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’
The Dirty Sample has dropped new track Three Sixty Five; another collaboration with Roc Marciano. Its taken from the producer’s stellar Raw Produce album, out now.
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.
Cannibal Ox – ‘Blade: The Art of Ox’
That long awaited new Cannibal Ox album is just around the corner, and the group have treated us to another track, Blade: The Art of Ox. This one features The Artifacts (both of em!), and Wu-Tang legend U-God. It’s also produced by Black Milk, which is always a sure-shot sign of quality.
J-Live – ‘Red & The Kid’
J-Live has gifted us another track from his upcoming album His Own Self. Red & the Kid is another banger from one of the most talented writers of all time, and you can check it out below.
