Saigon and Just Blaze reunite and reignite the Warning Shots mixtape series. Guaranteed all astute students of the game will be grabbing the tape after The Yardfather took home the purple-colored Raekwon trophy last year Read the rest of this entry »

Action may be the first and only cat I’ve ever heard use the word “baklava” in rap. Yet another reason why Flushing MC’s high on the “ones to watch” list for the rest of 2011. Read the rest of this entry »

Reks earned a commendable 3 Cigs for his Rhythm Eternal King Supreme project, but he’s taking his affliction with cancer sticks to dangerously high tar levels with ½ of the mighty Mash Out Posse. All tenured smokers have a love/hate relationship with their beloved nerve-calmer and the instigator by the name of nicotine always seems to persuade them to roll with the former.

It’s about that time Consequence hits the silver screen again and since the popcorn has been buttered, curtain has been lifted and ushers are on foot patrol, the show can go on with Movies On Demand 2. Looking to be a bigger box office draw than its predecessor, the sequel finds The Cons shooting drama scenes with XV and Bun, action segues with Talib Kweli and Kendrick Lamar and plenty Read the rest of this entry »

After he dropped that weird “Eep, Opp, Ork, Ah Ah” shirtless freestyle, the doubt on Sai’s sanity began gaining momentum. Well, The Yardfather is back to smack that negativity deep into Hell’s pits with yet another delayed visual. In Fall 08, he had teamed up with the toothless half of the Brownsvillain demolition crew to bring you a mash-up of gun talk and cautionary street tales, presumably for his then soon to be released album The Greatest Story Never Told.

Not much to say that hasn’t already been said about this.

All fans of Mr. Yancey and his music should quite enjoy this. Anyone who isn’t familiar or appreciative of Dilla’s work, should definitely download this and get some knowledge. Rootzilla is a beast at mixing and blending, and he did Dilla’s work justice with this one.

A sequel is on the way and the tracklist is after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

I hate to be so graphic but anytime you see Statik’s name, he usually has the meanest features on a track. Read the rest of this entry »
