what up, world? it’s new music tuesday! pass the pizza! “deadbeat” is new from ny guitar combo a place to bury strangers. the song RIPS and is our favorite from the just released “exploding head” LP. the title of “the best”, a new collaboration between lil’ wayne, kanye west, t.i. and jhey-z, is likely a bit of an overstatement; as we’re sort of “lukewarm” about the song. and despite his verse being what 6 bars?, tip (and it ain’t even close) is still on top form and again EASILY wins this collab. our man in the d, mayer hawthorne, released his debut LP “a strange arrangement” last month. the silky smooth “shiny and new” shines as one of many highlights on the record.

Raekwon - “Ason Jones”

raekwon

the chef puts on a few bars in tribute to ODB. not much needs to be said, the rhymes are solid and sincere; and the beat!, it’s a dilla instrumental and it’s b.a.n.g.i.n.! “ason jones” is our fav off the just-released “only built 4 cuban linx, pt. 2″. the album is an instant classic, pick it up.
