Just when you thought they were done for the year, those Michigan area musicians drop yet another incredible project on us. This time around, singer AB fills a 17 track mixtape with some of the brightest neo-soul and hardest hitting hip-hop of the year. As if that weren’t enough, the features on here add an extra layer of dopeness to this project. Guests include 14KT, Black Milk, Elzhi, T3, Phat Kat, Eric Roberson, and Bishop Lamont. Check it out and leave us your thoughts.

Welcome to the weekly rundown where we (soulsupreme and marty) provide you with our top ten headlines for the week that was.
1. Guru declares; “I am Gang Starr” ??? This just in: Above-average rappers who blew up thanks to a legendary producer need to shut up. Guru’s proclamation that he was Gang Starr is insulting to everybody on this planet. Does he not realize just how much he owes to Premo? PSA: Artists who feud with the DJ/producers never win; see CL Smooth
2. RUN-DMC get inducted in to the Rock & Roll hall of Fame. Congrats to the pioneers and a R.I.P. shout out to Jam Master Jay. I wish he was still alive to see it. We look forward to another induction when hip-hop has its own hall.
3. Hamilton-gate: Charles Hamilton beat-jacking Black Spade. We’re happy to see a negative scenario produce a positive outcome. Thank you, Charles, for giving us and others a reason to play Black Spade’s topnotch To Serve With Love again.
