Now this is a strange one; Newcastle's Dap-C and New Orleans' Lil' Wayne on a track together. Lil' Wayne isn't usually to my taste and the jury's out on Dap-C but this release may change my mind. 'Ma Money' is a good track. I even prefer Lil' Wayne's verse over Dap-C's, in fact Wayne's is just straight fire whereas Dap's is a bit shouty and high pitched. The production is on a big dirty south tip and it stands up to some of the biggest tracks outta the south. 'Ma Money part 2' is even better, [...]

In possibly the strangest sampling move since Ironik flipped Westlife, Royce Da 5'9 raps over one of the most cheesiest euro-pop singles ever to hit foreign shores. 'Live Your Life' sees Royce rhyming over a sample of O-Zone's 'Dragostea Din Tei' but it hurts to say that it's actually a bit of a banger.
Joe Budden f/Joell Ortiz, Nino Bless, Crooked I & Royce Da 5'9" - "Slaughterhouse" Now here's a posse track that's got some legs to it. Production chores are handled by Scram Jones; click that OS-sponsored link and listen to these MCs take a bite out of the track.

Atlas Sound - "Maybe Logic" / "Maybe Logic" = another great track from Atlas Sound. The virtual 7-inch single is over at the usual place . Starfucker - "Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second" / I had never heard of Starfucker before posting that "German Love" song , but this other track here that I found via Palms Out confirms that they are great at making songs that would fit right into a Wes Anderson movie. Royce Da [...]

Yesterday marked the first day of fall, and the Gramophone offered up a great show to bring in the new season. There wasn't a barstool to be found as some of the best names in Midwest hip-hop performed to a standing-room-only crowd. Trackstar the DJ handled the turntables, while Vandalyzm hosted a local lineup that is becoming very familiar at the south city venue. First up was the "Northside Phenomenon" Rockwell Knuckles , who broke in some new material on the crowd. It's always a pleasure to watch Rocky [...]
In honor of my preview of Monday's Royce Da 5'9" show at the Gramophone , I caught up with Rockwell Knuckles , one of several local acts (along with Gotta Be Karim, Family Affair, Gangsta Gritz and Kenny Knox ) opening up for the Detroit underground legend. After praising Royce as "a beast monster when it comes to expression," Mr. Knuckles was happy to provide an update on the status of the Black Spade-produced follow up to his debut, Northside Phenomenon. "It's gonna be my [...]
