Che' Noir & Apollo Brown - Hustle Don't Give (Feat. Black Thought)

'Hustle Don't Give' is one of the standout tracks from Che' Noir and Apollo Brown's collaborative album 'As God Intended', which features The Roots' very own Black Thought. One of the hottest beatmakers out there, one of the most exciting female MCs and one of the all-time legends... What's not to love! Big record - listen to the full album here.

Thurz - Riot (Feat. Black Thought)

After a succession of hits as one half of U-N-I, Thurz has decided that it's time to go solo and release his debut LP, L.A. Riot. Here is my favourite track from the album, which is produced by DJ Khalil and features the legendary Roots MC Black Thought. The album goes hard, so do yourself a favour and purchase one of the best Hip-Hop releases of 2011 HERE. Check what Thurz has to say about the track below and read the entire track-by-track preview HERE:

Rich And Black X Masters Of Our Fate

Two of my favourite joints from Raekwon’s upcoming 5th solo album, Shaolin Vs Wu-Tang. First up is Rich And Black, which features fellow Hip-Hop legend NaS, and is an absolute monster - Sean C & L went crazy on the beat. The second track is Masters Of Our Fate, which has a much more laid back vibe and features Roots member Black Thought. Everything about this album screams classic and is guaranteed to be one of the best Hip-Hop albums of 2011. Make sure you get your copy on March 8th. Wu-Tang forever baby.

In The Ghetto (Wake Up)

First single off J. Period’s mixtape, Wake Up! Radio (available now), which sees Black, Rakim & JL revisit the classic Eric B & Rakim original. Thought is a lyrical genius. You can also check the sick new documentary about The Roots which dropped yesterday.
