Check out "In Love With My Future" from Miami emcee GhostWridah. DJ Don Cannon, Miami Beat Wave, Mr. Familiar, Lowkey, DJ Ideal and Rem provide beats, with guest appearances from ¡MAYDAY!, Bun B, Kirby, AG Lyonz and Summer J.A.E. I'm not gonna lie, this joint is pretty damn cool. "Still Not Famous" is my favorite joint on the project. Check it. And if you're so inclined, download the full project.
I've heard the original version to this beat and I can't even tell you how much this one blows it out the water, in my opinion. This track is one that would probably never get too old for me. Wrekonize is definitely a talented MC.
Never Too Many
Wrekonize has been blessings us with freestyles all summer long and will be releasing a new solo project soon, titled A Soiree for Skeptics, so keep an eye out for some fresh new music from your favorite drinking partner on the mic by the end of the summer.
Until then, Wrek takes us through his usual blurry daze with the help from director Roberto "Beans" Granizo for Wreko's drunken lament, "One Too Many (Freestyle)". So pick your poison, pour a glass and click below for the video and download link.

Our north of the border homie Shaun has been putting in major work on his comic book Beanpie. He's doing big things. Check out a behind the scenes look at how it all started.
So, as previously mentioned The Mad Bloggers will be in Brooklyn July 10 and 11th. On the 10th, we'll be at the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival. On the 11th, we'll be in Prospect Park for The Roots, Talib Kweli, Blitz the Ambassador and more. Yeah and we didn't even need foursquare to tell you all of that (lol). It's gonna be a pretty good music filled weekend, as well as networking and connecting with folks. We're looking forward to it. Anyway, this week on the podcast we decided to feature tracks from many of the artists that will be featured at BHF on the performance day.

Cee Lo Green's "Stray Bullets" mixtape was pretty damn good. I liked a lot of the tracks. The one track that jumped out at me and found itself on repeat for a while was "I'll Kill Her." It's kinda funny. Check out, "I'll Kill Her" featuring ME & LOnan the Destroyer, the track of the week.
I'm posting this a day late. I'd like to thank Nasa from Uncommon Records for passing this along.
What's up everyone? For those that don't know, news has come down that hip-hop & graffiti pioneer The Rammellzee has unfortunately passed away.
While I didn't know him personally, I had the rare treat of a sit down audio interview with him for my podcast, Uncommon Radio in early 2007. We talked about the beginnings of hip-hop, the evolution of his career and played a bunch of his music including some stuff that was not released at the time. He also dropped a super abstract freestyle at the end of the show.
I'm proud to have gotten the chance to talk with him and with him gone now, I thought this would be a good way for younger generations to now find out more about him.
2nd leak off the upcoming mixtape "The Opus of The Opus" mixed by DJ heavy weight Risky Bizness. Rubberoom's "blackbox" take you on a lyrical journey explaining the fall of their record label 3-2-1 while touring out in Philly with Common and The Roots. Last song ever recorded as Rubberoom.
You may recall J Dante's dope lyrics on the J Dante x Man Mantis "Whole New World" project. That was dope. This new project, definitely dope too. Enjoy lyrics from J Dante with production from DawnsSon and all recorded, mixed and mastered by Man Mantis at the Haunted Closet. Dope. Oh, wait, I already said that. It is though [haha]. Enjoy.
