Mobb Deep - Get It Forever (Feat. NaS)

Following the new Mary J tune, the latest piece from Mobb Deep's upcoming EP has surfaced, which once again features Mr. Nasir Jones. Feels like we're going back in time this year, but for all the right reasons. Real Hip-Hop.

Mary J. Blige - Feel Inside (Feat. NaS)

My favourite and most highly anticipated track from Mary. J Blige's forthcoming tenth studio album, My Life II...The Journey Continues, which is set to be released November 21st. NaS is really on fire this (every) year and this is without doubt a much stronger album than Mary's last effort, Stronger With Each Tear. One of the Queens of R&B is back with a bang.

Ta-Ku - Dilla Lives On (Day 1)

Ta-Ku uploaded this beat to his soundcloud today with the message that he will be making a beat a day for 50 days in tribute to one of his biggest influences; J Dilla. A sick beat, and an amazing idea. The greatest there ever was.

Random Impulse - Put It On My Card (Remix) (Feat. Ed Sheeran, Dot Rotten & Bluey Robinson)

Ed Sheeran, Dot Rotten & Bluey Robinson all feature on my favourite track from Random Impulse's new EP, No Sleep For Winners, which was released on iTunes today. On A Roll has rightfully been getting support from all corners over the past few weeks, and hopefully this EP is going to open lots of doors for one of the most talented unsigned artists in the UK right now. Pick up your copy HERE - debut album on the way...
