Well I actually managed to do one this friday, how bout that!
First up, The Teriyaki Boys – You Know What Time Is It?!?. Yeah, if you can’t guess by the track, DJ Premier laced this track for them. If you don’t know about these guys, they’re a japanese rap group. Their album is actually released by Def Jam over in Japan, with A Bathing Ape sponsoring them too. This is from their new album Chicken Or Beef? which was recently released in japan and features some pretty big names on production (just blaze, neptunes, dan the automator, cut chemist), so it might be worth checking out.
Next up is Talib Kweli – Fly That Knot (ft. MF Doom). So Kweli has a new mixtape that was just released called Right About Now. To me, there is nothing wack about this track. On point production (with scratches at the end!), kweli’s flow is on point, and doom actually comes off alright on it too. Make sure you check out the mixtape (some people are saying it’s better than his last two albums)…..
Skyzoo is a name you’re going to be hearing more of in the upcoming year. “Turn It Up” (prod. Khrysis) is from his latest mixtape, The City’s Favorite, which you should pick up wherever you can find it. The mixtape features production from some familiar names like 9th, Khrysis, Illmind, etc..
Got a new song for you guys from my partner in crime, Amen. This one is called “Go Crazy” and features production by Jah Freedom. Jah’s based out of Charlotte,NC and is quite the versatile beat maker. Everything these two do together comes out crazy, and it seems Amen is really able to swagger over jah’s beats. The bassline is crazy, the hook is crazy, the joint is dope period. Right-click and save-as on the link below to download…
The last joint is “Keep On” by Elzhi. You know Elzhi from Slum Village and his solo mixtape Witness My Growth. This is a new leak from LibidoSounds . Dope beat. Dope Concept. Dope song.
