Marvelous Mag and Hus Kingpin – ‘Cafe Music’

QNC – ‘At The Same Time’ feat. Lil Fame
Lil Fame from M.O.P. joins QNC (Q Ball and Curt Cazal) on this dope-as-fuck joint. Simple but effective beat, creative verses and a fly hook. What more could you ask for? Listen below, then cop it here (including b-side Demo).
Lone Catalysts – ‘Age of Aquarian’
Dope Folk Records have dropped another lost jewel from Lone Catalysts (J Rawls and J Sands), and its an absolute banger. Its from the The Prequel 94-96 EP, which also features the previous tracks we reported on, Hot This Year/Rhyme & Uplift. J Rawls was one of the best producers from the late 90s indy area, and its a crying shame he’s not more active now. Listen below, and let us know what you think.
