Video/Interview: Raekwon For New Balance

The Chef details his genesis comin up in the Stapleton section of Staten Island and shares his love for a shoe/brand that I must say is completely worthy...New Balances...

Describing some of his favorite shopping haunts around NYC and why aesthetically he loves the look of New Balances, you get an insight into how and why Rae digs this brand so much...

Really, I feel him 100% on this..Growing up a lot of cats always broke themselves for the Nikes and Reebok's, and that was fine, whatever, I did too at times, but I also used to mess with a variety of other brands like Puma and yes, New Balance, which indeed had models that were really unique and would easily turn heads.. As an added bonus, I know back in the day New Balances was like, thee only shoe brand that was assembled in America, so, if things like sweat shops and the like bothered folks they could take some solace in coppin' those.

props to DJ Mars...

Single: Kurupt ft. Murs & Uncle Chucc - This Is Your Day

It's kind of rare these days that Kurupt puts out anything that I can vibe with...This of course was not always the case, but I digress....

Here, the Philly born, West Coast legend (we can debate that later) links up with Murs and the result is magical.. letting Uncle Chucc soulfully croon the hook was a nice look as well... Powerful music with a message right here...

Off Kurupt's "Penagon Rydaz" ....

James Pants for Carhartt - Stones Throw Radio Show

Anytime we can get our grubby hands on anything from Stones Throw that's a serious must-do so even though this mix from James Pants for one of my all-time favorite work wear brands, Carhartt is a lil' bit older (Pants did it at the end of last year) I'mma have to throw it up...

James Pants:

 This is a mix I did at the end of last year for Carhartt Radio to support an Aloe Blacc tour. Kind of a "best of" new Stones Throw stuff... Got some MED, Madlib, MHE, Freddie Gibbs, Oh No, vintage PB Wolf, Vex Ruffin, Nite Jewel and all adat.

All you cats that regularly keep up with Action know that the man is a serious foodie..Apparently the folks over at Gentlemen's Quarterly also are keen to this fact and decided to let Action run down some of the must hit eatery's in NYC...

Sahara Gravesend, Brooklyn 

"Got to take you to Sahara. It's one of my favorite places in the world because, you know, I grew up going there. It's a Turkish kabob grill fancy dining type place. My whole family, we would always have little parties over there. Every time someone would have a wedding or a birthday party, we would always go to Sahara. My favorite dish is the baby lamb chops. I think lamb is my favorite thing on the earth. These people don't care about having a big-name chef; it's very authentic. The people are from other countries, it's not like the chef is bringing the people in—it's the food and the family atmosphere and stuff like that." 

TaipanFlushing, Queens 

"It's Indo-Chinese Halal fusion. It sounds weird but pretty much basically what it is Indian food cooked Chinese style, in woks and stuff like that, you know? The chili-fried lamb, it's the most divine thing in the world. Extra, extra spicy. The meat is cooked perfectly—it's actually fried very shallow in a little bit of oil, it's tossed with all kinds of chili peppers. Get it with a side order of the sweet corn soup. That dish—there's something about it that just talks to me."

"It's Blaq Poe and Nutso, shit ain't a game, I'm takin aim and n*ggas gettin touched yo"

And that's pretty much the theme of this one... lol... if you into the thuggery and trigger talk, press play, it's right up your alley. If you're a bit more sensible, let this one slide..nuthin but brutality on this one.. QB Legend Blaq Poet never ceases to amaze me with the violent new twists he can put on his bars...

This is taken from Mickey Knox's upcoming album "All For The Love", which should drop early 2012 sometime... if his mixtapes are any indication, it'll be a hardcore boom bap lover's paradise...

Lee Bannon - Fantastic Plastic EP

You livin' that plastic life? Think again...Sac-Town beatsmith of the moment Lee Bannon convinces you that you absolutely are..

Earlier this year, the offices of Plug Research received a mysterious package from Lee Bannon. Inside was a CD-R with a note written on it, “this is my Fantastic Plastic LP. you wanna put it out?” The music was a grimy journey through beats that brought to mind Madlib and early Flying Lotus. 

