This rugged little gem is from New Jersey’s The MTN Man, who we confess to knowing absolutely nothing about until this crept onto our radar. It boasts a nice beat from K-Def, and you can check the video below.
UPDATE: The track is also now available to download – see here.
Indy legend Mr. Lif is back with a new project named Terra Bella, alongside Ayla Nereo and The Polish Ambassador. Guests on the album include Jurassic 5 stalwart Chali 2na and Zion I rapper Baba Zumbi, and it sounds kind of dope. Stream and download below, but do consider Mr. Lif’s plea for a donation. Its only right.

Stones Throw have very quietly dropped another new single from Guilty Simpson, following on from last month’s Vanguard Operation.

Supreme beatmaker K-Def has released yet another quality instrumental album, packed with dope beats from his archives. It follows recent projects Quick Picks and Take 2, and you can listen to the new collection below. Our only negative comment about this and the other recent ones: K-Def, please get someone to do you some better artwork!
We fucking love a good House Shoes mix. Not many hip-hop deejays have knowledge as detailed and varied as he, plus the skills to present it in the dopest of ways. Check his latest mix below, snatched from a recent episode of his monthly radio show on Dublab.
After their recent banging track with M.O.P. stalwart Lil Fame, R.A.W. are back with new single Herbal Intercourse.

The release date for new Gangrene album You Disgust Me from Oh No and Alchemist is fast approaching, and they are keeping the hype moving with the dope new single Reversals.

Aaron Cohen is fairly new on our radar, but we are feeling this dope new single, with guest spots from his Inner City Kids cohorts AbGoHard and Spaceman. It’s taken from the Home Less EP, and you can listen below. We look forward to hearing more from the crew soon.
