Malik B & Mr Green – ‘Rips in the Paper’/’Dark Streets’
Malik B and Mr Green have been spoiling us with new music from their Unpredictable album, and the onslaught continues with a video for Rips in the Paper. The flick is on a 70s video nasty slasher tip, which makes a nice change from the usual boring hip-hop visuals.
They have also released album track Dark Streets, featuring the one and only R.A. The Rugged Man. Watch and listen below.
Elzhi – ‘February’
Slum Village veteran Elzhi tells us about the perils of one of the most depressing months of the year with new track February. As you’d expect, there are some references to the death of his old friend J Dilla in there, who passed in February 2006.
Killah Priest – ‘Lotus Elephant’
Killah Priest has released a short, crazy-as-fuck video for new track Lotus Elephant, from his upcoming Prelude to the Planet of the Gods project, which itself should be coming later in the year. Confused? So are we.
See here for more new music from Killah Priest.
Murs – ‘The Strangest’
Murs is back with new track The Strangest, from his first new album since signing to Strange Music. If this is a glimpse of things to come, that new album looks set to be a banger.
Git Beats – ‘Superstar Shit’
Producer Git Beats presents new track Superstar Shit, featuring 1Mt, B.White and Jaz-O (as in Jay-Z’s mentor from back in the day). Its a dope joint, and you can check it out below.
Just Blaze – ‘Miracle’/’Moleskin Conclusion’
Just Blaze dropped two new instrumental tracks over the weekend, and you can listen to Miracle and the wonderfully-named Moleskin Conclusion below. The first track seems to have passed through the hands of the biggest in the game, none of which decided to use it. For what its worth, we could definitely hear Jay Electronica on both of these joints.
eMC – ‘The Tonite Show’ trailer
With so much talent involved, it was no surprise when 2008’s The Show album from eMC turned out to be a certified classic. If you didn’t know, eMC is the hip-hop super-group formed of the legendary Masta Ace, plus Wordsworth, Punchline and Stricklin. New album The Tonite Show drops in May, and with guest spots from Sadat X and beats by Diamond D, its looking like it could be another winner. Watch the official announcement video below.
Ghostface Killah and BADBADNOTGOOD – ‘Sour Soul’ (stream)
You can now listen to a full stream of Ghostface Killah and BADBADNOTGOOD album Sour Soul, just ahead of its official release. The set features plenty of classic Ghost lines, plus guest spots from MF Doom, Danny Brown and more. Speaking of DOOM, now that this album is out, hopefully they can get moving on that long, long awaited GhostDOOM/DOOMStarks/whatever else they end up calling it album.
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.
