Donny Goines – ReStyle + Sean Bell Thoughts (Video)

The homie Donny Goines shot an email my way earlier today containing this new freestyle restyle which will be featured on BB Presents Blog Business v.4. Plus, DJ Semtex reached out to Goines for his thoughts on the Sean Bell verdict.

LL Cool J – 5 Boroughs f. Method Man, KRS-One, Jim Jones & Lil Kim [Dirty]

It seems LL is trying to make a comeback (don’t call it a comeback Shake!). Fine fine … umm LL has a new record featuring KRS-One, Mr. Meth, Jenny Jones & Lil Kim. The 5 boroughs are back? Not with that line up James. Drop Jenny and Kimmy… for? Who would you add for Harlem and Brooklyn? Edit: It took awhile, but the Dirty version has been added.

Jean Grae Retires?

I’m about 30 minutes away from heading out to Osaka for some good eating the off to Mystere (shh, Lexx doesn’t know yet). I drop by my main j-o-b one last time and see a disheartening newspiece from my man William. The title… Jean Grae Retires? According to the report, Jean seems to leave a “I’m out” type blog on her MySpace with lines like “I will always love what I consider to be tru hip hop music… from the bottom of my soul. I hope you will continue to distinguish those who are contributors to the evolution of hip hop and other black music as both an auditory stimulation and a culture, taking care that they are put in a position to do so.” Now nothing is concrete, but it’s hard to ignore the Jean Grae Saying Peace Out name and the only picture on her profile (shown above). Check it out for yourself though…

Immortal Technique – Dancing with the Devil 2008 f. 2pac

I originally got this track a few days ago, but didn’t have any explanation. I listened to it and passed it as some random blend, etc. Last night I got an email from IT’s label with the song attached and more info. The explicit version will be featured as a bonus track on Tech’s upcoming third LP, The 3rd World, set to drop in June. Unfortunately they sent out a clean, unmastered version. Don’t ask me why. They are also in the process of shooting a short video. I included the fan-favorite original as well.
