Tragedy Khadafi- The Death Of Tragedy

So your straved for a politically concious, lyrically capable, New York bred MC. You need never look any further than the man known as Tragedy Khadafi. In his latest offering, Trag gives us what we've become so accustomed to recieving from him; hard hitting lyrics that come with a sharp pointed sting of truth that cut in at every vocal stab. It pains me to know so many kids that grew up on Pac's music never got around to checking out this guy's stuff, because to me Trag's style always bore a close resemblence to Pac's. When it came to their ideas about society and their "revolutionary" mindsets the two were on the same page. Thug Life and The Foul Mothi were connected by the virtues in their music, and the pitfalls of their communities. And these commonalities didn't come after Pac died, oh no, Trag was already maintaining the same mental and societal outlooks as Pac while they both were alive, before either of them had any noteriety. All that being said Trag is a much more of a versatile MC, and Pac never had his vocabulary. I think Trag's work ethic is catching up to Pac as well, considering he's been hitting the people consistently with new shit for the past two years now. The Death Of Tragedy comes at a time when NY needs a new voice to guide them out of the present state of confusion. Who better than a veteran of both games (you know what I mean) and a cat who held shit down for dolo ever since the early nineties. On The Death Of Tragedy we find many lyrical gems as well as some good old fashioned straight talk. The Production shimmers as Trag rhymes over the underground's elite in Scram Jones, Alchemist, 4th Disciple and Havoc, but surprisingly and rightfully in my opinion Trag entrusts the bulk of the beatsmithing to his fellow Queens natives. Qb's own dynamic production duo Now & Laterz and the one man wrecking crew known as GQ Beats handle 9 out of the 16 tracks on this album, and they come through in a big way, especially Now & Laterz, who I have always liked, ever since they did a few ridiculous tracks for Bars n' Hooks. This is another can't miss effort for Trag. Tracks to check for are "G Formation", "The Truest", "Milk Murder" and "Intimate Vision".

Figured I'd post some new J-Love while I was at it. Here's his latest mixtape to date, and it's no surprise we find him paying respects to the late great Christopher Lee Rios AKA Big Pun. While many felt Pun was indeed the best Latin mc of all time, I think many of us would agree he was also very underrated and unappreciated while he was here. So many great verses of Pun's have been played through my stereo speakers, so many memorized in my mind as I would play the "Capital Punishment" album the fuck out. This tape runs through some Of Pun's most memorable moments and shares a few new joints you haven't heard yet, courtesy of none other than J-Love.

J-LOVE- Unstoppable

Here's one of my favorite mixtape Dj's, and maybe my favorite producer period. In his second official album, he dishes out some of the freshest collabs and remixes you'll ever come across. Complete with his hard hitting, boom bap sound claves, J-Love does serious damage this time around. It's no surprise he is one of the most respected underground Dj's, his work is impeccable at times. One of the only disappointments in this release is Love's somewhat clumsy attempt at rapping on the 4th track. Even still, I realize it'll take him some time to warm up to himself, a la another great producer who is now attempting to rock the mic; Alchemist. Other than that, this should easilly stay in your deck for weeks on end, whether you find yourself hypnotized by J-Loves soul shaking, production or the lineup of great Mc's that includes old favorites like Raekwon, Shyhiem, Masta Ace, Big L and Ghost, as well as newcomers like Willie The Kid, Tru Life and Wigz. I can't reiterate enough how bangin the production on this is, so make sure you check for this, and make sure you check these standout bangas: "Az- The Return Of SOSA", "Rza- Im Back", "Raekwon- Heavyweights" and "Gangstarr's - The Squeeze".

It pains me to say that in a hip-hop world filled with snap beats and laffy taffy there seems to be no room for an extremely talented producer, devoted to the old fundamentals of great instrumental production, while still breaking new ground. Ayatollah has been recognized for some of his work like "Mrs. Fat Booty" and other Rawkus classics but has yet to garner any acclaim for his lesser known works. One of his best Instrumental albums to date is his opus "Now Playing", an insight to his multi layered masterpieces. Rich with integral drums, creatively chopped soul samples and bold, full sound. This record's vibe is so unique, yet so familiar. There are few questions left to be asked after you hear this man's beats, except where his other shit is at. Check for "Kingston", "Highway To Heaven" and "The Song Is Over".

