Lil Chris x Bandman Kevo – Bank Roll
Over the past 24 hours, Bandman Kevo’s name has been in the press for some news unrelated to rap, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t have a bunch of records on lock stash. Today Lil Chris gives us one of their most recent collabs, “Bank Roll,” which won’t be appearing on Chris’s new mixtape, The…
Nas – The Season [Prod. by J Dilla]
Nas previewed this joint last night, but no one expected it would drop today. Sheesh. With this familiar Jay Dee beat as the back drop, God Son pays homage to the late, great producer during the best season of the year. I wish we would’ve heard something from the two of them during Dilla’s days…

If the Halloween-inspired cover is telling, will receive it before tomorrow? I don’t know for sure, but stranger things have happened….
Blended Babies f/ Asher Roth & Buddy – Sayin’ Whatever
The Blended Babies latest release, which comes as an out-of-nowhere loosie, is dedicated to the art of indifference. Asher and Buddy? They’re just sayin’ whatever.
