"It's album time"!!! Those three words are what Nas and DJ Premier fans have been waiting to hear for nearly 20 years!!! If like us you had a copy of 'Scratch' magazine, from January/February 2006, which had Nas and Premo on the cover then you know how long this album has been in the making for!!! On their new single, 'Define My Name', Nas and Premo team up to get busy for a track that might cause the name of their album to be called 'Hip-Hop is Alive' as this is the sound, of Hip-Hop, at it's purest!!! Just to note they also dropped a press release confirming the album would be dropping later this year so just in case anyone wanted to debate it...it's official!!! Check the track out here -  Nas & DJ Premier - Define My Name (Audio)

Gustavo Louis is what R.A.W Culture is all about!!! Gustavo is a Hip-Hop artist, from Hempstead, New York, who spits raw bars over dusty soul loops and rocks Lucha Libre masks whilst doing it!!! Listening to Gustavo's track 'Uncle Jheri Curl' gave us the same feeling we got when we heard Westside Gunn, for the first time, on 'Mr. T'. Whilst rappers rhyming over soulful loops isn't something new there is something about the way Gustavo flows over them that makes him stand out from other artists that do it. If your a fan of the new wave of underground Hip-Hop and artists such as Westside Gunn, Roc Marciano, Knowledge The Pirate, Hus Kingpin and Mach-Hommy then Gustavo Louis is right up your street!!!
