Nobody seems to know where it's come from, but today saw an unreleased Biggie verse leak on the net, which could well be from a DJ Capone mixtape, judging by the tags.

Raekwon - Who Shot Ya (Biggie Freestyle)

Raekwon goes in over Biggie's classic 'Who Shot Ya'. Not many people should touch the beats that Mr. Wallace rapped over, but The Chef is one who can.

Freaky Behaviour - Thick

Utilising a number of famous samples, including the classic 'Hypnotize' by The Notorious B.I.G., here is my favourite track from Freaky Behaviour's new EP 'Hearing Things'. Funky Hip-Hop infused Jackin' House seems to be the in thing at the minute, and I'm enjoying it. Buy HERE.

Lee Webster - Freaky Bitches x Detroit Cheeky Things

Here are two of my favourite tracks from Barcelona-based producer Lee Webster's forthcoming EP, which is set for release June 4th on Glasgow Underground. 'Freaky Bitches' is a groovy piece of Deep House that samples The Notorious B.I.G.'s classic 'Nasty Boy', which has been getting lots of support from the brilliant Waifs & Strays. 'Detroit Cheeky Things' on the otherhand is a sexy Nu-Disco track, which is dripping with funk from start to finish and is accompanied by the most wonderful vocal. Great release.

Behind The Music: The Notorious B.I.G. (Full Episode)

Premiered last night on VH1, here is a look back at the life of iconic rapper The Notorious B.I.G. The one-hour episode is updated from the original 2001 airing, and documents Big's rise from the streets of Brooklyn to the top of Hip-Hop, before his life was taken from him at the tender age of just 24 in 1997. Commentary comes from Diddy, his mother, Faith Evans and many more - a must watch for any Hip-Hop fan, with some eye-opening evidence/revelations related to Big's death and the case that followed.
