New DZA from his upcoming album album….via Rolling Stone:

“It’s very surreal!” Smoke DZA tells Rolling Stone of working alongside an idol, one with whom he’ll be releasing a collaborative LP later in the year. “Ghost of Dipset,” DZA says, sounds to him like “an old Arsonist Dipset joint. When I was recording it I was like, ‘Man, it feels like the ghost of Dipset is in the room.'”

DZA was first formally introduced to Cam’ron by Roc-A-Fella records co-founder Damon Dash when performing at a showcase hosted by producer Ski Beatz at Manhattan’s Mercury Lounge last summer. “After I got off the stage,” recalls DZA, “Cam came up to me and was like, ‘You really dope, bro. You’ve got the shit!'”

Since meeting, Smoke DZA and Cam’ron have becomes fast friends, the latter even allowing DZA to sit in on studio sessions with him and Jim Jones.

“I was just sitting there watching them work,” DZA says. “It’s crazy that I’m even a part of this!”

Stream: “Divas At The Disco” – Topaz Jones (Prod by Thelonious Martin)

…The production on this track by Thelonious Martin is what really sold me. But newcommer Topaz Jones drops a nice set of J. Cole-like bars to top it off.

An ill track… with some smoothly chopped up old soul samples that’l have you singing “Damn Damn Damn James….”. Haha… That’s Thelonious Martin‘s signature style though. Sample heavy and mean. #dope. An instant sell to any fans of Dilla, Just Blaze, Doom, Madlib, Alchemist, etc. #justlisten

“Divas At The Disco”. Enjoy…

Cool cat. Gutta-like Mobb Deep delivery. Pretty ill spitter at times. Check him out. “Special Jim.”

“In The City” – Thelonious Martin x Evan Holt

“Aight… I got the heavy groovin…” Gritty raps with a gangsta 70’s groove. #ChicagoSoul …Loved this.

avatars-000027346350-engar3-t500x500Held down nicely with the rhymes by Evan Holt, but the real beauty of this track comes from the production of rising star Thelonious Martin.

“Gathering influence from J Dilla, Madlib, MF DOOM, Pete Rock, Just Blaze, and The Alchemist Thelonious Martin brings a sound like no other.”

#PureCocaine …The samples are too dope!

So if you’re into that smooth old school / new school feel, check “In The City” out. Posted it below. Enjoy…
