I could have posted these all separately... But why?
New video from Tyler and Frank. Off Tyler's GOBLIN album. Which is in stores now, and is pretty okay.
New joint from Hodgy Beats. Produced by some guy named Mike Uzi. It may be from Hodgy's upcoming album. Might not be. Who ever really knows. But its pretty dope.
CLICK TO LISTEN: FRANK OCEAN - SNIPPET
New snippet from Frank Ocean. Probably on his next album. Rumor has it they may just release Nostalgia, ULTRA in stores now that OF has their distro deal through Sony. Another thing we'll have to wait and see for... Still, if you havent heard the Frank Ocean album, you've got a rock on your head, and you live under it.

MTV's The Challenge: Rivals (Trailer)
Say what you want, I've always found the Real World/Road Rules Challenges incredibly entertaining. Although, now they are officially just being called "The Challenge," since they havent had a new season of Road Rules in like 10 years... This will be the first season of all Real World / Fresh Meat competitors. The concept for this season looks pretty dope... The show starts June 22nd, on MTV.
Ali Shaheed Muhammad - Parodys Parodox
Tribe Called Quest's beatsmith drops a single with him handling the mic as well as the production. Normally this is where i'd start a rant about dope producers needing to stay in their fucking lane...but this song was a pleasant surprise. This shit is dope. Not sure if he's planning on putting out a record with him on the mic, but if he is, i'll be checking for it.

Emilio Rojas ft. Killer Mike - FTW (Video)
Admittedly, the first time I saw someone on the internet say "FTW," this is what I thought they meant... Anyways, Emilio drops one last video from his Life Without Shame project, while gearing up for Breaking Point, which drops later this summer... If you haven't heard Life Without Shame yet, I suggest you do so immediately.

Luisa Maita - Lero-Lero
Hows about a little Brazilian Samba for that ass!? I am a big fan of world music, and every now and then, when I'm looking for a little something different than hip hop, I start scouring the internet for some new world music. I also tend to be a little partial to Brazilian music (thanks to my obsession with Céu). So today, I came across an artist names Luisa Maita, and was immediately impressed with her work. This song is amazing. So grab it, and listen to it. And share it with all of your friends...

Throwback Of The Day: Big Daddy Kane & Spinderella
If you were alive in 1993, and owned a radio, you knew this song. Kane and Salt-N-Pepa's Spinderella had the hip hop equivalent of a love-ballad-duet. The song was huge in my city. And the hook was infectious. So if you dont remember the song by the title, "Very Special," Hit that little play button, and give it til the first chorus, and I bet you'll be singing along...

AssociatedMinds & Eatgood Records - The Highball EP
It's rare that I can enjoy some UK hip hop...I admit, I'm that asshole American, that just can't get past the accents. But a few weeks back I stumbled over the Yankee Rmx of "The Heat", Which is fucking awesome. Now here is the EP, which I find myself liking a lot...which is out the ordinary for me.
A creative experiment between two of the UK's leading emerging hip-hop labels, 'The Highball EP' was created over the space of one single hazy night and day in a darkened studio. The resulting six tracker, plus 3 remixes, features the coming together of various musical and rhyming styles into a batch of heaters to please the hip-hop heads out there.
Featuring production from some of the UK's finest in AssociatedMinds' Metabeats, P.L.O. and Beatbox Fozzy and Eatgood's own Kelakovski. There are also two production remixes from close friends of the labels and production maestro's, Dockmini & Myke Forte. Meanwhile the jam packed mic duties are handled by EG's Sonnyjim, Kosyne, RTKal, Taharka & Redbeard and AM's Mudmowth, Ralph Rip Sh*t, Ruffstylz, P.L.O., Metabeats & Willo Wispa.
'The Highball's track list ranges through the unadulterated onslaught of P.L.O.'s 'The Heat', the irresistible swing of Metabeats 'The Snap', the traditional boom bap of 'Daily Routine' to Kelakovski's West Coast blap in 'Babs Windsor', through to the left-field rattling of 'Phazer' through to the new-school-beatbox powered finale of 'The Highball'.
The EP also features the previously released and well received 'US Language' Remix of 'The Heat' featuring three of Philadelphia's finest in Mello Music Group's Has-Lo and Three Dollar Pistol Music's Zilla Rocca and Curly Castro on the 'US Language' Remix of 'The Heat'.
We hope you enjoy it. We did making it.
