Jim Jones – “My Era” feat. Maino x Drama (Video)
Marlon Craft – “Gang Sh!t” (Video)
When the world won’t give you nothing, sh!t, you gone steal!
Deep. RAW!
Marlon Craft starts right off with a cop riding for his ‘gang’ #BoysInBlue
And then he goes to a Trump-supporting Klansman riding for his ‘gang’ #BoysInWhiteHoods
And he wraps the rap with a Black man who was riding for his ‘gang’… AND who was the only one of the three ‘gang’ bangers who went to jail. #IronyInTheHood
Because ‘Murica. Damn.
Check out “Gang Sh!t” off the forthcoming “Funhouse Mirror” LP.

DJ Khaled – “Big Boy Talk” feat. Jeezy x Rick Ross
This is why it is good to squash beef whenever possible. Remember that friction between Jeezy and Rozay back in the day? No? Good! DJ Khaled throwing on a beat and letting Jeezy & Rick Ross put some “Big Boy Talk” on it oughta lay that memory to rest for the rest who do. Press play! More proof that “Father Of Asahd” got that WORK!

Diamond D – “Maintaining” feat. Lord Tariq x Peter Gunz x A-Kash (Video)
Take half of that and buy a bird. That’s that Aflac!
Hot damn! Here we go again! That flame from “The Diam Piece 2” furnace… Golden Era heat over that Diamond D beats… FIRE! Lord Tariq, Peter Gunz, and A-Kash. They’re just “Maintaining”… that all.

Curren$y x Statik Selektah – “Friend Or Foe” feat. Kyra Corea (Video)
JET LIFE!
Curren$y & Statik Selektah got things to do, son! But give thanks that they dropped off this “Friend Or Foe” (additional vocals by Kyra Corea) though. Must have been high on the to-do list. “Gran Turismo” is out now!

DOPE! Good look for the Snowgoons AND for Hip-Hop. Great lineup to rep the Golden Era lovely, too. BANGERRR! “Snowgoons Infantry” is chock full of collabo tracks like this, and it is out NOW!

Diggy – “Goin” (Video)
Nothing to hate on in this video. Nothing but fun. Diggy getting jiggy with the kids at the play court, then from ‘play date’ to real date with a playmate in the fly ride. Sporting the dope threads throughout, keeping it all Hip-Hop for the Heads. Good work. Respek on the name Diggy!
Off the “Lighten Up” LP (out now).

Beast Coast Speaks On How They Formed Up ‘Like Voltron’ & On Their “Escape From New York” (Video)
Joseph BAD MAN made sure to be part of the interview, though he could not be there in person. Because this is a surfable WAVE! Glad I caught this a la YouTube’s suggested content, brah. Beast Coast. Not just a channel or a fly-by-night clique. More like the new wave Native Tongues movement. Whoa. WAVE!
The members of Flatbush Zombies, Pro Era, and The Underachievers come together as Beast Coast, and release their brand new album ‘Escape From New York.’
They sit down with Rosenberg on ‘Real Late’ to discuss how they came together, their project, what’s next in their careers, and even had some time for tv and sports talk!
– HOT 97
Full studio. And there are still more members out and about.
(And RESPEK on their names for getting into the ‘rasslin talk HEAVY!)

Method Man – “Hip Hop” (Video)
Method Man with more dirty-like-that dopeness from “Meth Lab 2: The Lithium.” This one is what it is… It is “Hip Hop.”

DJ Khaled – “Weather The Storm” feat. Meek Mill x Lil Baby (Video)
Another one. There is just no stopping DJ Khaled or the onslaught of emcees with him on his “Father Of Asahd” LP. All suckas can hope to do is “Weather The Storm.”

Bun B x Statik Selektah – “TBA” feat. Propain x Killa Kyleon (Video)
Holy sh!t!!!!
I just got a look at the playlist and feature artists on “TrillStatik” by Bun B and Statik Selektah. Those two alone are intriguing enough to raise an eyebrow and interest in the product of their collaboration. But the combined power of all the contributors… wowwww!
Check out this “TBA” for example. POWER!

DJ Khaled – “Holy Mountain” feat. Buju Banton x Sizzla x Mavado x 070 Shake (Video)
One spliff a day’ll keep the evil away!
Blow it all away, all the way off the “Holy Mountain” with Buju Banton and Sizzla and Mavado and 070 Shake. BLOW!
Damn if DJ Khaled don’t be behind them bangers! Check out this “Holy Mountain” and if you are blessed with it… LIGHT IT UP! BURN IT UP! MORE FI-YAAH!
(And if you have to ask what ‘it’ is. Don’t worry about it. Plus, if you are at work, ‘it’ is probably something you should not be ‘lighting’ up anyway. Haa!)

Sorry, Ms. Jackson. But for real… this version that SZA did for DJ Khaled’s “Father Of Asahd” LP is that FIRE! Check out the video.
