Gangrene, Vodka & Ayahausca (Review)

Gangrene

Vodka & Ayahausca

Released by Decon


Let's talk drug of choice. Hip-hop has generally gravitated toward alcohol & marijuana with the occasional foray into hallucinogenics and nose candy (simply reference Raekwon's OB4CL, pretty sure there's a few tracks where Ghost & Rae are snorting in the booth). These days hip-hop's medicine cabinet houses anything from adderall (Danny Brown eats them like TicTacs) to molly to cups of promethazine. Gangrene (Alchemist & Oh No) are here to introduce the South American alternative to absinthe, an apparently delightful little cocktail named Ayahausca.

New tunes: @yakballz @koshadillz @rza @therealkoolgrap @verbsisthehomie @Mike_Eagle (MP3)

The word?

This song is banging. Talk about horrorscopes? zodiac thrillers and killers, and some remixing of old lyrics, killing time and sort of a twist into the abyss of a spiral downward beat, I can only imagaine the craziest video to a crazy beat.

@Rza and @koshadillz w/ @therealkoolGRap – “Operator”

The most unexpected collaboration in the entire world has happened. The chances of this collabo happening (to be expected) was like austrailia and canadian military forces planning to take over the world with nuclear weapons….and well.. it did. Koll G Rap does him while Rza layces the beat hook and Kosha Dillz goes in for the last supper or Passover …

Big L, Return Of The Devil’s Son (Review)

Big L

Return Of The Devil's Son

Released by Distrolord/SMC Recordings


As for raw spit-game, there may have been none better than Big L. An MC every bit as witty as he was gritty, hip-hop's core circle still mourns his early passing. Many heads consider Mr. 139 & Lennox's debut Lifestylez Of Da Poor And Dangerous something of a classic; arguments to the contrary could be offered but only on the production end, plus that does a disservice to one of the best to ever do this rap thing.
