Big L-139 Freestyle

Not to hate on L at all, but a lot of these "unreleased freestyles" are just verses that L probably already wrote for collabs or for Lifestylez ov Da Poor & Dangerous. Not like I know that this track is a definite freestyle, but I like how dukes stumbles a bit in places, I like how his flow sounds a tiny bit awkward, that's how you can tell the shit is authentic.

Skyzoo-The Beautiful Decay

This was Sky's single for The Salvation, and to be 1000% honest I didn't really feel this track when it came out. Prolly cos I hate on anything that earns shine, but when I hear this track now I realize it's some true piff. Not really indicative of The Salvation's mediocrity, but still a really dope joint.

Cam'ron-Leave You Alone

To me, this is that prototypical Cam shit. Just straight talking his shit over an incredibly simplistic beat. It's such a simple but understated formula.

Diamond D-Flow Joe Instrumental

What's fucking with Diamond D on the boards? If you actually think on it, Joe was blessed with his production throughout the 90's. No denying that dukes had adequate skills, but the producers he worked with could create a hall of fame all their own.

Paperwolf-1993

My main dude Evince aka Paperwolf finally dropped a tape for the masses, and it is an amazing listen. While it's EP length (5 tracks) & only like 10 minutes time, I can PROMISE you that in those 10 minutes some of the most heavenly sounds will grace your ears. Straight instrumentals.

This is my favorite track off the tape:



This is some other dope shit my man did:

The Paranorml-This Is Jazz

This is just an interlude/instrumental off an album by The Paranorml. Honestly some of the dopest shit that I've been bopping to lately. The whole album is worth copping cos it is supremely ill, but this track is one of the main gems.

The Find Issue 4


I don't usually does posts like this, but I thought I should bring some attention to the work of art that my dude Danny has been working on for over a year. He released the first few issues as free pdf's, but this issue took a lot more work and looks unbelievably dope.

The main post is here.
The preview vid is here:

9th Wonder feat. The Embassy, Skyzoo & Torae-Merchant Of Dreams

Why does this jawn feel so perfect? I mean, it's perfect, 9th with an amazing production & all the emcees rip it. You really can't ask for more.

Mos Def-Hip Hop

Just cos I been bumping Black On Both Sides to no end & it was between the Primo-produced Mathematics and this jawn. To be perfectly honest, Mos comes so fucking hungry and raw on this track that you can't deny the pure outpour of emotion.
This is one of those joints you have to listen to multiple times before you really begin to understand the many complexities and layers to what Mos is saying.

Heltah Skeltah feat. Vinia Mojica-Therapy

I've liked this track for a long-ass time, but it took the video for me to truly enjoy this jawn fully. The video is really interesting, and fully embraces the concept of Sean P as a therapist (not the most believable impersonation, but I can't front on dukes either). Dope track overall, I don't really like the hook, but I ain't complaining either..

Rashid Hadee-Pushers

This jawn is off that seminal Change Gon' Come tape that I done been raving about. I remember a few years back I used to have this whole tape burned to a cd & this tape got so much play, like I was reciting Big Pooh's adlibs word for word. Don't sleep on Hadee's recent shit, and definitely don't sleep on the classics he released in the past.

AZ-I Don't Give A Fuck

This is off the type ghey-ly titled 9 Lives. That punchline-heavy shit you've come to expect from Anthony on a straight belligerent tip.
Actually, to be perfectly honest, I didn't really like this track the first few times I heard it. Most of AZ's shit is straightforward like that, you either like it or are indifferent to it upon first listen. This track is different though, I feel like AZ tried a new sound, and while he didn't entirely master it, he still provided a good listen.

Slim Thug-Miss Mary

I ain't even going to act like it's not cliche or played or whatever to make a song dedicated to cannabis, cos it is. But Slim rips it & this instrumental is top-notch.

2Pac-Life Goes On

This is me in my Pac sentimental mood. Bumping Changes, Thugz Mansion, Dear Mama & Ghetto Gospel with no shame. On the real, this was always one of those tracks where I felt as though Pac's charisma came through in a major way, although somewhat subtly.
