Jonny Walker Chemical Food

We're proud to announce the release of Jonny Walker's Chemical Food, the brand new project for 2010 and beyond. With 20 tracks, there's sure to be something to suit anyone?s taste. Most interestingly the album touches on a number of social issues, and shows that Jonny has more on his mind than most rappers in the game today. But most importantly the message behind Chemical Food is to be aware of the world you live in.

CapricornOne's Elucid asked 5846 Films to flip a video for their "Skull Crusher" remix. Definitely not for the weak of stomach, but it's so ill:

Deal - The Villain The DTV Beat MP3

In what could be the final installment in Deal's "Beat" series, this does exactly what it says on the tin - it's an MP3 full of some of my favorite beats of his, including instrumentals from EPic ("Darksied", "This Ain't (Love)", "Rev (Hova)", "I Do What I Want"), as well as instrumentals like "?", "Abstract Metaphor", "Clarity" and many more bangers! Hit the jump for a download link and the tracklist.

Saheed "The UP's"

Saheed "The UP's" (prod. by Numonics): Here's a track that's getting some burn down Miami way. The Miami New Times just did a piece on it, and J Ronin just played it on his "All Elements" radio show. You should know it, it's from Numonics' Being Cool Doesn't Pay The Bills, and will be on Saheed's next mixtape, which is hosted by Statik Selektah. Definitely not a game, y'all. Maybe Numonics will let me unleash one of my favorites from the tape to you. We'll see!

yU "Native"

yU "Native": Need more tracks like this. Hell, we need more DIALOGUE like this. I don't think I've ever been friends with a Native American before, not someone who knows their history, so its wild to hear yU express some of those ideas and themes in a Hip-Hop mindframe. And you guys think this thing of ours is just a bunch of numbskullduggery? Tsk, tsk.

Before Taxes, April 13th. Shouts to audible treats.

B. Kane "Ima Do Me"

B. Kane "Ima Do Me": Last week, I properly introduced you to Vixion; Nico The Beast also hit me with info on the homey B. Kane, who represents North Philly, a place that has a lot of love - and a lot of pain - in it. Dude just SOUNDS ill - like you can feel how into the shit he is in his bars. Really love how he sets up his flows and punchlines, especially when he's kickin' lyrics about what he's in this game for. Be on the lookout for his Legend of Kane, Vol. 2 mixtape, which drops on April 17th. The homey Big O is hosting the mixtape release party on the 17th at the Tacony Pool Hall, and the bill also includes HeadLinaz, Nico The Beast, Dolla Rise, Trizzy Sick, Six Capo and Good Money. Go in!

mEAn "Fresh Like Dougie"

mEAn "Fresh Like Dougie" (prod. by Yung Miss): I'm not too sure what's going on right here. mEAn sent over an "exclusive" to 50 kabillion people in an e-mail, with a "cover" to his next single, "I Got It". Yup. Even has a line that says "Island Def Jam Digital Distribution". Not sure if that means he WORKS for them or is putting out music by them, but I digress. I'm gonna assume this is dude right here. Reminds me of listening to 50 Cent during interviews - nigga says a lot of shit, makes you THINK he's the smartest nigga in the room, but really, he's just surrounded by some idiots. Smartest in the room full of idiots.

Yup.

Theo Martins "Kirby's Airwalk"

Theo Martins "Kirby's Airwalk" (prod. by $port): Not sure who did that artwork, but they are the shit. That's amazing. ANYWAYS, Theo and the rising stars over at DJ Booth are linking up to put out You Can't Do That On Television, his EP with $port. From the sounds of it, this will have a futuristic throwback appeal to it that I fucks with on the regular. This is the first leak, so be on the lookout for mo' leaks.

