[Hip-Hop] Talib Kweli – Attack The Block (Mixtape)

Posted by Baseer Ahmad - September 4, 2012

Talib Kweli is one of the lyrical masters of the game, so when he puts out free music, it’s a good idea to pay attention. Attack The Block may serve as a teaser to his upcoming album, Prisoner of Conscious, but it’s definitely a standout project all on its own. The 18-track project features verses from an eclectic group of artists including Black Thought, Lil Wayne, Mac Miller, Ryan Leslie, Ab-Soul, Das Racist, and even more. It’s this diverse selection of artists that really makes the mixtape distinctive from Kweli’s previous ventures.

[Hip-Hop] Busdriver – Firehydrant (ft. Das Racist)

Posted by Ash El Gamal - August 17, 2012

LA underground favorite, Busdriver, is best known for his unique style and absurdly fast and intelligent raps. On his most recent track, he teams up with Das Racist to create a strangely captivating display of quick-witted, unconventional lyricism. The production on “Firehydrant” toes the line between postmodern and obnoxious combining a plethora of unlikely sounds. However, the weirdness of all three emcees manages to emerge triumphant and, upon a few repeats, you will more than likely find the instrumental growing on you. Make sure to listen closely, as you’ll find a surprising amount of valuable content between the lines. Stream and download this original track below and look out for Busdriver’s upcoming Free EP, Arguments With Dreams, out next month.

[Hip-Hop] Das Racist & Talib Kweli – The Actual

Posted by Ash El Gamal - July 11, 2012

Two NYC legends link up for a showcase of east coast lyricism. Das Racist has one of the most unique sounds of anyone making rap music and on this track Heems, one half of the group, goes off with his stream-of-consciousness flow. We already know what to expect from Brooklyn MC Talib Kweli, who spits effortlessly over the classic, horn-driven production. A must listen for anyone who thinks hip-hop is a dying genre.
