This is heat.
More fire from Alchemist, this time featuring Westside Gunn, Conway and ScHoolboy Q. Crazy.
This Red Bull Music Academy session with Q-Tip is over two hours long and about five years old, but it’s fucking incredible. Watch the interview above (or peep the abridged podcast version HERE), then listen to the playlist I made below that was inspired by it, featuring my favorite Q-Tip ATCQ songs, solo joints, features, collabos and outside productions.
*Update*
Not exactly related, but here’s a dope RBMA article by the great Philip Mlynar on the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, a place where I did one of my first open mic performances ever. Read HERE.
Dope video for one of the most fire rap tracks of the year.
Beastie Boys legends Ad-Rock and Mike D are today’s guests on Stretch and Bobbito’s NPR podcast What’s Good, and if you’re a Beastie Boys lifer like me, it’s a must listen. They talk about their early days coming up in the New York punk scene, the golden era of Def Jam Records, mourning MCA, and their new Beastie Boys book. Listen and read excerpts form the interview HERE.
RIP MCA.

During the “Impression Session” of the podcast, Bobbito plays this 2017 Tanika Charles record “Soul Run”—pretty dope…
This movie is so fucking good. Best movie I’ve seen in a long, long time. Incredible performances by Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, great music, great love story, solid supporting cast that includes Dave Chappelle and Andrew Dice Clay—it’s got everything. Watch the trailer above, and check out my favorite song off the soundtrack below…
This is beautiful, props to Knxwledge on the track. White Bronco out November 1st!
Here’s another new one by Roc Marciano and DJ Muggs. Kaos is on the way!
One of my favorite rap tracks of the year just got the visual treatment.
This is so fucking fire. Roc is not letting up on cats this year, at all—I love it.
Stay tuned for the full Roc Marciano and DJ Muggs collaborative project Kaos, available now for pre-order HERE. And sounds like there’s more Roc Marci coming before the end of the year, too.
