I hadn’t noticed the title track from the upcoming album by The Roots until now. There’s only one 16 rapping verse from Black Thought on the track, but that’s some serious spitting.

Supersci feat. Remedeeh - Get! (video)
Listened to some Supersci (Sweden) tracks from 2006, it was a while since the last time. I never knew “Get!” had a video. Really honest stuff right there.

Marco Polo - For The Future
Sorry for the lil summer break I had with the blog.
Anyway, this is not the newest stuff, but like I wrote in the Marco Polo & Masta Ace - Nostalgia post, people have been sleeping on it. “For The Future” off the “Port Authority” album is worth picking to your playlist.

PS. If you’re around Jyväskylä today or tomorrow, check “The Payback Jam“.

Pitch Black - It’s All Real (video)
A great song from the Brooklyn based group, produced by DJ Premier. It was released in 2003, but I forgot it had such a quality video.

Btw. Ain’t that Kurtis Blow on 1:27?

Gwen McCrae - 90% of Me is You/ Mobb Deep
I went thru some non-album songs by Mobb Deep and remembered “What Can I Do” from the “Free Agents” mixtape (2003). The song samples a soulful gem by Gwen McCrae.

Mobb Deep - Tight (prod. Alchemist)
Back to basics. During their 18 years long career, Mobb Deep has released a lot of dope tracks on mixtapes, b-sides and other unofficial releases in addition to the well-known albums.
One example is the following track that saw its daylight on “The Cutting Floor 2″ (2007) mixtape by The Alchemist.

Original “I Believe In Miracles” by Mark Capanni
Thanks to Pasi, I heard the original song behind the Jackson Sisters’ hit “Miracles”. I didn’t know that the song is based on a 1974 version by Mark Capanni, and a matter of fact, the original is just sooo brilliant.
The original recording might have been a promo only release, so people never had the chance to hear it. I wonder whether it had made Mark Capanni a star.

Raekwon - Ason Jones (prod. Dilla)
In case you missed this one from Rae’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2, here you go. With Dilla on the beat, this tribute to ODB sounds like Wu!

Nas & Damian Marley - Patience
Finally back, up & running!
Since Blogger forced to move all FTP-hosted blogs elsewhere (now rocking with Wordpress), apologizes for the couple of weeks of silence and thanks for the patience. Sometimes silence is golden.

PS. There’s still some bugs, but they will be removed.
