NaS & Rick Ross - It's A Tower Heist

Produced by Salaam Remi, the same guy who produced the lead single from NaS' upcoming album, here is a new piece taken from the soundtrack for Tower Heist, which is a new film directed by Brett Ratner and stars Eddie Murphy & Ben Stiller. A big tune from two Hip-Hop heavyweights. Check out the video for Nasty HERE.

Professor Green - Astronaut

Live from the legendary Metropolis studios, here is a sick performance of the fourth track to come from Professor Green's forthcoming sophmore album, At Your Inconvience. I can tell you already that I'm going to enjoy this album so much more than his debut release. Pre-order HERE and get a nice present on Halloween.

NaS - Nasty (Video)

BOOM! Official visuals for the lead single from NaS' forthcoming album. No need to say anything else about this, just watch and enjoy one of the all-time legends at work. Nasty, son...

Jay Electronica - Call Of Duty (MW3) (Feat. Mobb Deep)

Jay Electronica delayed the release of this track in order to get the infamous Mobb Deep to enlist some Modern Warfare on it for him. Worth the wait? I think so. Super excited to see him perform in 2 weeks alongside Jamie XX. His album is going to a problem when it drops, whenever that may be...

J. Cole - Lost Ones (Live on Hip-Hop Nation)

After a quick chat with DJ Envy, Cole performs my favourite track off his hugely successful debut album, Cole World: The Sideline Story. Pick up your copy HERE.

Classic Hip-Hop Samples (Vol. 1)

Here is the first post in a brand new series, entitled Classic Hip-Hop Samples, which as the title suggests, will aim to introduce you to the incredible samples used in some of the greatest Hip-Hop tracks of all-time. Many people believe that sampling is just a form of copying and shows a lack of imagination, but when you listen to where these samples have come from, you will then realise it's completely the opposite - all of the producers listed have taken songs from a wide variety of genres, some well-known/some totally obscure, used a small part and reinvented them to make a totally new, relevant and fresh sound. 5 Hip-Hop classics every Monday - this week includes Mobb Deep, Common, A Tribe Called Quest, Wu-Tang Clan & Jay-Z. Hope you enjoy it, and hope you learn something.

Method Man - World Gone Sour (The Lost Kids)

Spotted over @2DopeBoyz, here is the video for Method Man's new single, which sees the Wu-Tang legend hook up with Sour Patch Kids, a popular confectionary brand in America. Some people may think it's a bit weird, but this is Meth, forever pushing the boundaries. Here is what he has to say on the project: "I'm excited to be collaborating with Sour Patch Kids and telling the story of how they’ve gone all wrong. I love the steps that the brand is taking to keep it real and interesting, the whole campaign, and letting Meth be Meth—brilliant." Out on iTunes NOW.

The Roots - Undun (Release Date)

It's common knowledge that The Roots have been hard at work on their thirteenth (first concept) studio album, but nobody had any idea of a release date, until today. You can expect Undun to drop December 6th on Def Jam Records. Excited.

Saigon - Oh Yeah (Our Baby)

Here are some really cool visuals for the new single and one of my favourite tracks from Saigon's new album, The Greatest Story Never Told. This guy is amazing, and the album is one of the best of 2011. Get your copy HERE.
