Work For It x PooBear

With seven days left and counting until the highly anticipated Music For My Friends hits stores, Skyzoo presents the vinyl/cassette only bonus track, "Hands Folded Together", featuring Detroit wordsmith Elzhi. Produced by Skyzoo's touring DJ and Mobile Kitchen's own DJ Prince, the grit and soul in the track is exactly what the two punchline specialists needed to flex on. 

Says Sky of the song; "our fans and supporters have been requesting a full-on Skyzoo & Elzhi bar fest for some time now. While working on MFMF, my man DJ Prince played me this beat, and upon hearing it I felt like now was the perfect time to put it all in motion and get the festivities underway. The song is just a full on barrage of lyrics, true pen work at its finest indeed. The beat is exactly what a Skyzoo & Elzhi record should sound like, and if you know El and I, you know what to expect and then some. This one was strictly for our die-hard supporters who know what our reps were built on". 

While only available to own via the upcoming vinyl and cassette versions of the album, you can stream the song here now. The album, "Music For My Friends", features Jadakiss, Black Thought, Bilal, !llmind, Jahlil Beats, Apollo Brown and more, and hits stores and online retailers June 23rd via First Generation Rich, Inc./Empire, and can be pre-ordered here: http://smarturl.it/MFMF

Dear Flint (Prod by Janye)

A few months ago, I did a freestyle for the God Dr. Dre's Pharmacy show on Beats 1 radio, which was played on the show and rang off online upon it airing. That being said, I decided to formally release it on the 'net for you all, being that it's one of my favorite freestyles (which by the way was completely off the top, no writtens or lines from the tuck), with some of my favorite bar work, over one of my favorite beats. Enjoy, and do remember, tomorrow, Saturday May 14th is the "Power of Words" writing workshop in Brooklyn NY. Log on to www.blapkits.com for info on how to get tickets, exact location and how to get involved.

DJ Shadow, widely acknowledged as a crucial figure in the development of experimental, instrumental hip-hop, has returned with ‘The Mountain Will Fall’ via Mass Appeal Records [and Believe Digital in France], his first full length release since 2011. The 12-track album finds DJ Shadow exploring new realms in addition to the deep samples and kinetic soundscapes that helped to launch his career 20 years ago. On ‘The Mountain Will Fall’ he’s shifted further toward original composition, a vast experimentation of beats and textures, synthesizers and live instruments including horns and woodwinds. The album features Run The Jewels, Nils Frahm, Matthew Halsall, Ernie Fresh and more.
 
The album is available in all formats with artwork designed by Paul Insect including a gatefold double LP. Order 'The Mountain Will Fall' here: https://DJShadow.lnk.to/TMWFYT
