The homie Jabee just sent over some real heartfelt business today, an ode to his brother that he lost a year ago. With the help of The ARE on the boards, this is something you will not want to miss. It’s always nice to see emcees spit about their personal lives once and a while, it gives us a new dimension that we might not have had from just listening to their usual work. Check this out and let us know what you think!

Khal sent over these two joints the other day, and I thought I could shed some light on them this week. Some classic boom-bap sound from these golden age emcees, with a refreshing twist from The ARE. You also get interesting features from Brother J of X-Clan and YZ. Give them a spin and give us your thoughts….

Houston producer The ARE is back with his latest offering IRAN. If you’re fan of the Manipulated Marauders project he previously released like myself then you’ll be excited for this new collection. This project is dedicated to the people of Iran who continue to fight for peace and democracy in their country. Props to RIK

My boy Element just hit me the latest joint off his upcoming mixtape: If I Was A Woman, I’d **** Me Too. Don’t let the mixtape title throw you. The track is real smooth and doesn’t hurt to get The ARE on production. Please let us know what you think about this joint right here. Enjoy!
