Shots Fired Podcast

Featuring one of my favorite underground MC's, Nocando, Shots Fired is a hip-hop podcast actually worth listening to. Co-hosted by Jeff Weiss, it provides interesting insights into all things hip-hop. It is like talking to my friends, if my friends were as obsessive as I am.

Check out the podcast here.

Just for good measure, a Nocando video.

MC Phaze "May the 4th"

MC Phaze spits some Star Wars bars for May 4 (Star Wars Day).
Dude kills it.

The Idler "Blessed Iscariot"

Not by fate that these stars align
Oh, Man see it crumble
One big empire turns to dust

Chance the Rapper "NaNa"

This is one of my favorite tracks from Chance's latest. Mostly 'cuz Action Bronson kills it with that Rick Pitino line and the Arnold ad-lib (GET TO THE CHOPPPAAA!!)

Kool & Kass

While I was salivating over the Chance the Rapper mixtape yesterday (which is dope), I missed the drop of the Kool & Kass tape.

It's Kool A.D. being Kool A.D. and Kass being Kass (presumably...I've never heard of dude before).

Here is the video for the single "Pleasance". Kool A.D. wrecks the last verse.

Give a fuck if you out here, me too
Everybody out here, what that even mean dude?




Here is the bandcamp to download the full thing.

Track 3 "Language Arts" has a line something like...

Best believe me
Ever since I heard chess was ouija
 the rest was easy.

Shit is cold.
