Shouts to Hevehitta for sending this one over. Taking inspiration from Style Wars , he flipped this 15-track mix, with a focus on the art of Graffiti: " If you are not familiar with The Writers Bench, it was a meeting place located at 149th Street Grand Concourse where graffiti writers would talk graffiti, make plans, sign black books and settle disputes. The main activity was watching art on the passing trains (known as benching). The writers would admire and criticize the latest paintings ". [...]

Fresh off the heels of his Gangrene collaboration with MC/Producer Oh No, The Alchemist steps back into the spotlight announcing his latest project, Russian Roulette, dropping on record label/production house/idea shop Decon on July 17th.

First, New York starts to love rap again. Then New York rappers start to love each other again. Then we get shit like this. This is the first leak off Mayhem Lauren 's Respect the Fly Shit , recorded at SXSW (in the Embassy Suites, Room 243 to be exact according to Dante ), follows a simple formula: dope rhymes + dope beats [...]

Meyhem Lauren is a total bruiser of a rapper and a fixture on New York's vital-as-fuck underground rap scene, and he's also the man responsible for this amazing album cover . During SXSW, he got together with a bunch of friends and recorded his Respect The Fly Shit album, which, given the talents of everyone involved, should be awesome. On first taste "Special Effects," he hooks up with old friend Action Bronson and Das Racist's Himanshu, and all three go in over a beat from Harry Fraud, a producer who is just ripping motherfuckers to pieces right [...]

For a change of pace, Victor recorded all of these tracks in Oakland - way on the other side of the country from DR's NYC [...]

Do you really need me telling you that Action Bronson is a beast? Or that Party Supplies makes a grip of heat on the boards? If I do, then shit - what the fuck were you listening to in 2011? In any case, Complex and Reebok, two brands I don't really get behind too tough, backed this, so shouts to them for that. You get a free project of great Rap. Presented by DJ Booth . Drink it down slow.
