DZ The Unknown – “Thunder Slap” feat. Celph Titled x M-Dot x Esoteric x Big Shug (Prod. By C-Lance)

So the homie Revalation (of EMS) hit me in the Instagram inbox during my late summer hiatus (the only time I really check that box)… and Sun was right on time! He was like…

HUGE Posse Cut w/Celph Titled, Esoteric, M-Dot & Big Shug. Peep when you can 🙏

And I was like… [thinking] Okay, Rev has always been cool to me on Facebook. Interacting for real. Not just hitting me for ‘favors’ but actually interacting, So I will give it a ‘respect listen’ as such. And I did. Then I was like…

Yoooooooo Rev! That’s that EVILLLLLLL!!! Thanks for keeping me looped in. On hiatus for the most part but back to blogging on JayForce starting Sep.

And I got back to it this month… to a mound of stuff to post for the month, but now (drum roll) I present…

“Thunder Slap” is a voltron style collaboration that brings together four underground Hip-Hop institutions in Army of the Pharoahs, EMS, Gangstarr and Czarface as Celph Titled, M-Dot, Big Shug and Esoteric amalgamate with upcoming artist DZ The Unknown for this whiplash inducing slapper… You might not of heard the name DZ The Unknown before but after you hear this tune you won’t be forgetting it anytime soon, “Thunder Slap” is produced by C-Lance [Vinnie Paz, Apathy, Action Bronson].

And you are right, DZ The Unknown – coming straight out of North Battleford, Saskatchewan (Canada). A’ight. I didn’t know before. But now I know. And I will NOT slip or sleep again!! You are on my radar.

Declaration: Respek on the name DZ The Unknown and the collabo crew on here that brought him out right!

And shout to Rev for bringing it all to my inbox.

Murs – “H-U-S-T-L-E” feat. John Cena (Prod. By 9th Wonder) [Video]

Baaahahaaa! John Cena was wilding in the end, wasn’t he?

I actually remember this song from a while back. I think it was when Cena was really really trying to rap as much (or more) than ‘rassle. Now the joint finally gets the visual treatment.

Murs clocking in with a lot of stunts, too. That leap out of the car got me at first (good editing); had me thinking Murs was a gymnast in an earlier life with that dismount.

T.I., Killer Mike, And David Banner Speak On Community Building & Hood Economics (Video)

You’re already free. Now, act like it!
Killer Mike

Okay, ComplexCon got something here. I mean, that Revolt TV panel event (here) was pretty dope… but this panel event is FIRE!

Killer Mike joins friends Clifford “T.I.” Harris and David Banner for an honest conversation on the economic issues facing neighborhoods of color. The rappers-turned-businessmen share their personal perspective on the importance of buying back, rebuilding, and transforming those communities for the better. In the spirit of giving back, they also discuss the value in teaching kids how to better themselves, and the benefits of working a legitimate job instead of hustling.
