MP3: the MHz Legacy – “Spaceship” Ft. Danny Brown (Prod. By Harry Fraud)
MP3: the Mhz Legacy “Spaceship” Ft. Danny Brown (Prod. By Harry Fraud)
The Fader premiered this MHz Legacy song called “Spaceship” . I can say that if you were around in the late 90’s/early 2000’s Columbus Hip Hop scene, listening to this verse by the late Camu Tao from “U R What U Eat” that he used to kick outside of Bernies on High Street in Columbus all the time followed-up by a Danny Brown verse over a Harry Fraud beat, on a smart phone while sitting in the front seat of your shitty car in 2012 is a futuristic,and ghostly experience.
The Mhz were a Columbus rap group consisting of RJD2, Cama Tao, Copywrite, Jakki, and Tage. Camu died of cancer in 2008. The remaining Mhz are putting out an album called the MHz Legacy which this song is on. The album drops October 30th on Man Bites Dog Records.
Video: Killer Mike – “Reagan”
C.I.A? See Killer Mike ain’t kidding. Well I don’t agree with his dissmissing of Obama; this new video for his Reagan song makes some good points about Iran-Contra.
Killer Mike will be in Columbus, November 9th @ Ace of Cups.

Listen: Skyzoo “Jansport Strings” Remix Ft Chi Ali
(mtvhive)
Oh vey. Skyzoo got Chi Ali on the Remix for Jansport Strings which is an ode to how Skyzoo was inspired as a child to see a young rapper like Chi Ali out there living the dream with the Native Tongues Crew. The Jansport String narrative goes that Skyzoo got into Hip Hop because of this inspiration which helped keep him out of trouble. Interesting irony, as Chi Ali eventually ended up on America’s Most Wanted for murder despite being reared in the D.A.i.S.Y. Age. A mixture of factors exist in the world. Well, Ali is back out of jail and on Skyzoo’s song. It must be noted that Ali expressess remorse for the killing on this remix. It’s also a pleasure to listen to 2 people that are this delighted to be on a Hip Hop track together.

Watch: Yelawolf Skateboard, Play With A Gun & Jump From A Balcony
(xxlmag)
In the above Slumerican tour video Yelawolf does various activities that people value. Let’s rate them. He is really good at skateboarding. Like so good that he makes me feel like I should never type about skateboarding again because it seems fake. He also watches his friend eat shrooms. He seems like he is good at that. Yelawolf busts a handstyle. Not so good. But not terrible. Yelawolf also plays with a gun. Yelawolf does not shoot himself or his friends so although he is friends with Eminem the Slumerican rapper is no Cheddar Bob. Yelawolf performs to a sell-out crowd. He brings a 12 year-old on stage and also stage dives from a balcony. So he is good at pleasing his fans and being exciting.
Yelawolf is playing Skully’s in Columbus on October 26th. Rittz, Trouble Andrew, DJ Vajra and Path are also on the bill. Tickets are available at Dreadful Sounds, Roots Records & online here.
