This is shaping up to be a really good album. Apollo Brown is finally starting to get the recognition he deserves and Ras is well…….Ras. When he’s not smashing bottles on cats in the club, he’s definitely one of hip-hop’s unsung heroes. Their collaborative album Blaphemy is dropping on Mello Music Group on October 28th. Be sure to give it a listen, with features from Royce Da 5’9, Xzibit, Pharoahe Monch, Sick Jacken, Sean Price, and many more. Ras Kass fits over boom bap tracks like a glove, this is right on par with the Premier and Royce Da 5’9 album that’s going to drop for me. You cannot talk about the west coast and not mention Ras.

HRSMN - Historic

Can-I-Bus will be dropping Fait Accompli in the near future and we can thank him for getting the original 4HRSMN together, with Tragedy Khadafi, on “Historic” a JP Beats produced track. I want to be pissed off because a decade ago, I was all for this album dropping and now…well….I’m older and wiser and not at excited. However, I can still respect the lyrical abilities of all the participating parties. So, we will reserve judgement…..see what I did there?

9th Prince (Killarmy) calls upon the assistance of the Golden Chyld, Ras Kass, on “California Dreaming” from his forthcoming album Shaolin Prince. Why do I believe Ras when he says he’s got a Mitchell & Ness yamaka? If you like the track you can buy it by clicking on the link below and turning some of your hard earned money into a cold hard mp3. Well, something like that anyway.

THE WHITE CROWES (MR LAWNGE & RAS KASS) – SOMETHING R.E.A.L. & FAR FROM GOOD

White Crows

Mr Lawnge (Black Sheep) & Ras Kass (Golden State Warriors/4Horsemen) are kicking their group the White Crows into full gear. “Something Real” & “Far From Good” are the second and third tracks we’ve got from the duo. No word on when or if an actual album will drop. “Something Real” features a certain sample from a certain 80s group fronted by a certain boy named George. While this pairing seems odd to most of us, it definitely works. The sample on “Far From Good” is yours to discover and shouldn’t be difficult.

White Crows

Ras Kass is in more groups that I can count, but this one is probably the most interesting. Mr Lawnge (Black Sheep) and Ras Kass, the Golden State Warrior, have linked up to form the White Crows. Their introduction together comes on “Kick Rocks” complete with a certain UK group sample. I won’t front the beat is pretty dope. Ras is 0 for life on putting out group records, so let’s hope this one sees the light of day, just for the sake of statistics.

El De Menace, the black John McClane, and the water-proof Emcee would have been one hell of a super group. Ras Kass was lyrically murdering cats, Saafir was an emcee’s emcee, and Xzibit had the voice and charisma. What would have happened would have been epic, however, Priority Records……….We can only sit back and wonder what could have happened? Would it have been enough for Xzibit’s Open Bar record label to gain some ground and influence? Would it have affected his career at MTV with “Pimp my Ride”? Who knows, recently the 3 joined up at Rock The Bells for a blast from the past. Xzibit’s “Picture yourself crushing Xzibit with your tough talk, that’s like Christopher Reeves doing the crip walk” still holds up well with time, if you ask me.

“Plastic Surgery” – From Xzibit’s debut album 40 Dayz & 40 Nightz

“N.B.A. Showtime” – Supposed to be on Ras Kass’ Van Gogh,then on Golden Chyld production by Rockwilder, features a sample from the NBA on NBC theme song, which had shut down the groups use of the name Golden State Warriors, causing them to change it to The Golden State Project

“Bounce, Rock, Golden State” – From the Training Day soundtrack

VIDEO OF THE DAY : RAS KASS – H2O PROOF

Ras Kass released his debut album Soul On Ice back in ’96, he set hip hop on fire with his witty and technically solid style on emceeing. And with production and remixes from Hip Hop heavy weights, his sophomore release Rasassination highly anticipated. Then it dropped, as it seemed like Ras went 180. The production was lacking as a whole, the album was not cohesive. It felt forced, nobody was more disappointed than me. I had destroyed a couple copies of Soul On Ice from playing them so much. And to this day, the Diamond D, “Soul On Ice” remix stays in heavy rotation. The saving graces on Rasassination for me were “H2O Proof” & the half hour long “Interview With A Vamptire”……….so here you goooooooo
