tracks you may have missed

As the profound epilogue of The Ineffable Truth tour reaches finality, it only seemed fitting to unearth a preceding antiquity from the extensive arsenal of releases G Jones has to offer over the course of his nearly decade-long dynasty. His first ever vinyl release, ‘Ghetto Bird’ with doshy predates the bulk of G Jones releases but deserves just as much…

It’s Thursday and that means it’s time to throw it back with another installment of ‘Tracks You May Have Missed’. Before CRNKN was exploring the wide expanse of electronic genres in which he has dabbled (Future Bass, Deep House, Electro, etc.) the artist was making noise in the Trap scene. CRNKN actually introduced me to a ton of my favourite artists…

“This is anti Auto-Tune, death of the ringtone/This ain’t for iTunes, this ain’t for sing alongs”. When Jay Z dropped “D.O.A.” in 2009 it made some serious waves. Having the biggest figure in the game denounce one of the most popular trends is sure to turn heads. As a huge hater of Auto-Tune, I was ecstatic with the release, but felt…

It’s about to go down! As I was thinking about what track we would use for this week’s #tbt, I kept going back to the late 90’s era of rap. I reached out a ClassyVlassy to find out what he thought would be good. He mentioned a Jay track from the DJ Clue Professional series. I thought about it for a…

Hearing Every Rhyme. For this week’s throwback we take you back to the Chi-town streets in ’94. Common, or better known as Common Sense back then, dropped I Used to Love H.E.R. off of his sophomore effort entitled “Resurrection”. The album was entirely produced by No I.D. and I Used to Love H.E.R. has a really smooth beat. In regular 90’s…

Top down, chrome spinning! Our ‘Tracks You May Have Missed’ series continues and today’s throwback comes from the malicious music pushing duo known as Clipse. Comprised of Pusha T (GOOD Music) and Malice (now, No) the coke dealers-turned-rappers (who are also brothers) formed a duo that had the streets and clubs buzzing with their raw flow and lyrics. It helped that…

Y’all know who! For this weeks #tbt series we look back at one of the illest back and fourth tracks from Brooklyn native Fabolous. The original track, Keeping It Gangsta was a smash. It actually got spins on the radio back in ’03 when the album dropped. But its the remix, the bonus track on the album, that really holds…

Let it burn. We’ve been doing this series for a while now and we’re glad you, our readers, enjoy it. For this weeks #tbt we’re revisiting a track from The Legendary Roots Crew’s album “How I Got Over”. The track is titled “The Fire” and features soulful R&B singer John Legend. LISTEN: The Fire featuring John Legend “I realize, I’m…

Throwing it back to 2007! For this weeks Tracks You May Have Missed series we’re taking it back to Classified’s 2007 album While You Were Sleeping. Personally, this is one album I bumped for a whole summer. Everyday, through and through. This was a compilation album that had both released and unreleased material and one of the stand out tracks on…
