I keep the "Shook Ones Part 2" playing in regular rotation DAILY, as this is one of the few songs that captivate my ears. And Mobb Deep’s influential…

BUSTA RHYMES ft. NAS – “Rough Around The Edges” (Hi-Tek Beat) #Throwback
Nas and Busta are an explosive combination, on 'Rough Around The Edges'. This ill song was suppose to be on Busta's 'The Big Bang' album, but he said he had to choose between it and 'Don’t Get Carried Away' ("a better concert song"). Bad choice…'Rough Around The Edges' is WAY better. The production on this is bananas! Hi-Tek is a vicious producer. And it’s tracks like these that are forever stamped in the fabric of Hip-Hop antiquity.

J. COLE ft. NAS – “LET NAS DOWN (REMIX)” NEW MUSIC!
This is just a quick post sharing that new NAS & J. COLE joint. Nas is the Rapper of Rappers, and he always surprises me with how lyrically nice he's getting with age. Relevance, intelligence, elegance, Nas embodies what Hip Hop should be appreciated for. The original version of this song sent a chill up my spine due to the honesty. This version warmed my heart. Glad Nas received it well and threw a verse on it of reassurance. This is great stuff. Props
