Download ... Apollo Brown "Time Passed Autumn" (Instrumental)

From the sound of this first track, I'm in eager anticipation of hearing the full instrument album by Apollo Brown. This is the type of production I rather hear MCs jump on instead of the commercially known yet sonically unfulfilling beats some are using.



from the forthcoming instrumental project "CLOUDS". In Stores March 1st!

This MC is out to prove she's got lyrics and knows how to use them over dope production by none other than 9th Wonder. Rapsody is no joke. This track here isn't either. But I'll let you think. Check it.

Check It ... J.Good - "The Rush ft. Ayomari & KENO"

One of those dope Hip-Hop relationship tracks that causes you to nod your head rhythmically and indulge in the lyrics in a way to make you relate them to what you may be going through. Check it.


TUS (the Usual Suspects) member J.Good (Sacramento) drops the first leak off of his debut album "Look On The Bright Side". This track features artists such as, Ayomari (Los Angeles) and KENO (Sacramento), also a TUS member. "The Rush" is a song about relationships, where each MC expresses their individual experiences with women. The story-based sixteens, are accompanied by the soulful production of up and coming producer, Jansport J.

Check It ... Saigon - "Too Long featuring Black Thought"


Saigon's "Greatest Story Never Told" finally saw a release date on February 15th. Possibly a good belated Valentine's Day gift for the fellas, ladies. Haha. Good production, good lyrics, good features. You already know I'm digging this track with one of my favorite MCs ever, Black Thought. What are your thoughts on the entire album?

Check It ... Asylum Lifetime and Sherm LaRock - "Political Asylum" (Album)


If you don't know about Asylum Lifetime and his producer Sherm LaRock, get to work. This Hip-Hop duo out of Connecticut has been putting in hard work for some years now and is easily noticeable in their latest effort titled "Political Asylum". This gritty project includes features by other CT residents in Blacastan, Correct 1, ColomBeyond, and more. Production off this album is reminiscent of the mid 90s, in my opinion, with lyrics that compliment them. This album is one that's unique to what I hear coming out of this state and one you might appreciate as I do. Check out the album sampler containing 5 of his tracks and make sure you hit up their website for more info and to cop the album.

What I'm Watching ... The Foreign Exchange - "Authenticity"


New video by The Foreign Exchange. Seems like every time they come out with a video, I have to go back to the cd, hit play and repeat.



I don’t know where I should be!
This game we play is killing me.
She’s all that I could dream,
But she tears me apart.
She wants me to feel her need,
She begs for authenticity,
You don’t want truth from me,
You just want what you want!

Download ... Al-Fatir - "Robots and Skylines"

Finally got around to listening to Al-Fatir's free album with original production titled "Robots and Skylines". Interesting title which added to the curiosity of the album. Like a skyline, there are just a few ups and downs in this album when it came to production and the energy in his flow. But like robots, he came to get the job done. Overall, it's a good project and for the price, Free99, you might be hard pressed to find any arguments on it. I've added a few tracks for your immediate listening pleasure but make sure you click the link to cop the entire project. Check it!
