” True Masterz : Atomic Blast “
“Atomic Blast” is the 2nd leak from the ALGEMEST album by True Masterz due out in the near future….If I was you, I would put this duo on your radar – they are on a consistent streak when it comes to dropping raw, no-frills material…

” Milano Constantine 2015 “
I hope that we can get a new album from MILANO CONSTANTINE before the year comes to close – until then, his verse on “Hot Breath” with Sean Price and Lil Fame will suffice…
” Heatwave Session “
HEATWAVE SOUND comes to the dancehall equipped with a barrage of heavy selections for you to rock out with….41 minutes of pressure on deck…
DIGITAL-B RECORDS – XXXTRAHARD MIXTAPE 2015…

” Future Shock “
Raekwon & Diadora linked up earlier this year for the “CAPSULE COLLECTION” to lace all the die-hard OB4CL heads….
FRESH IS THE WORD…
“Launching on the last stop on this years’ “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…” Anniversary tour, the Packer x Raekwon “Purple Tape” Capsule Collection is designed and curated to offer interchangeable styling options that represent the cross-pollination of hip-hop into fashion and heritage footwear. Housed within the collection are the celebratory Diadora N.9000 “Purple Tape” edition , 2 “1995” NY Yankees New Era 59Fifty fitted baseball caps, 1 t-shirt, and 1 Made in Italy track jacket”.
” The Original Redman “
Do you really think it’s a coincidence that RZA rocked the BOBBY DIGITAL moniker years after the original BOBBY DIGITAL had already established himself firmly in Jamaica ? Do you really think it’s a coincidence that Reggie Noble chose the name REDMAN a decade after Jamaican producer Hugh “REDMAN” James laid down heavy groundwork on the dancehall set?
Maybe cats believe the audience are not concerned with history whatsoever and these issues would never come up – Or they just straight up bit their name….
HAHAHA….
Regardless Hugh “REDMAN” James was far from a slouch when it came to composing explosive riddims in the mid 80’s- early 90’s, and this comp of goodness is a fine example of that (Digital Roots Dancehall-REDMAN INTERNATIONAL)…
” Motion Man : Adult Situations “
It’s a damn shame that when cats talk about west coast Hip Hop shit – MOTION MAN’s name doesn’t pop up enough…This cat is truly in a class by himself when it comes to off-kilter, unorthodox stylings on the mic..
One of his most slept on offerings “Adult Situations” from 2010 is finally getting the wax treatment (HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD TOP PICKS – “Pouring You More Champagne”, “Your The Woman”, “Close Call” & “Tell Me What You Want” original version)…
“For his latest endeavor, he teams up with producers Unagi and Jethroe, for a concept album exploring the ins and outs of male-female relationships. Adult Situations covers all aspects of love, lust, courtship, seduction, and romance, with 12 tracks of freaky tales as only Motion Man can do it. Featuring guest appearances from Lyrical C and D’WYZE (of The B.U.M.S), plus remixes by KutMasta Kurt and TOMC3, it is relentlessly funky from start to finish.
This new version of the Download includes Bonus Remixes for Night Stroll, and Porno Mustache along with the Full Ableton Live Session files for Porno Mustache and Pouring You Mo Champagne. If you are an Ableton Live user, you will have all the Vocal and Musical elements at your disposal for DJ ing and remixing.
Don’t sleep! Only 500 hand numbered copies pressed for this 5th Anniversary Vinyl Edition!”
” Polo Avalanche “

” New Shit On Deck “
EMSKEE lets loose over rugged SP1200 chop work by Vinyl Veteran MAC MCRAW on “It’s About Time”…..Head over to the Cold Rock Stuff site and cop doubles while supplies last cuzzo, and when you head over there – tell them the grimey dude from HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD sent you!!!!…
Track Listing:
A1. It’s About Time (2015 Raw SP Version)
B1. It’s About Time (1995 Demo Version)
“Mac McRaw and underground New York emcee Emskee met purely by chance whilst sharing the same subway carriage in Brooklyn back in 2012. The following day they reconnected at Big City Records in Manhattan for the closing of the legendary store, leading them to discussing a possible collaboration project in the future. Fast forward to early 2015 and on hearing, and really feeling, Emskee’s unreleased 1995 Nick Wiz produced track ‘It’s About Time’, Mac asked Em about releasing it on a 7” with a McRaw remix on the flip. Emskee was totally down with the idea but came up with an even better one; revising his lyrics and re-recording them for a completely new version”.
” Doze Green Drops Jewelry “
“This past February 1xRUN brought legendary artist Doze Green back to Hawaii for POW!WOW Hawaii 2015 and in between painting a massive wall Green took some time to reminisce about the first time graffiti and Hip-Hop arrived to Hawaii.
In the early 1980’s Green came to Hawaii with the RockSteady Crew and left an unimaginable impression on the graffiti and hip-hop cultures across the entire island of Oahu. This in depth look with Doze Green also features interviews OG Slick, Brisk and Prime, as well as archival photos from Ricky Powell and Martha Cooper. Be sure to check out this exclusive video. Mahalo!”

WHOAH!!!!!
I gave JUS ALLAH’s long awaited 2nd solo album “MMA” some burn about a week ago…..If it was up to me “Thoughts” would get the certified wax single treatment, with “180” being the B-side…I also have to add that the beat by Anthropohagus is straight up ugly….Never heard of him before, but he is now officially on my radar..
