That's right, Mr. Ali is back with a free EP for the masses; The Bite Marked Heart is a new 7 track EP of all original material. I'm particularly stoked about this one because Brother Ali does the majority of his work on this project with Jake One ; of course, Ali did a couple tracks with ANT as well. If you remember Jake One's album White Van Music , then you know that he works very well with Ali. Upon seeing the tracklisting, I instantly became fixated on track [...]

As I mentioned in the Freddie Gibbs and Madlib post the other day, I'm not usually the type of person that posts "teaser trailers", but this is a different story. "Falling Down" is arguably my favorite track from last year, and Cats & Dogs was my album of the year in 2011; it looks like the video (directed by Todd Angkasuwan ) is going to be just as epic as the hard hitting track by Evidence and Rahki . Evidence is one of my favorite emcees in the game right now; I can't make [...]

Minneapolis emcee, Brother Ali, is the TRUTH. I absolutely love this dude's raps. If you don't have his albums, you are not winning. Signed to Rhymesayer Entertainment, homeboy is one of the dopest rappers in the game. I love his style and his sensibility. He's humble, his raps are honest and heartfelt and he just kills it. Enjoy this new track he just let go, produced by Seattle's Jake One. Writer's Block - Brother Ali - Right Click/ Save Link As to Download

As is often the case with artists that earn critical acclaim, 'backpackers' favourite, LA's Dilated Peoples never seemed to be able to turn that praise into the commercial success they deserve. With four albums under their belts, DJ Babu , Rakaa Iriscience and Evidence decided to take a break from recording as a group and focus on their solo careers. Of the group's two lyricists, it is Evidence that has successfully managed to maintain something of a cult following in an increasingly crowded hip hop market. [...]

Photo: John Henry Baliton Substance abuse is nothing to scoff at but Grieves turns his addiction into addictive raps to dictate the subject matter on Together/Apart . When life deals you lemons, you find a way to make a drug out of them and get higher than the debt ceiling. Empty bottles and extinguished blunts are tell-tale signs of the scene of a Grieves aftermath and directors Clement & Co. and Dugan O'Neal highlight the happenings of such wayward experiences in the "Against The Bottom" and "On The Rocks" [...]
