Revalation & Catalyst Killa Tape '09
I dropped a few leaks from this tape the other night, and got the full tape yesterday - wasn't at the PC until now, so take a peek into this new tape from Revalation & Catalyst, dropping some real Hip-Hop. Killa Tape features Praverb, EMS (M-Dot, Mayhem), Genevieve, Strick9, Tendency, as well as production from DJ DviousMindz, Kenshin, SV and more! Don't sleep - light up the grill one last time this weekend, fire up something fresh and zone out to this.

Twista "Birthday"
Enjoy the Fourth of July weekend. Don't get too crazy - or, if you do, don't get caught! One.
IV ft. Junclassic "Please Don't Go Away"
IV ft. Junclassic "Please Don't Go Away": Here's a sneak-peek of IV's Never Sleep instrumental project, which drops tomorrow (July 4th). IV gave it this title because "all of the beats were made between the hours of 10PM & 6AM", which makes perfect sense.Jun actually hopped on another track from this, entitled "EveryDay" - I'll hit you with a link to the full thing tomorrow; for now, check out this interview with IV.
The Michael Jackson Round-Up
When artists die, the 'Net goes into a tizzy. When Michael Jackson passed away last week, shit went CRAZY! I was away from a PC for the majority of the weekend, and my inbox has been flooded with all kinds of videos, MP3s and other content regarding the passing of the King Of Pop. Here's a cornucopia of tributes and other bits that I've gotten. I haven't listened to most of them, but figured they needed to get out...

Offshore Drilling CMJ Watch!
The Colorado Rap Report has, um, reported that Offshore Drilling (which is currently at 47,800 downloads on FrostWire alone) cracked the top 20 of the CMJ Hip-Hop Chart, placing at #19! If you remember, OD was in the mid-30s last week, so this is a crazy jump!
Lots of love and thanks to all the artists involved, the heads who posted, and those who are just discovering the project. Trust, we're in the lab cookin' up stuff for the next go-round...
EDIT Here's the issue placing Offshore Drilling at #19.
EDIT The Colorado Rap Report posted that OD is now at #17. When I see the CMJ article with it, I'll update. I also hear that WRRC 107.7 in Lawrenceville, NJ (aka Rider University) has a show that charted this. I live a stone's throw away from that college. Whomever dropped it there, get at me!
