Song of the Week

With all the new music that came out this week, we struggled to pick just one song so for the first time ever we're going to feature two tracks for our Song(s) of the Week.

Week of December 24th


Game Ft. KRS-One, Big Daddy Kane & Doug E. Fresh - "History"


For our first track of the week we had to go with "History" from Game's Purp & Patron mix tape. Since this tape came out we've been banging it nonstop all week. Not only is this song ridiculous the tape is in our running for Albums/MixTapes of the Month, which we'll be posting soon. We've been a fan of Game for a long time but also here at TBR we love our old school hip hop artists so when we saw that this track featured Big Daddy Kane, KRS-One and Doug E. Fresh we knew it was going to be an instant classic. Play and download the song and mix tape below.

Week of December 24th (Part 2)


Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul & Schoolboy Q - "Rolling Stone"

These four emcees together are know as Black Hippy, when you think about it its a strange name for four guys from L.A. but there all so legit. Jay Rock & Kendrick Lamar are probably the most popular of the four but when all of them are together, their chemistry is nice. This track was included on Schoolboy Q's Setbacks mix tape which was originally on sale on itunes but just this week Q let put it out online for free. Black Hippy throws their lyrics over a classic rock song by The Zombies called "Time of the Season" mixed with their own west coast touch. Play and download the song and mix tape below.
