I gotta say Elzhi killed it the best on this one. His flow and style is just always impressive (just my opinion). The song is just ill all around. Real Hip Hop, no plots, story lines or anything, just a dope beat and dope rhymes. Just like I like it. That is all.

Three of the D’s finest collaborate on this insane track from Black Milk’s upcoming project Album of The Year which drops September 14th.

Evidence first single "To Be Continued.." off his anticipated Rhymesayers Entertainment release "Cats & Dogs" album. Directed by Jason Goldwatch the video features Evidence on a rollercoaster! My question is, How many takes did this video take ??

Song available on iTunes as of today, it was produced by Sid Roams with cuts from DJ Revolution. And for all those producers, Rhymesayers & Evidence is holding a remix contest for this song, a cappellas are available with purchase of single.

This has to be one of my favorite videos by Kanye thus far. Its simple but perfectly executed. Good one Kanye.

Theres only one thing to say to this.. THIS IS HOW MC's ARE SUPPOSED TO RHYME!!!

Decatur Dan directs this one. This comes off of Laws’ new record on his 5:01 Overtime project which is out now. For this song he goes in on an Outkast classic we all know.

Directed by Rik Cordero, this isnt your ordinary video! Taking place in a post- apocalyptic post WW2 Europe, with an theme that correlates with the message of the song. Very intense!

One of Zane One's many strengths is her ability to convey a unique and exciting view of Los Angeles through her lyrics. The new video for "Zane One (L.A. Woman)," the Dert-produced single off of her debut album, L.A. Woman, highlights these talents and couples them with scenes seemingly taken straight from her everyday life. "I wanted to capture all the styles and flavor we have here; hip-hop in this city is amazing and so diverse," explains Zane. These ties to the city run in the family, too, as she is sister and cousin to members of the legendary Los Angeles underground group LPG. The clip includes shots of live performances, break dancing, and even Zane One's own children. "I guess the only 'message' I was trying to relay is how awesome women really are," she stated, a sentiment that resonates through her powerful rhymes. "I love being an L.A. Woman."

The Background:

To say that the art of hip-hop is in her blood would be a massive understatement if referring to Zane One. Zane is the last born daughter of a pastor/poet as well as sister and cousin to the members of the legendary Los Angeles underground group LPG. She has opened for Cody Chestnut, and wrote songs alongside John Villa Lobos. With 20 years of hip-hop under her belt, countless shows, classic projects and a strong, unique sense of fashion, Zane will not only remind you why female emcees belong in the game, but also how aggressive and skillful artistry can manifest where you least expect it. An example of that artistry is available now in the form of Zane One (L.A. Woman), Zane One's debut album, courtesy of AudioSketchBook / End Of Earth Records.

I've never heard of Andreya Triana before today and the web seems to be buzzing about this soulful singer. Rightfully so, she really captures your attention with her alluring voice and mysterious omnipresence; something that's lacking in todays R&B music (if you want to call it that). With an industry and society that overly 'sexed up' sometimes we all need to just chill out, right? It doesn't hurt that your chillin' with a beauty like Andreya either. Sit back and enjoy.

More info via Andreya Triana's Vimeo account:
Second single from Andreya Triana, 'A Town Called Obsolete', released on 26th July on Ninja Tune. Taken from her forthcoming debut album 'Lost Where I Belong' (23rd August), which is produced by Bonobo.

'A Town Called Obsolete' is an obliquely upbeat and heartfelt plea for patience and faith in the face of indifference. Triana's voice is perfect for this mixture of longing and hope, smokey, beautiful and tonally perfect. Bonobo, meanwhile, hooks up dusty break-drumming, thrumming electric bass and a horn part that peaks at just the right times. It's another example of the understated brilliance and emotional weight that the pair have packed into Triana's debut.

On the single remix duties are taken care of by the hotly-tipped Mount Kimbie.

Video produced and directed by Mister McCarthy and DOP Christopher Sabogal.
