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.
Opio & Free the Robots – ‘Let the Bass Go’
Opio from Souls of Mischief/Hieroglyphics has teamed up with producer Free the Robots for the upcoming The Subconscious Mind EP. Watch the trippy video for single Let the Bass Go below, and let us know what you think.
Your Old Droog – Instrumentals
Your Old Droog’s self-titled album was one of the most impressive debuts we’ve heard in years, and now producer El RTNC has released an instrumental version. Stream the whole thing below, and let us know thoughts.
Big Shug – ‘Off Rip’
We recently got some snippets of Big Shug’s upcoming Triple Ogzus album, and now we’ve been treated to a video for single Off Rip, featuring Termanology and Singapore Kane. The beat is DJ Premier by numbers, but an average Primo beat is still better than most other producers. Listen out for Shug addressing that whole shady business with Solar that transpired after Guru’s death.
Red Pill – ‘Look What This World Did to Us’
Mello Music Group seem to have an endless run of dope releases, and they continue with Look What This World Did to Us by Red Pill, taken from his upcoming album of the same name.
J-PRIMZ – ‘Lemon Juice’ (produced by MF Doom)
We don’t know much about J-PRIMZ, but this first effort from them is a decent intro. Of course, it helps somewhat that the beat happens to be from MF Doom. Listen to Lemon Juice below and let us know thoughts.
Juggaknots – ‘Baby Pictures’
The Juggaknots were one of the most impressive groups to come out of that late 90s classic era of New York underground hip-hop. Not a whole lot has been heard of them since, but now boutique indy label Chopped Herring Records has dropped Baby Pictures, a collection of unreleased tracks and off-cuts. Listen to a few snippets below, and let us know what you think.
Malik B & Mr Green – ‘Crown of Thorns’
Former The Roots rapper Malik B and Mr Green release Crown of Thorns, another track from their forthcoming Unpredictable album.
