From the upcoming Blood on the Chef's Apron, Rae and AZ cook up a sweet track called Whips and Kicks. Whips and Kicks

I went out to Coachella this weekend and, for the most part, I wasn't really that impressed. A lot of acts just don't know how to get the crowd going. One band that is the complete opposite of this is Dr. Dog . They were very impressive. It was my third time seeing them and I was blown away, again. They might be my favorite act out there right now. Even when they were having some sound problems with one of the guitars on stage, it was still an awesome set. I think their most [...]

Raekwon and AZ link up to bring you Whips and Kicks , the first track off Raekwon's mixtape, Blood On Chef's Apron , which will be released on May 2nd, hosted by DJ Absolut. I swear not even a week ago I was wondering what was up with AZ... then come the Legendary cover, and now this feature on Raekwon's Whips and Kicks. Hopefully Sosa aka AZ starts to drop consistently. Raekwon delivers that raw uncut underground hip hop music sound with his signature flow on Whips and Kicks. Blood On [...]

"All you ****** talk about is Whips & Kicks...yall need to cut it out" Raekwon - Whips & Kicks ft. AZ

Raekwon ft. AZ " Whips & Kicks ": Here's a snippet/leak from Rae's Blood On Chef's Apron mixtape, which drops May 2nd. Shouts to Mr. X .

Props to Rizoh for the leak of this information. AZ is making his return with Legendary, his 8th studio album. Legendary will drop on June 2nd and has features from Sheek Louch and Hell Rell. I guess I was indulging in a little too much wishful thinking to really believe just maybe, just maybe we'd see another Nas/AZ collaboration in the near future. What was I thinking.... seriously? Anyhow, I hope AZ got some better production this go-round. I'm really looking forward to more material from AZ, but his last [...]

One of the reasons I think that The Firm might be one of my all time favorite albums is this song, Phone Tap. While a lot of rappers like to casually drop rhymes about how they be textin' they honeys and gettin' pages from they boyz, The Firm knows that the reality is that anyone can be listening into these conversations. This track is basically a phone conversation between what sounds like two drug dealers, and the listener is able to hear both their conversation the radio traffic of the authorities tapping their phones. [...]

Kinda slow this Monday. I'm still recovering from the knowledge that the Ravens were the victims of some very dubious refereeing yesterday against the Steelers . I was salty for a minute. But nothing like some music to get the week really going. I know it's nothing new, but there aren't many mix tapes that one would recommend as must-have purchases, and this is one of the rare few. This joint came out a couple of years ago, but I always end up coming back to it. Everybody knows Just Blaze is a [...]

Oooooh ooh ooh! Such the perfect title. They take a funky dope n' jazzy beat and just take turns beating the shit out of it . All the kids in Hiero are beasts in their own right but I always thought A-Plus from Souls of Mischief was underrated. He was nasty as nasty can be but was somehow consistently overshadowed by Del and Casual with their bigger than life personalities & styles. Check out his verse starting @ 3:43 in. I had to rewind it like 8 [...]
No particular reason for this post, besides the fact that it's always interesting to me how certain themes in any musical genre are constantly repeatedly and recreated through the years. Country music has it's odes to pick-up trucks, rock has its songs about unattainable hot women and hip-hop has it's only sub-genre of tracks about shiesty females out to take a playa's hard earned paper stacks. From "Sally's Got a One Track Mind" to Elzhi 's recent "Save Ya," there are literally hundreds of songs on this particular subject. But in my opinion, AZ 's "Ho Happy Jackie" [...]

by bmac I saw Cold War Kids last night @ the TLA in Philly, and they absolutely killed it. I didn't really know what to expect going into the concert because I was hoping for a high energy show but their new album, Loyalty to Loyalty , is a little on the slow side. Luckily they put together an amazing set list that had the crowd jamming and bouncing off the walls. I thought the place was gonna collapse when St. John dropped. [...]
