Megadon - World Premiere (Ft. Mr. Cheeks & Nitty Scott MC)

This is a world premiere. Megadon combines the classic with the new, uniting Mr.Cheeks from the Lost Boyz with Nitty Scott MC on a smooth jazzy beat. The song focuses on everyone's personal relationship with hip hop and why despite their success, they remain fans of the culture.

OGM (Ken Jiffy, Cyrus & ToteMics) - Lounge

No idea who this group of young rappers are but this is a nice way to start of your career.

Dynasty - Stay Shinin (Feat. Talib Kweli)

Dynasty is a female rapper that I have heard before in a music video produced by DJ Premier. This time she hooks up with Talib Kweli. I like this song.

Tony Bones - The Story Of Moral (Feat. Slug (Atmosphere) & A.G. (D.I.T.C.)

The smooth beat and good lyrics makes this a great song.

Double A. B. & Dub Sonata - Sunset (Feat. Cannibal OX & David Kiss)

Man Bites Dog Records is proud to present Double A.B. & Dub Sonata's "Sunset" music video featuring Cannibal OX & David Kiss. Bass played by Gil Dekel Percussion played by Brenden Tacon Originally this video was shot by Steeve Blass before October 28th 2012, before Hurricane Sandy would reshape the coast of NY, NJ & CT. Coney Island did not escape the impact of the storm. This video acts in remembrance to what Coney Island looked like before Hurricane Sandy.

Freeway - Seems Like

Not really a song that I like from Philly rapper Freeway.

Sean Born - Grandeur (Prod. Kev Brown)

About the album: A gritty 90's style album for those who grew up on Illmatic, Midnight Marauders, Only Built for Cuban Links, Moment of Truth, and Ready to Die. Behind The Scale shows the other side of what some are glamorizing about street life and drug trade. This is unfiltered, real sh*t on tape. Some of the stories are inensly personal and Sean second-guessed including them, but if it ain't raw it ain't real. Behind The Scale is about change, transition and growing up..

D-Sisive - West Coast

D-Sisive - West Coast, from the "Vaudeville" album. Released in 2010.

Marz Lovejoy - Dolo

As she prepares her debut album, one of the West Coast’s most promising new artists, Marz Lovejoy, has linked up with director GRVTY to film a set of visuals, accompanying her latest track,"DOLO." The video illustrates Marz's uniquely exuberant personality and coincides with the track's independent nature. Lately, Marz has been busy working with Grammy Award winning producer Om’Mas Keith (Frank Ocean, Odd Future, Sa-Ra), who has signed-on to executive produce Elephant Soundz. Marz is also coming off quite a busy year in Hollywood. She recently finished filming for director John Stockwell and producer Gordon Bijelonic’s forthcoming film, Kid Cannabis. Earlier this year, Marz made her cinematic debut in Common’s LUV which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival. In 2010, she released her debut EP This Little Light Of Mine, at just 19 years of age, to critical acclaim.OkayPlayer.com described the EP “an excellent debut…[Marz] has the ability to craft catchy hooks to make some noise in the mainstream crowd, and she has the lyrical prowess to hang with the best of the underground.” She has since toured the country and/or shared the stage with the likes of Eykah Badu, Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, Wu-Tang Clan, Yelawolf, and more. Marz Lovejoy’s debut album, Elephant Soundz will be released later this year via Elephant Soundz /iHipHop Distribution.

CZARFACE (Inspectah Deck & 7L & Esoteric) - Air ‘Em Out

With his illustrious career spanning nearly two-decades now, it would be easy for Inspectah Deck to sit back and rest on his laurels; after all, he has helped create some of the best hip-hop music ever recorded. Despite his low-key persona, Deck carved out his own unique space in the Wu-Tang Clan, thanks to his stand-out verses from “C.R.E.A.M.,” “Protect Ya Neck” and his otherworldly verse on “Triumph” among many. Likewise, who could forget Deck’s contributions on Ghostface’s Ironman (“Assassination Day”), his many appearances on Raekwon’s OBFCL, GZA’s Liquid Swords (“Cold World”) or his collaborations with Gang Starr (“Above The Clouds”) and Big Pun (“Tres Leches” which also featured Mobb Deep’s Prodigy). Throughout Deck’s career, whether it was beside his fellow Wu-Tang brethren or in a solo-capacity, he is as adamant today about his culture and pushing the creative envelope as he was before Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers became an epic masterpiece; hence the formation of CZARFACE, a new collaborative project with underground icons 7L & Esoteric. With guest appearances from Ghostface, Action Bronson, Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire, Roc Marciano, Vinnie Paz, Cappadonna & additional beats from DJ Premier & Oh No, you can expect nothing less then top notch production and rewind worthy lyricism from CZARFACE. "We are CZARFACE because they know our faces and they know us for being dope rhyme suppliers, like Tony Montana we are known for our balls and our word; lyrically we will conquer the world and everything in it” states Deck. Esoteric explains further, “CZARFACE is a vigilante, anti-hero character who serves as the face of the project, and his focus is on annihilating the media darlings that the mainstream caters to.”

Jon Connor - Blackout

New video off of "While You Were Sleeping". One of the hardest working artist back in 2012. He earned a spot as one of my favourites and I hope he continues to keep this up in 2013.

Kyle Rapps - Get It In (Feat. Action Bronson)

Jersey suburbanite turned Harlem emcee Kyle Rapps teams up with Vice heavy hitter Action Bronson to deliver visuals for "Get It In." In this clip, director Robbie Barclay photoshops faces of Rapps and Bronson over well known classic and contemporary paintings and media moments ranging from the Mona Lisa to Muhammed Ali to Seinfeld; while keeping the rapper's mouths in live motion. Both of these artists can clearly rap they asses off, and Kyle Rapps is defintely a new name to look out for.

Trek Life - Wouldn't Change Nothing (Prod. Oddisee)

This song is the sum of all my most genuine fears on the path to success. I didn't try to speak for everyone when I wrote it, I just felt like I needed to express all the fear, loss and fuck it that goes on in those quiet moments away from the mic. There's triumph in the end though. When through it all you realize that there's nothing you would change. You accept the challenge and know that it only makes the success sweeter. - Trek Life

Cappadonna’s “Eryth, Wynd & Fyre” will feature production from Stu Bangas, J. Glaze & G-Force (among others) and feature guest appearances from Solomon Childs & Sav Kills.

When the “Demigodz Is Back” track was initially released, there was a “fan-made” video created for it that was in circulation—which was not the official video; here is the official video for Demigodz “Demigodz Is Back.”

Uptown XO - Flowers

Uptown XO continues to offer raw emotive rhymes that open windows to his world. The cold, gun toting exterior often belies the humanity behind it all. XO offers a story not unlike many with scarface dreams born of section 8, but fresh in its minutia the way only truth can be. The disection of this textured story's cycle from evictions as a youth to the echos from the fridge; from the sales of kush in orange bubbles, to the understanding of how it employs the lawyers, the judges, the DA, and the jail workers; - all poignantly wrapped in the phrase "damn, ni&&as just didn't want to flip burgers." Earnest reflection over ill production. The sometimes morbid take on life culminates with the mantra "I got mouths to feed till they put flowers on me." AB The Pro produces the haunting track for Uptown XO to reflect and lay relish over, while director Backie Thomas creates stark visuals, brilliant in color, framing, and movement. It's all prelude to the new album "Colour de Grey" coming from Mello Music Group Janaury 29th.
