For the latest single from his recently released "Marvels Team Up" project, Q-Unique links up with Torae and PumpkinHead for the hardboiled message driven "What Can I Do?". The tough beat of the song is constructed by Sicknature of Snowgoons and works wonders for the trio of spitters. "Marvels Team Up" is available in digital format from the usual suspects like iTunes. Also check out the previous singles "New York Summer Time" and "Carpenter of Life" and visit Q's official site for more music.

I'm a bit torn about The German production team The Snowgoons, as they had released some really dope music over the years, but at other times they have been responsible for repetitive, uninspired music that I wouldn't even consider giving a second play. Most recently they released their fully produced PMD vehicle featuring Sean Strange that for me stands as one of the most dissapointing releases of 2013. However I did like parts of their "Black Snow" compilation and their "Sparta" album for M.O.P. (though in the Brownsville duo's extended catalouge it stands as theír most uninteresting release to date).
Now the team is releasing the second installment in their "Black Snow" series, featuring powerful American emcees such as Billy Danze, Ill Bill, Demigodz, Styles P, Reef The Lost Cause, Onyx, Dilated¨s Rakaa, Papoose, Kool G Rap, Nature, Raekwon, Tech 9ine, Akrobatik, Crooked I, Virtuoso, Rasco, and many more. Q-Unique of The Arsonists (the second track of him I post of him here today) is featured on the solo song "Fast Food Nation", while "Still Real & Raw" (which is a sequel to the Snowgoons remix of M-Dot's "The Real & The Raw" featuring Jaysaun) again featuring Jaysaun, M-Dot and Detroit's Joruanlist 103 of The Left. You can hear both tracks below in wait for the official release date of January 21, 2014 and pre-order the CD or 2xLP set of "Black Snow 2" @ UGHH.
Q-Unique of the mighty The Arsonists is getting ready for his next project, which might very well be a full-length collaboration with Pumpkinhead (who know simply goes by PH)... But then again maybe not. The single just released is a collaboration between the two called "Gatekeepers" and has a real fresh sound, not only courtesy of Q and PH's vocal skills but also due to the immaculate production work and cuts by the reliable DJ Supa Dave (strangely enough not to be confused with the frequent De La collaborator Supa Dave West), known for lacing four stand outs on G Rap's highly underrated "Riches, Royalty & Respect". Stay tuned for more info about this possible project as the eventual news unfold.
