Deltron 3030 - "Pay The Price"

Heads have been waiting for years and years again for new music from Deltron 3030, the super group consisting of The Automator, Kid Koala and of course Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, since they gave us their classic debut in 1999. Now things is finally starting to happening. Last year they contributed "The Agony" to the "Rock The Bells" mixtape, and today the first official single in more than a decade has been made available for streaming through Facebook; "Pay the Price"!

Oh No & Alchemist - "Rollin' Up"

The duo of Oh No and Alchemist, known as Gangrene, links back up for another sick collaboration. "Rollin' Up" is set to appear on Oh's forthcoming album "Disrupted Ads" which drops January 29. Other notable guests include Blu, Souls of Mischief, Georgia Anne Muldrow and many more. Pre-order @ FatBeats.

MadKem - "Hard Work"

MadKem's latest single, "Hard Work" produced by DroP Beats, is the lead single from the upcoming EP version of his "Kola La Vie" project. The extended play version will be available on February 19, while the full LP should be out this spring.

[EP] AUDIBLE DOCTOR - "The Winter Tape"

The Audible Doctor continues his impressive run with another free digital release. Titled "The Winter Tape", the selection presented here works as the first installment of what is to be four EP:s which I'm guessing will be season representative. I like the idea, and the music works on all levels. Enjoy and stay tuned for future releases in the series. Direct download @ MediaFire, stream below.

Joey Bada$$ - "Unorthodox" [prod. DJ Premier]

Joey Bada$$ is the first emcee to bring it on a Preem heater this year, and the result is as dope as one could hope. I wanted to wait til' the actual track dropped, so I didn't post it but there was a nice session video the week before or so . I have replaced the original radio rip with the official single in CDQ and with artwork, as so often when it comes to DJ Premier posts, many thaks to the DJPB for beig first in place as always!

Talib Kweli / Black Thought / Rah Digga - "Art Imitates Life"

Talib Kweli, Black Thought and Rah Digga all give inspired performances on this head nod inducing single from Kweli entitled "Art Imitates Life". Produced by Oh No, this is the stuff I wanna hear on "Prisoners of Consciousness". Download @ iTunes, listen below.

N.O.R.E. & Large Pro - "Built Pyramids"

Apparantly, Noreaga has changed his name to P.A.P.I., which stands for Power Always Proves Intelligence, and is set to release his new album "Student Of The Game" this year. While NORE is pretty hit or miss these days, this Large Professor produced/featuring single comes off as pretty damn ill. Definitely worth a listen!

SOUNDSCI - "Lyrical Beatdown"

The Soundsci crew returns with another knock out, after releasing one of the definite top runners of 2012 with their debut album. The group is currently preparing a new EP, called "The Ultimate" that hopefully will be available soon and "Lyrical Beatdown" is the first single from the project. Featuring heavy hitting rhymes from Oxygen, Audessey and U-George over a knocking Ollie Teeba production that picks up right where "Formula 99" left off. Powerful shit!
