FWMJ just liberated this Jay Electronica joint at his spot a bit earlier today, and it couldn’t be more necessary. With knowledge orated from Micheal Jackson to Jay himself, calling this song the truth would be an understatement. Another loosie off of the “Scratches & Demo Tape Vol. I” we caught a glimpse of earlier this month, it’s safe to say the completion of this project should be Jay’s priority…

DJ Exile’s demonstrates his mastery of the MPC on this latest video spotted at OKP. The reinterpreted renditions includes some classic Hieroglyphics, and also a sample from Lil Wayne’s “A Milli” produced by Bangladesh. Watch Exile exude his musical capabilities below the break folks…

This footage of the double entendre dubbed Idle Warship (Talib Kweli, Res & Graph Noble), is perhaps the best behind the scenes of the newly conjoined group to date. Journey with them through NYC as they hit in the studio, then party it up with Talib Kweli helming the 1s and 2s (or Serato for that matter). Peep the footage after the break, and isn’t that ‘suavemente‘ joint like like the Latino up in the club? They shut it down when that cut comes on…

I really didn’t think I’d hear some substantial non-hyphy bay area music for a while, but low and behold, new Souls of Mischief… These East Oakland hailing cats have apparently been chilling from 93 till, because essentially nothing has changed. Stay tuned for information on their upcoming LP “Montezuma’s Revenge”, and definitely give the joint a spin to see what NorCal Hip-Hop was like before you were forced to go Stupid, Retarded, Autistic, get Parkinson’s… Or whatever their doing up there right now.

On tangent: Statik Selektah & Souls of Mischief in the Studio | Souls of Mischief chop it up with Loud

Wafeek who also hails by Allah Wafeek is an upcoming MC that definitely caught my ear. This video for ‘The Hollows’ was initially spotted at TSS, and apparently they’ve just dropped a mixtape in conjunction with Trackstar the DJ to promote this cat. The music video’s visuals are more then impressive, and are the perfect tandem to this cat’s unorthodox flow. Experience ‘The Hollows’ after the break, and if you feeling this brotha one iota don’t hesitate to cop his premier Mixtape…

Yes the same talented artist who conjured up all the previous De La Soul album art, is at is again. No Hip-Hop inspired clothing this time around, but simply a reinterpretation like only he can. So if your diggin’ this “Renaissance” redo, definitely check out his new site Artilleryds which features plenty more artistic eye candy…

Format magazine has re-shot 20 classic Hip-Hop album covers with essentially everyone’s childhood favorite, LEGOs. Hilarity definitely ensues so head over to their spot to check it out…
