J-Live - Not Listening (Video)

J-Live drops the video for his track "Not Listening". It's very self explanatory if you press play. This is taken from his current album "Around The Sun" on Mortier Music.

Pro Era continue to release visuals from their various projects, this time with "Hail Razor" from The Shift EP. This track features verses from A La Sole, Dessy Hinds and CJ Fly.

Camp Lo return with the new video for "X Seminar" which is produced by Ski Beatz from the upcoming collaborative album between the producer and group. Look for that on Nature Sounds soon. In the meantime, check the video below.

(I had to add a picture of myself and friend Phil when we met them a year or so ago too.)

CJ Fly - Sup Preme feat. Joey Bada$$ (Video)

CJ Fly drops another visual from last year's "Thee Way Eye See It" with "Sup Preme" accompanied by Joey Bada$$. Watch the video below.

The Catch Up: Ugly Heroes / Pyramid Vritra / Your Old Droog (Video)

Just in case you missed them, here are a few videos that caught my attention over the last couple of weeks and failed to get put up on here.

First up is Stones Throw emcee/producer Pyramid Vritra with the track "224" featuring Huey Bliss. This is taken from his "Palace" EP which is only £2.49 on iTunes. Worth a little of your money.

Next, Ugly Heroes dropped another video from their self titled EP which was released a week back. "Michael, Scottie & Horace" sees Verbal Kent and Red Pill doing what they do best over Apollo Brown's banging production with an M.O.P. sample on the chorus for good measure.

And finally, putting all doubts to rest, we actually SEE Your Old Droog as he features on the first episode of "Just Rhymin With Skizz". A few people may be disappointed that it isn't Nas, especially if they bought a ticket for his debut performance at Webster Hall in NY next week. I think he's a promising artist and being compared to Nasir Jones can only be a good thing.

Statik Selektah - Carry On feat. Joey Bada$$ and Freddie Gibbs (Video)

Statik Selektah lets go of the video for his single "Carry On" featuring Joey Bada$$ and Freddie Gibbs. The track features on the new album "What Goes Around" which I expect will be another excellent addition to Statik's catalogue.

Incidentally, both Joey and Freddie will be appearing separately in Manchester over the coming months. Check SeeTickets for more info.

Action Bronson - Easy Rider (Video)

As with anything put out by Action Bronson, I thought it mandatory to add his new video for "Easy Rider". Premiered earlier today via Noisey, this serves as the first single from Bam Bam's upcoming album "Mr. Wonderful" due in the last quarter.

"Easy Rider" is already available on iTunes.

Joey Bada$$ - Big Dusty (Video)

Joey Bada$$ drops off the first video from his upcoming debut album "B4DA$$" with the single "Big Dusty". Fellow Pro Era crew Kirk Knight supplies production. The fact this kid continues to deliver heat is undeniable. That goes for the rest of Pro Era too.

Check the video below and cop the single on iTunes. We can expect the album around Autumn.

Cormega - Industry (Video), This Is 50 Interview, Sway Interview & Industry (Juice Crew Remix)(Audio)

After hearing about the upcoming album from Cormega at his show in Manchester in late 2012, it was definitely the news everyone that was there wanted to hear. The fact it was to be produced entirely by his co-headliner that night, Large Professor, was just the icing on the cake.

Last week "Mega Philosophy" finally arrived and it doesn't disappoint.

Mega has been busy promoting the album with appearances on various radio shows and dropped a video for the first single "Industry". Today, Respect premiered a Juice Crew remix featuring verses from Masta Ace, Craig G and Kool G Rap!

Below I've included the video for "Industry", video interviews with Sway Calloway and Young Jack Thriller for ThisIs50 and the audio for the "Industry (Juice Crew Remix)". Enjoy and if you haven't already got the album, you know what to do. It's on iTunes for a start.
