Since the country is going to pot due to a little bit of the white stuff today, I thought I’d drop a little something over DJ Premier and Fat Joe’s Thank God For That White instrumental. Who knew I’d be so creative in my week away from the bar. Free download from the soundcloud link. Enjoy.

This is some hard shit. Boxcutter Pazzie and Mean Joe Preem team up on this new joint from Vinnie’s new LP God of the Serengeti, which drops in about a week or so. Go punch a neighbour to this one.

We’re back… New joint from Term and Fame and they brought along two friends to jump all over this slightly underwhelming Primo beat.

Band new ish from La Coka Nostra, which sees Ill Bill and Slaine flipping over DJ Premier’s trademark beats and cuts. The new album, Masters of the Dark Arts will be dropping soon. Should be worth a check.

You know a cypher is a good one when you can’t decide which emcee killed it hardest. This one is truly massive.

You about to see peace destroyed / It’ll never be restored / When I unleash these beastly hordes on your CD stores / You wanna stop it you’re gonna need a priest, about three swords, a licence to ill from the Beastie Boys, three ouija boards and a squeegee / and please be warned, don’t ask what the squeegee’s for / or the holy water – acid rap that’ll eat these floors….

Big. Heavy. Both of those. Taken from Ap’s new LP Honkey Kong.
Anyway, thats all from me for a few days. The 273 is off to NYC for the weekend. I’ll report back when I return to these shores…

Seriously ill joint from Dilated People’s Evidence on a classic Preemo beat.

Oh shit. This is more like it. Reks on a Primo beat is always a dope occasion to me, and this one definitely ain’t a let down. Reks’ flow goes bananas on this one. Everyone wets themselves over Big Pun’s ‘Stuck in the middle of Little Italy’ line on Deep Cover, but Reks flips like that for 75% of this track. Massive.

• Reks – Self Titled

You can never go wrong with a bit of Joell ‘Yaowwa!” Ortiz. A great little precursor to Ortiz’ Free Agent LP which is hopefully gonna drop sometime this year.
