KOOL KEITH Ft. RAH DIGGA - "Non Stop"

Kool Keith keeps dropping solid singles from his recently released DJ Junkas Louz 2xCD album, such as the incredible AG collaboration "Eldorado" we heard a while back (click here to listen). For the latest single "Non Stop" the veteran emcee hooks up with Rah Digga for an old school flavored jam that's sure to get some heads nodding. Below you can check out the non album Ray West remix of "Eldorado" that I forgot to post once it dropped. Pick up the 2xCD digipack @ UGHH or if you're a digital head, head over to iTunes to cop.

DA BEATMINERZ Ft. Tash & Rah Digga - "Sumthin'" [Remix]

Another Ill Adrenaline banger that was posted close to a month ago but totally flew over my head but deserves to be heard by anyone visitng Lost Tapes by anyone, like me, who haven't heard it before. I'm not sure when it was recorded but I'm guessing around '98/early '99 and with stellar performances from Rah Digga and Tash of Tha Liks and a hardcore Beatminerz beat this is essential listen for any true hip-hop head. This was released on a limited 7" single with a previously unreleased Black Starr's "Another World" remix on the flip. Copies are still available from the label for about $10 dollars so hurry up and buy while you still can, and TURN THAT FUCKER UP!!

RAH DIGGA - "New Hoes ("New Slaves" Freestyle)

New material from the former first lady of The Flipmode Squad is pretty much always worth checking for, from her Beatminerz, Preemo, Pete Rock, Nottz and Rockwilder blessed rugged '98 debut "Dirty Harriet" to her more recent "Classic" collaboration with producer Nottz, Rah has made a name of rhyming at least as ruff and agressive as her male counterparts. For her just releasedd "New Hoes" single she spits vintage Rah sent out to the lost young women of the world; set to KanYe West's recent single "New Slaves"; supplying a lyrically performance way  above 'Ye's head.

Rah Digga's "Never Back Down" featuring Nitty Scott MC hit the web last week, but it turns out that was in fact the remix. The original version, which is available now, not only has Digga going in but also comes packaged with slamming verses from Fashawn and Reks. The M-Phazes produced single, including both versions, are available on the iTunes single. It will also appear on the upcoming Coalmine Records compilation "Unearthed", out next year.
