Blu & Nottz - Marcus Garvey (Feat. Shad + Quelle Chris)

A dream line-up of hip-hop artists on one record... Shad and Quelle Chris lend their skills and unique vibes to the lead single from Blu & Nottz's forthcoming collaborative album called 'Afrika'. We've been following Blu since around 2007, and he's most definitely one of the most consistent and lyrically refreshing rappers in the underground scene. Cannot wait for this album.

Royce Da 5'9" - ER (Feat. Kid Vishis) x On The Boulevard (Feat. Nottz & Adonis)

My two favourite tracks from Royce's follow up to the critically acclaimed Death Is Certain. This is the fifth album from the Hip-Hop star, who is best known (by most) for his work with Eminem under the name Bad Meets Evil. The album features appearances from Eminem, Joe Budden, Travis Barker, Big Sean and others. Producers include Streetrunner, DJ Premier, Mr. Porter and more. This guy is one of the most of talented MCs in the game, and it's no coincidence that he has been a part of two of the most solid Hip-Hop releases this year. Out August 9th.

P.S. How much does the On The Boulevard intro sound like KanYe's All Of The Lights interlude?!

Bilal - Free

Since the start of the year we’ve been hearing about a new Bilal album finally nearing release via Plug Research. While we don’t have the official first single yet, we do have this Nottz produced song “Free” (not on the album). Snippets of the song were floating around in the past, but here is the full, mixed, and mastered version of the track. Bilal’s first official album in 9 years, Airtight’s Revenge, will be out September 14th via Plug Research.

H’exciting!
