The above video breaks it down into simple math. Hip Hop legends Pete Rock and Smif N Wessun doing an album together is aptly titled Monumental.

Monumental will be released on June 28th on Duck Down Music. The album features Raekwon, Bun B, Pharoahe Monch, Styles P, Memphis Bleek, Hurricane G, Sean Price & Buckshot.

I am currently in the market for Vegan Timberlands and a mint-scented razor to keep under my tongue.

For sure dude, rap is out of control. This time in a good way.

Duck Down Recording Artist SkyZoo will be on 106 & Park. Skyzoo will be interviewed as part of BET’s Music Matters campaign. This is fucking nuts. Skyzoo is one of the rawest in the underground so for him to be on BET’s version of TRL is bonkers. I guess he was on back in the day battling Jin on Freestyle Fridays..

But this is different. Its also kinda funny cause when is Jin now? Still in major label development? Skyzoo will be performing “Frisbees”, “Digital Analog” and “Speakers on Blast”.

Then the BK emcee will be interviewed. If you caught Skyzoo opening for Ghostface last year…. then you already know.
