What I'm Watching: Pusha T "Exodus 23:1"

"Ask Steve Jobs, wealth don't buy health ..."

Shit is real when diss tracks get videos. Well, except that MC Hammer Jay-Z record. Wasn't anything real about that garbage. Ha! But anyway, Pusha T drops off the visuals for the alleged Lil Wayne/Drake/YMCMB et al diss record. This further distances Pusha T from that Lil Wayne Goulish trash. I see Pusha T is hitting threes in the fourth quarter when he's already up by 25 with 18 seconds left. Sheesh.

Starchild "Cold Turkey Leftovers"

After supporting TMB for a minute, making his first appearance on the site is Starchild with some pretty solid beats. Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way ...

The end of an era, 15 beats and skits from the last 2 years - my cold turkey leftovers. The album is free if you want it but if you do pay for it, HALF of the money you spend will go to Cancer Research. A worthy charity and one that means a lot to me.

Thanks to everyone who has supported over the past couple of years. If you want to use these beats for anything, please email me at luke@starcrazy.org. If you choose to use them without letting me know or giving me credit, I can't REALLY stop you but you'll be a bit of a douche and I'll probably find out eventually.
