It’s far from rare to hear golden age veterans (or new skool artists with a strong affinity for the era) claim they’re bringing back that classic boombap, yadda, yadda, yadda. Alarm bells go off, because we’ve all heard the dull throwbacks that follow cookiecutter attempts to recreate former magic.

That being said, Jeru Tha Damaja actually backs up his claim with this particular song. A spacy beat by Large Pro, laced with Jeru’s mathematical flair and scientific sidenotes. If ‘Solar Flares’ is any indication, his upcoming EP The Hammer, which also features contributions by PF Cuttin and the Beatnuts, should bang.

"World premiere of the stand-out cut from BK trooper Illa Ghee‘s third LP, Social Graffiti, which is due 18 July. Driven by a breezy Large Professor head nodder, Ghee drops slang technology buttery enough to cover a jumbo bucket of popcorn, slyly informing us that, 'Life’s a bitch – better yet a Kardashian.'"

SmooVth & Confidence - Rap Science (cuts by D.J Technic)

After dropping subterranean classics with Sidewalk Science and Concrete Soul, Brick City veteran Beneficence is back with a new album, Basement Chemistry; which will be released on 1-29-2016 via Ill Adrenaline Records. 

Armed with the true sounds of the golden era, Benef drops rejuvenated flows and shares mics with hip-hop's elite lyricists on Basement Chemistry, including Inspectah Deck, Masta Ace, MC Eiht, El Da Sensei, AG, Dres and Chubb Rock among others.  Once again the Artifacts affiliate traps the listener into slick, thought provoking rhymes backed by hard hitting yet soulful production from DJ Spinna, Da Beatminerz, Confidence and L'Orange.

The album's formula stays true to the game, official boom-bap, with obscure samples and intricate cuts; which the albums first leak.

After releasing the first leak, “Digital Warfare,” featuring Inspectah Deck last week, Beneficence returns with the second single from the project “When The Sun Comes” featuring the legendary Masta Ace.

Lord Finesse - Here I Come (Large Pro Remix) • LTD. 45

The second in the series of Legendary emcees on beats by Marco Polo with samples that were impossible to clear... we present "Nite & Day" f/ Big Daddy Kane (Scratches by Shylow).

Taken from Marco Polo's forthcoming free-LP “Newport Authority 2” as Marco states “I’ve recorded so much quality material over the last few years and I really want to share it all. It couldn't all possibly fit on “Port Authority 2”; hence “Newport Authority 2” came to be.”

 

“Newport Authority 2” will feature appearances from Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Artifacts, Das Efx, Lil Fame (M.O.P.), Torae & Ruste Juxx all rocking over Marco’s production.

 

Yet, the project everyone should really be excited for is Marco’s “Port Authority 2” LP which will be released this spring on Soulspazm Records.  “Port Authority 2” features appearances from Organized Konfusion (yes, a new Organized Konfusion track!!), Gangrene, Talib Kweli, DJ Premier, Masta Ace, Posdnuos (De La Soul), Kardinal Offishal, Styles P, Nature, Rah Digga, Slaine, Celph Titled, Ill Bill, Large Professor, Inspectah Deck, O.C. & many many more.
