It’s been seven years since I dropped a 7th Boro Files post but I really wanted to share this one with you all. This Papoose and Canibus joint was off the Kay Slay and Alchemist mixtape circa 2004 if I’m not mistaken. These two go back to back like the BBoy stance! Personally I think Canibus goes in more but Pap most definitely rips it. Check it out.
Diggin this cut off the newly released Georgia Tape which you can cop here. Check it out.
Prhyme was one of my favorite Albums last year (next to MadGibbs’ Pinata LP) and a lot of the tracks were in heavy rotation.
“Courtesy” was one of the few tracks I rewinded a lot of times just for the instrumental alone (you can’t deny that it has a special sound with Adrian Younge’s Organ Music to it) and thought like “the original is dope but how can I switch it up a bit?”
So I went through my mind who would fit on dope Premo Beats and Nas was one of the first people I could think of so I decided to take his Premo collabo “NY State of Mind Pt.2” and add his verse to the already great Joint.
The outcome can be heard below.
Sidenote: The Artwork that you see on this post was made by me,hope y’all enjoy it just as much as the Blend.
When he was still known as Jay Dee and a member of The Ummah, James Yancey blessed Da Bush Babees with this beyond-lovely composition for the title track to their second LP, “Gravity” (1996). As we all know, J Dilla left us too early ten years later. Rest in peace.
This instant classic, from the “Distant Relatives” (2010) LP, is straight banging and this street marching video in black n white just adds to the hysteria. Imagine a remix with KRS and Mad Lion? 
While we wait for the new Dilated LP, here’s some recent Ev and his stepbrother, ALC feat. The Ghost, Styles P. One of the stand-out tracks from “Lord Steppington” that’s worth not forgetting!
This Common banger produced by DJ Hi Tek hit the streets in 2000 but never officially released… The legend of “Tekzilla” lives on!
For those of y’all who snoozed two years ago, this is one DJ Premier’s illest beats of this decade and features three of Michigan’s finest emcees…
