The god DJ Premier spoke with Tim Westwood on Radio 1 back in March, and the DJ Premier Blog had audio of it posted last month. Looks like Westwood's camp threw a few videos of Primo's visit up - check them out after the jump!
Add-2 "Goin' In" (prod. by Marcus Banks): Last night, ynotmydream.com got deleted by Blogger for copyright reasons. Not to take that L, Ant has sorted out ynotmydream.net, and is still planning on moving forward with his projects. 1 dropping this Wednesday. This track (and Scheme's "Broke") makes me want that tape NOW!
Stealth "Definition Of Life": Following up on "Cake Walk", Stealth brings us the 2nd leak from 2nds, which is set to drop on April 30th. Love this track a lot - he goes hard on that piano. Interesting views and bars on the definitions on a few aspects of life...
The Camp ft. Bishop Bacardi & Dre Robinson "Move" (prod. by Teddy Roxpin): Tracks like this crack me up - it's been a minute since I've heard music from The Camp, and I regularly feature Dre Rob AND Teddy Roxpin on RTD, so it feels like it was made for RTD, haha. Anyways, this is some "niggas just stepped in the place, get the fuck out my face" type appeal. More sci-fi of a sound from Roxpin than I've heard before, but it works perfect for the subject matter. Throw this one on when you wanna make it known that the big dawgs are in the venue.
This is the first leak off of Pills & Liquor, which is set to drop in June on Banga Bros. Ent.
The Strangers "Jinn And Men": If you peeped Back For Seconds by the 2 Hungry Bros.. you would've heard Khwaja Muhammad on "Top Floor". Khwaja is 1/2 of The Strangers, who just put out an album that you can grab on iTunes. "Jinn And Men" is a deep track from the album, some question yourself, introspective shit over a moody beat. One for the deep-thinkers, those who want their Hip-Hop with a lil' more than a shuck and jive.

League510 "To The Beat": If there's one thing RTD loves seeing, its niggas trying to attack shit in different ways. With their "Town Techno" sound, @League510 have a pretty ill blend of Rap and Club music going off. There's not a lot going on lyrically here, but them flowing over that synth-driven banger is enough. If I had one critique, I'd say they could've done something else with the hook. It makes sense, and yes it's catchy, but it's fucking annoying. Throw this one on at your party, though, and see the people go dumb.
Money First "Lamborghini Lifestyle" (prod. by J. Glaze): Following up the "Rap Juggernauts" video, the Money First unit smacks you right upside the face with this new track, with an anthem for the ballers out there. If you have a lambo, hit the gas and cruise off to this one; if you DON'T have a lambo, blast this one when you're on your grind, trying to get it.
Little Brother "Tigallo For Dolo" (prod. by Khrysis): This is what the fuck I'm talkin' about. Found myself crackin' The Listening back open, mainly for "For You", which also has some classic Phonte bars. Lemme say it now: Phonte rappin' > Phonte sangin'. Just sayin'. And in my humble opinion, Leftback is forgettable. If this is on your year-end lists, you failed.
The first volume of DJ Hipnotikk's Dirty South Thugstep series was so nice, he flipped it again. More of that crunked-out dubstep is here, with refixes from DJ Nappy,Chango, subPRIME and Hipnotikk himself. He also hit me off w/ 320s of some of the refixes, which are littered through the mix. Hit the jump!
Cypress Hill "Light It Up" (prod. by Pete Rock) [Bonus Beat Cypress Hill ft. Evidence & The Alchemist "Pass The Dutch" (prod. by DJ Muggs & DJ Khalil)]
Jackson Jones "Marvelous": The next few weeks are about to get so serious. Jackson Jones = Deal - The Villain beasting over beats from the mighty Madlib; the Jackson Jones project will drop on May 3rd, one day after the premiere of The Boondocks, Season 3, and two weeks after the release of Welcome To The Playoffs, the mixtape from DTV's crew, the Elite Assembly. DTV's flow on this one is crazy - if I had a Black Superhero cartoon on Saturday mornings, this would have to be the theme music. Or just loop shots of Jordan dunking on the Knicks at the Garden.
