedi Mind Tricks, Army of the Pharoahs and Vinnie Paz. Along with the cover artwork the duo also took to Okayplayer to premier the video to their new single "We Gonna Make It" which you see up top. Pre-order the album @ Amazon, JediMindTricks.com or iTunes now.

01. "Dolla Bill"
02. "Metal is Out" (Ft. Benefit)
03. "Crown of Thorns" (Ft. Skrewtape)
04. "What Can I Say"
05. "We Gonna Make It" (Ft. Nate Green)

13. "Fake Friends" [Bonus]

LARGE PRO - "Own World" (Ft. Fortune)

Another producer that pretty much never dissapoints is The Large Professor who is preparing another album this year, entitled "Re:Living". Not much has been revealed about the project as of yet, except for it to be released sometime this spring. "Own World" featuring Fortune is the second single (following "In The Scrolls") and features scratches by DJ Boogie Blind.

LEWIS PARKER & EASTKOAST - "Superior MC's" (Ft. Shabaam Sahdeeq & El Da Sensei)

Ever since I first heard Lewis Parker for the first time on Ghostface's "Fishscale" and "More Fish" albums in 2006 I've been constantly blown away by his work. For 2015 the London born Parker hooks up with NY emcee Eastkoast for a full-length project called "MK Ultra: Operation Hypnosis" available for pre-order via KingUnderground.com. The first single features Shabaam Sahdeeq and El Da Sensei and is fittingly given the title "Superior MC's". Powerful!

[Mixtape] JAY-Z - "Before Reasonable Doubt"

I sometimes get a few upset readers in the comments section everytime I post something by or about Jay-Z, but the fact is that I hold "Reasonable Doubt" and about half of "In My Lifetime, Vol. 1" in the highest regard as some of the most well crafted writing in hip-hop music of all time. Therefore I am always eager to hear other non album tracks, guest features and demos from this early peak of Jigg (who still to this day knows how to knock out a banger if you ask me). I myself put together a 16 track compilation of Hov's mid-'90s non-album joints called "The Pre-Trial" featuring his work with Original Flavor, DJ Clark Kent, Ski, Jaz-O, among other hard tunes a while back (unfortunately the link has been taken down, but I'm doing a re-up on it in the coming days, just need to get back a couple more songs that I've lost).

However, Mass Appeal very recently shared a new mixtape compilation of ten songs predating the release of "Reasonable Doubt", that I, at least for the bulk of it, never have heard before. This is an extreme treat for hip-hop heads and lyric gourmets, as this release contains a gold mine of classic, yet previously unheard, Jay-Z lyrics that calls out for extensive use of the rewind button all delivered over bass booming '90s New York bap. As you know Jay would later dumb down his content considerably, but in the early days his songs were made up of an extensive amount of lyrics with multiple meanings calling out for listeners to decipher. While a few of the songs on this tape, titled "Demo Tape - Before Reasonable Doubt" features songs in his pre-'95 hype style heard on jams like Big L's "Da Graveyard" (a style that never appealed to me tooo much), the majority of joints finds a Jay-Z whose lyrical delivery is somewhere in between the hyper and the calm mafioso persona finally heard on "R.D.". It's hard listing stand outs because this is most definitely something you can listen to from front to back many, many times if you're a fan of early Jigga Man but I was especially hyped for "Get Off My Dick",  the Clark Kent produced "Understand Me" (very dope track where Jigga takes a trip down memory lane, recounting his growing up in the streets of Marcy, interspersed with a sampled 2Pac hook), and "Broken English & Drug Sellin'" - all songs that almost sound like they could have been considered for inclusion on the classic debut in 1996. The only song that I feel to likely have been recorded after the fact is the closing song. Called "Behind The Ropes" listening to the DJ shouts it's obvious this is in fact a Sauce Money record featuring Jay. Sauce's first 12" single on Roc wasn't released until 1997 and though this is definitely earlier than "Against the Grain", it was probably recorded between "R.D." and that. It's a sick cut at any rate.

