According to Czarface, Every Hero Needs a Villain, and they don’t come much more villainous than MF DOOM. His feature on Ka-Bang is everything we’d hoped for, and yet more proof of how amazing the new album from 7L, Esoteric and Inspectah Deck is. Check it out below.

Slum Village – ‘Right Back’ feat. De La Soul
The drops from new Slum Village album Yes! have been great so far, but Right Back is the one that has been intrigueing us most, and that’s because it features De La Soul over J Dilla beat once again. Turns out it only has Plug 1 on it, but it’s still dope all round. Listen below.

Alchemist & Saga – ‘Saga Ghanoush’
It hasn’t taken long for a rapper to jump all over beats from new Alchemist project Israeli Salad, just ask Saga.

Listen to Saga Ghanoush below.

Git Beats & Bob Banner – ‘Last Time U Closed Your Eyez’ feat. Sean Price
