Impressive. It is good to know that my man John Graham is still in the hunt for “best musician that you still won’t pay attention to”. Hey, I’m just being honest here. He keeps bringing heat. Y’all need to pay attention. Period.

Chuuwee – Crown Me King (mixtape review)
Well, what do you know? I finally got a chance to make sure I reviewed Big Homie’s Chuuwee’s new stuff. Peep what I got for y’all…..
Excerpt: King Louis XIV was a king of the people (somewhat). He was a royalty that lived with the servants. Thus, he had an understanding of the commoner’s mentality. Chuuwee, on the same token, is a king amongst the underground/unknown. Also, he will go toe to toe with anyone that contests his beliefs. Thus, with Crown Me King, Chuuwee continues his monarchy on the mic.
Peep it all out here……..

Big K.R.I.T. x Roots on Jimmy Fallon
K.R.I.T. works damn good with a live band backing up the country funk that he brings. I sense another classic coming from his first major full length album. I cannot wait until it drops. It needs to be everything we hoped for. That is all I have to say about that.

Clemm Rishad – The Beginning
Got this track early last week in my inbox and the beat just brought a smile to my face. Lovely. Known already as 1/2 of the Grammy nominated, platinum songwriting duo Writers Block (Nicki Minaj’s “Fly”), Tacoma’s Clemm Rishad drops the title track from his upcoming project “The Beginning”.

Noah Caine – Last of a Dying Breed
“The weather’s heating up and so is Noah Caine! The Queens emcee releases some new material. Look out for some visuals from his previous effort ‘The Pre-Season‘ soon.” Noah’s been one of my favorite discoveries this year and if you haven’t checked him out yet, I strongly urge you do so. Doesn’t hurt that he’s from the borough that I know and love, QUEENS!

Dead End Hip Hop -Growth vs. Selling Out
Dead End Hip Hop (aka some of the other people I write for) actually wanted to have this conversation. I think it is worthwhile to know the difference between trying something new and trying to make more money. Now that I think about it, MMG (Wale, etc.) has a penchant for doing things to move more units. So, when people say they are selling out, it makes sense.
Peep what they have to say about it all.

Curren$y feat. Daz – Fast Cars, Faster Women (video)
The Stoned Immaculate is coming soon to ears near you. It may be your ears. It may be your baby momma’s ears. However it happens, just be on the look out. This album must bang. It must.

Ab-Soul feat. Kendrick Lamar, ScHoolboy Q & Jay Rock – Black Lip Bastard (rmx)
Well, I guess this is the last drop from this album. Dope ass posse cut, by the way. They all do what they do best. Expect nothing less but what they do. Oh, and please take time to understand what the artwork really means. Its the Kabbalah Tree of Life, not the Illuminati.

Swizz Beatz Feat. A$AP Rocky – Street Knock
Hey, the video fits the song. Meanwhile, Swizz’s beat surely melds the recent (his own adlibs) with the old (the keyboardish sounds and bleeps). A$AP Rocky is a mixture of old style with new style. This song works. So does the video. Will be giving this a few more spins.

CorMega feat. Action Bronson, Roc Marciano and Saigon – M.A.R.S. (video)
Many say that they want a full length album from them. Others say that they are a “fake Slaughterhouse”. I can only say that this song is dope as all get out. Plus, its produced by The Large Professor. Thus, whether they drop a full length is irrelevant. Them being a fake supergroup is irrelevant. The relevant is this: the beat is fresh, the lyrics are on point, and people need to be quiet and listen. That includes me at the moment.
