Take a listen to “Twothousand40″ below then scroll further down for the album’s tracklisting and an official sampler.
After an introduction on “The Symphony” and 25 years in the game, Ace documents his achievements and expresses his future goals on the latest visual from his DOOM-produced MA_DOOM: Son Of Yvonne LP.
Speaking of his current works, Ace is shooting a video with Brother Ali and R.A. the Rugged Man for their Legends Never Die collaboration “The Dangerous Three.” Take a look at Ali and Ace on the set.
Before the April 30th release date of Legends Never Die comes to present (pre-orders available now), R.A. and Mr. Green give us some behind-the-scenes access to the making of the beat for “The Dangerous Three” which will also feature Brother Ali and Masta Ace.
The legendary Masta Ace joins Beneficence on this Weirdo (of Crazeology) produced banger, accompanied by some clean cuts by Total Eclipse of The X-ecutioners. Off the upcoming Ill Adrenaline Records album Concrete Soul dropping Oct. 30th digitally, and in December on CD and wax.
With Masta Ace’s “collaborative project” with DOOM finally available (via Fat Beats and iTunes), Spotify gets the green light to stream the entire shibang. And while some folks were hoping it was a 100% original collab, the final project showcases Ace rocking over 16 cuts selected from DOOM’s Special Herbs instrumentals. Either way, it’s dope and you can take a listen after the jump.
Ahh shit! The eMC crew is back at it… joining forces once again for a track off Punch and Soulclap’s upcoming album, Underground Superstar, dropping May 8th.
Oh hell yes… Ace is back at it. Check out the first release from his upcoming album, MA DOOM: Son of Yvonne, which was written entirely to (MF) DOOM production. Shouts to 40acres on the heads up.
Paul Nice & Slice-of-Spice’s latest release is finally here and can now be ordered via Slice-of-Spice now. This track was originally released in 2000 with a remix that never saw the light of day until now. The cover art was created by legendary graffiti artist EWOKONE (check for the trailer after the jump) and is pressed on red 7″ vinyl (via link above). Regular black vinyl can be copped at the usual suspects including HHV. Limited copies available so get up on it!
Slice-of-Spice Records has been busy as of late, prepping and releasing a grip of exclusive gems from underrated producer Paul Nice. For their latest release, they’ve dusted off a previously unreleased Masta Ace joint produced by Paul sometime in 2001. You may recall the familiar sample as heard on Premo’s remix to Kanye’s Classic; well Paul actually flipped it first. After finding the original DATs and remastering them, the song is finally ready to see the light of day. The b-side features a Paul Nice remix to showcase that he ain’t going anywhere anytime soon. This is pressed on a 7″ record, with an all black vinyl version sold at the usual suspects (HHV, UGHH, Fat Beats & Dusty Groove), while the limited blue version can only be ordered directly from Slice-of-Spice. Peace to Richard for letting us premier this exclusively. If you like what you hear, support and cop via the links below.
The underground hip-hop mavens sit down to speak on the film Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels Of A Tribe Called Quest. I managed to finally catch it the other day… it’s not as “controversial” as it was originally made to seem like, but it was still a great watch.
Legendary graffiti artist Ewok puts together a mural framed with the same artwork featured on the Conflict release. 7″ vinyl pre-orders now available via Fat Beats. Peace to Slice-of-Spice Records.