Calling this a demo tape however, does sound a bit silly considering this is definitely nothing that was compiled as a demo nor does it consist of material recorded in a few sessions as a unit. Rather this is a compilation of rare material predating the release of the album, but recorded after songs like the Jaz-O collaborations. Big Jaz is suspiciously absent from all material (perhaps he did produce some of the music though as there's no production credits, though both Ski and Clark Kent's fingerprints undoubtedly are on some of these), though early Jay-Z / Roc-A-Fella affiliate Sauce Money kicks it with Hov on no less than five songs. I always felt these two had a great chemistry and would have loved to see Sauce been the next big artist being pushed by Roc-A-Fella but it is what it is.

[Video] U-GOD Ft. GZA & SCOTTY WOTTY - "Heads Up"

After the failed adventure that was Soul Temple Records (RZA and Bob Power's label which signed and released dope artists and albums, but failed to ship them out for months) U-God is signing back to BabyGrande Records where he released his pretty damn sick "Dopium" LP. While currently working on his as of yet untitled fifth solo album, Babygrande is set to give his "Keynote Speaker" a more proper release. With that Uey and the label just dropped the official video for one of the LPs strongest cuts, "Heads Up" featuring GZA/Genius and Scotty Wotty. If you know you're Wu history it's a real special thing to hear the two latter on the same song. You can cop a digital copy from iTunes where you can also see the updated Babygrande cover art. Physical copies drop February 17.

Producer Bill Cosmiq is filling in the role El-P played on the debut, that of main producer, while guest features comes from U-God, MF DOOM, eLzhi, Artifacts, and more with a total of 19 songs.

[EP] RED PILL - "Learning to Punch"

Mello Music Group signee and Ugly Heroes member Red Pill lets loose a free, digital three track EP called "Learning to Punch" that's especially effective as an introduction to the emcee for those of us not too familiar with his past work. With boom bap-esque production by Oddisee, Apollo Brown, and Duke Westlake this one is certified. Enjoy!

DJ PREMIER Presents SKYZOO & TORAE - "Bars in the Booth #7"

Like I wrote a few posts down I haven't had a chance to update the blog or even use my laptop for more than a week, so a long with some new shit I'm also gonna post some tracks and videos that's just too dope not to get a run under the spotlight. One such joint is the 7th and latest entry in DJ Premier's terrific video freestyle series "Bars in the Booth", showcasing some of the most talented rhyme slingers of today getting busy over exclusive Preemo bangers. This time it's a double feature as both of The Barrell Brothers gets busy and does a damn good job. When the series reach higher numbers a compilation of all the installments so far will be mandatory for the phone.

MF GRIMM & DRASAR MONUMENTAL - "For Those Who Want To Label Us"

The final part of MF Grimm & Drasar Monumental's absolutely mindblowing "Good Morning Vietnam" is finally here and the closing chapter (subtitled "The Phoenix Program") might very well be the hardest hitting of the entire series. I personally hold it as the best album of 2014, perhaps tied with the very different but equally brilliant Souls Of Mischief / Adrian Younge LP, as it's not only extremely brilliant in its lyrics and performance or packs head knocking beats that both manages to preserve an old school esthetic while being completely original, but it's the inseparable combination of the two. As I just finally got my copy of both the CD and LP in the mail today you know I wanted to put out another word on this one. Anyone sleeping is truly missing out, and if you didn't know Vendetta is the label for those that want to label them!

Also check out the music video for the lead single "Glaciers Of Icex" right above in case you missed it back when it first hit the net. If you're not getting the title and how it's a clever play on both hip-hop and Vietnam related themes be sure to hit up Google for your answer, because they went deep with the research on these projects. I surely hope we will get to hear more music from these two humble brothers very soon... And again if you haven't purchased copies of these gems for yourself be sure to do so, because once they are gone they probably will be gone for good. Head over to VendettaVinylVietnam.com and support the real!