Yes, the next few weeks are about to be SO serious!
Rickie Jacobs ft. Artic "Mission Accomplished": I've been wondering where the homey Articulate's been - he's been cookin' up crack with Rickie Jacobs! Air Jacobs is on the way, and these two BMore beasts serve up some heat over Nas & Damian Marley's "As We Enter" instrumental. Get your Friday on!
I got a chance to peep World War Hulks #1, and it had a short comic on Deadpool's Hulk form, Hulkpool. It brought a new element into it - Hulkpool wanting to merk Deadpool, and it also brought in... drumroll please... BOB, AGENT OF A.I.M.!!! Hulked-Out Heroes #1 is set to continue Hulkpool's quest, which should be fucking retarded, and Newsarama has a six-page preview of this comic, which should be out soon.
Dane "12 Hour Shifts" (prod. by Purple Madness): Dane's nickname is "Beautiful Monster"... now, I don't judge the way dude's look to say if a nigga is beautiful, but the "monster" part makes sense. This track is for you lot who feel like their lives are being sucked dry at a dead-end job, and wanna fuck your boss the fuck up. You can't do it, you gotta eat that bullshit, and this track is your anthem.
Gripz "Primal Urge" (prod. by Anno Domini): Gripz does some of his best work w/ the homey Anno, so it's no surprise that the first leak from Poetic Literature 3 is a cut that Anno produced, playing as a description of the hunger Gripz has, and his taste for the art and fame.
Cypress Hill "Light It Up" (prod. by Pete Rock): I've been waiting for this ever since I heard Pete Rock drop this on Toca Tuesdays back in Nov. '09. Don't know what it is about that beat - it's a fucking heat rock from Pete Rock. Period. Grab this and more via Nah Right. Damn, this is gonna be on all night!
Barrington Levy ft. Snoop Dogg & Mims "Watch Dem (Murderer)": Got this blast and almost got pissed, it felt like they stapled some classic toastin' from Levy and added bars from Snoop and Mims to it, but Barrington does do a likkle bit mo on this one, although it feels like he's more featured on here than it really being his track. Not sure what this is off of, but enjoy it.
This is the latest episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Jon Judah for the week of April 7, 2010 with some new and classic Hip-Hop & Soul Music, news and commentary.
Some of the topics we covered in this in depth interview include Famoso's musical & environmental influences in New York City, his extensive independent and mainstream music history in the music industry , what inspires him creatively to make music in his life, the need for balance in Hip-Hop music, his viewpoint about the current state of NYC & East Coast Hip-Hop music scenes, past & future plans, music projects and lots more!
Sick Six ft. Reef The Lost Cauze & Burke "They Don't Want It": Here's a slick ALC flip from Sick Six's Dead Thoughts release. This track is bugged - proper cocksure poetry from three talented cats. Who said Philly didn't have spitters? You'll get "crushed by a punch that'll feel like a mule kick", bitch. You don't want it! Peace to Haj for this one.
Yelawolf "Kickin' (Trillbass & ELOHEL Remix)" [mirror]: For some reason, I never got into Yelawolf. Never had any real interest or reason to peep his music. Well, when you add grimey basslines from Trillbass and ELOHEL, yeah, that's reason enough. Dutty South Dubstep for your bitch ass. Enjoy.
Sean J "Give Me A Reason" (prod. by Epidemmik): If you didn't grab A Tree By Itself, you're sleepin'. Sean J is dropping some individual tracks from the project to give people an idea of what the project's like, and hopefully convert some listeners to believers. Here are his thoughts on "Give Me A Reason": "This song is special for me for the simple fact that Epidemmik been doing for me since I was 12 years old... So the chemistry is always amazing on the tracks. Also, this track is basically the only flat-out song geared to females.. for the A Tree By Itself project. BUT don't get it twisted, its no love song... I do it in "Sean J style". LOL. ".
BK Cyph "Next Level Freestyle": Here's a lil' throwback flavor from the Rap Al Bundy. Cyph beasts over the classic "Next Level (Nyte Time Mix)" from Showbiz & AG. For the second time. Watch out for his Married... With Children project, which should be coming out soon!
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.
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" (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!
