Black Collar Biz ft. Silent Treatment - "Snakes In The Grass"

See, this is why I will always fuck with Black Collar Biz. There are SO MANY SHADY MOTHERFUCKERS out there, but if you don't keep your grass cut, you won't see them lurking. This collab with Silent Treatment has a throwback, back porch vibe to it; a bunch of old(er) heads trying to school new niggas to game.

J-Live - "Feel This"

Damn, is it already new J-Live season?! I actually went through a number of his older cuts a few weeks ago, so getting "Feel This," the new single from his forthcoming album How Much Is Water? has me open. As per usual, Live drenches some fly intellect inside his hypnotic flows.

How Much Is Water? drops via Mortier Music on October 23.

Black Mag - "Trust In You"

South Central's Black Mag (aka Black Men Are Gods) gets pretty damn heavy with the mental over this jazziness from P. Soul. This is one of those gems that I didn't know how to approach, and as it went on it totally bowled me over. "Niggas get on with no talent" is when I got hooked.

Smokers Jacket Got Johnny Rebel to Mix Their New Tape, 'Playboy'

For the last seven years, Pugs Atomz and Awdazcate have created fire material as Smokers Jacket. If you're up for some material you can only smoke joints and sip fine cognac to, dig into DJ Johnny Rebel's Playboy mix, which finds the duo getting so damn grown over the span of 15 cuts.

Hollywood FLOSS - "Ascension"

Houston's FLOSS says he took it easy on y'all, so it looks like he linked with Chris Rockaway to go full-on beast mode on the competition.

Lyric Jones x DirtyDiggs - "Gems from the Cubicle" EP

The title of Lyric Jones' new DirtyDiggs-produced EP Gems from the Cubicle brought me back to that time before I got hired by Complex (aka three years ago) when I felt like I was murdering life while pushing paper for "The Man." Let this EP be the fuel you need to achieve your own dreams.

True.

Consequence Talks the History of A Tribe Called Quest on Juan Epstein

"Quence is doing the rounds promoting some new dope music so we decided to make this visit different and make it completely about his time with Tribe. The story starts with Q-Tip just being cousin Jon in Queens and goes all the way to the story of the fallout between Tip and Phife. Rap nerds rejoice!"
