J Rawls and J Sands made some great music as Lone Catalysts during that golden era of indy hip-hop in the mid-late 90s. Dope Folks Records are gearing up to bring their sound back with The Prequel 94-96 EP, which we presume is a bunch of unreleased joints from that era. The EP will include these two lovely tracks, which you can check out below.

Hex One & 5th Element – ‘Dinner Time’ feat. Ruste Juxx
The Hologramz album from Hex One & 5th Element was one of 2015’s best, packed full of bangers. There’s now a video for standout tracks Dinner Time, featuring Ruste Juxx and Halfcut. Watch below, and let us know what you think.
I Self Devine – ‘This Is That Shit’ feat. P.O.S.

PRhyme – ‘Mode’ feat. Logic
DJ Premier and Royce Da 5’9″ are back with this new track from the much-hyped Southpaw soundtrack. It sees Preemo make more good use of Adrian Younge’s original music, and also features the fast flows of emcee Logic. Listen below.
The Doppelgangaz – ‘Speak Awn Eht’
The Doppelgangaz are becoming relentless with these beat tapes, lacing us with another one just weeks after the excellent Parts Unknown. Speak Awn Eht is more of the same dopeness, and you can listen to it below.
