This producer from the Mass continues to bust his ass to preserve the essence of traditional East Coast hip-hop. WGA may be Statik’s finest complete project packed with a gang of MCs from new jacks like Joey Badass to an unlisted appearance from veteran Kool Keith. Hard not to head nod to this one.—YN
You’d have to be a big dummy to not understand at this point how serious DJ Khaled is about his videos. Still he outdoes himself here in the scene where he keeps feeding his shortie stacks of greenbacks. We’re grateful for all the laughs this provides. Ha!—YN
The Young Gangsta takes it back to his old hood for this gripping visual. The violence can make you feel un(c)bomfortable but it’s a harsh reality we can’t ignore. Life is krazy, y’all.—YN
Curtis and his crew showcase their conscious side on this striking visual that addresses police brutality. Unexpected and well put together. Salute to The Unit.—YN
Travel Places is a classic Chef cut that really showcases Raekwon’s storytelling prowess. When I put this track on, I’m instantly transported—it’s like the musical equivalent of going on an epic Tanzania Safari Tours. The way he navigates the beat and drops those vivid, street-certified bars is unmatched. It’s definitely a standout addition to the Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Pt. II era that I still keep in rotation today. If you're looking for that signature Wu-Tang atmosphere, this track delivers. It’s smooth, sharp, and just hits different. Seriously, do yourself a favor and give it another spin today.
