El Da Sensei – ‘Show Stoppa’
Coalmine Records compilation album Unearthed, mixed by DJ Revolution, was one of the best projects of last year, and is still dropping gems. The latest is Show Stoppa from The Artifacts legend El Da Sensei, remixed nicely here by J57. Listen below, and if you don’t own the full compilation yet, sort your shit out fast.
Mac Miller – ‘I Got This Beat In My Head ‘
There’s probably a lot of weird shit inside the head of Mac Miller, but plenty of good stuff too, like this new joint that has surfaced online, following on from the recently-dropped Boo. Its not clear what project this is or isn’t from, but you can hear I Got This Beat In My Head on the link below nonetheless.
Listen here.
Statik Selektah – ‘Unlimited Metro Card’ feat. Your Old Droog
Your Old Droog pops-up on this new joint from Statik Selektah, taken from the latter’s upcoming Lucky 7 album. Its exactly what you’d expect from these two, and by that, we mean its straight fire. Listen below, and let us know what you think.
MURS – ‘Two Step’
Its seems to be taking forever for new MURS album Have A Nice Life to actually arrive, and we still have to wait another week. In the meantime, listen to third single Two Step below, featuring King Fantastic.
Diamond Lung – ‘More Smoke’
We didn’t know a thing about San Fransisco crew Diamond Lung until this appeared on our radar, but we definitely want to know more about them now. The group is made up of rapper Lightbulb and producer Brycon, and you can listen to More Smoke below.
Estee Nack & Purpose – ‘T.I.M.E.’
This nice banger from Estee Nack & Purpose is taken from forthcoming album 14 Forms: The Book of Estee Nack, dropping on the always-reliable Ill Adrenaline Records. Watch the video for T.I.M.E. below, and shout us with any comments.
Ayatollah & Drasar Monumental – ‘Box Cutter Brothers’
Box Cutter Brothers is the new joint project from Ayatollah and Drasar Monumental, and they’ve gifted us a sampler of their new self-titled album, out now. It sounds like an absolute gold mine for crate diggers and sample heads like us, and you can watch the short teaser clip below.
Magestik Legend – ‘Legend Has It’
Detroit rapper Magestik Legend, he of The Black Opera fame, has dropped new album Legend Has It, and you can stream and buy it below. It’s got guest spots from Diamond District rapper yU and the rest of The Black Opera crew, plus beats from Audible Doctor and more. Nice album cover too. Let us know what you think.
Michael Christmas – ‘Home’
If this track is anything to go by, life seems to be good for Michael Christmas, although life surely can’t ever be too bad when you have such a festive name. No word on if this is from a new album, but you can take a listen to Home below.