The indie label agreed to release the record. “This Fantastic Plastic project that I’m doing with Plug, it’s a producer album for the heads,” says Lee in a rare public statement via phone call. “I don’t see the radio masses getting it. It’s really, really dirty and I like that. It’s almost my ambient record.” 

When asked about the title of the record, Lee explained, “think about everything in your life that is plastic. Even my deodorant has plastic, the headphones I’m using to engineer music has plastic, all my keyboards are plastic, I open a plastic bag to get my chips. Fantastic Plastic represents a world ruled by plastic.

Derek 32zero is yet another really dope and supremely gifted new emcee coming up outta the DMV area (VA)  that is readying a new album and deserves to have his new single create some buzz...

Falling into fellow VA native (and his label head) Nottz's production nicely, Derek goes back and forth with an underground legend in Talib Kweli and fairs well..

Derek's "I'm Not Bargaining" coming soon...


Derek 32zero ft. Talib Kweli - Lift 'Em Up (prod. by Nottz) 

Single: Apollo Brown & Hassaan Mackey - Night Time

This duo is hands down one of the most promising new ones...really happy they decided to link up and combine both of their considerable talents... You doubt what I'm sayin or think I'm kickin that booty chatter, peep their new album...

This won't be found on the aforementioned LP, but rather is a bonus cut of sorts to tide over Apollo and Hassaan's fans for the time being.


Apollo Brown & Hassaan Mackey - Night Time

Maffew Ragzino - Rhyme Pays

He's one of the best new young talents comin' up outta the east coast man... do yaself the solid and grab this joint...Maffew Ragazino was good enough to let us get his entire debut LP completely free, hook the man up with some of your time and give this a listen...

"Rhyme Pays" is a well done, in your face type of affair, executive produced by Sha Banga and featuring production from names like DJ Skizz and Digga. After you peep it you may just be able to hold out a bit of hope for true, east coast, hardcore boom bap coming back into the focus of Hip-Hop...

Quan - Feels So Good (prod. by Jake One)

DJ Rhude - Nas: The Found Tapes

Nuthin like a new Nas tape... and yeah, I haven't even heard most of the joints on this bad boy so it qualifies as fuckin' new....

I don't know what Hip-Hop would be without shit like this...fuckin unreleased bangers that no one knows just quite how they surfaced on the web or on a street mixtape collected for us Nas Stans.... we're indebted to Brooklyn DJ extraordinaire DJ Rhude.

There are some staple unreleased joints on here that many Nas know it all's will recognize, "Projects 2 Hot" and "The Foulness" should both be pretty routine now for all you Nas enthusiasts that have been trackin down his unreleased ish' for years... 

DJ Rhude - Nas: The Found Tapes

Single: The Lo Frequency - Think Of

There's music and then there's MUSIC... the Brooklyn based Hip-Hop band known as The Lo Frequency (formerly Chen Lo & The Liberation Family) is definitely the purveyor's of the latter, if you catch my drift...

Fresh off their residency in Beirut where they lived and performed with local talent on the daily, the band of artists is prepping their new album "The Export" for release in about a week... But before we're rocked by an entire stellar album we must be conditioned...therefore "Think Of" must be experienced... dive in...

Album Stream: DTMD: Makin' Dollas

Mello Music Group is one of the best new labels in the indie, underground Hip-Hop scene and just all of Hip-Hop period and everything they release I keep an eye out for...

As expected their latest drop is Maryland duo DTMD's (Dunc & Toine Makin Dollas)..."Makin Dollas" album, that is tremendously nice for a debut...

The album is wonderfully produced and rapped and you're now lucky enough to get to hear it w/o purchasing first... Listen and then go cop it next Tuesday physically like you should...(or cop it on iTunes right now you digi whores)

Although some will never be convinced Scram is hands down one of the best rapping producers out there and has been since I first heard of him back in the early 2K's...

