Run The Jewels - Early (Live on David Letterman)

As a long time fan of both Killer Mike and El-P, it was inevitable that I would support them when they announced their collaboration as Run The Jewels a year or so ago. Now on their second album together with "Run The Jewels 2", to say they've come a long way is an understatement.

Last night saw the duo performing on the Late Show with David Letterman. An independent Hip Hop act on mainstream television is a big deal. It's a bit weird to say, as I don't know them personally, but I'm proud of them. 

"Run The Jewels 2" is available now.

PRhyme (DJ Premier & Royce Da 5'9) - U Looz (Video)

I'm sure you've heard about the new collaborative album on its way from DJ Premier and Royce Da 5'9 or collectively known as PRhyme. You've also probably seen the teaser video from a few weeks back. That video was actually a snippet of the track/intro "U Looz". Today a longer visual was released. Check it below.

PRhyme drops in early December.

Skyzoo & Torae - Memorabilia (Video)

Skyzoo and Torae are back with another video for "Memorabilia" off their album "Barrel Brothers". Definitely an LP you'll want to check out. It's available everywhere now. Check the video below.

   

The Catch Up: Slimkid3 & DJ Nu-Mark

A project which I believe may have gone under the radar is the self titled album by The Pharcyde's Slimkid3 and Jurassic 5's DJ Nu-Mark. Straight away those two groups should grab your attention. It's strange to me then, that this album had no build up or sense of anticipation. A shame, especially when you give it a listen. 

Production is solely provided by Nu-Mark with Tre's unmistakable voice in tandem. The guests on the LP are crazy too with the likes of Murs, Del The Funkee Homosapien, Diamond D, J-Live to name a few. Check out the two music videos they've dropped since July below.

Magnum Opus: The Making of Common's The Light (Video)

Complex continue their fantastic web series "Magnum Opus" with the making of Common's classic Jay Dee produced track "The Light". As well as Common himself, they talk to the song's inspiration Erykah Badu, fellow Soulquarian James Poyser, Detroit's Frank Nitt and even Bobby Caldwell, whose own song was sampled for the record. 

They also talk about the creation of the video with its director. Erykah Badu, who appears in the visual, even addresses the joke that any man she's involved with ends up in crocheted pants!
