"Hallelujah" by Dilated Peoples ft. Fashawn, Rapsody, Domo Genesis, Vinnie Paz & Action Bronson

"You think that you can box with Vinnie, dummy that's obscene/
The nine milli silly dummy, but the mac is mean/
The downstairs' wild gritty, but the attic clean/
You have unbearable likeness and just a lack of being/"

This shit bangs. I love the beat and everybody on it kills it. It's from Dilated Peoples' album, "Directors of Photography" which dropped last month. Collaborations like this are great. Check it.

"Stay In Your Lane" by Swisha T, Johnny Bravo & Charron [Music Video]

"Capisce, my bitch'll leave you dropped in the streets/
I'll swing my dog on a leash until it knocks out your teeth/
Feed the beast, the demon is being re-released/
I'll motherfuckin leave a priest hangin' by a Jesus piece/"

Never heard of Swisha T & Johnny Bravo before, but I'm a fan of Charron's battles so I decided to check this out. It's not bad, the video's cool even tho some parts are a bit fucked up lol. The verses were sick tho there's a lot of hillarious lines. Check it.

EP Stream: "Labour Day EP" by Tait

My engineer is also one hell of an artist. Tait, 1/2 of The Rhythm & The Rebel, dropped a 10-track EP this morning which adds something fresh to our growing local scene. All production is done by Chase N Cashe. Check this shit out now!

"Dog Tags" by Constant Flow (Swave Sevah & Akir)

"Earth rulers, my niggas move like it's Desert Storm/
Chumps are slain and we dump the remains in the reservoir/
Check my rap sheet resume, my repetoire/
When we prep for war, I'm the first one with the weapon drawn/"

Never heard these guys before, but I found this track on Soundcloud and it's pretty dope. Some raw rap shit, they stay consistent with the rhymes. Check it!

"Diabolical Sound" by Diabolic [produced by DJ Premier]

"My cult following shares the same perspective/
They'll die for their beliefs like Dave Koresh's in Waco, Texas/
Deranged and reckless, what I say's infectious/
Plus Preem is scratchin till needles snap and break the records/"

Maaaaan this shit is amazing. Diabolic on the mic with DJ Premier on the beat. I wasn't a huge fan of that Alien Manuscript song but this one's sick. This beat kinda reminds me of Society is Brainwashed by Ill Bill [also a Preemo beat]. The title fits the beat perfectly and Diabolic kills it as usual. Check it.

"Flatline" by Fortunato [Music Video]

"You get popped if you gassed up like Texaco/
Tecs'll blow, you wanna die? Tell me yes or no/
You make a statement, I'ma promise to make an arrangement/
That's my word mothafucka, you better fuckin face it/"

Fortunato just dropped a video from him latest project, "Unseen Armada". This one's got that good old boom bap feel and some dope lyrics to accompany it. Check it.

"Junior" by Madchild

"Lookin' down, colourful botanical garden/
Robotic Jabberjaw, spit mechanical jargon/
A million other rappers fill the planet with garbage/
So I have to represent cuz Mad is Canada's hardest/"

This beat sounds like somethin that could been on Apathy's Connecticut Casual. It's got a mellow bluesy vibe, but Madchild uses it to exercise his lyrical game. This track's from Madchild's upcoming EP, "Switched On" which drops on September 30. Check it!