Phonte - The Good Fight (prod. by 9th Wonder)

Single: Jafet - Roberto Clemente (prod. by ES)

It's high time I started spotlighting some worthy new talent for ya'll...Insert  Jafet...

By way of the bloody bean, this young rhyme prospect has not only the voice and hardcore pennings to one day be a winner, but the proper production in his corner as well with the homie Big ES providing the boom bap, make-you-wanna-throw-a-metal trash can-through-a-window sound bed...

Interview: Kool G Rap Talks Godfathers Project W/ Necro

Thanks to Platform 8470 we all get a lil' insight on what to expect from the monster collabo album from the mafiosi rap progenitor and the gore rap king...

Platform 8470.com: What can we expect? 

Kool G Rap: A lot of people can only imagine. But since both of us are like similar in what we do, we’re both like raw, underground spitters, they will have an idea already. We’re both rappers with a sophisticated flow, multisyllabic. It’s that hardcore rugged attack, that griminess. For instance, if I was to name some records that you can compare this project to, you can expect to hear a Necro - G Rap ‘Men At Work’ or ‘Wanted: Dead Or Alive’, or ‘Poison’. This project is right along the lines of that, but very much 2011-ish 

I’m impressed by the material we’re working on right now. I’m amped up and charged. I know the people that are waiting and anticipating the project are gonna be completely satisifed. This is gonna be that raw, lyrical, spitting, hardcore, street. I mean all these different things wrapped up into one. The fans out there that are familiar with Necro’s work and my own work, I know their imagination can just put it together on what us two, Necro and G Rap, are gonna do. What we could possible be capable of doing on our own, what we could be doing together, they can only imagine, but they will have some kind of idea

Single: Bambu & Sabzi - Box'd Up

The Pacific Northwestern, production wiz Sabzi (of Common Market fame) links with one half of Native Guns in Bambu for a memorable cut and a bonafide dope collab...

This joint actually stems from their awesomely titled new collaboration album, "Inglewood Humperdink", that I believe is coming sometime later this year...not 100% sure on that tho..


Bambu & Sabzi - Box'd Up

Video: Murs - Remember 2 Forget

Murs is readying his new collab album with Ski Beatz and the first glimpse into it we're gettin is this joint which musically is everything that I would want and expect from Murs and Ski...

Free Onsmash Takes The #MaddenBattle

Just in case you were wondering (or even knew) about this tournament between blog sites that are all monumentally bigger than PHH, here's how it went down..

First, yo, how the fuck does AG lose to Asher Roth??? And 2nd, if you can't quite make out what the results were, the homies over at Free Onsmash took it..

Video: 2011 Nike MAG: Back For The Future Promo W/ Bill Hader, Kevin Durant, Tinker Hatfield & Doc Brown

Haven't done a post on threads in awhile, and this one really, really pleases me...

Back to the Future flicks were some of the dopest aspects of my childhood and so many others and of course when all of us seen those shoes in the movies that were futuristic as all get out we dreamed about being able to have a pair...well, now Nike is finally droppin' em' so to speak...

The Nike MAG was released 5 days ago in limted amounts for auction on Ebay, and the proceeds will go to Michael J. Fox's Foundation for Parkinson's Disease, and along with em' Nike dropped this great promo... ignore Durant's awkward and quite novice delivery and focus on the great Doc Brown cameo! This took me back!

Video: Scram Jones - One September Day

I know that all of you have been inundated with 9/11 shit up to your fucking eyeballs, and yeah I get that healing is all about moving on, but sometimes it's good to pay ya respects and remember something...something that changed you, your friends and so many others...

I feel like 9/11 was one of those events where Americans got as close to being one consciousness as they probably ever will...of course that wore off quickly and divisions went up again..many of which were understandable...

Today is a day when a great evil deed was carried out on innocent ppl and America suffered... let's leave it at that and look at it through the lens of a native New Yorker, Scram Jones, and his new vid "One September Day", that I think re-constructs at a very basic level what that day was like for many unfortunately...

