Evidence, Cats & Dogs (Review)

Evidence

Cats & Dogs

Released by Rhymesayers


Evidence is that dude. Many heads point to 2007's Weatherman as one of hip-hop's recent treasures.

“24 Hour Karate School” Trailer (Video)

The link is still up so get it while supplies last. Additionally a video for “We Can Do It Big” already dropped and that song will be on the tape as well. The guest list is pretty heavy on this one (peep the tags) and Ski Beatz is no slouch behind the boards. That’s enough to mark my calender for its release on February 15th.

Ras Kass – “Thank You” (Video)

Tags: , ,

Anything that includes a Golden Girls – as well as an Eric B and Rakim – sample is boss. And since it’s Ras Kass related, you know that “Thank You” is (actually) golden. If there were any lingering doubts, though, RK makes reference to folks that he thinks needs mention – LA’s deejay Battle Cat being one of them.
