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.

Eye Candy: Look At Nneka Irobunda Dancing In High Heels… She Has A Gift! (Video)
My my MY! How is it that Nneka keeps doing that thing she does so well… so… well… HOT?!! Know what. I don’t even think it matters. It only matters that she does, and that she SHARES her gift.
That hip swizzle move she does really stirs my drink EVERY time. Have mercy! She is SO damn sexy. Without even trying.
(I mean, she is more than trying to dance. She’s incredible at that, as you can see. But that sexiness… that is NATURAL… Nneka makes it look easy.)

Sometimes it takes a good festival to have one of your favorite Hip-Hop groups rocking out on stage. Well, I want to say thank you to Hieroglyphics Crew who had Little Brother on the bill for Hiero Day 2019.

Phonte also shares with the crowd how back in 2003 Hieroglyphics took LB out on their first tour; something that they will always be thankful for! Watch, Comment, Enjoy, and Share!

Oh so cold! She cannot find a real lover, but there is one man she’ll ride for… That’s “Benjamin” (whoa, not even Diddy could have seen that one coming)! After all this years in the game, Akon is still kicking A-Game in his melodic storytelling style #Akonic

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.
