J-PRIMZ – ‘Lemon Juice’ (produced by MF Doom)
We don’t know much about J-PRIMZ, but this first effort from them is a decent intro. Of course, it helps somewhat that the beat happens to be from MF Doom. Listen to Lemon Juice below and let us know thoughts.
Juggaknots – ‘Baby Pictures’
The Juggaknots were one of the most impressive groups to come out of that late 90s classic era of New York underground hip-hop. Not a whole lot has been heard of them since, but now boutique indy label Chopped Herring Records has dropped Baby Pictures, a collection of unreleased tracks and off-cuts. Listen to a few snippets below, and let us know what you think.
Malik B & Mr Green – ‘Crown of Thorns’
Former The Roots rapper Malik B and Mr Green release Crown of Thorns, another track from their forthcoming Unpredictable album.
Action Bronson – ‘Terry’
Action Bronson brings us another step closer to that long-awaited Mr Wonderful album with the release of new single Terry. The beat is on a more laid back funky tip than what we usually get from Bronson, but its another banger from what’s shaping up to be the release of the year. Listen below and let us know what you think.
Lord Ron – ‘Fifty Shades of Rayz’ (C-Rayz Walz mix)
C-Rayz Walz has released a lot of music over the years, and some of it is pretty amazing. Lord Ron has linked up the best bits into a new mix, nicely titled Fifty Shades of Rayz. Listen below, then go back and re-listen to the albums C-Rayz Walz dropped on Def Jux circa 2003-2005.
J Sands – ‘Please’
Lone Catalysts artist J Sands is back with a new track, from upcoming album The Poet Tree Of Life. Watch below and let us know what you think.
Big Shug – ‘Triple OGzuz’ (preview)
Gang Starr Foundation stalwart Big Shug is releasing his new album Triple OGzuz next month, and has dropped some sneak previews. As you’d expect, he’s enlisted old friend DJ Premier for a few of the beats, including lead track I Am Somebody. As for the artwork, well, this just might be one of the worst covers we’ve ever seen.
Cannibal Ox – ‘Harlem Knights’
With their very long-awaited new album Blade of the Ronin dropping next month, Cannibal Ox have released another track, Harlem Knights. Listen below and let us know what you think.
Blade of the Ronin is released March 3, and is available for pre-order now.
J-LIve – ‘I Just Don’t’
