Masta Ace x Marco Polo ~ A Breukelen Story ((Album Stream)) (@mastaace x @marcopolobeats + @SmifnWessun)
On 2007’s “Nostalgia,” a memorable track off Marco Polo’s album, Port Authority, chemistry between Polo and guest MC Masta Ace is easily heard and felt. What was a quick one-off collab was not only a reminder of Masta Ace’s timelessness, but it was also the impetus for a larger, more fleshed out concept between the Toronto beatsmith Polo and the legendary MC. The pair since formed a duo and the result is a powerfully evenhanded project, A Breukelen Story.

Wu-Tang & ATCQ – A Clan Called Wu: Enter The Marauders (25 Year Anniversary Special) ((Mix))
Super dope blend tape from DJ Filthy Rich celebrating 25 years of 2 absolute classic albums.
November 9, 1993 will forever go down as one of the greatest days in Hip Hop history. Two of the genre’s most revered albums dropped on the same day: Wu-Tang Clan’s debut ‘Enter The 36 Chambers’, & A Tribe Called Quest’s third LP ‘Midnight Marauders’. I (DJ Filthy Rich) remember riding my bike to the mall, with money I had earned from my after-school job. I had anticipated this day for awhile, and saved up in advance to pick up both CD’s (at that age $40 felt like $500). For the months that followed, both albums fought for playing time on my single-disc CD player. One moment, I was transported to the boulevard of Linden, and the next to the rugged streets of Shaolin. Those albums stayed in my rotation forever (literally).
To mark the 25th anniversary of both LP’s, I thought it might be a good idea to try and take the vocals from Wu-Tang’s album, and blend them over the instrumentals from Midnight Marauders. I wasn’t sure it would work at first, but as is usually the case, inspiration hit at midnight when I was trying to sleep (the coincidence of the timing is not lost on me). A couple of hours later, I managed to pair up every single Wu-Tang vocal with a suitable beat from MM. The intent was not to improve on the originals in any way….that would be impossible, as I consider them both to be perfect bodies of work. Rather, it was about orchestrating a fun concept, and putting a totally new spin on these well-worn classics. The contrast of Wu’s gritty street raps over Ali Shaheed’s jazzy production works in a pleasantly unexpected way. Now, I present to you my personal tribute to these legendary groups: A Clan Called Wu “Enter The Marauders”.

The first single, “Pandora” (b/w “Come with That Weak Shit”) is a soulful lament about a relationship challenged by music as the consummate “other woman”.

O.C. x PF Cuttin ~ Opium ((Album Stream)) (@therealocizzle)
Throughout the course of history, hip-hop has evolved and grown into countless forms of expression, but there’s just a few that still manage to bring that old school flavor to the table. After decades in the game, it’s safe to say that legendary DITC member O.C. and East New York DJ/producer PF Cuttin (of Blahzay Blahzay fame) have always been constant at delivering classic material to the masses.
The two have finally decided to get together to drop a collaboration project. O.C. and PF Cuttin Music are bringing you “OPIUM”, a 9 track banger that will bring you back in time to the era of block parties and 40’s, of stunts, blunts and hip-hop, to remind you what the good old days sounded like. O.C.’s inimitable flow over PF’s tough beats are a combo no hip-hop head can ignore.

Brother Ali ~ Sensitive ((Video)) (@BrotherAli)
"'Sensitive' deals with the reality that artists are often times faced with self doubt and a deep sense that the world isn't hearing us as we'd like to be heard. This one was made at a time when I'd taken too long to release new music, had medical trouble with my voice and felt like I'd alienated fans with my political statements. Typical 'tortured artist' vibe that not many people talk about in Hip-Hop, but we all experience it on one level or another."

Apollo Brown x Joell Ortiz ~ Mona Lisa ((Album Stream)) (@JoellOrtiz x @ApolloBrown)
Detroit producer Apollo Brown has made a name for himself as one of Hip-Hop’s most legendary new producers while maintaining a golden era sound. His production credits are a who’s who of Hip-hop greats from Danny Brown to Ghostface Killah, Ras Kass to Westside Gunn. Even Chance the Rapper used a pair of Apollo beats on his debut mixtapes. Known for bringing the best out of musicians, Apollo has a knack for making timeless classics.
Brooklyn’s Joell Ortiz started on none other than Dr. Dre’s Aftermath label and built a huge buzz in the industry. He’s worked with legends like Just Blaze among others. He then signed to Shady Records as ¼ of the supergroup Slaughterhouse. He’s worked with Hip-Hop titans Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Jadakiss, Akon, and Big Daddy Kane.
Now the pair of Hip-hop luminaries have their first collaborative album on Mello Music Group. It’s nothing short of a masterpiece: Mona Lisa.