Think Differently Music Group presents Dreddy Krueger The A&R Experience

Let's face it people, Wu-Tang as a collective is no longer what it once was. Frivelous in fighting, blown deadlines and the untimely death of original clan member Old Dirty Bastard, have left the Wu a bit off step in the past few years. Never the less, many of the clansmen and their affiliates find themselves releasing more new material than ever. One of the bigger and more celebrated projects that The Wu has put together recently is the development of their new imprint Think Differently Music. The first venture for the new imprint was to release what is now considered a classic album in "Wu-Tang Meets the Indie Culture", which was a compilation album put together by affiliate member Dreddy Krueger that included some monumental collaborations between some of Wu-Tang's elite and the best of the underground scene. Dreddy recieved huge noteriety for the dynamic pairing of some of the artists (yeah, that fuckin Gza/Rass Kass combo was insane) and now was ready to take his A&R status to the next level. A part-time rapper who was featured on the Grave Diggaz song "Graveyard Chamber", Dreddy put the rhyming aside momentarilly to further the success of Think Differently. With several dope releases including "Think Differently presents Rza The Composer (a collection of all the movie scores and compositions Rza has produced to date) Dreddy now has heads looking for the Think Differently imprint incessantly. "The A&R Experience" takes us on a ride through some of the songs Dreddy has influenced and has been there to foster through recording. While many of these tracks appeared on "Wu Tang Meets Indie Culture" most people are still sleeping on the mastery that lies within they're planning and execution, a compliment that has yet to be paid to Dreddy.

Big Shug- Never Say Die The Pre- Album

One of the highest honors any MC in hip-hop can ever recieve is the chance to work with DJ Premier. An even higher honor is to be apart of Premier's crew The Gangstarr Foundation. All that being said, Big Shug has got to be considered one of the luckiest and most honored MC's around. The facts are the facts; Big Shug's name for the most part has never really rung out across the land, mostly just in Brooklyn and the the other five boroughs, yet he is respected in the game already as if he were Big Daddy kane himself. This isn't due to Shug's skill, but rather his un flinching devotion to what we all love to call real hip-hop. Big Shug has always kept his formula simple; make hardcore street tracks for the people that love that shit. He's become a true master at doing just that, teaming up with Premier for his first album "Who's hard", bringing out some of the best Foundation material in recent memory. Although Shug's first album was definitely a great look for hip-hop, specifically all the hardcore Gangstarr fans, it also left somthing to be desired from Shug who at times was lackluster on many verses, and refused to diversify some of the subject matter he chose to delve into. Even with his somewhat lazy appraoch to some of his lyrics, the album was still a huge success, and that success is most likely the reason why Shug will be hitting us with his follow up sophmore Lp "Street Champ", due out later this year. In the mean time Shug and Premier hand out a Pre- Album to keep the fans at bay until the final cut is ready. "Never Say Die" lives up to it's title as we find Shug compiling some older classic material, freestyling over timeless Premier beats and throwing us one or two new joints just for fun, all while showcasing a brand new drive and edge in his flow that surely is comparable to no one besides his fellow Foundation crew affiliate Bumpy Knuckles. "Never Say Die", provides everything that a real Gangstarr fan would want to hear, and that every real hip-hop fan ought to. Joints to check for are "Counter Punch", "We Gotta Get Up" and "Do What Pays". Enjoy the pre-album folks, the "Street Champ" is on his way.

Saigon- Belly Of the Beast (The Scram Jones Files)

The world of hip-hop has seen few reasons to rejoice in the past couple of years.....while, there were shimmering moments of glory, like the time when Jay and Nas got together onstage and did their thing...there was still far too many reasons for the hip-hop community to shake their heads; The disbanding of the Source amid a sex scandel that led to a court trial, Fabolous shot in the leg and arrested for gun possession, Busta Rhymes' continued legal woes, producer Dallas Austin being arrested on drug charges in Dubai, DJ Quik's incarceration, Lil' Kim's incarceration, Beanie Siegel being wounded in an apparent robbery, Brooklyn MC Gravy being wounded in front of Hot 97, The deaths of Big Hawk, Proof and most recently Stack Bundles, it just seems that these days hip-hop just isn't rhyming as much as it is getting into some bullshit, and for what it's gone through there's really not that much note worthy music coming out as a result, a la Pac and Biggie. Turmultuous times didn't avoid Saigon either, who was involved in an altercation that took place in January of 06' in which he was stabbed in the head over his chain. Yet Sai Giddy pushes forward, recovering and releasing new music for the droves of underground heads praising him as the new Nas, among other things....today I bring you a fine collection of Saigon's work, coupled with about four new and previously unreleased bangas, that give us all a glimpse into just how nice the kid from MooseKnuckle, NY is. Sure if you've been following Sai ever since he burst onto the scene with those Yardfather mixtapes than you already are aware of just how great a story teller and lyracist he is, not to mention you probably noticed the man has a few opinions on the society we live in. Penning such riteous and politically charged songs like "The ColorPurple" and "Shok TV" among others. In my book he's pushed his way to the top of the game as far as content goes. Now busy at work on his debut album with Just Blaze, this mixtape comes courtesy of another frequent collaborator of his; none other than Scram Jones. Every track on this is produced by Scram, and trust that is somthin special.....if you don't already know, tracks to check for are: "Desperado", "New York Streets", "Reprecussions", "Whispers" and "All I Know".