SPLATINUM "Captain Hook (Mindelixir Dub Remix)": Here's a likkle dubstep to whet your palette on a Wednesday morning. SPLATINUM is dropping an album, the 9-track We Are Splatinum, on Daly City, but just had a grip of remixes done, including this mental one from North Carolina's own Mindelixir. They also have a 16-track CD dropping on Daly City, Der Schplatzl 2010, which contains 7 unreleased gems that can't be grabbed online. Both will drop on April 20th, so keep a lookout! Speaking of 4/20, SPLATINUM is holding a free outdoor release party in Seattle, called Intergalactic Masquerade Dance Party, from 6PM to 9PM. Hit their website for full details.

Nato Caliph ft. Bryant Stewart "Her"

Nato Caliph ft. Bryant Stewart "Her": Something a lil' different from the homey Caliph; seems like Springtime got a lot of niggas making music for the lovers. This is some mind sex type of shit. Grown folks know what dude's talkin' about - no puppylove, twitter shit. Real life relationship speak.

Redman "Big Girlz 2010"

Redman "Big Girlz 2010": @therealredman has been on a promo tear as of late, and he passed off this ode to "thickems" last night. I remember him on Wild'n Out doing a rap about "fat chicks, about 300lbs"; classic. This is for you, big girls.

Big up to D.Black for providing the instrumentals from his critically-acclaimed album Ali'Yah for $free.99; beatmakers on this album include Jake One, Vitamin D and B. Brown, so enjoy these. Do note: some of the tracks included overdubbed vocals and hooks. Enjoy nonetheless!

ROE "I'm Dreamin'"

ROE "I'm Dreamin'": Yes, ROE is still working on Just Listen Vol. 2, and yes RTD is still putting it out. This won't be on that tape, but its been a minute since we've leaked something of his, so enjoy it. Love the fuck out of this beat, and I always forget about it. Back in rotation - let's go!

Rappers I Know Presents J. Bizness 3P Series (Vol. 1)

I'm hoping you niggas didn't sleep on Rhymes Within Reason. I really don't. If you did, once you peep this Rappers I Know-presented J. Bizness project, 3P Series (Vol. 1), you'll be kicking the fuck out of yourself. Three tracks, produced by Bizness, featuring the one and only Richard Wright. With the temparture rising, this three-track EP is what you need right now. Seriously. Shouts to iNanz for the dope photography, and @Willeah for the artwork. Hit the cut for the download link, streams and the back cover.

[preview] Deadpool #22

Newsarama has posted a four page preview of Deadpool #22, which drops on 4/28/2010. I ended up digging the "Whatever A Spider Can" arc, but it didn't blossom as I feel it should've. Hopefully this next story (which I think might be a one-off story before the "Tricky" arc) is dope.

Shouts to The Deadpool Bugle.

Celebrity & Solidarity

By now, you should've heard the horrific story that came out of my hometown, Trenton NJ, regarding the reported rape of a 7 year old by multiple men (apparently both juveniles and adults), a fucked-up situation that involved the alleged pimping of this 7-year-old by her 15-year-old sister. Yes, this isn't some movie plot - this actually happened. Now, this story hits home to anyone with a heart, and has picked up national attention, so I wasn't surprised that The Trentonian reported that Russell Simmons, Jay-Z and Rev. Al Sharpton were going to be at a "Stop The Violence" rally in Trenton on Saturday, April 10th, 2010. Wow. Talk about celebrities making change, nahmean!?!?

Elite Assembly At Serve & Protect (3/19/2010)

With Welcome To The Playoffs dropping April 19th, many will see how busy the Elite Assembly crew has been. Daniel Joseph, Brokn.Englsh and St. Joe Louis recently performed at Serve & Protect on the 19th of March, and the homey Ka5p got mad footage. Hit the jump for a grip of videos.

Gerald Walker "Killer Season"

Gerald Walker "Killer Season" (prod. by Kev Brown): From Gerald - "Killer Season is a time in Chicago when robberies, murders, prostitution and crime is on the rise. It Represents a time where winter has passed and summer has emerged. In Chicago last Thursday & Friday the weather was +70 degrees and by Saturday it was reported 41 people shot, 4 homicides in 50 hours. This is not a matter of glorification but an eyewitness account of the things I see while living in Chicago's West Side". With the way shit is going down in Jersey, I understand EXACTLY where homey is coming from.

