Ynot + Common Sense Today XXL confirmed what I’d long heard and (kind of) known: that Rash was to reunite with No ID on his upcoming album, The Believer. What I hadn’t heard, however, was that he was also returning to the lab with the one and only THE Twilite Tone. Hey, why not? (Pow!)…

Certified Block Boys – “Angel”
Something new from Ras Rok’s collective, Certified Block Boys. They let this one fly in rememberance of Derrion Albert and the rest of the fallen soldiers. Certified Block Boys – “Angel”
Freddie Gibbs – “Thug Psalms”
And you guys wonder why Gibbs is one of my favorite emcees breathing right now. Not only does he have a great ear for beats, he also picks dope, unconquered (or rarely conquered) ‘industry’ instrumentals to rock over. Not just the standard “hot” song of the moment, that 4,000 other people have also remade. And…
Video: Mic Terror, Million $ Mano, Hollywood Holt & John James [Da Phedz] – “Freak Ass Playa” (Live)
Da Phedz, a group consisting of Mic Terror, Million $ Mano, Hollywood Holt, John James and a whole slew of others, took the stage during Mic T’s set the other night at Sub-T.

Bump J Sentenced To 10 Years
More unfortunate news for the crib. Today Terrence Boykin, also known as Bump J, was sentenced to 10 years in prison. However, as bad as this news sounds, he received the minimum sentence for both charges, 7 years for the gun and 37 months for the bank robbery. By law, these two terms have to…

Sly Polaroid feat. Kaye Fox – “Chicago State Of Mind”
I was just remarking to a friend the other day how Chicago needed some kind of anthem like Jay’s “Empire State Of Mind”, as that song seems to be one of the absolute breakout hits from Blueprint 3. Because before you know it, everyone in the country is going to be singing that tune. Well, sure enough, Sly…
