Nothing like a little Dungeon styled mash-up to kick off the week. Some Big Boi mixed with Phantogram and some Sade sprinkled through out. Funky with a smooth aftertaste. Cop Sir Luscious L. Leftfoot’s Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors.

Mr J Medeiros, of The Procussions, is one of the hardest working artists in the industry. Fresh of The Procussions self titled third studio album last year, he releases a new solo track “Forenoon” produced by Beatsofreen of The Netherlands. The beat is dominated by the piano and drums, a live feeling that makes the work of The Procussions so appealing. The genius of Mr J’s work is how effortlessly he can rhyme over any beat. He glides on the track like it is second nature to him, which leaves one to believe that it is. No word on this being on his next solo project, though he’s been working on it. It’s going to be a busy year as The Procussions recently announced a European tour for this Spring and word is they are working on something state-side for the summer.

BlackCollar is KB iMean, Famous, and Rone Jeremy. KB iMean is 1/2 of the critically acclaimed Malcolm & Martin and Famous + Rone Jeremy are collectively known as NevaMind. In anticipation of BlackCollar’s full length album Half A Peace Sign, they will be releasing The Black Tape mixtape soon. “#Rappers” is their announcement to their peers that they are coming. While I am not familiar with the work of NevaMind, I am very familiar with KB iMean and the dude can spit. I’m not talking “Oh yeah my man can rap, spit” I’m talking “Melt the wax off your turntables, form that wax into bullets, clip em, load up the AK and murder your favorite rappers, SPIT”. Off that alone, this has immediately jumped up to the top of my most anticipated list.
