New music from the RAWTH team.

Often under appreciated but never forgotten, Diamond D is easily one of the best producers on the mic. Whether you mess with his work from D.I.T.C or still bump Stunts, Blunts, & Hip Hop on the regular, D is just as ambitious today, even with his OG status. Going for a remix that’s reminiscent of The East Flatbush Project’s “Tried By 12,” his take on the Nitty Scott, MC featured “Boyz II Men” taken from Blu & Nottz’ 2013 released Gods In The Spirit EP, truly bears the Diggin’ in the Crates Crew stamp of approval. Where the original version relied on triumphant horns, courtesy of Nottz, D ventures into a completely different direction, going for a minimalistic instrumental that still packs enough punch to cause a dizzy spell for any true head. Diamond D’s remix of “Boyz II Men” is featured on the ‘iTunes Deluxe Edition’ of Coalmine Records’ ten year anniversary compilation, Unearthed, as well as the CD and vinyl edition of Gods In The Spirit, both of which are now available. Stay tuned for the complete full length of Blu & Nottz’ collaborative efforts, with their forthcoming anthology, Gods In The Spirit, Titans In The Flesh.

New music from Slaughterhouse’s House Rules LP, coming this year on Shady Records.

After hitting the internet with the Nitty Scott, MC featured “Boyz II Men,” the soulful “End of the World,” featuring Rashid, and the feature heavy banger “Crooks in Castles,” L.A. spit kicker Blu and VA’s super producer Nottz Raw are pleased to release their collaborative extended play release, Gods In The Spirit. Consisting of six tracks, featuring guest appearances from ANTHM, Homeboy Sandman, Sene, Johaz, Aloe Blacc, Co$$, Versis & Scienze, Definite Mass and Rashad, GITS is now available through all major digital retailers, for just $4.99.

Another piece of the A.M.T.R.I.M. puzzle.

Chances are you have heard the work of rapper-producer Nottz through his solo output or collaborations with the likes of Asher Roth and Rah Digga. Tomorrow, the Norfolk, Va. native will release his latest solo effort, the In My Mind EP. It’s an eight-track affair featuring Pete Rock, Black Milk, The Alchemist, and, in the case of standout cut “You Need This Music,” Pusha T and Dwele.

Pusha complements the head-nodding, soulful production with a subdued, albeit on-point, verse while Nottz opens the track with middle-finger rhymes aimed directly at the music industry. Dwele brings an extra dose of soul on the hook, which perfectly rounds out the track. Pre-order the EP on iTunes.