One Be Lo - LABOR (Stream)

Michigan underground legend and Binary Star member, One Be Lo kindly lets us preview the entirety of his new album "LABOR" via his bandcamp...

If you're not aware of this cat or his previous work you need to begin to gain your consciousness immediately... One has long been one of the nicest out there and on "LABOR" he continues in that fashion, serving up his usual brand of immensely thoughtful lyric and rhyme..

This is real Hip-Hop....get ya preview on and then break the man off his $12 bones.

Cover Art: Styles P - Master Of Ceremonies

I can't think of a better album title for this man than this...

Happy that The Ghost is still out there making hardcore Hip-Hop music and I'm hoping he does his numbers this time out...

You can grab this October 4th...

Veterano - Westside Stories

West coast production upstart Veterano has truly crafted a nice soundtrack for all you end of Summer mourners....

This amazing mix takes it's inspiration from the tunes that 70's and 80's babies heard they folks bumpin' in the ol' big body or in the kitchen on Saturday... These joints are also west coast low ridin' staples...It's hard to explain the music that coincides with a lot of Chicano culture, but really, in a few words it's soul, it's real and it's probably the best black music that was ever made in this country of any time period...ever..and yes, for some reason the vatos have been loving it for decades...

Take a stroll w/ Veterano here as he introduces you to the music that inspired a whole coast...

Cover Art: Jedi Mind Tricks - Violence Begets Violence

On October 25th Vinne Paz and Jus Allah will release the 7th album from JMT which is titled "Violence Begets Violence" ....

While any news of a new release from JMT is always pretty big, the story behind this release that is quickly taking shape is how longtime in-house producer Stoupe will not be taking part in teh creation of this record...

The fact that Stoupe's signature sound won't be backing up Vinnie this time around is somewhat highly wack, but I don't think this will be a permanent move... In any case there will be plenty of other production talent showcased this time out, including Mr. Green, Shuko, Grand Finale and Nero...

Peter Rosenberg & Pop Chips - What's Poppin Volume 1

Peter Rosenberg of Hot 97 fame has always been a great judge of talent and good music and his ear for exactly those two things is on full display here as he links up with Pop Chips (haven't tried em' yet) for a new mixtape chalk full O' new music from some of the game's best and brightest..

You'll find new cuts on here from emcees like Action Bronson, Danny Brown, Homeboy Sandman, Kosha Dillz, Maffew Ragazino, Kenn Starr, Kendrick Lamar, Kaimbr and many others.... and yes, it also includes Rosenberg himself handling some of the production and scratching duties...

Now that you're aware of this, and really you should have already known about this kid, you need to peep his debut mixtape that will act as the precursor to his debut album, the heavily anticipated "Already"...


Preme holds down the hosting and mixing duties while Khaleed holds down the mic....16 tracks, production from Premier, Showbiz and Marco Polo...


Khaleel - The Authentic Vol.1 (Hosted & Mixed by DJ Premier)

Cover Art: Statik Selektah - Population Control

On Oct. 25th we all get to peep the current Beantown (but currently residing in a Brooklyn home rented out by Hasidic Jews) DJing and producing champion, Statik Selektah's latest album "Population Control"...

Still in the dark as to what he's referencing exactly with the title...might have to hunt that down.. in the meantime, here's the cover art kiddies...

Single: T3 - Ghetto (prod. by Traybeats)

T3 heats up this stripped down banger that's produced by fresh talent Traybeats who infuses it with eerie sample stabs a thumping kick drum some neck snapping rhythm... All T3 does is spit some exquisite rapid-fire lines that accompany the track perfectly...

I enjoyed this man...so you know that when the Violator Radio Mixtape drops I'mma be checking it out...

Single: The Away Team - Unforgettable

Rousing new joint from The Away Team... These cats rarely ever come wack, go ahead and press play, you know you won't regret it...

Over a head snapping beat from Khrysis, Sean Boog goes to work and gives good incentive for all to remember him and to remember that the Away Team's new album "Scars & Stripes" is dropping on Oct. 11th...
