Tony Touch ft. Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, JD Era & RZA - Unorthodox
In order to create some buzz for his forthcoming project, The Piece Maker 3… Return of the 50 MCs, veteran DJ Tony Touch has taken an Unorthodox approach, recruiting some of the most hardened hip-hop vets to take part...Read More
Frank Friction ft. Casual (of Hiero) & Larry Anglin - Faith
A founding member of influential West Coast crew Pharcyde, Romye “Bootie Brown” Robinson is preparing to unleash a fresh solo LP under the (slightly suggestive) moniker Frank Friction. On the project’s first...Read More
HD - Still Me
Outside of David Lynch movies and Quantum Leap, it’s generally accepted that people don’t inadvertently switch identities at the drop of a hat. Even so, it’s good to know that HD remains the same talented...Read More
J. Cole - N*ggaz Know
When J. Cole stepped into the Booth for an interview with our very own DJ Z way back in 2009, he admitted to racking up such a huge bill at Verizon that he had to switch over to Sprint. Not because he couldn’t pay per...Read More
Nefew ft. AWAR - Vintage
If someone tells you they don’t make hip-hop like they used to, introduce them to Nefew. The Swiss-American duo’s Vintage beats and rhymes will have even the most jaded heads checking their calenders to make sure...Read More
Joey Bada$$ - Word Is Bond
Joey BadA$$’ dense, allusive lyricism may require the occasional RapGenius visit to untangle, but he’s never simply playing with words. On the first single off his next street release, the Brooklyn buzzmaker...Read More
KRBL Rebel Radio - Dust
If you have bad allergies like me, then you might be a little hesitant to press play on Dust, the first Booth feature from KRBL Rebel Radio. But I can assure you that, if you took your allergy medicine, you will be fine,...Read More
The Underachievers - May’s Patience
Though The Underachievers certainly haven’t lived up to their stage name where the quality of their work is concerned, I think we would all appreciate a little more quantity from the Northeastern crew; Land of Lords,...Read More
Koncept ft. Tanya Morgan - Space Mountain
You may not be able to find Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck at Koncept‘s version of the Magic Kingdom (hey, lawsuits are expensive), but the Brown Bag AllStars rhymesayer did manage to get his hands on the theme...Read More
Psalm One x Panik - Queen Until
Today is a very regal day in The DJBooth: first Mike Stud brought us Young King, and now beatsmith Panik has teamed up with Windy City emcee Psalm One to bring us Queen Until. Panik cooks up crisp production powered by airy...Read More
Jern Eye ft. Vex Davortex - Power
I’m sure there are plenty more, but two memorable songs I can think of with “Power” in their titles (Kanye’s Power and Tech N9ne’s Absolute Power) are both dope. Now it appears as though the word is three...Read More
Willie Green ft. PremRock, Zilla Rocca & Mad Dukez - Fasho Fasho! (Remix)
Previously featured alongside NYC rhymesayer PremRock on Had to Be Me and Diary of a Dreamer, Willie Green makes his DJBooth debut as a headliner with a freshly-remixed version of single Fasho Fasho!. Right off the bat,...Read More
F.Stokes - 1954 [Premiere]
As someone with deep roots in Southside Chicago—his grandfather relocated there from Arkansas in 1954—F.Stokes has both a profound love for the Windy City, and a sharp sense of the strife which his ‘hood has come to...Read More
Rabbi Darkside - True Lies
Realness, thy name is Rabbi Darkside. On new single True Lies, his first DJBooth feature, the Brooklyn-based rapper, DJ and hip-hop educator (who, in the interest of keeping it real, is not an actual rabbi) shares a few...Read More
E-40 ft. Lil Jon - Ripped
Now that he is a little older, Lil Jon has traded in his pimp cup for a good book, choosing to spend his nights at home instead of out at the club… psych! Today, the king of crunk shows he still reigns supreme over the...Read More
Locksmith - Fleming Street
If you happen to think hip-hop is dead, I implore you to check out Locksmith’s latest feature. Cuts like Fleming Street are worth more than 10 cookie-cutter, factory-made records. Released along with an equally powerful set...Read More
King Mez - Exordium
In classical rhetoric, the Latin word “Exordium” (literally “beginning”) refers to the introductory part of an oration, in which the speaker lays the foundation for the argument to come. While King Mez’...Read More
