Remember Afu-Ra, the Gang Starr Foundation/DJ Premier/Jeru Tha Damaja affiliate who dropped the Life Force Radio album back in 2002? Well, he’s still making music, and you can watch the video for new track Cobra Clutch below. It’s taken from The Master Chef album, coming soon.
If you haven’t yet heard the brilliant If There’s A Hell Below from Black Milk, then you’ve been sleeping on one of the best albums of last year. The Detroit producer/rapper has also now gifted us an instrumental version, which you can hear below and buy from the link below.

Canibus has dropped a new freestyle, with Kool G Rap roped in for good measure. It’s short and sounds a little dated, but still worth checking out. Listen on the link below and decide for yourself.

Nautica Nagas from Planet Asia and DirtyDiggs is out now, and if you haven’t heard it yet, check the video for Grade A Ism below. Side note: Check Asia’s dancing at the end. Worthy of a Tony Yayo video.
There was only 300 copies of Run The Jewels special Record Store Day release, and alas, we didn’t find one. We still get to hear Bust No Moves though, and you get to hear it below too.

It’s been five years since we lost Guru, but the legend will live on as long as DJ Premier and others are around. A new video for Propaganda by rapper Avrex has also now surfaced, featuring Guru on guest vocals. It’s being released not only to mark his passing, but to raise funds for Guru’s family, and you can watch below.
The maestro 9th Wonder has remixed Top Prospect from rapper K-Hill, and it sounds lovely. It marks the release of 2005 album Stamps of Approval for download (until now it was CD only), and you can listen below.
Celph Titled is probably one of the most slept on emcees in hip-hop. He’s been dropping lyrical gems for years, and continues to impress. He’s back on new track Prince of Vengeance with Wildcard, and you can listen below.
