[Audio] Listen to a Sampler of Nottz – In My Mind: The EP

I’ve slept on Nottz even though I really, really dug his single, “Shine So Brite” from the You Need This Music (and he’s right, you do need that music! Go check that out if you haven’t already…). I just got up on this from trying to clean out my blog email inbox. This is from early June! Needless to say it’s a banger. Wanna to hear the entire thing, which is 8 tracks, though? Go to Brandon Soderberg’s now SPIN-powered No Trivia hip-hop blog HERE for a stream of the full EP.

[MP3] DJ Kay Slay – Microphone Murder feat. Beanie Sigel, Freeway Young Chris & Tray Lee

Philly, Philly! This dropped a few weeks back but I was too busy in the midst of my grand Polaris Long List adventure to post this then. Still worth doing so now though. Hip-Hop the way I like it: grimy, bangin’ and hardcore (not gangsta!). And whattup, Tray Lee, Esq.??! Good to see you back behind a mic! Track from the forthcoming Kay Slay album, Rhyme or Die.

[MP3] Luu Breeze – King Kong

First single, produced by Daniel Worthy, from the forthcoming ThisTimeTomorrow mixtape by Luu Breeze who some of you may know from his cameo on the last Game album. Very “Ni**az in Paris”-style Kanye, no? ThisTimeTomorrow drops July 23rd.

Previously on The Kitchen:

– Luu Breeze – J.O.S.H. (Jealous Ones Still Hope) [Music Video]

– Rochester – Let My Tape Rock feat. Luu Breeze & K. Ryan [MP3]

Listen to the Muneshine – There Is Only Today album in FULL

This album by local rapper, Muneshine dropped a while ago (end of May to be exact) but figured I should still share it now. Drop a note if you dig (or if you don’t!) [note: alt stream link at bandcamp just in case this soundcloud link goes down]
