Slum Village - Tell Me (Unreleased)

As Dilla month continues, the goodies keep on rolling in. This one is an unreleased SV jam from WAY BACK, before Dilla even had a drum machine, which means the beat was actually made using the 'pause and stop record' method. 'Tell Me' also showcases Jay Dee's massively under-rated skills on the mic. See the full story after the jump.

KanYe West, Frank Ocean & Tyler The Creator in the studio together

Whilst down under in Australia, KanYe West was spotted in the studio with Odd Future starlets Frank Ocean & Tyler, The Creator. Of course KanYe has worked with Frank previously on 'Watch The Throne', and apparently there is another track in the works, so it's the Tyler collab that made my ears prick up. 'Goblin' was a travesty, in my opinion, but with someone like KanYe on the boards/by his side, there is every chance he could cook up a pretty special sophmore effort. We will see...

Bashy - Heart of Stone (Feat. Dot Rotten, Lady Leshurr & Black The Ripper)

Featuring Lady Leshurr, Dot Rotten & Black The Ripper, here is the first track to be taken from UK Hip-Hop legend Bashy's forthcoming EP, 'The Great Escape'.

Brother Ali - Years

My favourite track from Rhymesayers' very own Brother Ali's new 7-track freEP, 'The Bite Marked Heart'. The EP features Phonte, Stokley Williams, Nikki Jean and Aby Wolf, with the production being handled by Jake One and Ant. Ali is currently putting the finishing touches on his 6th studio album Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color. One of the most under-rated MC's of all-time, consistently releasing flawless music.

Twista - Whitney Houston Tribute

Chicago-born rapper Twista comes through with a heartfelt tribute to Whitney Houston, which is produced by The Legendary Traxster. Traxster samples the iconic hook/chorus from the classic 'I Will Always Love You', and Twista leaves open 16 bars for any other fellow rappers who want to lay a verse and pay their respects. R.I.P. Whitney, you'll be sorely missed.
