Cormega (feat. Prodigy) - Thun & Kicko
You are not real. This is real.
Infamous Mobb - Mobb Niggaz
Maybe, just maybe, my favourite ever Alchemist beat. Unsung classic by some vastly underappreciated folk from Queens.
Ab-Soul “Terrorist Threats” ft. Danny Brown & Jhene Aiko
All three artists come off great on this track. This Ab-Soul album is getting huge praise all over the various internets that exist. I’m starting to see why.
Context - Drowning (prod. Great Skies) (Official Video)
Genuinely enjoyed this track a few months back when it made playlists on MTV etc. Nothing to do with the rapper either. The beat and video evokes a great mood.
NORE - Thiz Iz Hip Hop (prod. DJ Premier) (feat. Bumpy Knuckles)
You can’t dougie to this.
Oddisee drops a great rework of a Marvin Gaye classic.
“Ain’t That Peculiar”
From Oddisee’s “Odd Renditions” EP (Release: 15 May 2012) http://oddiseemusic.com
Kardinal Offishall - Ol’ Time Killin’
Classic. Kardi’s ‘Firestarr’ album from before Akon raped his soul was incredible.
Busta Rhymes & Rampage - Call The Ambulance
One of my favourite Neptunes beats. So simple. So gutter.
