Chuuwee - "Keep It Real (On The Real)" feat. Mean Doe Green (Prod. by ENG)


Chuuwee and Mean Doe Green. Damn, son. Damn. I'm not gonna act like I know every track dude ripped but what I do know of Chuuwee is enough to recommend his music to folks. Same goes for the other blog usual, Mean Doe Green. I can't imagine these two ill emcees doing a full length album. Damn, son. Damn. This track is giving me a throwback feel, sort of like an older Heltah Skeltah or something like that. This shit is dope. Love what you heard....that's after you hit play, of course.

Common "Dooint (Sauce Fonda Remix)"



In the anticipation for Common's new album, "The Dreamer, The Believer", I have taken the time to remix one of Common's singles. I was planning on doing an short EP of remixes before the actually release of "The Dreamer, The Believer", but I just don't have the time anymore. But I thought I would send this joint I knocked out today. Hope you enjoy it and thank you for listening.

What I'm Watching: Easy Does It - "Feelin' Like Ooh"


As we travel on the different side of TMB's track, we run into Easy Does It out of Atlantic City. Vocalist Jake describes their group using two others: The Roots x Sublime. I saw The Roots and immediately became curious. Their style is definitely a change of pace from what we normally post on here but after a few listens, I can honestly say I dig it. Sometimes, it's cool to switch it up and I think here's a good enough time as any. Thoughts?

Chase Supreme - "Apocalypse Now "


With the title of this track and the tribal influenced production, you immediately get the sense that Chase Supreme (no relation to me, haha) is trying to give the listeners a message much heavier than your normal Hip-Hop track. He separates himself from those rappers that are doing it solely for the glam and the glitz and wants to be taken much more serious than that. It's not a bad track overall and I think the lyrics outshine the production on "Apocalypse Now" but this is one man's opinion. Check it out for yourself.

Chase Supreme has been teasing fans over the past couple of months with a few of his older tracks and an Instrumental EP. Now, the Newark, Delaware-based rapper/producer gives fans his first single, "Apocalypse Now", off of his upcoming mixtape, "Blue Lotus".

What I'm Watching: The Doppelgangaz - "At Night"


The LGhastly Duo are roaming the streets and if you don't have your cloaks on, you might become victim to the night. This joint is chill as hell. Damn. These cats keep it simple in the video and that works perfectly for them because their music is the talk and action. I remember when I got this album in the mail, put it in the ride and just coasted the hell out. It's amazing how many cats at this level are better than some folks' favorite majors. Check out the video and follow the link to cop the album.

DTMD - "Untitled" feat. ODDISEE


I really have a hard time finding anything with Oddisee on it that I can't bump. This track featuring the young and talented Dunc & Toine rides the same sonic satisfaction and the album overall doesn't disappoint. With a line like "...I'm sewn from the seeds of legendary emcees...see? We the same breed / I remain me...cold enough to give a brain freeze...", if you like listening to lyrics, you'll enjoy this album. But for now, enjoy this track.

DTMD is busy making a couple videos for their recent album release but thought they'd remind everyone of just how dope their album is with this track featuring close friend Oddisee. It's also that time when people start making year end lists, so the 22 year olds, Dunc & Toine, wanted to offer a contender for Best Debut Album 2011: DTMD - Makin' Dollas.

J57 ''Pulp Fiction'' feat. Koncept (Prod. by J57)


The Brown Bag AllStars are having the best week ever. Or maybe it's the fans of the NYC crew that are benefiting. This week Soul Khan dropped Pursuance with Audible Doctor on production. Then Koncept released his latest track/video featuring Soul Khan with production from J57 ahead of his new project awaken . Now J57 releases a new track featuring Koncept from his upcoming project 2057. They're dropping dope music and keeping it in the family this week it seems. Can't be mad at that. Enjoy Pulp Fiction and look for more from the collective coming soon.

What I'm Watching: The Roots & Big K.R.I.T. Perform Make My (Live At Highline Ballroom)


I rarely post videos of live shows that I didn't attend but I couldn't let this one slide. It's The Roots and Big K.R.I.T. performing "Make My" which is off of "Undun", the album that was released yesterday. It's been getting a crazy amount of great reviews everywhere but I'm not surprised. They are an amazing band. Check out the video and see a little of what I'm talking about.
