Totally agree! This sounds like the kind of beats Dr. Dre should still be rapping over, IMHO….

Video: Ali Shaheed Talks A Tribe Called Quest Documentary, Production & Memorable Studio Moments

Speaking of Jive records, old and new. Travis Porter is the new. A Tribe Called Quest is the old, but still GREAT! Watch the video above featuring Tribe group member and producer, Ali Shaheed Muhammad speaking on a variety of topics relating to the history of this legendary, iconic group. It’s pretty much mandatory viewing if you want to learn about the epitome of artistry and musicality in hip hop. Young’uns who are unfamiliar (or OG’s like me who haven’t peeped their music in a while ‘cos its all in storage!), here’s the album and remix version of the classic “Scenario” track he discusses in the video. Still one of the greatest hip hop songs of all time (and the inspiration for Nicki Minaj‘s “Roman’s Revenge“):

New Music: Kj Hamilton – Love Leaves

This kid is only 19 years old but he shows a lot of promise.

“KJ Hamilton’s “Love Leaves” was produced by JUDAH originally heard on the The Amber Rose Instrumentals mixtape. Additional editing and programming was done by Kj himself. This is the second single off of his EP, Aspiring MC, Vol. I which is due to drop January 31st.

Although he’s only 19, Kj Hamilton is a self-proclaimed revolutionary rapper, way ahead of his time. Born and raised in Georgia, this southern rapper has made his way up north, calling The Big Apple his new home. Still, he never forgets where he came from and holds nothing back as he shares his life experiences throughout the verses of his songs. Fascinated by the arts, music has always been his outlet. His passion is evident; his talent is undeniable. His biggest inspirations come from musical geniuses Kanye West and Andre 3000, while still praising the originators who paved the way. A fusion of the old and the new, along with Kj’s own vision, results in a creative sound that’s different from anything we have yet to hear.”
