Gotta post the latest mixtape from the lil homie and friend of the Kitchen, Lil B. Extra points for the flagrancy of the artwork!
I keep trying to tell my people here in Toronto that the NY hip hop scene has been kind of dead for years now but new up-and-coming Brooklyn MC, Maffew Ragazino might make a liar out of me if he keeps going the way he has been recently. Rhymes Pays, his first official (but free) album is so solid like I said on twitter.

Ragazino previously on The Kitchen:
– Maffew Ragazino – Black Sheep (prod. Harry Fraud) [MP3]

First official album from the Toronto-based spoken word artist/MC/community activist, Ian Kamau. Think the melodic-yet-monotone lilt of Slick Rick mixed with the spoken word cadence of K-os and you’ll get some sense of what this kid sounds like if you’re not already familiar from when I posted about him on the old Kitchen. Or just hit play above….
Learn more about Kamau in my homegirl Anupa‘s feature interview with him from the Toronto Standard, “Ian Kamau is Saving Toronto and Your Soul—One Song at a Time.”

I know I’m not the first on this by far. In fact, only just got put up on this new(-ish) artist, Azealia Banks from uptown, Harlem by listening to London’s XFM radio the other day. Go figure! Y’all dig though? If so, check out more songs and the “L8TR” video from Ms. Banks after the jump.