[Out Now] EASY MO BEE - "And You Don't Stop"

The strangely underrated super producer Easy Mo Bee, who has produced some of hip-hop's most memorable hits, and worked with everyone from 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G., The Genius, Big Punisher, Big Daddy Kane, Miles Davis, Public Enemy, LL Cool J, Wu-Tang Clan, Rakim, just to name a few, has just released a new album. Completely instrumental, "And You Don't Stop", is the second LP under Mo Bee's own name (following 2000:s "Now Or Never: Odyssey 2000)") and is another oddysey through vintage boom bap and classic hip-hop styles made up of 19 brand new cuts. To achieve the nitty gritty Mo Bee recorded the entirety of the album exclusively on three machines - the SP1200, an Akai S900 and its sister Akai S950. I haven't heard the album for myself yet but it does indeed sound very interesting  and the title track and first single seen and heard above is indeed promising. "And You Don't Stop" is available exclusively in digital format now through digital retailers via SLAMjamz Records. Hopefully a physical release will follow. Thanks to FortyGlock for the heads up on this one.

COP "AND YOU DON'T STOP" @ iTUNES

P.R. TERRORIST - "Mental Calisthetics"

Another new banger from one of the earliest and most talented Wu-Tang Killa Beez comes from P.R. Terrorist a.k.a. Dom Pachino from Killarmy. The single is called "Mental Calisthetics" and is the lead single from The Terrorist's upcoming new album, entirely produced by Bronze Nazareth, with an additional bonus track supplied by the almighty 4th Disciple. Sounds very interesting indeed!

[Sampler] KILLAH PRIEST - "Planet of the Gods"

I haven't been home for over a week, and when I left here I remembered to bring my laptop but I forgot my damn connection cord and my phone is a bitch writing long blog posts with, so I apologize for the lack of updates this past week but now I'm back in business and I got some good exclusive shit along with some great things that's been released since last that you may or may not have missed out on. Also I will be hitting back a lot of emails tonight as well, sorry for the late replays in advance. Wu-Tang Clan was my first true love of hip-hop music and every once in a while I find myself in a period where I revisit my large physical Wu-Tang catalouge almost exclusively for some time. Since the release of the Wu's latest, and probably last, group album - the underrated "A Better Tomorrow" (which with a 6.8/10 to 7/10 rating for me, I consider their weakest group LP yet, though that definitely don't make it a bad album in my humble opinion), I've found myself in one of these binge sessions overdosing a Wu so I got a lot of music from the group and affiliates, as well as an article which I think you will enjoy.

First out is Killah Priest which is preparing to follow up his close-to-masterpiece 2xCD "The Psychic World of Walter Reed" with a full-length collaboration with production team Godz Wrath entitled "Planet of the Gods". For those of y'all not in the know Godz Wrath is a fantastic clique of producers originating from the Netherlands and consisting of Jordan River Banks, MOD The Black Marvel, Ciph Barker and Dirty Needlz. Their current track record of collaborations with Killah Priest is absolutely mindblowing, creating many of his best songs from the last ten years or so. I'd say that no other producers at the moment have a better chemistry with Killah Priest, who happens to be one of my favorite emcees.They first worked together simultaneously on the Black Market Militia album and "The Offering", creating a total of ten songs between the two projects. More recently the team were also behind no less than sixteen songs of "PWOWR" between its members (mainly Ciph Barker and Jordan River Banks), including such brilliant songs as "The Document", "New Reality", "Shadow Landz", "Tonite We Ride" and "Love is Life". Needless to say a full album between these two strong hip-hop entitities is a match made in heaven and the four minutes sampler of the LP that Jordan River Banks recently uploaded to his Soundcloud account seem to support that claim. The album is set to drop within the next couple of months and can be pre-ordered using PayPal from here  ($20 dollar). We previously heard the lead single from the album with its accompanying video, "Body of Light".

In related news, another brand new Priest joint was just unleashed though it's unrelated to "Planet of the Gods". "True Killah B" is lifted from producer 730's new mixtape "WeGoin'In: The Mixtape Vol. 2" which also features new music form Junclassic, Agallah, Labba, Nutso, Lord Nez, Tribeca, and more. I'm not sure if the actual mixtape is out yet, I at least can't find it, but check out the Priest track below.

LD & Ariano - "Gotta Get Mine" (Ft. U-GOD & LMNO)

A lot of Wu stuff today, and I really can't complain since the release of the criminally underrated "A Better Tomorrow" I've been real heavy on my Wu shit. I don't know too much about LD and Ariano, but I believe that LD is the DJ/producer of the duo and I'm definitely feeling his jazzy heavy hitting beat for "Gotta Get Mine". U-God really came through on "A.B.T." and here's another solid verse that sounds great over this beat, while LMNO, the Kev Brown/Evidence affiliate does a good job as well. This track was originally released in 2008 but I believe it hasn't been made available on a full-length album until last years "The Singles"which you can check out via Spotify below.

