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!
House Shoes – ‘Magic’ mix
We fucking love a good House Shoes mix. Not many hip-hop deejays have knowledge as detailed and varied as he, plus the skills to present it in the dopest of ways. Check his latest mix below, snatched from a recent episode of his monthly radio show on Dublab.
R.A.W. – ‘Herbal Intercourse’
After their recent banging track with M.O.P. stalwart Lil Fame, R.A.W. are back with new single Herbal Intercourse. Its another headnodder, featuring Gang Starr and Redman samples cut up to perfection. If you didn’t know, the group is made up of DJ Skizz and Problemz, and the single is from new EP Right Amount of Wrong. Check it out below.
Gangrene – ‘Reversals’
The release date for new Gangrene album You Disgust Me from Oh No and Alchemist is fast approaching, and they are keeping the hype moving with the dope new single Reversals. This time its Oh on the beat, and it sounds real nice. Good verse from Al too, showing just how much he’s grown as an emcee recently. Listen below, and pre-order the album here.
Inner City Kids – ‘Rap Money’
Aaron Cohen is fairly new on our radar, but we are feeling this dope new single, with guest spots from his Inner City Kids cohorts AbGoHard and Spaceman. It’s taken from the Home Less EP, and you can listen below. We look forward to hearing more from the crew soon.
Mikey D’Struction – ‘Back to the Future’
Veteran Mikey D’Struction is back with this absolute banger. He spits fire over a nice beat from Trouble, and you can listen below.
Finale – ‘The Revival’
The Oddisee produced new album from Finale is coming next month, and from what we’ve heard to far, should be dope. The latest drop is The Revival, which benefits from a fast-paced and funky beat from Oddisee. Listen below, and look for Odds & Ends when it arrives August 14.
