Return of the Boom Bap – De La Soul – Royalty Capes

Let’s start this by saying you’re welcome. Because maybe, just maybe if you hadn’t stumbled across this on social media you may not have heard this new gem from De La Soul. This is what it sounds like when the pros pick up the mic (read that in your best Pos tone and cadence). Let’s …


Return of the Boom Bap – Phife Dawg – Nutshell

So I ran across a story about a new cut from Phife Dawg and planned to put it out there on FB, IG and Twitter. Then I listened to it. I mean I really listened to it…a few times and damn…it’s dope. Before his passing, The 5 Foot Assassin was working on new material and …


Return of the Boom Bap – KRS One – Drugs Won

So while you were eating turkey and saying what you were thankful for over carb heavy meals with lots of cheese…ummmm cheese…we were being thankful for a new offering from the Blast Master himself. KRS One blessed us with “Drugs Won,” the debut single from his first album since 2012’s “The BDP Album.” Produced by …

Probably one of the most under rated emcees of all …


Return of the Boom Bap – Sheek Louch ft. Pusha T – Bang Bang

Hard. Just hard. Like 1998 Fat Joe and Busta Rhymes hard. That describes the latest offering from The Lox emcee Sheek Louch. A formidable rhymer, Sheek hasn’t been in the spot light as much as his The Lox cohorts Jadakiss and Styles P, but he makes up for his absence with “Bang Bang” – the …


Return of the Boom Bap – Raekwon ft. Snoop Dogg – 1,2 1,2

East meets West on the latest offering from Wu-Tang Clan superstar Raekwon. The Chef trades bars with Snoop Dogg on “1,2 1,2” and yes it’s heat. A wicked, bass horn loop drives the Scoop DeVille produced track and the two legends show us why these two are considered to be the best. “1,2 1,2” appears …


Return of the Boom Bap – Camp Lo – Bright Lights

After a successful run with a Pete Rock team up mixtape (80 Blocks from Tiffany’s II), Sonny Cheeba and Geechi Suede are back at it with a new offering. The cut is called “Bright Lights” and is right in line with the sound that catapulted Camp Lo to the head of the pack back in …
