Jay Electronica-My World

I wasn't really feeling this track when it first came out, but I've pulled a complete 180 since. I mean, the instrumental itself is pure fire, and Jay doing a direct tribute to Nas is that illness. And what's fucking with some Jackie Kennedy references?!?!?

Jay-Z feat. Beanie Siegel-Ignorant Shit

I remember when American Gangster leaked, I was feeling that shit top to bottom, but was especially infatuated with Ignorant Shit. Dudes just don't sample the Isley Brothers enough these days! Jay didn't perform particularly well or anything, in fact you could make an argument that he somewhat phoned in his verses, but he still just sounds so spectacular over this instrumental that it's well worth hearing (if you somehow haven't yet).

Kaydee and Chief feat. El Da Sensei-Creativity (Alternate Mix)

I honestly couldn't tell you too much history about this jawn or the album, Are The Groove, all I can tell is that Kaydee & Chief are part of the dope DMV scene. They drop some Funcrusher Plus-esque sounds and get an ill feature from da Sensei.

Dizzy Gillespie-Con Alma

RIP to the god. I let google do their tribute yesterday, here is my remembrance of the man today. To be 1000%, Dizzy Gillespie was probably one of my least listened to jazz artists when I started listening to all the greats. In the last year or two, dukes has become one of my all-time favorites. You can probably tell why...



***Not the same version, but somewhat similar I guess***

Fakts One feat. Planet Asia, Rasco & Shakes Da Mayor-Longevity

If you haven't yet copped Long Range, I encourage you to do so immediately. When I heard that Fakts One (beatsmith for The Perceptionists) released an album of his own, I wasn't very interested and almost didn't give it a fair shot. On the real, dukes doesn't have very many dope instrumentals for The Perceptionists, but he really produced some piff for his own album. Longevity is one of those type ill instrumentals, and Ras & Planet Asia are the emcees who just body it with their rhimes.

Dilated Peoples-Worst Comes To Worst

Is it too early to call this jawn a classic? I mean, shit's almost been around for a decade and is quite possibly the apex of Alc's production. Add that too a quality performance by Rakaa & Ev, and I think you've got one of the premier jawns in the extensive Dilated discog.
*This isn't directly upped off the Expansion Team LP, but rather some other EP in which the quality is infinitely better.

Pacewon & Mr. Green feat. Cymarshall Law, Kosha Dillz, & Marylou- Childhood

Although most people only remember Children Sing off this album, Pacewon and Mr. Green unveiled quite a few gems on The Only Color That Matters Is Green. This is a posse cut with some meh rappers, but the jawn still comes together very well as a whole. Mostly worth listening for Pace's rhimes & Mr. Green's well dope instrumental.

Sean Price-Violent

On my Jesus Price Supastar shit. I kind of feel like Sean P is one of those dudes who the blog heads were really feeling for a minute, and then they kind of fell out of love with dukes. I fall in and out of my listening to P as well, but once I get a listen of Kimbo Price over an ill instrumental he remains in the tape deck for weeks on end.

As for this jawn, P sums it up best, the beat is smooth and the rap is hard.
