The Kid Daytona & Action Bronson “Ivory Coast Crime Scene”

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011

This song’s breath approaches and lightly fogs the golden chalace of rap perfection. An absolute inspiration.

Just so you guys know, Vinny Cha$e is futuristic as fuck. NYC is really starting to get its wave back. The Plaza is quite boss.

Further evidence follows.

VIDEO: Chase N. Cashe & Troy Ave “501 Basic Blues”

Sunday, November 13th, 2011

Chainlink Fence Rapz from Chase and Troy. Their EP is coming out soon. Troy Ave is one of the more slept on up and comming cocaine rappers out there right now. Check him out. Bricks In My Backpack is pretty sweet.

Jim Jones, Meek Mill & Fred Da Godson “I’ll Be Back”

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

I feel a moral obligation to let you all know that Jim Jone’s Vampire Life is absolutely stunning. Gay jerks who claim that Jim is anything other than an awesome rapper are the same geeks who used to smirk at Tony Yayo. The guy just makes great jamz. Pray IV Reign is pretty much a classic in my book, and Jimmy has done nothing but win since. His choices in production have been absolutely inspired. The addition of “Rrrrr” to his immense armory of adlibs has been a coup, making Capo the most underrated album by an established rapper of ’11 thus far. Imagining Max B crooning the choruses on Vampire Life makes my soul cry.

“I’ll Be BacK” isn’t the best example of Vamp Life’s sound, but Meek rips shit and this marks the first time I have ever listened to Fred Da Godson. Dude is disgusting looking, but his verse is cool.

A-Wax, Chinx Drugz & French Montana “Fly Pelican Fly”

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

Man, Fase raps well. I really like all three of these guys and really would love to see a Brick Squad/Ill Burn/Coke Boyz mixtape. Side note: Whenever I see Chinx Drugz’ name I can’t help but think of opium.

VIDEO: Agallah “Living In My Past”

Thursday, October 6th, 2011

I have a permanent soft spot for the Don Bishop. This new EP should be cool as long as Ag keep guys like Sean Price and Deck far, far away.

Coke Boys “5 O’Clock”

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

So I just popped open Coke Boys 2 and was pleasantly surprised to hear French and The Boyz aggitate water over this jamm. I suppose the K-Def remix may have been a little much to ask. Cool 90′s shit all over this tape.

BONUS: “Watchu Want”

EXTRA BONUS: “Uptown”

Ty Na$t continues to impress with the flow dominance that he exhibited on “Uptown”. Just a beautiful thing.
 
Check out “What That Foe” for further evidence:

Tony Yayo “Shot Caller”

Friday, August 5th, 2011

Lines like I kill my insecurities with jewelery have forever endeared Tony Yayo to my heart. Misunderstood, underestimated and unfairly maligned.

Tony Yayo & G-Unit “Haters”

Sunday, July 17th, 2011

Final version of the off-kilter jammie from the latest incarnation of G-Unit. I love the addition of P-Nutt, but how Shawty Lo still gets work while Fabo toils in twitter anonymity is beyond me. Yayo for Mayor.
