[MP3] Nas Feat. Rick Ross – Accident Murderers

Another heatrock from Nas. This Life is Good album (due July 17) looks like it’s shaping up to be a banger. Shout to Biz Markie though.

Nas – The Don | DJ Premier & Bumpy Knuckles feat. Nas – Turn Up the Mic (remix)

A Look at the Polaris Long List: 9. Cadence Weapon – Hope in Dirt City

I think I’ve been pretty clear on how much I dislike this album. Polaris jurors know even more so. That being said, inexplicably jurors seem to love this guy so expect him to make a strong run at becoming a short list nominee. Disagree with me?

[Music Video] Saukrates – Tomorrow

I’m a little late on this but here’s the latest video from Saukrates‘ new Season One album. I love the album, which can be considered as much an urban pop album as a hip-hop one, others not so much. Whatchu think though? Hit the jump to stream the entire album if you didn’t hear it yet from the last time I posted it.

[MP3] Kay Gee of Naughty By Nature presents Elite – We R Young (KayGee-Mix)

MP3 Download: Elite – We R Young | Alt. download link: MP3

Yes a cover of the recent pop hit by Fun. (which, if I’m not mistaken, samples the breakdown section of Eric B & Rakim‘s “Microphone Fiend”, maybe??). I digs. Kay hates that this is true but I think his core strength was always the fact that he had an ear for pop, crossover anthems. This cover, remake (?), whatever is from the forthcoming mixtape, #WavyFlexinCool.