Mobb Deep "Whole Lotta Thug" (prod. by The Alchemist): ALC leaked this previously-unreleased joint from the Infamous that he produced. Not saying this isn't dope, but compared to the fire that these three have done together, you can hear why this one might've been left on the cutting room floor. For those die-hard Mobb Deep fans who need EVERYTHING they put out.

The ILLZ "Energy In Motion"

The ILLZ "Energy In Motion" [clean | dirty]: This cut was featured on DJ Quiz's Quiz Knows mixtape, but Jersey's own ILLZ dropped the No DJ version today. Intriguing track - dude is deep with his, talking that real deal Holyfield, or as he says "some true shit/everybody's been through it".

DJ Suss.One ft. Maino "Let 'Em Lay"

DJ Suss.One ft. Maino "Let 'Em Lay" (prod. by J-Buttah) [clean | dirty | super clean]: With the Lil' Wayne sample in the hook, and that rag around his neck, this new cut from Suss.One and Maino should be on the soundtrack for GTA: San Andreas. Not sure where this will end up, if it ends up anywhere, but if you're trying to find the perfect song for your drive-by... this might be it!

MiLKMEN "Japan, New York To Vegas"

MiLKMEN "Japan, New York To Vegas": Hah, I know there've been a shitload of "Beamer, Benz Or Bentley" freestyles, but not too many of them kick raps in varying languages. This track was featued on their Calpico mixtape, but if you didn't get up on that, peep this - then go download it! MiLKMEN are on a roll, and are literally international in their travels - hopefully they make a pitstop and/or drop off for RTD Records!

@MaxTannone, the dude behind the Jaydiohead masterpiece, has done it again, this time flippin' Mos Def lyrics on top of classic Dub tracks into a project he calls Mos Dub. Right up my alley. Peep the streams on each track below, and if you dig 'em, DOWNLOAD 'EM!

SoulKlap "iOweYou"

SoulKlap "iOweYou": I'm not up on Cleveland, Ohio's @SoulKlap, but this is definitely Soul-ful. You know proper Soul when it smacks you, then soothes you. This track does both, and it's interesting to note that 'Klap produced this as well. The Higher Plane are putting out his next project, SoulEssential Recordings & The Higher Plane present Klapisms Vol. 1: A Parallax, a mixtape which drops in June 2010. Hopefully we get a leak or 2 before that drops... hopefully!

Amandi "Looking For Love (Real Love)"

Amandi "Looking For Love (Real Love)" (prod. by Nelly ProToolz): Just featured Amandi on this City Slickers post, but I'm digging this one. Not sure if its that futuristic throwback sound that Nelly dropped, or just Amandi's brutal honesty on the track, but this is raw. Scorcher. Looks like homey has a mixtape on the horizon, so be on the lookout if you dig this one!

City Slickers ft. Amandi "If You Wanna Ride With Me"

City Slickers ft. Amandi "If You Wanna Ride With Me": Newest latest from the City Slickers, following up their Hurry Up And Wait mixtape. Love the sample on this one - this has beautiful Spring afternoon written all over it. Proper ridin' music for you and your shorty. Even if it has some corny lines in it, lol.

Dre Robinson "Droppin' Bills"

Dre Robinson "Droppin' Bills": Hah, Dre don't fuck around. This sounds like some anthem shit that might need to be spun on the radio. I'm wondering if his peoples are trying to do some kind of video - I got crazy visions for this one! DJs might need to get up on this one, primed for the partyscene, nahmean?

