Statik Selektah & Termanology feat. Styles P-Tell Me Lies
More Statik Selektah-produced piff. This is off one of those tapes that Stat & Term threw together recently. The Styles feature is type ill as well, dukes really delivers & complements Term's braggadocio with some swag rapps of his own. You can't go too gully over a soul sample, come on b!

Kidz In The Hall-Wassup Jo
Off School Was My Hustle, actually a pretty dope tape with quite a few ill instrumentals. This definitely being one of them & these dudes rip it type proper. The whole revolution shit is corny, but this track is solid as a whole and surely worth a listen. Instrumental is majestic, I promise!

LA The Darkman-Lucci
Damn, I wish I could've held it down with LA The Darkman, just smoking buddha and playing Madden '97. That's the life! It's been a while since I've heard Heist Of The Century, but it still holds up as one of the great underground albums of that era. Dukes is far from just a Wu affiliate, I mean listen to this track, he made an anthem for everyone collecting greenbacks in the '98.

Oliver Nelson-Stolen Moments
I done been copped a bunch of jazz albums in the last few days, so I should be blessing my beloved readers with some more sax & horn in the near future. The first album I got into was Oliver Nelson's The Blues And The Abstract Truth. Definitely an interesting listen, and the first track sets an unbelievable expectation, but I felt like the rest of the album didn't really match up to Stolen Moments. Then again I've only heard the tape once so I'm not really qualified to say shit...
Either way, try and tell me this shit doesn't bop.

Tyler The Creator & Domo Genesis-Double Cheeseburgers
I really hate to jump on these guys' bandwagon, but I can't deny that these kids are consistently releasing ill material. This jawn particularly stood out to me cos of the simplistic beat & Domo's flow. Tyler's verse sounds a bit awkward at first, but he ends up delivering some clever witticisms & Domo's verse, although short, proves to be well dope.

Gang Starr-Take Two & Pass
Just so no one misses it, look at Primo in the back! This is the ultimate coolout jawn, I mean Guru just drops science on a '92 tip. I honestly don't like Daily Operation very much, but this jawn is truly one of the gems off that tape. Especially when Preem drops production like this...

Lord Finesse & DJ Mike Smooth-Praise The Lord
Ha, I've really put up way too many Finesse joints. But, I mean, dukes just legitimately crafted so much dope music that it's a disservice to not highlight it. This track is that classic Finesse flow & punchline rapps that just don't stop. And the production, you don't even have to ask...

They Rich Album Release
My dude Crust has been producing this group, They Rich, for a second now, and it looks like they're about to come out with an album. You can listen to their shit right here, some dope production & the flows are on point, on some true left-coast shit.
Anyway, if you're feeling that shit, feel free to go to their fundraiser page and drop a few shekels so they can put together an quality album release.

Elzhi feat. Fes Roc-The Science
I can honestly say that I have been slacking with this blog, on the real. I apologize for that.
Anyway, this is off The Preface from '08. Not to jock Elzhi (not like I have to, dudes rode this tape like none other in the summer of '08) but dukes really crafted something amazing in The Preface. So many standout jawns and the album as a whole is incredibly cohesive and flows very well from song-to-song. That said, El did get partially bodied by Fes Roc on this track, Fes kills it.

Re-Up Gang:Re-Up Intro
These We Got It 4 Cheap tapes got some serious shine when they came out, and still sound good to this day. Numerous gems on those tapes, but the crown jewel has to be this jawn. While it isn't as sentimentally provoking as other tracks in the Clipse discog, it's right up there with the ferocity of the punchlines and the rewind factor present throughout the entire track.

Tragedy Khadafi feat. Imam Thug-Lift Ya Glass
This is Trag on his mafia tip, dukes really slows his flow down & drops science alongside Imam Thug. Far from being NY gully rapp, this joint is that old new-age bragaddocio.

Devin The Dude-Doobie Ashtray
As a general rule, I try to stay away from almost all of Dev's material. I remember the expectations I set for Just Tryin' Ta Live, and that album completely disappointed me. This track definitely stood out though, and not only for the majestic Primo production. No one can really deny that Devin The Dude can record a dope hook, the rapping isn't really my thing, but this jawn is still tuff...

Common-Real People
There's a great comment on the youtube link I posted for this video, where a guy says that while 'Ye is type weak these days, he produced the living shit out of this track, and I mean you can't even disagree with that. This instrumental is majestic & Common Sense definitely comes correct as well.

Dela feat. J Sands-Live The Life (Original Mix)
Crazy to think that Dela just barely attached this jawn onto Changes Of Atmosphere. The illest jawn off the whole tape barely made it as a bonus! If you haven't heard that Dela tape yet, you are doing an extreme disservice to yourself and should make it an immediate priority to cop that shit. Unless you want to keep living a subpar existence...

This is off that Drama & Wayne Dedication tape. While I do feel a bit guilty for liking this jawn, it is some straight piff so I ain't feel too bad about it!!

Cormega-Love Is Love
Just Uncle Cormega bustin' on some learn from my mistakes type shit. On the real though, I don't think anyone can possibly clown on Mega. Dukes has always stayed real to making that gully shit & has never changed the formula. Sure his sound has evolved, but the rapps are still as gutter as ever. Not many dudes can make that claim.

Brother Ali-Star Quality
Ha, look at Ali on his KG shit. This is yet another jawn off Shadows On The Sun, filled with witty one-liners and metaphorical greatness. Production is type excellent as well.

Jedi Mind Tricks feat. Ras Kass-Rise Of The Machines
This track is kind of weird. I really can't say that Paz or Rassy come very tuff on this jawn, but Stoupe does deliver an interesting instrumental with some very dope samples on the hook.
