Again, I’m on a late pass, but I’ve been hella busy. Back to a more normal schedule next week, I promise. But I couldn’t let this get away. DC’s own Lyriciss dropped 2 tracks off his upcoming Day Job mixtape. Failure 2.0 is over the beat to Lupe’s Failure, which has a nice grimy feel [...]
Great track off of The Birth. Cool little video. Shoutout to Theo, the interview should be up soon.

I’ve been doing what I can to back these guys. But after hearing this project, I’m going to have to start doubling my efforts. Cold Legistics, the production team of The Admiral & Teddy Roxpin, have been coming up for a while, working with artists like Praverb and O Zee. This is the first real [...]
This is a dope mix I picked up courtesy of my man DutchMassive. The mix was thrown together by My Man Henri, and is about an hour and twenty minutes long. It features Jay Electronica, Common, Flying Lotus, J-Dilla, Musinah, Samiyam and more. I thought this was gonna be a nice chill mix to fall [...]
Hmmm… I really like this. I think that, in terms of the aesthetic on BE, this really doesn’t fit in. I also like the KanYe beat way more than this one. But this is a great song too. Glad it got released, but this could have gone on Finding Forever (which, I must say, was [...]
This is the next track in Theo’s Channel Surfin Series. This guy is really great at spitting over all kinds of beats. (Last time he spit over a Swizzy Beat, and I didn’t even realize it, so sorry for the lack of info there). This time, he’s on a nice laidback Dilla joint, and he [...]
J-Dilla’s Brother and B-More’s finest team up for a little freestyle. These guys working together is surprisingly nice. Hope to hear more from them in the future. Illa J, while he probably wouldn’t have a music career were it not for his brother, is actually pretty nice on the mic. And Aaron LaCrate is ridiculous, [...]
Madlib’s younger brother gets down on a J-Dilla banger. The video’s not too exciting, but the song is dope. Check Stone’s Throw to cop.

KanYe, after debuting his new single at the VMAs has confirmed the news that he will be dropping a new album this year, titled “808 & Heartbreak.” The album is slated for a December 18th release, although I’m going to be surprised if it releases on time. To be 100% honest, I’m a bit skeptical [...]
Illa J, aka J Dilla’s little brother is really doing his thing and honouring his brother right. This is a track featuring their Detroit brethren, Guilty Simpson. This whole circle of MCs and producers is really grinding hard right now, and putting out a ton of quality stuff. Dopeness all around.
Illa J - Listenin’ (feat [...]
