@ShyGlizzy – Too

Shy Glizzy releases a new record today entitled “Too” (G-Mix). This may be a sign of a new project (or a new leak from the already acknowledged Young Jefe that is set to drop early 2014). Let’s hope we get that official announcement soon.

@CousinBubb – 100K ft. Scarface & Saad (Prod. by Folkz)


DC native Cousin Bubb presents his latest single, “100K”, featuring rap legend Scarface along upcoming rapper Saad and a beat from Folkz (AKA Whitefolkz). Bubb has been a veteran MC for years, getting exposure from places like the Washington Post and DMVLIFE.  On “100K” he spits his braggadocios claims well, with line after line and a memorable hook (“The difference between us? A hundred thousand dollars…”).  Scarface also kills it, with angry violent verses (“”For 100 grand he can leave you face down”) before passing it to Saad, who can definitely flow too.  Folkz kills it on the production, with catchy synths, heavy bass, 808s and some guitar stabs.  This track is definitely worth checking out, Cousin Bubb is on to something.  You can stream/dl “100K” below or support on iTunes.

Stream: “Leaving London” – Ophelia Cache

Yo who thought of this?! How’d they even know this would work? …sh*t is dope though.

artworks-000023050144-ng2btx-t500x500When I read the description it said that Ophelia Cache sounded like someone you’d hear on an old phonograph or something. …Super old school. But damn is it blended well with post modern hip-hip.

Taking strong influence from Billie Holiday, Josephine Baker, Amy Winehouse, and James Blake. Ophelia‘s music is something you’d take while sippin’ your Jack and your Bourbon. …Some high class sh*t. (… Or as Ophelia would say. “A sonically sweet amaretto for the ear’s drinking pleasure.”). Posted her latest song “Leaving London”, plus a few others below. Enjoy…

BONUS: Two other joints of Ophelia‘s that I was really diggin. (“Pitty Party” being the favorite of the 2) …Not a deep repertoire, but the lady has a lot of promise.
