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.
Action Bronson – ‘Terry’
Action Bronson brings us another step closer to that long-awaited Mr Wonderful album with the release of new single Terry. The beat is on a more laid back funky tip than what we usually get from Bronson, but its another banger from what’s shaping up to be the release of the year. Listen below and let us know what you think.
Lord Ron – ‘Fifty Shades of Rayz’ (C-Rayz Walz mix)
C-Rayz Walz has released a lot of music over the years, and some of it is pretty amazing. Lord Ron has linked up the best bits into a new mix, nicely titled Fifty Shades of Rayz. Listen below, then go back and re-listen to the albums C-Rayz Walz dropped on Def Jux circa 2003-2005.
Earl Sweatshirt – ‘Quest’/’Power’
Those Odd Future boys are a bit too crazy for us, but the kid Earl Sweatshirt can rap. Here’s two new tracks in one, presumably from his upcoming next album; the follow-up to the impressive Doris.
De La Soul x Nike SB 2015 trailer
The De La Soul x Nike SB 2015 sneakers are finally out, and a new trailer has been released to celebrate. Watch it below, then go get your pair before that eye-watering price tag gets even higher.
J Sands – ‘Please’
Lone Catalysts artist J Sands is back with a new track, from upcoming album The Poet Tree Of Life. Watch below and let us know what you think.
Big Shug – ‘Triple OGzuz’ (preview)
Gang Starr Foundation stalwart Big Shug is releasing his new album Triple OGzuz next month, and has dropped some sneak previews. As you’d expect, he’s enlisted old friend DJ Premier for a few of the beats, including lead track I Am Somebody. As for the artwork, well, this just might be one of the worst covers we’ve ever seen.
