Skyzoo – ‘Hands Folded Together’ feat. Elzhi
The new drops from Skyzoo and his upcoming Music For My Friends album continue with Hands Folded Together. This one features Elzhi on guest vocals, and it sounds pretty nice. Listen below, and look out for that album coming in the next few days.
Kool Keith & L’Orange – ‘The Traveller’ feat. J-Live
Take one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time. Get them in the studio with one of the best producers to emerge in the last few years. Watch the magic happen. Thats roughly how we hope the newly-announced Time? Astonishing! album from Kool Keith and L’Orange was put together. Anyone who copped the Persona compilation album from Mello Music Group will have already heard them as a team, but this could be one epic album when it arrives. J-Live appears on first single The Traveller, and you can hear it on the link below. Watch this space for more news.
Listen here.
Black Milk – ‘Story And Her’
Black Milk is back with a new video, this time for Story And Her, from his brilliant If There’s A Hell Below project. If you’ve heard the album as many times as we have, you’ll be familiar with the track, but its nice to get some visuals too. Watch below.
Edo.G – ‘Afterwards’ album sampler
Boston legend Edo.G is gearing up for the release of new album Afterwards, which is a collaboration with production team Street Wyze, with this short but dope sampler. Take a listen below, and look out for the full version when it drops.
Shabaam Sahdeeq – ‘GMR’
Indie stalwart Shabaam Sahdeeq is back with this new joint, boasting cuts from DJ Eclipse and a beat from J57. With this much talent on offer, its a certified banger, and you can check it out below. If you are quick, you might also be able to cop a limited edition t-shirt featuring the artwork, designed and hand painted by Sahdeeq himself.
Byron The Aquarius – ‘J D I L L A WHAT UP DOE VOL.1’
You can never have too many J Dilla tributes, and this one from producer Byron The Aquarius is a particularly good specimen. Its 13 tracks of solid beats inspired by the much-missed Yancey boy, and you can stream and buy it below.
The Addicts – ‘Embedded’
The Addicts is a group out of Florida new on our radar, but with classic boom bap joints for days. Already being championed by DJ Premier and others, we look forward to hearing more from crew members Menace and Bliz when their This Is For Us album drops in August. In the meantime, watch the video for Embedded below.
Magestik – ‘Just Enough For The City’
This latest offering from the dope Legend Has It album by The Black Opera rapper Magestik features a beat from 14KT. Listen below, then go get that album if you haven’t yet.
Mr Green – ‘Step Into The Booth’
The latest video from Mr Green and his amazing Live From The Street project sees the team head south of the border, down Mexico way. There they find a talented ‘big guitar’ player, who provides a nice lick for album track Step Into The Booth, with vocals from Toronto rapper Raz Fresco.
