If you remember, back in the mid 90's, when Dancehall artists would do Hip-Hop remixes of their tracks or when DJ's would blend the two genres and throw them out on white labels...then this project is for you!!!  DJ/Producer Dirty Needlz takes Capleton's 'Alms House' and blends some classic Hip-Hop beats over the tracks!!!  As usual Needlz provides us with another top notch remix project!!!  As an added bonus he's also blessed us with another remix drop that takes the Wu-Tang Clan's 'The W' and gives it a Country Western makeover!!!  Stream + Purchase 'Alms House - The Hip-Hop Edits' here -  Capleton 'Alms House - The Hip-Hop Edits' (Stream + Purchase) Then straight after do the same with 'The W Stands For Western' -  Wu-Tang Clan 'The W Stands For Western' (Stream + Purchase)

The legendary LL Cool J returns with his brand new single, and video, 'Saturday Night Special'!!!  The Q-Tip produced track features appearances from Rick Ross and Fat Joe!!! All three artists bring their A-Game to the table over yet another classic Q-Tip production!!!  Real story telling Hip-Hop at it's finest!!!  Anticipation for the new, Tip produced, LL album is definitely on par with Common and Pete Rock's joint project with releases bringing Hip-Hop with dope bars and beats, back to the forefront again!!!  Check out the video here -  LL Cool J - Saturday Night Special (featuring Rick Ross and Fat Joe) (Official Video)

Memphis Bleek returns with his dope new single, and video, for 'Durag Bleek'!!!  The Just Blaze produced single has Bleek back on his B.S and proving he is nice on the mic!!!  We feel that Bleek's skills have always been under appreciated and that he has always been much bigger than the guy in Jay-Z's will somewhere.  He's made a pretty decent transition into music executive, with his Warehouse Music Group, and has maintained a strong presence in Hip-Hop for nearly 30 years!!!  Let's give Bleek his flowers for his contributions to the culture!!!  Check out the video here -  Memphis Bleek - Durag Bleek (Official Video)
