Main Course & Sky 7th "Orphans"

If you fucked with The KhemLab, Main Course and Sky 7th should be two MCs that you're more than aware of. These two were all over the album, and for good reason. In any case, Main is prepping his A Beautiful Blend album, which should be dropping on the 13th of February. The full project is produced by Soundproof, and this one is just wild. Love how this track has an undercurrent of hype to it, but flows at its own pace. These two don't waste a bar at all. KhemLab 2012 and onward. Get involved.

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.

The KhemLab "Ya Gone"

Here's the final leak from #TheKhemLab project that we're dropping tomorrow. I won't go too ham into the shit, but I finally got everything sorted out last week, and feel that this is a strong compilation... that most of you will sleep on. Anyways, atop an instrumental from DJ Concept & DJ Mickey Knox's BYOP EP, Main Course, Whgyee and Sky 7th go hammer over some sly horns. One of the more powerful/immediately impactful bangers from this compilation, these three really brought their individual flavor to this one. Shouts to Main Course, who has helped a LOT in getting this project completed. Grab this, and rock to "Put It To Rest" and their "Streets Won't Let Me Chill" flip, then get ready for our opus when it drops, tomorrow morning!

The KhemLab "Put It To Rest"

Been a minute since I started talking about The KhemLab, a conglomerate of MCs that features cats from the Offshore Drilling project, as well as some additions, and over a number of starts and stops, we're proud to say that the project will be dropping next month. Don't ask for a day yet, doe. If you're like me, you've been living with a migraine. Just feel like there's a lot that are on our plates, and there's a bunch of bullshit trying to clog the pipeline of progress. Kind of like this project. What'd these guys do, though? Put their nose to the grindstone, set their sights on the prize and annihilated anything standing in their way. Main Course, junclassic and Sky 7th took this theme and beasted over this 2 Deep production. Love the drums in this one, really tough, and I'm a sucker for piano loops. There's a lot more heat on this KhemLab project, trust. You've been warned.

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...

Kid Hum & RTD Present The Fuel EP

We dropped the preview to Offshore Drilling last week, and now bring you the first fruits of our labor: The Fuel EP. "Fuel" was one of the illest cuts from Fossil Fuel, and ended up being one of the tracks that MCs gravitated towards when doing this compilation. We've got two dynamic versions of "Fuel" on this EP, as well as Kid Hum's original...

Tracklist:

01: Kid Hum "Fuel" (original version) [prod. by Kid Hum]
02: Junclassic "Bouquet of Flowers" [prod. by Kid Hum]

There's one more version of "Fuel" that you've heard before, and will be featured on Offshore Drilling, as well as more cuts from both Sky 7th and Junclassic. We hope you guys enjoy this - and if you do, please spread the word!

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.

2. Whygee "Klonopins"
3. Prezzure "Never Say Never"
4. Sunken State "Gingivitis"
