[MP3] PARTYNEXTDOOR – Recognize Feat. Drake

Track featuring Drizzy Drake from his just released second album which is pretty good although, the level to which he is color-struck throughout the album is pretty astounding. The hook on this track is just one example of many on the album.

[MP3] King Reign – The Books Feat. Saukrates

“I need a future even if it don’t look bright…”

Ain’t that the truth? Here goes single #2 from the This One Goes To Eleven… compilation album celebrating The Kitchen‘s 11th Anniversary this month, and it’s a banger! Pure blaxploitation funk meets afrobeat gone hip-hop.

Thanks to Toronto veteran MC, King Reign for lacing us with this gem for the comp. Long been a fan of his and so super stoked that he decided to support us like this. Interview with Reign coming up some time soon where we get into his career a little bit and the story behind “Guilty Party,” one of my favorite hip-hop tracks of all time that I blogged about way back in the day that he just so happened to make! In the meantime though, enjoy “The Books”
