    Heard this song just there now. Pretty good song. His album's coming out soon. He's on Tech N9ne's label and he makes an appearance on it. Think Hopsin is on one of the tracks as well.

    Oh and I saw that POS from Doomtree is finished his album. No name or date on it yet. Hopefully we'll hear more details when Doomtree finish up their tour at the end of this month.

    "Pushing yayo,the young buck in the game, trying to get my 50 cents up and a name moving G units, getting my banks of the use."

    I like that line. Surprised it has not been used before actually.

    Is this a new song? 2012?.

    Looking forward to the Ab-Soul album that's out tomorrow, haven't heard anything from it, (bar one track, that I can't remember the name of) but I'm hearing great stuff about the released material :)

    The Killer Mike & El-P album is in steady rotation, Reagan and Don't Die back to back is the high point in hip hop for me this year.
    I can't believe how on point Mike and El-P's point about sounding like Ice Cube and Bomb Squad circa 1988-1991 was, that's exactly with this album reminds me of

    Was at the Brother Ali show last night in London and it was amazing. He done 4 songs from his new album and all I can say is wow, its gonna be dope. One of the beats Jake One has produced is so sick, I think i just had the gasface the whole way through.

    I'm still trying to arrange to get to one of the shows and to a Doomtree show next week. How were Grieves & Budo?

    The new Brother Ali track produced by Jake One is excellent, Ali is really attacking in his delivery. Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color is one not to be missed this year I reckon.

    Grieves & Budo were great too. They played a new track too which was great.

    I've given Killer Mike & El-p's R.A.P. Music a few spins now and I have to admit, it's excellent. I thought that after hearing Big Beast a few weeks ago that the rest of the album couldnt top that, but it does. Mike sounds so good over P's beats, such a natural fit. Big Beast is the perfect opening for the record as well.
    The things I love about the album, it's versatile, all differnt types of songs and it's not long, no boring parts.
    It's constant entertainment throughout, with lyrically and musicly loads to hear.

    I saw on Koncept's Twitter there that he's putting out an EP with J57 himself next month. Should be great.

    Also him and Soul Khan might be coming back to the UK in Autumn for another tour I suppose.

    Yeah I don't know either. You would imagine with the label they are on now they might sell really well considering they are easily one of the best groups out now.

    I hope so too. They are all amazing rappers, even though I know more of Crooked I and Royce than the other two.

    Really? I just downloaded Schoolboy Q Setbacks to see what the rest of Black Hippy have to offer.

    Also, Dj Yella is supposing to be releasing and album this year. "West Coastin'" Summer 2012.

    New DMX EP dropping tonight. Really looking forward to it but the Dre and Snoop track is actually dreadful. It's like whoever photoshopped the ep cover just remixed some x snoop and dre. And this is the 1st official single so kind of afraid what the rest is like.

    i wouldnt buy it anyway not a hope, this is the only song id call class.

    im as big a black hippy fan as anyone hear, being preaching them for ages now well before they started to blow up like they are now but i have to be honest , its a letdown.

    this is a banger but thats it imo, 2 or 3 average songs followed by rubbish.

    man that dmx track is horrible, still think he'll come with a bit of heat though. he needs this mixtape to do well and create a bit of a buzz, the single with mgk never got of the ground.

    Yeah ok thanks. Yes I would hardly call you a liar on it as you seem very big into all of the black hippy stuff not just K Lamars stuff.

    I will give it a miss and actually buy section.80 and some other stuff.

    I don't really like what I have heard of Ab Soul anyway, he is more G rap than Lamar. I don't really like his style a lot anyway. But sure I said the same for Kendrick Lamar!!!! So who knows.

    That DMX is pretty bad sounds like it was mixed with fruity loops by a 12 year old non hip-hop fan.
