Real T@lk ft. R.O.E. "Wordsworth"
Real T@lk ft. R.O.E. "Wordsworth" (prod. by Authentik Made): Here's a laidback banger from Peoria, IL's Real T@lk, taken from The Mo' Better Mixtape (props on that ill cover art - personal favorite flick). Another reason to help you niggas realize how fresh some of these unheard/unsigned cats really are. Hell, The Source recently featured Real T@lk, so its not really a game, nahmean?

David Guetta ft. Estelle "One Love (Shy FX Remix)"
David Guetta ft. Estelle "One Love (Shy FX Remix)": No, I'm honestly not sure who David Guetta is. And I had no idea this remix existed until Mista Jam tweeted about it. It's got a nice vibe to it - not my favorite flavor of DnB when I'm in that zone, but Shy FX is a seasoned vet who knows how to fatten up the mainstream-lean that Drum & Bass has lying around - and yes, he slows it down and flips it into some ill dubstep-y vibes towards the end. Really anthemic... although if you're looking for a deeper dubstep vibe, hit the Breakage remix below.

Elucid The Sub Bass Diet
Lemme find out Christmas came early. One of my favorite MCs, Elucid, has unleashed his 2009 opus, The Sub Bass Diet. I've been WAITING to grace RTD with this project, and I'm glad that the greenlight was turned on early.
We've been beating your skull in with Elucid's sublow excursions all year long, and I'm proud to champion his material. For so many of you who diss on MCs who don't stick to whatever cookie-cutter fantasies you imagine Hip-Hop to be, listen to this and then try and prove to me that Elucid doesn't have it. It's not just being in the pocket... it's saying something. "Whirlwind Thru Cities" is a perfect example of the hybrid Hip-Hop/EDM vibe, where those snappy snares are detuned and placed atop some wicked rumblings. Dubstep selections like "Laser Days" and "My Mayor Is A Billionaire (BBC)" follow Gutta's penchant for breaking down society's ills with his signature real nigga talk. The one gem I've been waiting to hit you heathens with is "Bad Dreamz", where he concocts a truly wicked dream (nightmare?) scenario over some murky dubstep excellence. Tracks like this, where homey's bars float effortlessly, make you wonder how these Grime and dubstep MCs sleep at night with some of their more juvenile artistry.
And don't get me started on "Which Way Is Up?"... this is one of the sleepers, trust!
I could go on and on about this, but you should really just download the full project and then thank Elucid for his work. He's a beacon of hope in this scene, and no matter how many times I say it, he's part of the growing ethos behind what I do at rock the dub. Catch up.

BPA & RTD Present J. Slikk The Drum Major III
I dropped the cover on you on Monday, and now Backpacker's Anonymous and rockthedub.com present J. Slikk's The Drum Major III. This compilation/mixtape features a selection of beats that have been leaked on this blog at some point, thrown aside some snippets and new jawns that are new to even me. Slikk is one of the more talented producers who is criminally slept on for no good reason by too many of you out there. Dude hails from Chitown, and is a cat who's sound is drenched the syrupy-smooth vibes of the mid-90s Hip-Hop era. I've had the privilege to get to know him and get his fresh music on a regular basis, and he has a lot of songs done that just need to be heard.
We're ringing the alarm.
Featured artists include Rashid Hadee, Junclassic, The Primeridian, Cy Yung, Indy Sparks, R.O.E., Rukus, Soulbrotha and others, as well as some sick remixes of tracks by Erykah Badu, Common, Katy Perry and Kanye West. Slikk does it all - dude is major with the drums, he's the drum major.
You even get to hear my voice on this... for good or ill. And no, I'm not rappin' lol.

This is the latest episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Jon Judah for the week of November 3, 2009 with some new and classic Hip-Hop & Soul Music, news and commentary.
Our commentary this week focused on commentary about the meaning & situation behind the firing of Philadelphia radio show host Charlamagne Tha God after his Beanie Sigel vs. Jay-Z interview segment in conjunction with how mainstream media in general does everything possible to keep folks working with them & beyond to stay ultra neutral on most everything along with some other things here and there.
We had an interview this week with Bronx, NY's talented independent Hip-Hop MC D. Dave (http://www.myspace.com/ddashdave).
We touched base on everything from how the music scene is in his home area of New York City, the "New" New York movement, his inspiriations, the importance of working with like minded others for success in business & other scenarios, upcoming music projects and other cool things.
There is a new episode of Black Agenda Report this week but no Direct EFX segment (did not receive before show recording).
Feel free to check out some recent episodes of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast here on BlackRadioIsBack.com - all of the shows are clean/radio friendly.

[video] Rihanna On GMA
YN got the ill TV Rip Game Proper:
And all the while, this nigga is confused. What's confusing, bro? You were a model nigga, and then you beat the fuck out of another individual - a woman. Of course people will think you're a piece of shit. Take those rose-tinted shades off, pussy. Own up to your shit and deal with it.
EDIT Here's part 2, via Miss Info:
Elucid "Then We Rage"
Elucid "Then We Rage" (prod. by DN3): In anticipation for next week's release of The Sub Bass Diet, Elucid let loose this fresh DN3-produced midnight snack. This sounds like an intergalactic war dance... niggas throw this on, and while you get caught in the funky riddim, they slice your head clean off with a light saber.
Enjoy.
[video] Gucci Mane ft. Usher "Spotlight"
This sounds like some shit Chris Brown is blasting while abusing a pop star:
Or it just sounds like a reach. Whatever it is, I don't believe it.

For a minute, he's been on some "yo khal, we need to put out this free shit", which I'm all about. I love his honesty and musicality, so yeah, RTD is game. Plus, he's BPA, so that's a no-brainer. Thing is, dude will be like... busy. Or gone. Then one day I'll get an e-mail like "yo here's the first leak for the EP". LOL. It's all gravy; A Pen. A Mic. A Dream. will drop on rockthedub.com in the near future, I'm sure of it, and when you hear it, it'll blow you away. ROE reps the Windy City (sup, Andrew?), and this cut features (and is produced by) fellow Chitown-bredren Chris Mathien. Love those pianos. Enjoy!
