New music: Rhymefest & Skyzoo - Crack The Code
Rhymefest murders another track! Here's DJ RTC on "Crack The Code" taken from Closed Sessions Vol. 1 project dropping on March 2:
"I really dug into Skyzoo's material while making the first Brainiac Mixtape with Naledge. He put two Skyzoo tracks on the mix and I was more than impressed. I went back into Sky's catalog and eagerly awaited the release of his debut LP, The Salvation. Shortly before the album's release, I had the chance to interview Skyzoo and he told me that he heard about Closed Sessions, and our Dimes and Dozens party in which we bring out of town artists into Chicago and have them perform at our monthly event. He expressed interest in doing the same and I was definitely with it. We organized a show for Skyzoo at The Darkroom, and setup a Closed Session for him the following day. Virgil and Ruben took Sky all around the city before his show, and when he hit SoundScape we could all tell that Chicago had made an impression on him. Rhymefest ended up just being at the studio during Skyzoo's session, the two hit it off very quickly with help from this K-Salaam and Beatnick track and the concept for "Crack The Code" was born. Skyzoo's verse centers on the intricacies of Chicago, while Rhymefest raps about the nature of New York City. It's an homage to two great homes for Hip Hop, and a pairing of two great emcees."

Beatnick & K-Salaam - Where The Streets Have No Name album
This dropped a week ago but I never got around to posting it. It's a full-length album featuring all production by Beatnick & K-Salaam, performances from Lil Wayne, Bun B, Young Buck, Talib Kweli and K'naan & Colin Munoe being given away as a FREE download, thanks in part to imeem and illroots.com. Not sure what business model that reflects or how this whole thing works from a financial point of view but never mind that - just enjoy the music....

New music featuring Young Buck
I know dude sounded crazy on that infamous phone call with 50 but he still makes good-ass records and if people ain't walking away in droves from Officer Rickey (and believe me, they're not even though he's badly losing his so-called 'battle' wtih Curtis), then cats can give Buck a pass:
Young Buck - "Did U Miss Me" | "Let the Beat Rock" (prod. Scorp Dezel)
C-Bo feat. Young Buck - "They Callin My Name" from West Coast Mafia/G-Unit South records (er, what?).
Young Buck - "Whatever"
Colin Munroe feat. Young Buck - "I'm Fine" (Prod. by Beatnick & K-Salaam) [direct zip file download link]
