Liquid K-ZN - Wounded Soldier (Saida Crook Diss Track)

I’ll let the homies tell it: “After Hype Magazine did an artitle with us, a lot of people have been asking about the Saida Crook dis track that Alligatah MC recorded 5 years ago. This was a random track and it wasnt meant to be in any project/album/or mixtape. But because peeps have been asking us about it. Here it is. Please note, in no way do we potray “Beef” (conflict among artists especialy in Hip-hop Music). We promote lyricism, brotherhood, art, culture and selfcontrol. Our opinion in a “beef” point of view should NOT influence yours as you have no understanding of its source. We will not appreciate people dissing or harassing any artist/individual as a form of showing support and loyalty for Liquid K-ZN.”

Proverb ft. RJ Benjamin - The Lullaby

b-boy-stance.jpg

Says the homie Proverb (whose work ethic gets more and more scary if i should say so myself): “Now off the bat you may recognize this beat as well as the melody as sung by the very talented RJ Benjamin. This was the original recording of the song that is now know as “The Journey - Off Manuscript” which features equally talented Tebogo (of Jazzworkx.) The truth is after this version was recorded there were a few “unforeseen” circumstances which forced me to record a new version of the song, the production was then given to Sliquor who recorded a completely different song (Dreamer) and still featured RJ Benjamin. RJ kept the melody the same and just adjusted the lyrics to suit the new version.”

TK and I got to know each other during the shooting of the Always Keep Moving Dance Competition and she agreed to hop into studio and feature on a song. Unfortunately she has since passed but her music and her sensational spirit will forever live on. Rest in Peace TK..”

Despite what the title of this post says, this is suppose to be the 6th joint from Reason’s series of leaks.

Says Boogie: “I got to admit, this week’s exclusive is tha BOOM!!! Here’s an interesting story about this joint on how it came about… I got this from REAS himself: It was Sunday 29 march at 8pm, When Uno (Ill-Skillz member from Cape Town) wanted to do a joint before he leaves back the mother city. X-rated lands up at my spot to hang, and we call up Ootz to make summin happen. We call up Spencer of Hear Street to use his studio for a while and lace summin and BAM… After an interesting call from Nthabi, who was at Sun City having the time of her life at the time, we started recording this beautiful piece of work. And for the first time in a while… I’m really proud!
 Enjoy!”

Cool antecdote about the Pryslezz/Slum Village beat… I made that beat in 2006 as my J.Dilla Dedication beat, so to have Slum Village on it actually means a lot to me… kinda like a dream fully realized. Anyway, enjoy!”

Nthabi - Questions

Spotted on the FB page of the femcee with the most male groupies this side of the equator. Basically she asked her fans to send her questions and offered to answer them in a song. Which she did exceptionally as we have all or at least most come to expect of her- except one, the most important one. Who is the most overrated in Mzansi? She settled for that diplomatic no comment nonsense. See, that’s why hip hop eMzansi ain’t interesting coz yall don’t air these wack mofos out, Nthabi…LOL!

DJ BlaQt Selects Korianda On Str. Flava Mixtape Vol. 1

str._flava_net_kava_261_x_264.jpg

And we were told to tell you this verbatim: “The timing of this release of Korianda freestyles, unreleased goodies and other rare treats (compiled by his number one fan DJ BlaQ T) makes little sense on a number of fronts. Firstly, as the clutch of joints uploaded on his MySpace page suggest, Korianda Izajah has moved on to considerably harsher dancehall terrain; a zone more commonplace with the extended Chronic Clan’s repertoire than with Fifth Floor’s 2005 album Attention to Detail. Secondly, BlaQt has been sitting on this material since 2006, flashing it like a hobo rocking a trench coat on his blog and elsewhere in cyberspace.

We’re like dem kaapstad kasi flats/ coz losing your teeth from these punchlines is maaklik’

Straight heat. LOL @ the outro. This jam right here is taken from The Reasoning due November 21.


Killa M - Nothing More, Nothing Less (Unmastered) + Maliq - Gimme Gimme

killa_m_480_x_318.jpg

Just as the doctor ordered- back to back unreleased heat from the Mahlangu brothers. Recorded in 2006, Maliq drops another banger over another beat from one of his Seattle connections, this time Jake One’s protege, Vitamin D. And the Killa M cut, well, it just proves once again that the boy’s not just Maliq’s little brother is he now? When is the solo coming though?

Bassalisk - Money

You’ve probably heard him on radio as Katz but didnt know it was the same cat that goes as Bassalisk so we pulled this out of the archives to remind you why Ba4za featured him on The Bruthahood LP.

Child aka Poet - Internal Affairs + Tracklist

Lifted off Trompie’s den too, who produced two cuts on this. Bloem, stand up! Isn’t it too early to have an album called Internal Affairs considering Pharoah Monch’s Rawkus debut titled the same dropped only a decade ago?

Hit the jump for tracklist.

Zenith - Music from the Color Purple

cover_front_480_x_480.jpg

Durban native, Zenith, laid down some pretty impressive lyrics on the beats Detroit native, Black Milk, put out on the internet a few weeks back. The result is Zenith’s own version of ‘Music from the Color Purple’ free for download- just how we like it. Props to Rishaad Khan for the link. The artwork is a bit dodgy actually but don’t be fooled the music more than makes up for it so do what you have to.
