Combined Culture put together a music video that reinterprets Kendrick Lamar’s “Lust.”
“The [short] film revolves around the life of a stereotypical Black man. In him trying to do all of the things that are detrimental to him, he essentially writes his own death wish. Before he can make a change to his ways, it’s too late.”
Styles P makes up for lost time between projects by dropping a freestyle over Jay Rock’s “Elbows” with “Ghost Sick.”
And now, words from DJ Premier:
THIS SONG WAS PULLED FROM THE “JUVENILE HELL” LP AFTER THE WHOLE ICE-T “COP KILLER” SONG WAS SHOCKING THE WORLD SO MOBB DEEP’s LABEL 4TH & B’WAY REMOVED IT AS WELL…
SOME COPIES LEAKED BUT MOST DJ’s DON’T HAVE IT.
ME, PRODIGY AND HAVOC GOT PULLED OVER BY THE COPS IN 1993 AND THEY WERE ON SOME FOUL SHIT BUT WE WERE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITHOUT THEM FINDING OUT HOW DIRTY THE CAR WAS BACK THEN…
SO WE WROTE THIS SONG ABOUT IT…
HERE IT IS UNCUT…
WE ARE GONNA MISS YOU PRODIGY…(R.I.P.)
CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY…
THA JOINT: COP HELL
THA GROUP: MOBB DEEP
THA PRODUCER: DJ PREMIER
Royce 5’9″ has committed himself to the art of making a barrage of bangers after building a studio in his house. We’ve heard him go off on a number of instrumentals and now he’s gearing up for the release of “Bar Exam 4,” which drops today! Listen to “C. Delores” now as we await the release of the project.
It’s the return of the four headed monster. Royce 5’9″, Joell Ortiz, KXNG Crooked and Joe Budden are back with a new banger off of Royce’s upcoming “Bar Exam 4” mixtape. When’s the album coming? Hell, we don’t know. Just enjoy some new heat.
Westside Gunn & Conway go by their WCW aliases as Hall & Nash and drop off a VHS tape to Just Blaze. Hit play to hear their song that pays homage to their fallen friend “Machine Gun Black” and find out what’s on the tape.
Termanology slides through with the assist on South Bronx emcee Chris Content’s “Under Pressure.” But this isn’t just a Term showcase as Content holds his own as the two drops bars over Flip Jackson production.
With less than two weeks to go before MC Eiht drops Which Way Iz West the Cali legend continues to drop heat. “Got That” finds Eiht delivering the bars while Break Sinatra provides the beat and DJ Premier hits you with the ad libs and cuts. Are you ready for the album yet?
Dave East has been busy prepping Paranoia and drops the video for the appropriately titled “What Is the Hold Up” in the process. Certainly a different vibe than what you’re used to as East ditches the potent rhymes for something a little more breezy.
On the latest episode of Rhythm Roulette, Daringer braves the bins at NYC’s Academy Records to blindly pull three records at random and test his production skills. Best known for his work with Buffalo MCs–and recent Shady Records signees–Westside Gunn and Conway, Griselda Records’ in-house producer didn’t flinch when faced with the folk and disco selects. Instead, he calmly sparked one and, with blunt in hand plus a special guest MC in the booth, cut another wavy gem.
