It has really been 20 years since one of the greats, Nas, released his first album Illmatic. After all this time, Nas has remained the humble monster that he is and put out constant work that made everyone realize why he is and will always be considered one of the best to ever do it.
Doing what he does best, while making sure each one is better than the last; DJ Dave Dolla constructed a mix of some of Nas' best material for you to vibe to. Check it out.

WordIsBondMusic artist Faze One teams up with label mate R|A for this gritty record for the streets, “Remember Me”. The significance in this record is bigger than the raw lyrics; this song embodies the all too common struggle of urban America, as well as the hunger to get out of living in the hell, that is the projects.
“This song isn't just for my hood, this song is for the hoods all over America” – Faze One
With the city on his back and the crowd chanting his name, a hero must rise to the occasion. But when it's time to put your guns up, Brooklyn spitter Mic Handz understands that sometimes fists are the best means of communication. A rowdy club anthem that plays out like the real life version of Def Jam: Fight for NY, "Don't Get Stomped" is the no holds barred smack down that we desperately need, especially in a time of new age R&B and soft rappers. As Handz plays the undisputed champion and Fame drops rhymes that pick up from where the legendary Rakim left off, we're treated to shots of some of BK's finest doing their thing in an undisclosed, underground location. You may wanna hit the rewind on this one a couple times and see if you can find all the cameos. "Don't Get Stomped" will be released on the upcoming Killin' the Game compilation from T.H.E.M Records. Somebody tell Apollo Creed to ring the bell and get this party started.
After A 4-Year Hiatus Army Of The Pharaohs Returns With New LP “In Death Reborn”
Initiated in 1998 by Jedi Mind Tricks front-man Vinnie Paz as homage to the incredible rap crews of the 80’s and early 90’s, the Army of the Pharaohs has, from its outset, been an ever-evolving collective of celebrated emcees from the indie hip-hop scene. Founding members Vinnie Paz and Esoteric were featured on the crew’s original 12-inch single, “Five Perfect Exertions,” in 1998 and remain with the crew today. With the release of their debut studio album, The Torture Papers in 2006, the Pharaoh clique expanded to include accomplished solo emcees Apathy, Celph Titled, King Syze, Reef the Lost Cauze, and the Philly hip-hop duo and frequent Jedi Mind Tricks collaborators Outerspace.
In its nearly two decades, AOTP has released three studio albums alongside countless solo albums and side projects from its lineup of emcees that have been some of the most critically-acclaimed and best-selling indie hip hop records of the past 20-years. With the release of their newest effort, In Death Reborn, the Army returns after a four-year hiatus to release its fourth group album featuring the lead single/video for “God Particle” featuring Vinnie Paz, Planetary, Esoteric, Apathy & Celph Titled and produced by Stu Bangas. The album also features appearances by Blacastan, Zilla, Block McCloud, Demoz, Doap Nixon & King Magnetic.
