Run The Jewels was released as a free download today. El-P & Killer Mike. There's something really wrong with you if you're not dropping everything and downloading this right now. You can cop a physical release too. But this is some no joke, honest to goodness rap music. Killer Mike is a damn beast on the mic (El-P's no slouch either) and El-P as a producer, well I probably don't have to tell anyone about what his stuff is like.

Yes yes. Had this on repeat today. You're damn right EL-P's no slouch. I prefer his flow to Killa Mike's if I'm honest. Sea Legs is a ridiculously good track.

For the instrumental jazz/hip-hop fan. Very chill/laid back (though not much beat variation). Matched my rainy morning perfectly.

So much hip-hop / hip-hop-influenced stuff fits so well with the smell of people's barbecues.

I was going through my old tapes yesterday and found the judgement night soundtrack and man, talk about not aging well, but this song is such a treat.

Also no love for the fugees? That's also my summer chilling music.

Koyxen really surprised me. I'd completely forgotten about Sensational meets Koyxen! Really good call.

I love doseone, especially for cLOUDDEAD but a lot of his solo stuff and collaborations are also pretty amazing, Deep Puddle Dynamics is essential and is an under-appreciated classic, Doseone + Sole + Alias + Slug!