R.I.P. Stack Bundles.....Hip-Hop loses yet another rising star

All the Details are still being gathered at this point but apparently earlier this morning after leaving Club Stereo in NY, Stack Bundles AKA Daquon Elliot was brutally gunned down in front of his home. Reportedly Elliot was walking home with a friend after a night out at the club. The friend finished walking Elliot to his home and began to walk away, a short time later the friend said he heard gunshots coming from Elliot's residence. It was there, in front of his home in Far Rocaway Queens that Stack Bundles was shot fatally in the neck and head. While all of his credit cards and money was found still in his wallet, Stack's medallion and necklace were believed to be taken. His assailants remain at large.

Bronze nazereth- The Unknown

Another great release from Detroit's own and Rza's newest right hand man on the boards. Bronze been killing shit, and this collection of rare and unreleased material from him and his wisemen crew. As usual this shit is brimming with great soul inspired loops and sample chops. Bronze leaves you wanting more and more as the album presses forward, easilly over shadowing the rhymes. A release that was originally only for the net, Bronze appeases his loyal fans and his curious new casual listeners as he puts forth another great release and gains ground on his fellow expert wu affiliated beatsmiths like 4th Disciple, Mathematics, Tru Master and Cilvarings. Bronze's partner in rhyme Kevlar 7 is on pretty much every track on this, and it really isn't fair that half the time most of us were wishing that Ghost or Rae or one of the more skilled original Wu members was the one spittin' over it. Nonetheless, Kevlar does his thing admirably, and while most of his stuff sounds like a really good wu-slang impression, he manages pretty well for himself.

Why the F*%# People care about this shit.......I'll Tell You Why They Should....

So about two days ago I flick on the tube (to CNN) tryin to look at some coverage on the G8 conferences goin on over in Europe, to see if there was any word on the super powers lending some much needed aide to Africa, particuliarly Darfur. I was surprised to see that not only CNN, but MSNBC, Fox News and Headline News were all airing wall to wall coverage of Paris Hilton being escorted back to the Hooscow by L.A. county sheriffs. At first I was really surprised that this shit was even note worthy, then they gave me the back story. Apparently the sheriff was bein' overly sensitive in her handling, and a lot of folks in the legislative and penial system felt she was recieving prefferential treatment. One example was that from the jump, they didn't demand that Hilton remove her hair weave when she checked in, and then there was her automatic move into a single cell, when she should've had a bunkie. The straw that broke the proverbial camel's back tho was when Hilton was sprung out of county after a visit from her psychiatrist, wherein she was deemed to be having an extraordinarilly hard time adjusting to her new surroundings and the sheriff okay'd it for her to finish up the sentence handed down by a judge at home, on house arrest. So here I am looking at the television with the rest of the world (or not) as Hilton wept in a police car and in a courtroom, terrified to be returning to jail. This is an important event, that happened to someone not so important in her field. What I mean is that, the way that this shit went down totally exposed the inept, overcrowded and racist environment that regular folks in L.A. county jails are havin' to deal with on a dailly, yet the hotel heiress got treated like someone who was wrongly convicted. I mean, I ain't got shit against the broad, I've heard some shit about her bein' in a video making bigoted remarks, I've seen her buy her way into the music business without much talent, we all know she be makin her lil movies and all I can say is that she's young and dumb, and probably is just real confused about her role in life. The word misguided comes to mind when I think of her actually. However, I don't wish pain or mental agony on anyone, and Hilton is no exception. I gotta be real about one thing; she'll definitely come outta this with a new perspective, but that don't mean nothing. I don't judge the 21 yr. old drug dealer that goes in, and I won't judge her, like i'm better or some shit. We're all lost in some fashion, at some point, and we all have our demons. This child is no different, so while I won't judge her, I do hope she grows. I digress.... the real reason we all need to be talking about this is because our latino and african american brothers and sisters is catchin hell in the jail and penitentiary systems across America and there ain't no Dr. Sophy comin' to get they ass out when they fuckin lose their marbles behind them walls. We gotta remember all our family and friends that's biddin', and try and bring light to either the injustices within society that landed them there or the fact that little is being done to help them correct and reform themselves while there.

