Blame One-Glass House (Produced by Exile)

If you haven't yet discovered the dopeness that is San Diego born Polish MC, Blame One, then do yourself a favour and make sure you do.

Blame was responsible for one of my fave albums of 2009, the really dope Days Chasing Days (Soul Spazm Records) that had production from Exile, Kankick, Oh No, Black Milk and Black Spax and featured Sean Price, Blu, Aloe Blacc, Coss, Rath Ky and Johaz as guests, check the Discogs link for more his music and you might be surprised by how many times Kankick and Exile have laced him beats.

R.I.P. Rammellzee aka RAMMΣLLZΣΣ

"Oh freak, freak y'all"

It was with a lot of sadness that I saw Sam Sever post up the incredible "Beat Bop" clip on Facebook yesterday because he said R.I.P. RAMMΣLLZΣΣ

It turned out that one of Hip Hop's most unique and a pure artist in every sense of the word, passed away from liver cancer, my sincere condolences to his Family and many Friends around the World.

There have been some great tribute posts around the net already, so please take some time to check them out and remember a legend, You can hear Ram's influence in artists like The RZA, MF Doom, The Beastie Boys and MF Doom and quite a few other artists.

Apollo The Great - "Call It Quits" (Directed by Jimmy Giambrone)

I got this sent to my inbox and I had to share it, this is dope, great lyrics, production and something different from the norm.



The newest excitement to take hold of things for his dormant rap scene is the 20 year old, Camden, NJ emcee, Apollo The Great. After minimal time on the surface, he has already opened for Jadakiss (footage coming soon) where fans were chanting his name before he took the stage. See his video below for the lead single from H.I.M. 2, "Call It Quits" prod. by YFame and directed by Jimmy Giambrone (Sean Price, Young Chris, Cymarshall Law, Reef the Lost Cauze).

Thanks to Jon Feldman



No skinny jeans...haha word up.

CRDS Presents Some Faves From 2010 Volume 1

Yo what's good faithful CRDS readers?...you know that even though I listen to mostly older school Hip Hop (and reggae and some other great music), I personally I think that 2010 has been a pretty good year so far and I made this compilation to celebrate that fact, I went through over 100 tracks and culled them down to 15, we have all types on here including tracks from 5 of my fave producers of all time Madlib, Oh No, Oddisee DJ Premier and Diamond D and also including a dope crew, Evil Mule (Raw Deal & ATS) from Wellington, New Zealand that need more exposure in my view...

I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed compiling it and yes there will be another one later on in the year.

Peace
