Future Classic: Large Pro “M.A.R.S” with Cormega, Action Bronson, Roc Marciano & Saigon
Hip-hop is having a great opening to 2012 with tons of great projects from young dudes but also some of the veterans are coming through nice with some really great stuff and this one is definitely ranking in there. Couldn’t quite recall where I heard this a few months ago …
Forgotten Treasure: Shades of Culture “Mindstate” (1998)
So I went to the 2nd edition of the Montreal Hip Hop Awards last night and found myself feeling pretty confused about the Montreal Hip Hop scene. It seems we all have our own definition of what Hip Hop is, which is to be expected but an award show in …
Future Classic: A$AP Rocky “Goldie”
You know us by now, we’re not always down with that BLOG RAP thing. But then again, rules are meant to be broken! At first glance, the new video from Harlem’s A$AP Rocky might seem like the same old boring formula and in some ways it is: expensive car (check), …
Future Classic: Apollo Brown & OC “Trophies”
Ever since we absolutely fell in love with Apollo Brown’s production skills from his part in rap collective The Left, we’ve been hooked and always anxious to hear what he’s got next on the menu. 2011’s instrumental record of the year (for us) called “Clouds” definitely confirmed for us that …
Future Classic: Ray Foxx “Butterflies” (Wookie Remix)
There is a resurgence of UKG vets brewing across the pond. A very exciting prospect for anyone passionate about the legacy they have left behind, and are still creating. Among the legends making waves is “producer stroke artist stroke remixer and odd jobs man” Wookie, who actually hasn’t released a …
Future Classic: M.E.D. ft. Hodgy Beats “Outta Control” (Madlib Production)
One of the freshest vids we’ve seen in a long long time. Who knew rap music could still be fun!

Forgotten Treasure: WAR “Flying Machine” (1973)
This is one of the ultimate forgotten jams from California’s premier funk/jazz/latin fusion band WAR; one of the biggest selling groups of the 70’s. 50 million records son! The track is from a 70’s Blaxsploitation era movie soundtrack called “Youngblood”. In all honesty, I’ve never seen it but if it’s …
Future Classic: Dead Obies “Collation vol.1”
Dead Obies you’re killing me! I honestly can’t even listen to anything else since I coped this free album on bandcamp this Saturday morning. I’m talking the kind of album that you immediately transfer to your iphone, ipod, usb, hard drive, shit you even make a CD copy cause all …
Future Classic: D’Banj “Oliver Twist”
I root for D’Banj, I really do. The Nigerian pop star is pretty much the gold standard across the entire African continent, and a recent signing to Kanye West‘s G.O.O.D. imprint is giving him the chance to live the dream of any big fish in a small pond, namely break …
