Skyzoo x Pete Rock – “Eastern Conference All​-​Stars” feat. Westside Gunn x Conway x Benny The Butcher x eLZhi
I mean. It wasn’t like “Retropolitan” wasn’t fair already. Just Skyzoo & Pete Rock is enough of a team to make the fans AND the haters scream (joy and PAIN)!
Now we get this lineup on a single. Wow! “Eastern Conference All​-​Stars” is definitely an appropriate title.

Diamond D – “I Can’t Lose” feat. eLZhi x Blake Moses (Video)

eLZhi x Ras Kass x M-Dot x Large Professor – “Reaganomics” (Prod. By B Leafs)
For days we stay in slumber, still pray to tainted alters, kids trained to gain and conquer.
– M-Dot
I remember the “Reaganomics” era. Great time for music, but the White House and major corporations… let’s just say they were not always looking out for us over there in the day. But knowing that, and spreading the word about it, gave rise to some of the best Hip-Hop music ever.
So, is this work worthy in light of what the title implies? Well, seeing the line-up, I’mma go on and say HELL YEAH! But I’m still gonna listen (as should you).
Elzhi, Ras Kass, M-Dot and Large Pro is one of the most legendary line-ups you’re going to see this year. “Reaganomics” is a legacy that’s endured almost four decades and is more relevant now than it was back in the 80’s when the [Anti-Robin Hood] concept was scribbled down on Bonzo’s napkin. For those in the dark about the system, it’s where corporations/wealthy lined their pockets from the taxation of the middle class, creating huge national debt and unredeemable budget deficits which forced future administrations to cut funding for social programs. 4 legends tackle the topic with their 4 unique perspectives, in the 4 unique styles you know and love them for. “Reaganomics” is produced by B Leafs off his upcoming debut album “The Horizon” out Jan 29th.

Ace Clark – “Maxine” feat. eLZhi
Dope!
Usually, the midday (and sometimes midnight) hour is reserved for whatever Eye Candy we come across. But sometimes, we get Ear Candy that must be shared NOW! Like this…
“Part of Your Hearts Been Stolen”…. Maxine is a story of love, loss, betrayal, and friendship. Ace and Elzhi paint the ultimate love triangle on “Maxine”
Pure Order (God’s Gift x N-Fa’Nit) – “Work In Progress” feat. eLZhi (Prod. By Oh No)
A jawn so dope it would “blow the mind of Einstein and shock Tesla“… Daaaayummmmm! This “Work In Progress” is already done, son! The banger is off the “Sword of Élan Vitál” EP by Pure Order (out now).
Inspired by the motivation of all creatives from graffiti artists, to athletes, to street performers, “Work In Progress” distinguishes the perspective of artists who are disciplined enough to work at elevating their craft, from that of those who cowardly dumb their art down to fit in. True bravery is also facing the “one step forward, two steps back” struggle all true artists, as a representation of all humanity, have to face, with a drive to push higher. Elzhi, God’s Gift and N-Fa’Nit dare to raise the bar of lyrical creativity on an electrifying beat by Oh No.

Stik Figa – “Down Payment” feat. Elzhi (Prod. By Nottz) [Video]
Yooooo! Lookit what I found digging around the inbox. Can’t believe the dopeness the Interwebs just leaves lying around. This vid is for the single from the album “Central Standard Time” by Stik Figa. Recognize eLZhi on the feature. Recognize the beat work of super-producer Nottz. Respect!
Shot on location in Stik Figa’s native central Topeka, Kansas. The video and song for ‘Down Payment’ introduce listeners to the many sides of Stik Figa as it relates to his earning a living. Hard work isn’t glamorous, but somebody gotta do it!

ChanHays – “Running” feat. Skyzoo x Uptown XO x Elzhi
Yooo! This jawn right here dude. It will have you exclaiming, “WHO is this ChanHays cat?!!?” Normal reassurers might respond, “Don’t worry about it.”
But eff that! WORRY! This artist is gonna be a problem for a long while. And though you might not know ChanHays, but looking at this upcoming album’s credits, Conway The Machine, Roc Marciano, Pharoahe Monch, Rapper Big Pooh, Homeboy Sandman, Masta Ace, and several more feature artists do! And ChanHays’ “Running” (featuring Skyzoo, Uptown XO & eLZhi) is an apropos intro. Facts! Straight Outta Halifax with it.

Will Sessions – “Knowledge Of 12th” feat. eLZhi
Dooooope! Sounds like watching Black hero flicks from the ’70s. Opening montage, with some dude walking up the block to kick down a door and regulate in the next scene. He’d be on some bout-to-kick-some-azz. Right on point, because on this Will Sessions-produced track, eLZhi is ’bout to kick some lyrics!

eLZhi – “coSIGN” feat. Skonie
Trying to snatch a dream outta nightmare…
– eLZhi
Doing it all without a cosign. Apparently there was some (a lot of) question as to whether eLZhi would deliver on his Kickstarter-funded forthcoming album (oops… cat’s out… just told y’all it’s forthcoming). Welp, check out “coSIGN” (featuring Skonie), the first leak from the project on the way!

“I always beat myself up, like a producer rhyming.”
– Elzhi
Shiiiiiiiiiid! This is it, right here. The Soundcloud for this “P.S.” jawn was tagged with a #BackersOnly hash for; like it’s for the fans and supporters (e.g. folks that are ‘backing’ him). Ought to have a #BackPackersOnly tag, too. Lyricism on 10; and that icy hot boom bap beat…whew!
This is a loosey that will NOT be on Elzhi’s forthcoming “Lead Poison” album. Stream it above, and cop it via the link below if you want a copy. Very smooth. Very dope.
