I had to jack this Alchemist beat off his new project A Doctor, Painter & An Alchemist Walk Into A Bar, because I’m in absolutely in love with it. In fact, I started writing this verse the moment I heard it. Thanks for the inspiration and the instrumental, Uncle Al!
*BONUS*
Here’s the one non-instrumental track off the new ALC project, “Stained Glass” featuring Westside Gunn.
New Stan Ipcus featuring Max Bent “Dope (Big Ip Don’t Play)” is out now! Available wherever you stream your music!
*Update*
Here’s a little B-Side me and Max did. Same concept and elements, but this time we flipped Jay-Z and Timbaland’s classic “Jigga What, Jigga Who.”
Jay-Z took the stage at the new and improved Webster Hall last night for his B-Sides 2 show, and it was filled with highlights—including guest appearances by Nas and Cam’ron. Of all the footage that I’ve seen, this clip of Hov doing the Blueprint 2 sleeper “Some People Hate” with the live band is my favorite. Check it out above, and check out Tidal for the full set playlist.
*Bonus*
I had this idea years ago, but all this B-Sides 2 concert footage inspired me to dig in my bag and put together a mix of all my old Stan Ipcus songs recorded on Jay-Z beats. Enjoy the mix!

LeBron rockin’ the Buellers. Wow.
Felt good being back on stage with my brother Matisyahu at The Capitol Theatre—thanks for always bringing me out to rock!
New shit by yours truly, featuring the verse I spit on Sway’s show back in May with Matisyahu.
Matisyahu’s album Undercurrent is out now! Check out our song off it “Blue Sky Playground” above. And below, watch extended footage of our performance at his album release party, as well as our appearance on Sway In The Morning (freestyle session starts 24 minutes in, don’t miss it).
Thanks so much to Matis for putting me on the album, and always setting me up to shine! And thanks for the mention in the Mass Appeal interview (what up Rob Kenner). Love!

Funny, in the trailer for the new Judd Apatow-produced comedy The Big Sick, the word “Stonehenge” comes up as they’re discussing a game called “You Can’t Rhyme It.” But yo, I just rhymed the word “Stonehenge” on my “Blue Sky Playground” verse! Movie looks good, check out the trailer below.
It’s just another day around the way with your boys Hard White and Stan Ipcus.
