Pusha t - Fear of God

One half of Clipse just released their first mixtape, under Kanyes G.O.O.D Music imprint. Pusha has always been the more engaging out of him and Malice, and certainly the one I'd prefer to listen to for a whole solo disk. Still, he's not entirely unsupported in his venture. 50 Cent, the baws Rick Rozzay and (the actual boss) Kanye show up to rap over typically synth heavy beats. Pusha pushes himself lyrically on some tracks, but mainly sticks to the standard rapping about selling coke. It works for him though, and the whole thing goes incredibly hard so no complaints.

CunningLynguists just dropped a new album, titled as above. Producer Kno released a record last year that was big on beats but a bit light on decent rapping. That seems remedied on this release, which you can listen to for free over at their Bandcamp. The music is more about atmosphere than huge bangers, but it seems like a perfect sort of late night listen. The stream link is here and it should be available to buy physically next week.

Atmosphere

Slug was on 6music today, I think because Nemone liked the video with the dog. I'm not entirely sure if Nemone likes music (except the Smiths, any excuse to play the Smiths) but fair play for having Slug on. It is also nice to know that being a failed Greek athlete qualifys you for a lunch time 6music slot. I'm a failed British athlete, infact I fail at a whole bunch of shit, regularly ! Give me a job yo.

Interview is buried in here somewhere.

The Original Dom Kennedy

A really impressive amount of high quality mixtapes have dropped this year. This one by Dom Kennedy is my favourite at the moment. Really smooth update on the traditional West Coast sound. At some point I'll do a summary of all the best free hip-hop posted up since January, for now just feast on this.

Two tracks off The Giving Tree EP, out (for free I think but I could be very wrong) April 20th. Not feeling the second MC on Wizards of the Coast but you know, it's about pirates and shit so its all fine by me.

Can also grab last years 'Tribute To The Lakes' EP by cliking me.

This is either incredibly catchy or irritating in the same way getting repeatedly jabbed in the eye is. Or maybe it's both. It is, at the very least, interesting.
