Co$$ x Numonics Revelations

There’s been a number of leaks thrown out, and a number of sites that have caught on to Co$$ and Numonics’ union, but the time has come to read through their Revelations. I’d say “make sure you smoke something/drink something while rockin’ to this”, but not only does that go without saying, it’s really just not necessary. This combination is just perfect. Co$$ has a dope voice, something that feels different, and I appreciate how he doesn’t mince words or hold back – if it’s on his mind and makes it to his pen, it’s on the page and out of his mouth soon enough. With all of that soul-bearing, you need Soulful soundscapes, and the one like Numonics knocks it out the park each and every. I won’t go too deep into each track, but “Fake Kings” is an anthem over here right now, as there are a lot of you fake kings out there in many walks of life. I see you, we see you.

Anyways, download this and make it the soundtrack for your now.

Spiderfang Hatchback Music

Hip-Hop is my main love when it comes to music, with the art of being eccentric and/or singular at a close second. This Spiderfang shit reminds me of both, and fits into the area of my playlist that also encompasses Sharkula, Odd Future, Das Racist (who are featured on “Pink Polo Shirts”) and others, cats who are smart enough to dumb out pon the dancefloor. I don’t know what the term “hipster” means anymore, but I’d assume a lot of heads would affix that tag to this quick shot, but really, it’s just fun. Remember fun? The shit you did when you stopped caring and listening to what you should be doing? Yup, that’s Spiderfang (aka Jonah Weiner). It’s the sound of not giving a fuck and smiling a lot. To a beat.

Big up to Hans Beck, who mixed four out of these 7 tracks, and produced track 7, "So NPR", which I featured on The Four Horsemen earlier this year.

Hip-Hop Galactus

It’s been damn near a year since I dug back into the Marvel Universe (while flirting with Image a bit) full force. I used to go pretty hard in my comic book reading, with my obsession for all things X-Men/Punisher/Ghost Rider, and its been good to see how far my favorite comic book characters have evolved (or devolved) since I put the books down over a decade ago. I noticed this week that two books (Chaos War #2 and Hulk #26) both had quick cameos/references to the eater of earths, Galactus, and both references shook whomever he encountered. Dude is a hungry demigod, one who’s story has been told in plenty of books, and is pretty much unmatched in the Marvel Universe. It got me thinking earlier on twitter: does Hip-Hop have a Galactus? And if so, who is his equal in our scheme of things?

A few heads brought up the mighty Hex Murda, who definitely works in that scheme of things, based on his persona and lore. I’m wondering, though, if Hex is Galactus, who is his Silver Surfer? Who else do you think fits the Galactus mold inna Hip-Hop zone? Reply to this post or tweet me (and use the #hiphopgalactus hashtag), so we can see if there is an eater of earths within the worldwide Hip-Hop scene.

Evol Intent Unconditional Evol

Evol Intent brings you a blistering laptop-live mix, based on performances from their fall 2009 tour. Defying genres, this mix has moments of drum and bass, dubstep, hiphop and everything in-between.

Accompanying this live mix is an EP of remixes and edits exported and extended for DJ sets. Included in this EP are some of the top requests the guys got along the tour.
These tunes include:
- 'The Rewards is More Cheese (Evol Intent Live Edit)' : This is a remix of Deadmau5's smash hit ready for drum and bass sets.
- 'Binary Calling' : a mashup of Evol Intent's remix of Tech Itch/Kemal's 'the
Calling' with Binary Finary's seminal trance classic '1998.'
- 'Champion Sound' (Evol Intent dubstep edit) : a classic amongst most drum and bass heads, Q-Project's 'Champion Sound' is updated for the dubstep crowd.
- Raven (Evol Intent Ravenstep Remix) : this is Evol Intent's dubstep take on Proxy's big tune 'Raven.'
- Calle Ocho (Evol Intent Dubstep Remix) - This is Pitbull's massive hit (otherwise known as "I Know You Want Me") re-imagined as dubstep.

St Joe Louis ft. Chordz Cordero "30,000 (LOASOM Remix)"

St Joe Louis ft. Chordz Cordero "30,000 (LOASOM Remix)" (prod. by DJ K.O. & Elementality): Love the flex that K.O. put into this “Living Out A State Of Mind” remix of the lead single from SJL’s 30,000 Feet High And Rising project that dropped a big ago. The backdrop here, with the FAT bass paired with some dope guitar work, brings a new element to the “30,000” theme. Stakes are higher than ever, and I’m glad that these EA-affiliates are documenting that. RTD Records still plans on dropping their “Good Morning” single, which features “30,000” on it, so be on the lookout for that.

DJ J-Live First Things First, Vol. 3

This is the latest installment of the mixtape series "First Things First". Like the previous two, Volume 3 is a mix of quality hip hop, both old and new. All of the songs are the first real song on their respective albums. As always, "skits and interludes not included". First Things First Vol 3 is both mixed and hosted by DJ J-Live, with assistance and guest drops from super producer J-Live, and emcee extraordinaire J-live. While they were busy plugging their new 6 song EP "Undivided Attention" (on vinyl and digital November 2nd) they also took time out to correct a mistake made on Volume 2.

DJ Concept & DJ Mickey Knox ft. L.E.G.A.C.Y., Kaleber & Typ Ill "Ya Gone (DJ JS-1 Remix)"

DJ Concept & DJ Mickey Knox ft. L.E.G.A.C.Y., Kaleber & Typ Ill "Ya Gone (DJ JS-1 Remix)" [clean | dirty]: You probably slept on the BYOB EP – for shame. There’s a lot of sick Hip-Hop being made that you “everything is dead” fucks continue to sleep on. Concept and Knox have their BYOB LP set to drop soon, and this bombastic remix of “Ya Gone”, concocted by the one and only JS-1, is the lead single. I’m biased, but the boy Leg went in. BYOB also features rhymes from Chaundon, Big Noyd, Illa Ghee and Little Vic, with beats provided by DJ Supa Dave, DJ Skizz, Little Vic and more.
