SCARFACE – TINY DESK CONCERT [VIDEO]

The world “legend” is often thrown around a little too liberally. But Scarface falls right into that category reserved for the finest Hip Hop has ever had. You should go out of your way to watch the greatness of this Tiny Desk Concert that NPR has gone as far as to say it may be the best one ever. Backed by fellow legends Mike Dean and The Backyard Band, Scarface delivers an absolutely stellar 30 minute set filled with classics like “I Seen A Man Die” and “Mind Playing Tricks on Me” over live instrumentation.

SMOKE DZA FEAT. BENNY THE BUTCHER & BLACK THOUGHT – DRUG TRADE 2 (PRODUCED BY FLYING LOTUS)

Earlier this year, Smoke DZA teamed up with Flying Lotus for the Flying Objects project. With More Flying Objects right around the corner, DZA cuts loose his collaboration with Benny the Butcher and Black Thought titled “Drug Trade 2.” The original song just featured Black Thought but the addition of Benny is worthy of another release.
