rockthedub presents The KhemLab

Finally. It's been two years since Kid Hum and RTD dropped Offshore Drilling. Two years since guys like Cy Yung, Whygee, Sky 7th, junclassic and others joined forces with Main Course, Deal - The Villain, The Jake and a merry band of features (including the one like Nico The Beast) aligned themselves as The KhemLab. Two years of starts and stops, and finally a powerful push over the last few months to get this done. And it's here. 20 tracks full of raw lyrics, tough beats and a bevy of topics, ranging from murder fantasies to cuts devoted to needing new kicks.

I'm excited for you guys to hear this project in it's entirety, mainly because it started from nothing and became something I'm truly enjoying. The crew also flips cuts from Diamond District and DJ Concept & DJ Mickey Knox' BYOP EP, alongside a serious grip of original beats - shouts to Anno Domini, Centric, Four Finger Ring, Sharp, 2 Deep, J57 and the rest of the 'Lab. But enough from me - take this journey with us.

Don your labcoats and help us decipher this thing called Hip-Hop, and experiment with what the music can really become.

Chanes "Earthquake"

Just a quick heads up; my boy Chanes has a new single, "Earthquake", available for purchase. Proceeds of this track are going towards Haiti Relief. This is being distributed via Island Def Jam Digital, so this is a great look for a great cause. It's available on iTunes, Amazon, eMusic, Rhapsody and many more outlets. Support good Hip-Hop and the Haitian Relief.

Sky 7th Trouble On The Way

Gotta love pleasant surprises. I'm glad I got to feature Sky 7th on Offshore Drilling, and with a forthcoming project coming with RTD (we're in the Lab), I expect to be covering him more. Wasn't expecting a full release in my inbox today, though! Priming the public for his forthcoming album, Trouble Man (Winter 2009), Sky hits you with Trouble On The Way, featuring RTD favs liek Joulz Il and Chanes, alongside Blueface-member Lou Sleefe, and many more. Don't sleep on this at ALL!

Kid Hum & RTD Present Offshore Drilling

Don't you love when a plan comes together? In looking back over past e-mails, it seems as I first discussed the idea to flip Fossil Fuel into Offshore Drilling with Kid Hum back in December of 2008. Six months, that's a decent turnaround time, no? In that timeframe, I've been thoroughly amazed at how slick the tunes coming in have been... I'm always amazed when an idea comes to fruition. I would like to say this is all my doing - I just played middleman, sowing seeds and contacting heads. I want to shout out EVERYONE who contributed to this project, from Hum being so receptive to the MCs hitting us with some explosive material to the various websites who've helped spread the word on this endeavour. Now you can finally enjoy what I've been waiting to drop on you guys...

PREVIEW: Kid Hum x RTD Offshore Drilling

I've been telling you about this project for a bit (as has Kid Hum and Fake Shore Drive). Myself and Hum have been trying to secure some ill tracks, using instrumentals from his Fossil Fuel project, and have a dope project to show for it. We got the cover art (shouts to the girl Uriela, as per usual) the other night, and figured it made sense to drop the tracklist on you as well. Check out the fruits of our labor...

1. Cy Yung "Audobon"
2. Whygee "Klonopins"
3. Prezzure "Never Say Never"
4. Sunken State "Gingivitis"
5. Brown Bag All-Stars "Dissappointment"
6. Junclassic "Angst"
7. Joulz Il "My Microphone"
8. Hellz Yea! "RTD Anthem
9. L. Chanes "Church"
10. Pugz Atomz ft. Primeridian & Awdazcate "The Ride"
11. Braille "Thinking Shoes"
12. Cy Yung "Cy De B"
13. Blueface (Sky 7th & Lou Sleefe) "50 Years"
14. Bonus Track: Junclassic "Passport"
15. Bonus Track: Sunken State "Cavities"

Mastering should be sorted out very soon. I'll keep you guys posted as to when this drops when everything is complete. Until then... salivate!

PS Watch out for the Fuel EP from Kid Hum and myself, which serves as a sampler to this main course.
