Just when we thought we’d had all the proof we needed that DJ EFN album Another Time was a banger, we get yet another single from it, and this one features the sick line-up of Ras Kass and Black Milk among others. Listen below and go buy the album.

DJ Jeff cuts up Peter Piper to perfection

Mos Def covers MF Doom classics
We may have been duped by that MF Doom/Flying Lotus April Fool’s gag, but this selection of video clips with Mos Def covering classic joints is definitely real. Watch the whole thing below, and join us in dreaming about how amazing it would be if BEYONDOOM ever became a full-on project.

J-Live – ‘His Own Self’ album stream

Camp Lo – ‘Bright Lights’
Camp Lo are finally about to release a new project, including beat work from their long-time collaborator Ski Beatz. Ragtime Hightimes will hit stores on May 19 courtesy of Nature Sounds, and today we’ve been gifted first single Bright Lights. Watch below, and let us know what you think.
MF Doom announces ‘Mask of the North Star’ with Flying Lotus
UPDATE: So it looks like the whole thing was a hilarious April Fool’s joke. Thanks for playing with our hearts, fuckers. Part of us STILL thinks it might be real though. Stranger things have happened.
Its no secret that we wet our pants anytime there’s new music from MF DOOM, and so its safe to say the news about an upcoming album with Flying Lotus has us very excited. The collaborative Mask of the North Star album will drop May 5 on Lex Recordings, with a host of guest appearances. Incredibly, the list includes El-P, and Quasimoto, which is surely a good sign for that long-awaited new Madvillain project. The coming together of Fly Lo and DOOM also explains why they are set to share the stage together in London on May 5, a show which we are happy to say we’ll be at. In the meantime, he’s the only bit of music from the new album we’ve had so far; Masquatch.
