With so much talent involved, it was no surprise when 2008’s The Show album from eMC turned out to be a certified classic. If you didn’t know, eMC is the hip-hop super-group formed of the legendary Masta Ace, plus Wordsworth, Punchline and Stricklin. New album The Tonite Show drops in May, and with guest spots from Sadat X and beats by Diamond D, its looking like it could be another winner. Watch the official announcement video below.

The set features plenty of classic Ghost lines, plus guest spots from MF Doom, Danny Brown and more. Speaking of DOOM, now that this album is out, hopefully they can get moving on that long, long awaited GhostDOOM/DOOMStarks/whatever else they end up calling it album.
Flip – ‘Reflections’
The Reflections album from Flip is out now, and its pretty damn good. Listen to a stream of the whole thing below, including tracks featuring Ed OG, Killah Priest, Guilty Simpson and Kev Brown.
Magnum Opus – Rock the Bells
The Magnum Opus series from Complex is back, and considering the last episode covered a 50 Cent song, they are now right back to the proper classics. This time its the story of Rock the Bells from LL Cool J, giving us a great insight into one of the best tracks of all time, including the battle for a certain sample we all know and love.
Ghostface Killah and Badbadnotgood – ‘Street Knowledge’
Sour Soul from Ghostface Killah and Badbadnotgood is out very soon, and the supreme team has released a new track to tease us. Street Knowledge is a change of pace from Ray Gun with MF Doom, but still has Ghost dropping classic lines.

The Dirty Sample feat. Roc Marciano – ‘Three Sixty Five’

Jeru the Damaja – Just One Record
During his travels touring through France, Jeru the Damaja recently contributed to online series Just One Record, where an artist breaks down their favorite album. Jeru picks an absolute hip-hop classic, The Great Adventures of Slick Rick. Towards the end, he also breaks down the producers he’s currently working with. No mention of that reunion with DJ Premier, but hopefully Primo is one of the artists he says he can’t reveal yet.
DJ EFN – ‘Who’s Crazy’ (produced by DJ Premier)
DJ EFN has been dropping some absolute gems of late, and latest track Who’s Crazy is also a DJ Premier banger. Vocals are from Stalley, Troy Ave and the legend Scarface, with unreleased samples of GURU’s voice cut up to perfection on the hook. DJ EFN’s album Another Time hits stores soon.
Asher Roth – ‘Blow Yr Head’
We tend to sleep on Asher Roth, but new track Blow Yr Head is dope. It helps of course when you have an amazing beat from the always-impressive Nottz.
C-Rayz Walz – ‘Flying Monkeys’
After last week’s C-Rayz Walz mixtape from Lord Ron, the man himself has dropped a new single, Flying Monkeys, from upcoming album The Kangol Kid.
