Juju Rogers – ‘Dreams’ feat. Oddisee
Oddisee is a busy man these days, but has somehow squeezed in time to guest on this nice joint from Juju Rogers, charting the stress and strains that go hand-in-hand with trying to make it in the rap game.

Chill Rob G – ‘Chilled Not Frozen’
Stone-cold legend Chill Rob G is back on this new four-track EP, produced by the brilliantly-named Bankrupt Europeans, on the equally brilliantly-named (and accurate) Nobody-Buys-Records label. Listen to Chilled Not Frozen below, which includes a guest spot from R.A. The Rugged Man.
Magnum Opus – ‘Mass Appeal’ by Gang Starr
Mass Appeal by Gang Starr is right up there in our top 3 favorite hip-hop songs of all time, possibly at number 1. It sent a tingle down our spine then to hear that the latest episode of the often-incredible Magnum Opus series from Complex is dedicated to the track. We get to hear from DJ Premier hinself, plus a host of others from his inner circle, each helping to paint a picture of how the classic joint got made, and its impact since. Shame we’ll never get to hear stories from the much-missed Guru. Watch below right now.
Skyzoo – ‘Luxury’ feat. Westside Gunn
Last week saw Skyzoo drop his anticipated Music For My Friends album early. If you’ve yet to hear it, get stream and buy now. In the meantime, peep the video for single Luxury below, featuring Westside Gunn.

Ayatollah & Drasar Monumental – ‘Box Cutter Brothers II’
Just weeks after getting the amazing Box Cutter Brothers album from Ayatollah and Drasar Monumental, there’s already a Part II. Judging from this dope trailer, its even more rugged beats and random sample chops, and you can’t ask for much more in life than that. Watch below, and then go support the release with a purchase.
