During an interview with Detroit’s WJLB Morning Show, eLZ kicks a verse off his ELmatic project (that NEEDS to be release asap) over Kinda Like a Big Deal. He also speaks on the Slum Village break up; T3; his fucked up contract; his relationship with Kanye, Dwele and more. Check the interview here.

Here comes the third single from the upcoming Jason James & Rodney Hazard album, Marvelous World of Color. Although “Go” is a bit less experimental than its two predecessors, it is perhaps the most insightful. Rodney delivers an ultra-smooth beat that complements Jason’s rhymes about uncertain futures and occupational struggles as a man trying to make a living off of his one true love – music. Stream the track, hit the skip for the download, and check back on August 11 for Marvelous World of Color.

Funkmaster Flex was playing this earlier tonight, now here’s the clean CDQ version for the masses coutresy of 57thAve. SHAKE UPDATE: Added the explicit. Why folks blast out clean versions then follow it with the dirty less than a day later (when they had both to begin with) is beyond me. *shake shrug. Also, after the jump N.O.R.E. announces his upcoming solo album.

For those that have a good head on their shoulders and have given Sha Stimuli’s My Soul to Keep a listen, you’ll recognize Astro from track 2. He also spit a longer verse on the remix. Now he takes a shot at Kanye’s single. This post is more so to intro the kid (13) to the blog world though and get y’all early thoughts on him. I can’t say that I would bump this on a continuous basis but I honestly think with a few years of sharpening his craft (w/ the help of one of the nicest emcees doing it, in Sha Stimuli) this kid can be something special. We’ll see.

We previously brought you some fire from this Quantic Presenta Flowering Inferno project by way of the album’s lead single and title-track, “Dog With a Rope“. Armed with equal parts Latin and Reggae grooves, the track — and entire album, really — was both impressive and a nice change of pace for someone (me) who gets hit with a flood of new music everyday. Anyway, to celebrate the release of Dog With a Rope, Tru Thoughts and Quantic enlisted KRCW’s Jeremy Sole to throw together a best of Quantic mix. The result is a nearly 45-minute, non-stop track that might just be what gets you ready for the weekend…even though it’s only Thursday.
