German producer Shuko unveils a star-studded new track off his debut album “For The Love Of It”, featuring guest verses from Saigon, Vinnie Paz, and R.A. The Rugged Man, plus vocals from Carolyn D’Elia.

Official descrip: A trio of rugged rhymers: Sean Price, the Brooklyn-bred lyricist that’s quick to knock your block off Jailhouse Rock style; Diabolic, the aggressive Suffolk County rhyme sayer that spits with reckless abandon; and Vinnie Paz, the misanthropic Philly native who stays ready for battle, all make up the foundation for “Game Time,” the latest release from Diabolic’s forthcoming Fightin Words LP, that’s set to drop 9/16. Although Diabolic might not be a household name just yet, his accolades are worth mentioning: earning a spot on Billboard’s Hip Hop and R&B charts, as well as receiving the HHUG Best Album of the Year Award with his debut LP, Liar & a Thief, are quite the accomplishments. Over a slick cut from the Brooklyn beat-smith, 5th Seal, who manages to squeeze everybody from Das EFX to the late Guru in this Premier’esque scratch hook, “Game Time” takes things back to the time where lyrics were valued over everything. Pre-orders for Fightin Words are now available through iTunes via digital download, or Fat Beats on either CD or 2xLP.

Wisconsin based emcee Taiyamo Denku teams up with Australian beatmaker Dcypha for their upcoming album SUPERNATURAL. Denku recruits legendary NY emcee Kool G Rap and AOTP’s head chef Vinnie Paz for the braggadocio inspired first single called “Ice Cold.” The aforementioned trio approach Dcypha’s boom-bap production with an assortment of shock value lines that are definitely rewind worthy. Dcypha and Taiyamo Denku will release their collaborative album SUPERNATURAL on June 25th and it features KRS One, Keith Murray, Blaq Poet, Sadat X, Chino XL, Apathy, Chris Rivers, Craig G, Tragedy Khadafi, Copywrite and a slew of others.

After the Great Response to the song “The Danger” off of Machete Mode, we chose to enlist some help from our friends Sean Price and Chino XL for a remix to the OG. The new version contains the same beat, crazy verses from Price and Chino as well as a new verse from Esoteric. The B Side of the vinyl includes the Instrumental to “The Danger”.

With his critically-acclaimed new album “Legends Never Die” now in stores everywhere, R.A. The Rugged Man releases the video for “Sam Peckinpah”, featuring Vinnie Paz and Sadat X. Directed by Michael M. Bilandic and Johnny Zito.

Spit Gemz’ debut album “FVCK THE RADIO” is officially here February 25th 2013. To celebrate the release, Gemz offers up one of the standout records on the project with the God Of The Serengeti himself.

Gemz’ fan-base has been asking for this track for sometime now, and the two finally link up for one hell of a 1-2 monstrous combo.
