Mr. J. Medeiros – “W.A.N.T.S. Remix” feat. Naledge of Kidz In The Hall (MP3)

Mr. J. Medeiros gives us another sneak peak at the upcoming rerelease of Friends Enemies Apples Apples. Well known from his Rawkus days with The Procussions, Medeiros has always delivered some fiery hip-hop aimed at exposing social injustice and examining human interaction. The “W.A.N.T.S. Remix” features emcee Naledge from Kidz In The Hall and producer Stro the 89th Key (who reworks the beat from The Procussions’ “Little People” for this track). As a bonus, we’ve also got the original version of the track, which features the smooth vocals of singer Tara Ellis. Check out these tracks and be sure to watch out for FEAA, being rereleased on May 11.

Kidz in the Hall – Land of Make Believe (Review)

Kidz in the Hall

Land of Make Believe

Released by Duck Down Records


“The moment we have worked for has come to a crossroad,” said Naledge recently. “We strive for success in this music industry, but we have never taken time to look ourselves in the mirror and analyze what this industry has made us.” The duo has definitely been doing some soul searching, and from the sound of Land of Make Believe, Naledge and Double-O picked up a boat-load of confidence during their journey of introspection. Not only is the album jam-packed with bass-heavy head nodders perfect for blaring from your car’s stereo system, but it’s also laced with classical instrumentation and a hodgepodge of sounds from various genres, giving Kidz in the Hall’s sound more substance and depth without a single dull moment. And they didn’t do it alone: Naledge and Double-O invited everyone from MC Lyte and Marsha Ambrosius to Just Blaze and Colin Munroe – just to name a few – making for an album that packs an in-your-face punch full of amusing surprises.

Big Pooh – The Purple Tape Review (Review)

Rapper Big Pooh

The Purple Tape

Released by Hall of Justus


Not to be confused with a "street album" or a run of the mill mixtape, Rapper Big Pooh's come with easily the best compilation of 2010. Partnered up with Detroit Beat King "Black Milk" on the production side of things, this cohesive effort is definitely keeping the Hall Of Justus tradition alive. The concept itself was formed during the end of European tour mid-flight with Big Dho as witness. A response to "Reservoir Dogs" Mixtape which had HOJ alums Joe Scudda, Chaundon, Jozeemo and Pooh all going in over ...

Maja 7th and FSD Present – The Breakout (Mixtape) (MP3)

Good. It’s finally here! Produced entirely by Maja 7th and featuring appearances by Chi-towns finest, including Naledge, GLC, Freddie Gibbs, Mikkey Halsted, Pugs Atomz, Mic Terror, L.E.P. Bogus Boys, Dave Coresh, Phil G, and Juice, among others. Here’s what Maja himself had to say about the project:

Andrew and I stated working on this album around the 4th quarter of last year. I told him I had some beats I wasn’t using and I wanted to put out an album with predominantly Chicago artists. I had done some work with Killah Priest and some Wu-Affiliates and had been traveling around doing beat battles but I wanted to do something big for the city of Chicago. So we started making phone calls and people showed love. This album is about unity and showing these artists’ talents. It was my job to fuse those talents into a cohesive album. The goal wasn’t to make singles or club records. I just made music that felt right to me. - Maja 7th (Major)

Big shout to Andrew Baker and FSD, as well as everyone else who made this thing possible.

Kidz in The Hall “Jukebox” (Video)

In anticipation of their third album, Land of Make Believe (out March 9), Kidz In The Hall have released the video for “Jukebox.” It’s fun and flirty–literally. Naledge hilariously spends most the video trying to talk to girls who don’t seem too thrilled with him. Ah well, at least they look fresh.
