The man who will always be known first and foremost in our minds as Mos Def drops this new politically-charged joint. Released to coincide with the anniversary of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s death, it was reportedly recorded just yesterday, in Paris. Listen below.

Talib Kweli – ‘Fuck The Money’
Talib Kweli has dropped this new single out of nowhere, as what looks to be an appetizer for a new, free album named Fuck The Money dropping real soon. Musically its a drastic change of pace, but the content of the verses is as relevant and raw as ever. Listen below and let us know what you think.
Semi Hendrix – ‘#4081’
Mello Music Group have introduced a new group, the brilliantly-named Semi Hendrix, and this first single from them is pretty awesome. Referencing a certain A Tribe Called Quest lyric we’re all very familiar with, the track has fast flows, a nice beat, and a guest spot from Ras Kass. Listen below, and look out for more from the group soon.
Sean Price – ‘Soul Perfect’ feat. Illa Ghee & Royal Flush
In our second post of the day about fallen legend Sean Price, here’s another release from upcoming mixtape Songs In The Key of Price. This one features Illa Ghee and Royal Flush, and is another banger. Listen below.
Sean Price – ‘Planet Apes’
Before his sad death last weekend, Sean Price and Duck Down Records were busy prepping the release of new mixtape, Songs In The Key of Price. The record will still drop next week, albeit now with a deeper meaning and impact. Listen to Planet Apes from the project below, with a nice beat from PF Cuttin’.
Schama Noel – ‘Real Hip-hop’
This new track from Schama Noel is simple but effective. Dope beat, dope rhymes. We don’t know much about the Florida-based artist who also goes by the name The Rapper Emulator, but we look forward to hearing more soon. Listen below.
Dom Pachino – ‘Warheadz’
Wu-Tang Clan affiliates Dom Pachino (Killarmy) and Bronze Nazareth connect on this joint from Pachino’s new album, War Poetry. It gets a little boring, and it’s kind of ridiculous that those Killarmy boys are still so obsessed with war and military imagery, but this joint is nevertheless worth a listen.
Verbal Kent – ‘Notes’
Ugly Hero man Verbal Kent is gearing up for the release of new album Anesthesia with this video for Notes. It’s a well done flick with a good story, and the music is dope too. Watch below, and keep your eyes peeled for the album on September 11.
Mac Miller – ‘Pet Sounds’ feat. Sean Price
Mac Miller has posted this unreleased track recorded with Sean Price, who we all know tragically died last weekend. It has a banging beat from Nottz, and sounds nice. Listen below.
Guilty Simpson – ‘Fractured’
After two drops with not much detail, we now know that the new album from Guilty Simpson will be named Detroit’s Son. It’s set to be released September 11, and you can hear the latest single Fractured below.
