Freddie Gibbs x Madlib - Thuggin

 However unlikely the collaboration seems, Gangsta Gibbs meets Quasimoto is proving to be an immaculate mixture on this particular track.  The "Thuggin" EP is setting message boards and twitter timelines ablaze since its early release today. The word here is distinct...one distinct voice over a truly distinct sound. Smells like real hip-hop to me, take a whiff.

M.E.D. - Blaxican prod. by Madlib

M.E.D.'s album Classic will be released tomorrow on the legendary Stones Throw Records. "Blaxican" is produced by the grand wizard of beats himself, Madlib. M.E.D. goes in a positive direction with "Blaxican" by merging the similar struggles of African Americans and Mexicans, who have historically been pitted against one another in inner cities all across America. The Classic album boasts appearances from Talib Kweli and Aloe Blacc, as well as production from Alchemist, Oh No and Madlib. And if the album title is any indication, we are in for some genuine head-knocking-mind-liberating hip-hop. Who's complaining? For now, enjoy the video.