Kenn Starr "The Notti Joint"

Ken Starr "The Notti Joint" (prod. by Dave Notti): When people ask what the joy of the Internet is, I have to look at artists like Kenn Starr, who I wouldn't know shit about if it wasnt for the 'Net. Rosenberg has championed the Low Budget Crew out of the DMV, and I remember peeping an episode of "Funkadelic Freestyles" with Kenn freestyling, and man, he's a monster. This is a too-short cut from his Kragenoff mixtape, which is primed for a Summer 2010 release, which precedes his Two Track Mind album, which Mello Music Group is dropping this Fall. Big up audible treats.

Numonics Being Cool Doesn't Pay The Bills

After my interview, as well as a false start that birthed a dope instrumental mix, Numonics' Being Cool Doesn't Pay The Bills album, which is mixed by DJ RTC and presented by IM KING, Ruby Hornet and DJ Booth, is here. 21 tracks in total, with features from the likes of BK Cyph, J the S, Donny Goins, TreaZon, D.Julien and many more. Sleepin' on dope Hip-Hop doesn't make you awesome, either... hit the jump!

Rhymefest Dangerous: 5:18 Mixtape

To be honest with you, I don't know much about this tape. Pretty sure Nah Right premiered it, DJ RTC mixed it and a few tracks leaked before it, but I dunno much else about it. Are these all new/original tracks? Leftovers from El Che (which drops on May 18th, 2010)? *shurg*. Thanks, MAC Media!

Kromestar "Jasmine"

Kromestar "Jasmine": I've been on my Spring/Summer shit as of late, and for some reason this track hit me, hard. Kromestar's work has always impressed me, as there's always an air of "yeah, I make dubstep, but check what I can do next..."; "Jasmine", which just dropped on Dub Philosophy, has this live-jazz trio flavor to it, with a swingin' drumbeat paired with some distinct double-bass flavoring. The piano twinklin' make this one a must-hear, too. Almost like a grown-and-sexy dubstep late afternoon romp.

Numan "SkullCrusher (CapricornOne Remix)"

Numan "SkullCrusher (CapricornOne Remix)": For those who are unaware, CapricornOne = Elucid and producer El Carnicero. You might remember Gutta performing this at the Yule Prog festival last December, and from the tracks of theirs I've been hearing, they are onto something. Truly taking the Hip-Hop/Dubstep/Bass-driven hybrid sound to that next level. Their remix of Numan's "SkullCrusher" is available on Slit Jockey right now alongside remixes from Bombaman and M80 Dubstation. For those of us who already knew of the Lessondary Overlord, this is like a dream finally realized - and something I've been wanting for this sound for years. Keep your ears to the underground, as more CapOne material is on the horizon.

I'm also hearing that CapOne will be performing with the Seclusiasis crew on June 17th in Philly. CapOne is also booking dates from June 13th to June 19th - hit them at capricornonemusic@gmail.com or via twitter for details. Boom!

MARS "That's Hot": @thehiphopeffect hit me with this track, and it's got a great Summer-night vibe to it. Word is this is just MARS wanting to spit, which is awesome. Word is dude has three projects in the pipeline: a mixtape (More Yaper Vol. 1), his Counting Sheep EP and a third EP, which is without a title. I think he should call it "Working Hard".

Shanell ft. Jovi Rockwell & Mika Means "La La La La"

Shanell ft. Jovi Rockwell & Mika Means "La La La La": Not sure of what to make of this single from Weezy F.'s baby, Shanell. It's on some fake Dancehall shit, but, and I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but it'd sound much better coming from Gwen Stefani. Jovi is the truth, though. If you like this sound, hit up Complex for the full Shut Up And Listen mixtape.

Good motivational music for a Monday - tell those in your way to get in line if they're trying to eat before you.

Bias ft. Glenn "Stencil" (prod. by Kris Breeze): Here's the single from Bias' Sent By Messenger album, which drops in April. This is kinda crazy - kind of Pop-y, definitely intriguing. Simplistic flex on the beat, but it doesn't need to be super complex. Really love the way they flow as well. Watch out for Glenn's album Anthem, which is set to drop Summer 2010 as well.
