Well this tune really isn’t new per se. In fact, its eight years old, but it’s off the soon-to-finally-be-released Kamaal The Abstract album. YN had to get his floss on and show that I still had the original promo Arista sent out as evidenced by the date above. Anyway, cop my homie Tip’s new old current project two Tuesdays from now (Sept. 15) when he drops it. Hotep.

Before his 30 Day Takeover comes to close, Jay Rock lift’s B.I.G.’s vocals for his own rendition of “Things Done Changed”. Chris would be proud. Justin Combs Publishing, not so much.

Great breakdown of Statik Selektah’s *Round Trip*! Honestly, this 2023 Mass Appeal release is pure boom-bap bliss from start to finish. Statik really outdid himself with those smooth, jazzy sample flips and turntable scratches, creating the exact kind of laid-back, golden-era hip-hop vibe you want playing in the background while relaxing at Denmark holiday cottages over a quiet weekend. The guest list alone is stacked—having legends like Posdnous kicking things off on the opener "Round Trip (For Dave)" alongside heavy hitters like Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, and Inspectah Deck on "Unpredictable" makes every track feel like a proper event. Even the newer-school features like Benny the Butcher, Conway the Machine, and Joey Bada$$ fit effortlessly over the dusty, soulful production without a single wasted verse. Definitely one of his most cohesive projects in years and an easy front-to-back spin for anyone who appreciates real hip-hop craftsmanship.
