Hip-hop. That’s what (I hope) we’re all here for right? Well it don’t get no better than this. Wu and The LOX come through with their first offering from their upcoming collaborative album Wu-Block. RZA crafts driving horns yet thankfully mixes things up sporadically throughout tailoring things perfectly for each emcees to drop those characteristically heavy bars. Now this is some Supreme Clientele Ghostface. Top stuff.

Imagine how this sounds before you click play and you’re pretty much there; over a rolling piano loop each emcee drop hard body verses. Would you gangsta rap fans have it any other way?
With that classic early to mid 90′s sound with the production, this song is all about a hella amount of top-level lyricists doing what they do best. A great beat can make any artist sound good, but only the truly special emcees can take average beats, or looping posse cut type beats such as this one and make it into an enjoyable track. I’m unsure as to has the best verse on this, I’m going to need to listen to it a lot more before I come to any real conclusions, but on first impressions Royce takes it for me. Great to see Slaughterhouse on their grind again, what with their other recent track announcing their return. Slaughterhouse – Put Some Money On It (Remix) ft. The Lox (Jadakiss, Sheek Louch & Styles P) The momentum for Capone-N-Noreaga’s The War Report 2 is really starting to pick up speed. After leaking three tracks from the album already (available after the click), here are the visuals for the latest track Pain. Overseen by the Wu’s Raekwon, The War Report 2 will be released on July 13th and features appearances from Raekwon himself, Nas, Busta Rhymes and The LOX. For those who can’t wait until July 13th, their Camouflage Season mixtape can be downloaded for free here. After the click is the artwork, tracklist and a few goodies from the album! I’m so kind to you aren’t I?
Anyway, in complete contrast to that, pick up two tracks below featuring 5 rappers on each. One is full of Eastside rappers, and the other with 5 from the West which makes for a nice bit of variety for you. Capone-N-Noreaga-Bodega Stories ft. The LOX 40 Glocc-Welcome To Cali ft. Snoop Dogg, E-40, Too $hort and Xzibit
