Seen on P&W!
We make it a point to keep our posts local/CanCon around here but sometimes when what’s being said is sooo important, we make the exception, and Jay Smooth from Ill Doctrine has always been a welcomed one.
Peep more of his stuff at his new site Nil Doctrine
This is for all those artists that use the “I’m Not A Rapper…” tag line as an excuse for their musical mediocrity and blatant disregard for the culture; but most importantly this is for the ones that try to do right by hip-hop and need some inspiration to keep doing it.
Seen on HHC!
As I always point out, the term ‘new’ is open to interpretation. If I haven’t heard it, or it was never widely released, it’s new to me.
We got at Kardi’s camp and apparently these are unreleased tracks that for whatever reason have surfaced into the digital hemisphere.
Case in point: the verses on “Holla Atchu” later became the basis for “Gimme Some” (off Not For Sale), produced by Boi-1da and featuring The Dream.
If anything it shows you the many stages a verse, beat and idea can go through before becoming an official release.
Kardinal Offishall – Holla Atchu
Kardinal Offishall – Day Dream