LD & ARIANO - "THE SINGLES"

[Classic Clips] '91 RZA & GZA Freestyle @ Video Music Box

This is a REAL gem right here that was originally posted on Facebook a few days ago. This short freestyle session was recorded for the Video Music Box way back in 1991, when GZA was with Cold Chillin', Prince Rakeem was on Tommy Boy and Ason Unique was the beatbox king. The group was called All in Together Now though Rakeem is missing from this video this is definitely a breah of fresh air that needs to be seen by any Wu-Tang fanatic out there!

[Video] SHABAZZ PALACES - "Forerunner Foray"

The Seatlte-based experimental "hip hop" duo Shabazz Palaces is by far one of the most interesting music groups of this decade. Their second Sub Pop album "Lese Majesty" has been going warm over here and is by far one of the best albums of 2014, so it's great to see a new music video for another song from the LP. This time the visuals to emcee Ishmael Buttler and multi-instrumentalist Tendai "Baba" Maraire's joint happen to be the slamming cut "Forerunner Foray". Now zone out to this!

GRAND PUBA - "The More Things That Change"

Hell yes! I'm always up for new music by Grand Puba, the man behind one of the illest hip-hop albums ever recorded ("Reel to Reel", duh). This is a lyricist and a true veteran here, and listening to his new single "The More Things That Change" it's evident he hasn't lost a step. Now signed to BabyGrande, this is the title song of his new album, produced by PhD, which drops this spring. So be on the lookout, 'cus I know I will. Buy the single @ iTunes.

THE DIRTY SAMPLE / ROC MARCIANO - "Three Sixty Five"

The Dirty Sample is a rugged and raw producer who's been working on his fittingly titled "Raw Produce". Featuring the likes of Guilty Simpson, Moka Only, D-Sisive and most importantly Roc Marciano. The Roc featured cut "Three Sixty Five" is by far the illest cut on the free LP (the Guilty Simpson joint is fire too), so be sure to check it out up top and if you want to hear more from The Dirty Sample peep the full "Raw Produce" album below. Spotted @ 2DBZ.

[Shelved Classic] TEKITHA - "Wisdom Body EP"

LONE NINJA Ft. 9th PRINCE - "Hostile Territory"

<

This goes HARD. Emcee The Lone Ninja hooks up with RZA's younger brother 9th Prince and producer Mir The Bloody for this booming Wu-esque sound. The track is called "Hostile Territory" and goes harder than hard. TURN IT UP!

[Album] $AMHILL - "The Samhill Story" / "The Preface EP"

I first heard Bronx bomber $amhill on the P Brother's "The Gas Album" on the hardcore album closer "Don't Question Me". Now $samhill is back with a full-length album, repping that Bronx hardbody sound, going hard both on the street lyrics and the agressive bass heavy production. If you loved "The Gas Album" and the "Heavy Bronx Experience" EP:s you will fucking love this - hardcore hip-hop at its finest. Not only does $samhill deal with that ignorant street shit we all love and cherished, but he also touches upon deeper themes that goes on everyday in the rough neighborhoods of the poorer areas of America. All set of rugged agressive funk that'll definitely hae your head nodding and your feet tapping. My man CeitedMoFo from the Wu Corp forums put me on to this one, so massive props goes out to him, and everyone involed in this hardcore gem. Hardcore South Bronx beat, with dark, heavy bass melodies, wailing horns, tables turning, agressive lyrics and evven Nina Simone samples SOUTH BRONX STAND UP!

If you're a fan of $amhill this is your lucky day, and if you're not yet familiar with this hardcore South Bronx emcee you will definitely be one by the end of these day. The second free mixtape by the man is called "The Preface" and seems to be some sort of prelurde to an official album hopefuly coming soon. Well, I'm all for any new music by this hardcore gangster emcee so bring it on... So bring it on! This is actually an EP but it bangs hard nontheless - I recommend you listening to both projects back-to-back!
