I’m glad this joint got a video because I never got round to posting it on the site (due to relocation to a different country) and I feel it went a little under the radar.
Although produced by J-Love this sounds as if it’s straight from Large Pro’s playbook with those pulsating drums, piano licks and smooth vocals.
The video itself is nothing special but serves its purpose of raising the track to the surface again. If you like this then be sure to get your hands on J-Love’s Egotistical Maniac here. Oh and I’d also recommend Large Professor’s The LP which officially dropped in ’09 but was recorded way back in the mid 90′s and sounds just like this.

Late, late, late on this but well worth the wait. Hell, I didn’t even know Neek and Xtra P had an LP coming out. *Shakes head*.
Anyway, here’s some visuals to their LP entitled Still On The Hustle.
Some general points to make about Neek and Xtra P for those unfamiliar. Neek The Exotic’s 2003 Exotic’s Raw and pretty much anything from Large Pro is hot. Large Professor is probably the nicest producer on the mic that the industry has seen.
Cop that project, out tomorrow, here.

The elusive Jeru The Damaja has confirmed in a recent interview that he has a new album coming with production from Large Professor, JuJu from the Beatnuts, Pete Rock and hopefully DJ Premier!
Jeru also speaks some wisdom as always on the current state of hip-hop and on receiving a shout-out from Gucci Mane. Jeru recently visited Toronto for a Guru tribute show with Canibus and R.A. The Rugged Man. Damn. Hip-hop lives. Watch the full video here.

Nas fans pay attention because without Main Source and Large Professor, we wouldn’t have had Illmatic. You see Main Source were the first act to put Nas on. Remember the intro to Illmatic? Well those Nas vocals were from Main Source’s Live At The BBQ from their brilliant 1991 debut Breaking Atoms. Anyway, I digress.
Here’s (perhaps) my favourite joint from Main Source; a cut from the somewhat politically-incorrect titled motion-picture White Men Can’t Jump. (N.B. Some Heads get caught up between the original and this remix but the differences are minimal so we’re rolling with this as it happens to be the audio I have).

One for the Heads this lazy Sunday afternoon. The Organized Konfusion legend teams up with Xtra P to drop this socially-conscious joint for us to enjoy.
Not much else to comment on here apart from I wonder if Po’s heard this before?

Holy hip-hop Batman, what a lineup!
The video here is a trailer for the track released earlier today, which is worth watching to get a feel for the full track (which is available below).
The production is instantly likeable, as vintage melodies are allowed to slide over some simple drum work to deliver a retro, positive hip-hop production that matches the stature of the rappers involved.
On the rare occasions he emerges, it’s great to hear Havoc on a mic, and that novelty is certainly clouding my judgement on best verse, here even though his contribution is short. Cons dominates most of the track though, hence there’s probably no ‘competition’ to be had. Definitely worth grabbing for the hip-hop heads.

I’m going away this weekend to the city they named the big apple after (after Amsterdam sold it to the UK). So, with beer in hand, I’ll leave you with a few drops from over the past few days for you to enjoy in my absence. I’ve obviously got a joint with G Rap on, I’ve got some new Reks from his upcoming mixtape, some new Joell Ortiz (standard) and a revamped version of an AZ classic.
Hit the jump for the links and a bit of pre-match analysis.

Murray: December 24, 2009
So I think we are all in agreement: 2009 has been quite a year for hip-hop. It has seen the return of Em, Jay has completed his Blueprint trilogy and 50 has had so much beef you would think he will be full up for Xmas (*cringes*. Yeah that was bad).
Aside from the big names dropping their albums, we have also seen some highly anticipated underground acts dropping LP’s too. This is my Best Of ’09 list and contains some real gems so don’t let the year go past before getting your hands on these.
Enjoy.
