Vandalyzm just sent over his 2008 album, Megatron Majorz, if you had missed it the first time around. It’s good to see some upcoming emcees like Vandal make big moves by putting out some fresh music like this, and it should be interesting to see what he does in the near future (double LP this summer!). Right from the intro, Vandalyzm let’s you know that he is going to hit you over and over again during this 80 minute lyrical adventure, hitting you time and time again with punch lines and witty wordplay. The album features some high-energy production from cats like Khrysis, Swiff D, Flying Lotus, 14KT, Black Spade, and more. Vandalyzm produces a good share of the tracks on the record as well. Check it out and let us know what you think…

Here is a leak off of DJ K.O. upcoming remix project for Beat*Society, Picture These Remixes. This one features an all-star line-up of emcees including Skyzoo, Emilio Rojas & Median as well as an excellent production performance from the homie 14KT. Peep the track and watch out for more information and leaks from the project in the coming weeks… Enjoy! (Props to KN)

Here we have yet another download from Rhode Island-emcee Theo that originally premiered on imeem. Last week, he brought us the upbeat banger “Checkin’ In”. And now we have “Clould 9″, a smooth joint featuring a beat and vocals from Christian Rich. Although vocoder usually ain’t our thing, Rich uses it sparingly. Also, he more than makes up for it with the sparkling beat. The fun-loving, fresh rapper has certainly caught our attention over the months, both with his live performance and leaked tracks. But here’s hoping it leads a full-length or at least some kind of EP, because we could all use some more Theo.
