Lil Fame from M.O.P. joins QNC (Q Ball and Curt Cazal) on this dope-as-fuck joint. Simple but effective beat, creative verses and a fly hook. What more could you ask for? Listen below, then cop it here (including b-side Demo).

Lone Catalysts – ‘Age of Aquarian’
Dope Folk Records have dropped another lost jewel from Lone Catalysts (J Rawls and J Sands), and its an absolute banger. Its from the The Prequel 94-96 EP, which also features the previous tracks we reported on, Hot This Year/Rhyme & Uplift. J Rawls was one of the best producers from the late 90s indy area, and its a crying shame he’s not more active now. Listen below, and let us know what you think.
Vursatyl – ‘It’s Nothin’
Vursatyl continues the run of singles from his impressive Crooked Straights album with a new video. Watch the video for It’s Nothin’ below, and let us know if you like it. For those who haven’t yet checked out the full album, do it now.
Spectacular Diagnostics – ‘Raw Game’
We loved the Raw Exotic EP from Spectacular Diagnostics, and the new full-length Raw Game album is dope too. With rich beats and guest spots from the likes of Quelle Chris, its definitely worthy of your time. Nice artwork too. Stream below, and hit us with your comments.
Wordsworth – ‘New Beginning’
The latest album from eMC is still on heavy rotation, but Wordsworth is already on to the next joint, this time a collaboration with Donel Smokes for an album named New Beginning. Watch below for the video for the lead single.
Edo.G – ‘Sorta Way’ (remix)
Boston legend Edo.G has dropped this new video for the DJ Shean remix of Sorta Way, one of the standout cuts from the recent Afterwords album with Street Wyze. Watch below, and let us know what you think.
The MTN Man – ‘The Alligator’s Belly’
This rugged little gem is from New Jersey’s The MTN Man, who we confess to knowing absolutely nothing about until this crept onto our radar. It boasts a nice beat from K-Def, and you can check the video below.
UPDATE: The track is also now available to download – see here.
Mr. Lif – ‘Terra Bella’
Indy legend Mr. Lif is back with a new project named Terra Bella, alongside Ayla Nereo and The Polish Ambassador. Guests on the album include Jurassic 5 stalwart Chali 2na and Zion I rapper Baba Zumbi, and it sounds kind of dope. Stream and download below, but do consider Mr. Lif’s plea for a donation. Its only right.
Guilty Simpson – ‘Animal’
Stones Throw have very quietly dropped another new single from Guilty Simpson, following on from last month’s Vanguard Operation. Details about the new upcoming album with Katalyst are still thin on the ground, but its shaping up to be a good project from what we’ve heard so far. Listen to Animal on the link below.
Listen here.
K-Def – ‘The Turning Point’
Supreme beatmaker K-Def has released yet another quality instrumental album, packed with dope beats from his archives. It follows recent projects Quick Picks and Take 2, and you can listen to the new collection below. Our only negative comment about this and the other recent ones: K-Def, please get someone to do you some better artwork!
