This makes me excited for Reks’ third LP, R.E.K.S (Rhythmatic Eternal King Supreme), which is scheduled to be released on March 8th, 2011 on Showoff/Brick Records. Tweet
This is an odd new video from Nick Javas. Primo on the boards so the song is of course heat and he reps Jersey so I gotta give it up for him (pause?) Tweet
Just look at the line-up: Preemo, The Teacher and the Great Grand Puba. Nothing More needs to be stated. This is off of DJ Premier’s upcoming Year Round Records compilation. DJ Premier f/KRS-One & Grand Puba- 5% [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Tweet
Group Home’s first album is one of my favorite albums of all time. It proves without question the genius of DJ Premier. He laced two mediocre mcs (although I always thought Lil Dap was dope) with disgustingly ill beats and crafted a classic. Supa Star is just such an example. Also, remember when videos were grimy like this? I miss those days. Tweet

This was an epic posse cut coming from the once legendary D&D studios produced by Preemo. This is actually the remix which is less known than the original so I thought I would give that some shine. Krs-One, Mad Lion, Doug E Fresh, Fat Joe, Smif-N-Wessun & Jeru all rip it in their respective styles. Good stuff from all involved. Tweet
Bahamadia was a beast on the mic! This was my personal favorite track from her debut album “Kollage.” Premier laced these ladies with an ill grimey beat. This is about as raw is it gets video wise too. Straight realness! Tweet
This album has been a long time coming. With barely any new Screwball music over the past few years and more and more rappers incapable of getting the party started (not the kind with fancy bottles and tight shirts but the kind where M.O.P music is the status quo and getting hit in the face with a bottle is not only happenstance but expected). I guess you know what my [...]
Thank you, Blaq Poet! We’re pretty pumped about this one. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Blaq Poet feat. MC Eiht and Malay – Ain’t Nuttin Changed (Remix) (Prod. by DJ Premier) Tweet
