[MP3] DJ Premier & Bumpy Knuckles feat. Nas – Turn Up The Mic (Remix)

Download: DJ Premier & Bumpy Knuckles feat. Nas – Turn Up The Mic (Remix)

One of the many, many great tracks from the DJ Premier & Bumpy Knuckles (Freddie Foxxx) album, KoleXXXion. I discovered this album on Rdio. Have to admit my expectations were not high for it but while yes, this album was some throwback, trad. style, 90’s boom bap with a good dose of mad rapper lyrical content, the album was actually really great. Don’t believe me, check out a preview of it below (full tracks will play for Rdio subscribers) and try to tell me I’m wrong.

New Artist: CALiPH – The Resignation [album]

This dropped a few weeks ago, I believe but I only just got put up on this kid, CALiPH last week while at the Rich Kidd-DJ Nana mixtape release event. I thought dude’s style was little too derivative of J. Cole and (less so) Drake like a lot of these new school rappers, but as a body of work The Resignation was really well-written, produced & conceived. Check it out and tell me if y’all agree??
