Alright folks, are you ready for another dose of “Attack Of The Killer Demos”?.I’m quite sure you are, so without further delay I’m going to transport you all the way to Long Island NYC early 2000’s with Roc Marciano’s former group the UN, for some unreleased treats courtesy of those FROZEN FILE dudes (Scott Free & Matt Life)….

It’s not everyday that you get to hear west coast pioneer KING T open up about his musical beginnings, the formation and foundation of the LIKWIT CREW, squabbles with Tupac, Dr.Dre, Rhyme Syndicate management, etc…

When cats talk about the rich legacy of Hip Hop from this side – they better include T in the conversation or else all that yelling is invalid !!!!!

Over 50 minutes of heat..PEEP.

With a title like “Scope On Ya Head” you should already know your going to hear a lot of death threats, sucker MC manslaughter, boulevard bully talk, and all types of anti – social energy….Luckily BLAQ POET executes his modus operandi over a fresh beat by Japanese beat smith B.I.M.B….Turn the volume up a few notches..

Not sure if this off the “RETURN OF THE SP” album that dropped on Record Store Day, but PETE ROCK just uploaded a very fresh joint entitled “Dreamers” on his Soundcloud page that is worthy of your attention….If this is a indicator of what has up his sleeves for “Return Of The SP”- I need to track it down immediately…

PEEP-

I couldn’t help but notice that the WU-SYNDICATE has been very active lately….

MYALANSKI & JOE MAFIA deserve credit for updating their formula and still keeping it gritty after all these years…On “Parental Discretion” they continue their streak of supplying multi syllables over crime cinema type beats…

Former SCHOOL OF SHARKS representative Lex Boogie and Tone Beats released the “Old Habits Die Hard” EP this month..Bronx slick talk combined with dusty soundscapes is the steez..

PEEP-

“Old Habits Die Hard

The fact is that it is HARD to stop doing things that I have been doing for such a long time. The longer you do something, the more ingrained it becomes, and the harder it is to change especially if you love it.
Over the years Tone Beats and myself Lex Boogie From the Bronx have come accustomed to making beats and creating songs, and at this point it is just part of who we are (Hip-Hop).
“Old Habits Die Hard” is a short 5 song ep we are presenting. The project is an example of what we do have been doing and how we vibe. We have recorded several songs over the years for our upcoming release titled 10456 and wanted to give glimpse of what’s to come with this EP. The later project represents where I’m from but the perspective presented on this EP is an excerpt or some insight on where I am.
The 5 songs where recorded over the course of 2 weeks, and a trip to Augusta to visit Tone, all while maintaining my day to day, handling my responsibilities as a man and living this ART life”.

“MARCH 1, 2019,—Underground rapper MF Grimm, together with Day By Day Entertainment and Vendetta Vinyl, announced today the release of the artist’s latest album, American Hunger: Rebirth Vol. 2 Trials, Tribulations, Humiliation and Elevation. The 11-track album, produced by Drasar Monumental, will be available worldwide across all major streaming platforms, beginning March 15. Once a date on the Roman calendar known for settling debts, ‘The Ides of March’ became synonymous with the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 B.C. The Ides plays a recurring thematic throughout the album whose first single, Still My Love, is available now.

American Hunger: Rebirth Vol. 2 features digitally re-mastered vocals from MF Grimm’s 2006 release, American Hunger. The first triple-album in hip-hop history, American Hunger was highly lauded by fans and media alike.
“Most of us recognize the Ides of March for one of history’s most nefarious assassinations. What really resonated with me is that the crime was committed by someone close to Caesar, but still his legacy lives on,” said MF Grimm. “I know firsthand how trials and betrayals can take you down. But, these experiences led to the creation of this album – giving more depth to one of the greatest works of my life. This one is more personal, self-reflective and introspective.”
A New York native, MF Grimm has contributed to the hip-hop industry for more than 30 years as a rapper, producer and label executive. As an artist, he has released five solo albums, five collaborative albums and two compilation albums. MF Grimm has continued to create despite being paralyzed from the waist-down, the result of a shooting in 1994.

MF Grimm previously partnered with Drasar Monumental on a three-part conceptual series of albums including Good Morning Vietnam (2012), Good Morning Vietnam 2: The Golden Triangle (2013) and Good Morning Vietnam 3: The Phoenix Program. The EPs were released under Vendetta Vinyl & Day By Day Entertainment.
In addition to digital, fans may purchase the single Still My Love on 7-inch at VendettaVinylVietnam.com. Other American Hunger: Rebirth Vol. 2 tracks include Fuck You, American Hunger (?), Streets, Give, Right There, Page Six, The Whole World, Children of Abel, Simple Rhyme and Lift Me Up.

The album’s artwork was designed by Scotch79th”.
