Damn, what’s it with our old-schoolers getting back on it? First we have the Wu/Block connect coming hard, now not to be beaten, two-thirds of the Def Squad (plus the ever-present Mef) team up for a heater sounding straight out of ’95. This is some classic Erick Sermon right here and heads will be clamouring to get their hands on this.
We don’t know where this is from yet, but no complaints from the industry on this one.

From Redman’s upcoming Reggie album due to drop December 7th. Red enlists long-time collaborator Mef to spit a very tidy verse and the help of everyone’s everyman Bun B who also smashes his bars to pieces. It’s the production which to a certain element lets this joint down; Not exactly the type of boardwork you would expect the East Coast duo over, and undoubtedly suits Bun’s Southern roots better. The chorus is terrible, but the verses make up for it. This will get a few spins though.

Overrating The Underrated’s July Snapshot

In 1999 two of New York’s finest MC’s came together to create not only one of the 90’s most memorable rap albums, but an album spearheaded by one of the 90’s most memorable rap songs.
That’s right, we’re talking Wu-Tang’s Method Man and Def Squad’s Redman with their debut LP Blackout! and their cornerstone single Da Rockwilder. The album’s hyped success saw it go platinum less than three months after it’s release date and is considered amongst many hip-hop advocates as a debut classic.

Interesting one to kick off your day, and I’m quite looking forward to giving this a listen. A good group of decent artists pay homage to Cypress Hill, including Asher Roth, Styles P, Sheek Louch, Redman and buzzing man of the moment Yelawolf (amongst others). Should be a fairly entertaining listen, and includes some of Cypress Hill’s classics in there too.

Bizarre has always been true to his name: not only does his penchant for shower caps seem strange, but his lyrical content has always been very unusual. This, however, goes pretty hard.
Biz’s verse isn’t the worst as he brings some real intensity, and the guest verses are all pretty gritty too. This beat definitely bangs, and this is one for the real hip-hop heads to check out. Part-time hip-hop fans need not apply, as this stuff will probably scare you a little.
