Brooklyn veteran spit kicker Shabaam Sahdeeq has returned with his fifth studio album, Keepers Of The Lost Art. The relentless lyricist delivers a body of work that puts his lyrical aptitude at the forefront, while placing an emphasis on top shelf production and cuts, courtesy of Ran Reed, Lewis Parker, DJ Dister, DJ Ready Cee and DJ Skizz, to name a few.

What originally started as 40 tracks, 'Keepers Of The Lost Art' was eventually boiled down to 20, reflecting S-Dub's most comprehensive long play release to date. The LP details his motivation to stay in the game and fight for the culture with bars as tough as the mic in his hand. The production runs the gamut from laid back as exemplified by the nostalgic piano chords on the Lewis Parker produced "Walk with the Light," to electrifying, as demonstrated by the DJ Skizz produced street banger "That Dope," which boasts features from Brooklyn's premiere panderer Wais P, and the lyrically sharp Sha Stimuli. And complain no more club deejays, Shabaam has you covered for a dance friendly cut to spin late Friday nights with the DJ Wonder produced "Fall In Line." It's safe to call it a comeback as his rhymes are as polished today, as they were when he made his Rawkus debut in '97 with "Arabian Nights" B/W "Side 2 Side."

Artistically, the album cover reveals a scenario where Hip-Hop's younger generation discovers the cultural keepsakes of yesteryear. From a solid gold boombox, to jewel crusted crowns, drum machines, and outboard gear, S-Dub is here to confront the generational disconnect, as spelled out on the Eric Rico featured "Grown Man Hustle" -- "Some of these young boys consider me a throwback, I birthed your style you need to give me my flow back," spits S-Dub. When explaining the album cover, Shabaam states: "Imagine the world came to an end in an apocalypse and some kids survived in a bunker. Now when the dust settles and the smoke is gone, the kids come out the bunker and discover a treasure chest in an old music store that contains all the elements of Hip-Hop, and started having fun with it." Whether you see it as a time capsule or the last defense of Hip-Hop's watchmen, Keepers Of The Lost Art could be played ten years ago, today, and ten years from now with high praise. 

'Keepers of the Lost Art' includes guest features from the likes of Tragedy Khadafi, REKS, El Gant, Wais P, Sha Stimuli, Skyzoo, F.T., Mic Handz, General DV (DV Alias Khrist), Spit Gemz, and Bekay among others, and becomes available April 22nd via digital download and CD, through Below System.

Welcome to Week 9 of "Rain Check Mondays". This is a song I did with REKS, Dynas, and Jon Hope. Hope you like the story!

Story:

"My dude REKS always puts together amazing combinations with MC's on his tracks. Dynas, from Florida and John Hope from Rhode Island. The beauty of file transfers at work. These are 2 cats that I had wanted to work with and REKS was able to facilitate it. Good looks homie!

This was one of my favorite beats that I had made at the time. The cuts for the hook were already recorded before I sent it to them so, it was a fill-in-the-blanks type of song. I had never met Dynas or John Hope, but was looking forward to them hopping on the track.

Recently, I happened to comment on one of Dynas' Facebook posts. This was 3 years after the song was recorded. I mentioned that I was a fan and that I loved his verse on "My Word". He was like "oh shit, that was you who made that beat?!?" We've since then been in contact, shared fatherhood stories, and have plans to work more in the future.

If this had been 20 years ago, a song like this would never have happened. I feel blessed to live in a time where I can record an entire album with someone hundreds or thousands of miles away. I mean, look at what happened with Foreign Exchange? 

North Carolina to The Netherlands...and they were Grammy nominated. Beautiful."

Cincinnati's legendary group is back !
For this new project Mood is equipped by Mil's production skills and of course the label is EFFISCIENZ.
This choice makes a lot of sense as Mil's beats perfectly fit Mood's musical universe.
He provides a neat musical backdrop that gives discretion to the two emcees to shine and develop their lyrics.
Thoughtful texts, addictive flows, Donte & Main Flow, the two emcees of the group perfectly complement and deliver a consistent album that will please the fans of Ohio's finest combo.

The first single "The Machine" displays the grandiose neat musical backdrop that gives discretion to the two emcees to shine and develop their lyrics. Into The Mood is coming 9.18.15.

New Jersey's Tru Trilla releases his new album "God of Barz" through New Dawn Records on May 29th, the follow up to his EP "The Seymour Chronicles" which dropped on March 17th.

Production on the new album is courtesy of Newark native (now resident in LA) Clinton Place aka Jamal Nueve, Chicago's DNA Beatz, Barcelona's Sumerio Square and the UK's Chat One. Fellow 050 Boyz group member Prince Ak is included in the Brick City contingent of featured artists together with Fly Kwa, Middy Murdock and Confucious.  

This one's for the heads, raw and uncompromising, the energy is intense as Tru tackles political tensions, corruption, equal opportunities and the current state of hip hop delivered in a series of fierce and passionate rhymes over a raucous soundtrack that will give the neck muscles a serious work out.   

First single "Word of God" produced by DNA Beatz aims the gloves at state sponsored oppression and delivers multiple knock out blows.  Crank this up full dial !