Self Scientific- Gods And Gangsters

One of the finest hip-hop duos from the left coast; Self Scientific comes up nothing short of excellence on this release. Doing real hip-hop in L.A. can have it's challenges, first you have to compete with all the big name gangsta rappers still feeding off their glory days for shows and sales, second you have to compete with a huge and ever expanding underground scene, that truthfully isn't rivaled by any other place other than the big apple. Fortunately for Chace Infinite and Dj Khalil they already know these things and they already have done them. Combining the raw lyricism of Chace Infinite, and the extraodinary beat concoctions of Dj Khalil, they form a group out west that has appeal all over. few heads can deny their skill and sound, and that's why this tape is fuckin crazy. Of Gods and Gangstas finds the two up to their old tricks, providing listeners with great L.A. inspired soundscapes, along the way recruiting a host of underground sensations to showcase some of Khalil's production. Don't pass this up, this is hip-hop completely un filtered and in true form.

Password: Smiff

It's probably been a pretty scary and unsettling 48 hours for Hip-Hop legend and production extraordinaire Marley Marl, who somtime yesterday night suffered a heart attack. All the word we have now is that Marley is in stable condition in the hospital. My thoughts and prayers are with Marley and his family, hopefully the good lord is watching over him and protecting him from any further harm. Much respect and get well soon Marley!

Talib Kweli and Madlib- Liberation

Finally they got together and did some shit. Many in the underground world had been waiting for these two to come together and collectively make a classic record for the masses. Well, they did hook up with each other, and they managed to create some very worthwhile music. I only wish, as i'm sure many others did, that they had come a lil' deeper with the tracks, but I'm not gonna complain, it's quality, not quantity guys, remember that. Many of the tracks themselves ruminate with Madlib's distinct and driven style of production. Madlib definitely did his thing on this joint, providing beats that were hard; "Funny Money", beats that were different; "The Function" and beats that made you feel good; "Happy Home". Talib shines as usual, bringing his unique and witty rhymes to the fore front of the project, proving once again he might just be the most versatile rapper in the business.

D-Block- Street Muzik

Boom!! That's right son! New D-Block shit! In their latest mainstream and retail release them D-Block boys pile it on. Coming at you with 13 new joints (unless your really into the mixtapes) that are all sprinkled with that classic street appeal and feel that Styles, Sheek and J-hood are known for. And yes, Kiss is pretty much absent from this whole cd, but surprisingly Sheek and J-hood hold down most of this release down themselves. Considering the circumstances they do a damn good job. Many had already written J- Hood off as being just another punchline/mixtape artist, but he proves his naysayers incorrect as he weaves lyrical webs around his listeners with jumpoffs like "Game Is Dirty" and "Hood In My Hand". Sheek who has also recieved his fair share of criticism also steps up his game up with "Respect", providing his fans with yet again another introspective into the politics of the rap vet's mind and world. Overall this ain't really what most hardcore LOX fans wanted, but should stave them off until the group drops it's third album somtime this fall.
-Dominick L.

1. Sheek Louch - 'Respect'
2. Sheek Louch & J-Hood - 'You Ready?'
3. Straw Feat. Styles - 'Be Real For Him'

9. Sheek Louch - 'Love You'
10. Sheek Louch - 'Love You'
11. J-Hood - 'Come Out N Play'
12. J-Hood - 'Hood In My Hand'
13. Styles P & Sheek Louch - 'City Not Big Enough'

Wade Waters - Dark Water

This right here is a very good, very solid album. Soulstice and Haysoos are Wade Waters, a group that is determined not to be defined and determined not to be just the average back pack cats. At any rate there's plenty of great material on this album, which comes complete with features from Cuban Link and Az. The production on this album is also very good, with Shuko, Kev Brown and Analogic all checking in to lay down work on the boards. This is pretty close to being an underground classic, don't pass it up.

Dj Scarface - Lock Ya Door For The Haters

A new name in the mixtape game; DJ Scarface comes thru with a gutter ass tape featuring some of the most slept on cats doin they thing out east. The tape itself is hosted by none other than Snyp Life; a D-Block affiliate belonging to one of the hardest groups in recent memory, 354. Snyp not only does his thing on the host tip, but also drops off a few new bangas, the pick of the litter being the Sincere Noble produced leadoff track "The Life I Chose". This tape is a banga for many reasons, among them it has a track from Boston's newest sensation Betrayal. I been talkin about this kid for a minute and it's good to see he's still pumping shit out for the mixtape circuit. The joint he did for this tape is another shining example of why he's the truth and why he's comin strong in either the summer or the fall. Not to be out done Godfather pt.3 pitches in two memorable bangas for this tape, which is already brimming with hardcore street shit. This is a great pickup for all the underground and hardcore heads fienin' for a new fix....there's more than a few exclusives, so dive in.
