Tonedeff - Hunter

If you've been peeping one of the best podcasts on the Internets, Tacos & Chocolate Milk, you've no-doubt hard QN5 general Tonedeff speaking on his sophomore album, Polymer. He's been releasing it as a series of EPs, and the third EP, Hunter, was recently released. You can cop each of the three EPs (which include Glutton and Demon) digitally, but the fourth and final piece of Polymer will only be made available via the physical collector's edition of Polymer. Those will be limited, as Tone's only pressing up as man copies as are pre-ordered. Get those pre-orders in ASAP, and preview Hunter down below.

John Michael ft. Black Collar Biz - "Like A Drug"

No matter how much you think you're up on things, you can never see everything. Case in point: I thought I was up-to-speed on everything Black Collar Biz had out there, but definitely missed this month-old feature on John Michael's "Like A Drug." This is pure, hip-hop inspired R&B music with Collar dropping some fly lyrics in this feature. You all know you have those people you properly feen for, right? Cuffing season's upon us - don't get caught out there!

Willie Green - A Suite For Souled People

These might be the only tracks I want to hear living in a post-Ferguson world. Well, it's the world we've lived in, but the nonsense is front and center. Willie Green said he felt some kind of way after Ferguson, and put together this project:

"The recent events in Ferguson, Missouri (as well as Staten Island, Beavercreek, Ohio, and Los Angeles) have lifted a veil of comfortable ignorance across this country. The murder of Michael Brown, resultant cover up and egregious treatment of protesters has shown that the perception of Black people in America has changed little since the Civil Rights movement of the 1960’s. Americans live in a country where the oppressed are dehumanized and told to be quiet and gracious about their anger; and where the oppressors are harbored by our government and rewarded by our peers. Where the media warps facts to prove agendas against citizens and digital voices rush to play devil’s advocate to conceal their own bias. These are terrifying statements and not exaggerations. I’m no revolutionary. But I am someone who wants to look his children in the eyes and say when his country showed its worst, he did something."

Elucid, billy woods, and Curly Castro do their thing on this one.

M-Dot - "Praverbs"

M-Dot's shared a tribute to Praverb. Here's what got sent over with the track:

"One of my best friends, for over 12 yrs and the most selfless and humble person I have met passed away today, Praverb The Wyse" - M-Dot

A tribute to the emcee/blogger Praverb that we all knew and loved. He had called M-Dot the night before he passed and when M-Dot got the News yesterday, he took to the studio to vent the only way he knows how over this beat by Jerz. RIP Earl.
