talib takes things to an apocalyptic place for his latest single. “the end is upon us with a hash tag and a trending topic” may be one of the craziest lyrics ever. gutter rainbows drops this tuesday.

fabolous – in the morning (2010)

i can’t actually listen to the music i’m posting cause i’m at work, but i figured i should probably help pick up some slack while grizzly is in a terrorist cell somewhere in iran celebrating the holidays. anyway, loso goes in on the j. cole/drake smash off of the young simba’s latest mixtape.

free album: the stuyvesants – brooklyn’s finest (2010)

this isn’t a brand new drop, but it’s way, way too good not to post. i was put onto the stuyvesants by the fine people at the brooklyn circus, who have impeccable taste in music as well as style. this is a collection of twenty-something instrumental tracks put together to embody the spirit of ’70s nyc by producer allan cole and record collector darien victor birks. i don’t think i could possibly recommend this one enough (and it’s free!). dilla fans especially be warned of the dopeness you’re about to vibe with.

spotlight: hollywood floss (2010)

that’s right. brand new spotlight for all y’all’s asses. this is a good dude and a homie of the weworemasks fam and deserves to have your ears and eyes. head over to the spotlight, where you’ll find an interview and some background behind the man, as well as all of the links you’ll ever need to keep up with him — and an album sampler from his debut LP, house of dreams. there’s no need to waste any time, now. hit the button on the top bar or click here if you’re too lazy.

get at it.

video: charles hamilton’s 27 minute XXL freestyle (2010)

no one really care’s what anyone else has to say about chuck hamilton anymore (which is probably a good thing), so let’s just focus on the fact that this video actually happened and most “emcees” getting limelight these days couldn’t freestyle for 3 minutes if their life depended on it. just watch 95% of the freestyles any blog posts…

free album: outasight – never say never (2010)

a little late to the rodeo with this one (internet’s been out at my apartment). outasight drops his panda-approved, LRG-sponsored release, never say never. you can’t beat the free.99 price tag, and the man has soul for days, so make sure you’re on your DL with this one.

free album: leonard dstroy – higher vibrations (2010)

have no clue who this cat is, as i’ve taken it upon myself to listen to…wait for it…a MESSAGE BOARD RECOMMENDATION. one of the not-so-nice dudes over at AP posted a link to this and i gotta give it up. these are some ridiculous beats and a great album overall. imagine dilla beats overlapped with huge stadium electronics and a ‘bloom bap’ tag attached to it (self-dubbed by the artist, naturally.)

anyway head over to his bandcamp and get this swt album.

j. cole – bun b for president (2010)

man, real nice looks. unreleased cole track in which he tips his hat to the trill OG himself. cole has talked about wanting to send this to bun to finish up (notice the last part of the track is instrumental). hopefully that happens/has happened and we’re blessed with a final version.
