Haha! Chief Kamachi joins forces with Charon Don and Reef to launch another Philly-installment. The Juju Mob, as the collective is called, will drop their Lp 'Black Candles' soon. Reef (just like Kamachi a member of the Army of the Pharoahs!) will lace some beats, and Mighty Mi will do some too. No surprise this one is going to be released on Eastern Conference/Good Hands...

The Baldheaded man is live and kickin' on the solo-tip again. The previous Guru solo-album left many with a double feeling, so this new installment is kinda highly anticipated (especially after critics were this-n-thattin' about the artwork). 'The Street Scriptures' will have contributions from Jean Grae, Kweli, Doo Wop, Styles P, B-Real and more...

Yeah, it's been pushed back a few times, but now it's really about to drop! The MED aka Medaphoar debut album 'Push Comes To Shove' coming end May. Producers include: Madlib, J Dilla, Just Blaze, Oh No and MC guests include Diamond D. I recall making the shortest chat ever with this cat when he asked me where the bathroom was at on Stones Throw tour. My answer was so stupid that i'm obligated to cop this album. Sure i won't regret.

While too many heads slept on the ecclectic 'Electric Circus', Common now returns with his sixth album 'BE' (equals 'Basement Elevation' or 'B-Boy Evolution') in an attempt to regain his former classic status. Eleven tracks already leaked on cyberspace but there’s plenty more hotness on the official version... entirely produced by Jay Dee and Kanye West!

Once again on Domination Recordings… go!

'The Pacifics are People Accumulating Creative Ideas Foregoing Ignorant Conclusions of Society... The mighty trio of KP, Strike3 (aka. Mr. REXford) and Norman Rockwell create uncut 'go ill' hip hop designed to serve the soul and snap the neck.' This intro is taken from the crews' site pacifics.com. When you hear this, plus that their debut is going to be released on All Natural Inc, you must be curious about this one! Sunday's Chicken! Soon!

C Rayz Walz’ third 'proper' album 'Year of the Beast' issues May 17 on Def Jux. Proper, because 'The Prelude' and 'Limelight' were compiled CD’s. The album features El-P, Aesop Rock, Rob Sonic, 4th Pyramid and Jean Grae, a.o. Something tells us this album is gonna be a banger, 'Ravipops' and 'The Black Samurai EP' were magnificent! Word is out that the first 10000 copies go with a free limited edition 'Evolution of the Beast' DVD, so be fast.
