Cyclops - Rap Scott Summers
I'm not sure if Cyclops knew of my comic book love when he asked me to help present Rap Scott Summers, but I loved the whole idea and concept. And the fact that he had a jawn called "Asteroid M". The X-Men have always been my shit, so to hear someone flip those themes with a project like this? Awesome. Fully produced by Tokyo Cigar, mixed by DJ Jay Skillz and presented by RTD and YNotMyDream. Fun funnery.DOWNLOAD Cyclops - Rap Scott Summers
The Plexiglass Fountain "We Got Today"
With all of the "Occupy ______" protests going on worldwide, Cyclops & Tokyo Cigar dropped a pretty poignant track on the Internets last week. Although, their sentiments lean more to how guys like Dallas Penn see things, it's dumb easy to get lost in the strife, worries and bullshit of the daily grind. Do you for you right now, instead of waiting for an inevitable. Carpe diem, my nigga. Carpe diem. The Year of the Dragon: 2012 A.D. is on the way...DOWNLOAD The Plexiglass Fountain "We Got Today"

The Plexiglass Fountain = Cyclops & Tokyo Cigar. Their Year of the Dragon: 2012 A.D. album is due out early 2012.
Cyclops ft. e.d.g.e. "Asteroid M"
Cyclops ft. e.d.g.e. "Asteroid M" (prod. by Tokyo Cigar): Here's a new cut off of Rap Scott Summers, which Cyclops will be dropping alongside YNotMyDream and RTD this Fall. This track is kind of crazy. It's hype but when you break down each piece, it's really kind of simple. Tokyo Cigar is a monster with this one! Love that Cyclops takes this comic shit seriously - from his name to the mixtape title to this track's title to the X-Men references throughout the track. Something hype to get lost in.Cyclops "Going Nowhere Fast"
Cyclops "Going Nowhere Fast" (prod. by Tokyo Cigar): A lot of you might’ve been introduced to Cyclops on FiF, which is dope – I also didn’t know about homey until I got submissions for the project! I like dude’s realness – not too many cats follow up lines about wanting to get a salary from Rap with mentions of taking Benadryl for their allergies. It’s hard to throw your dreams up against your reality, you feel me? Know how many days I wish I could stop sitting behind a desk in an air-conditioned company to be sweating behind a desk at home, writing to my heart’s content? My own personal goals aside, this cut is part of a bundle that Cy’s working on for his forthcoming mixtape with DJ Jay Skillz. Not sure when we’re dropping this, but be on the lookout. I ride for dude’s honesty.Articulate, AWKWORD, Brown Bag AllStars, Curly Castro, Cyclops, DJ Nappy, Elucid, Hip-Hop, Mario Dones, mp3, Numonics, Pugs Atomz, Rickie Jacobs, Scripts N Screwz, The Two.

Why yes, it's definitely been five years since I first started rockthedub (back when I still had a "blogspot.com" attached). It's been a wild journey - I went from needing a spot to let some of my unpublished interviews and reviews breathe, and turned into a destination for heads who want a different take on the normal shit you find on music blogs. As we always do around this time, I felt like I needed to drop a special compilation, and tried to assemble a load of previously -unreleased/exclusive material, so on this project you'll find new shit from Brown Bag AllStars, Zilla Rocca, Curly Castro, Elucid, Scripts N Screwz, Pugs Atomz & DJ Vadim, The Two. Fifteens, Whygee, an exclusive remix of a J NiCS track from Numonics, two DJ Nappy refixes, Mario Dones, Rickie Jacobs with Artic, and plenty more tracks.DOWNLOAD rockthedub.com presents FiF [mirror]
I also got a grip of tracks that didn't fit the 80 minute length I place on my compilations, so here's a batch of Bonus Beats featuring heat from JSWISS, Elucid, Deal - The Villain, E Dot Dizzy, SUICIDER, R.O.E., Triple J, Stealth, Kenny Kenny and others.

That's a total of 34 tracks, for free. Not a number that's divided by five evenly... sue me. Big up to EVERY artist who sent me a track for this, or ever sent anything my way, as well as any head who has visited the site in the past five years. I do this for all of you. Shouts to my wife and my family for holding me down. I hope you enjoy this compilation, and help us celebrate our first five years. Thanks again!
