DON’T SLEEP: Wrecking Crew (Has-Lo x Curly Castro x Zilla Rocca) “Wu Tang Pulp Trailer” [PROMO VIDEO/SINGLE]
I’ve been hearing about this project for about 2 years now and I loved the idea. I moreso loved that this idea was in the hands and minds of three individuals that would be able to properly execute it. The three men I’m referring to are Zilla Rocca, Has-Lo & Curly Castro. The project I’m writing about? It’s called “Wu Tang Pulp”. That’s to say that Wu classics would be redone but with a Neo Noirish approach but keeping in the spirit of the original compositions. Check out the trailer below for some clarification:
In addition, check out the unofficial/official lead single for “Wu Tang Pulp”, “The Boxcutter Went” featuring Wrecking Crew (Has-Lo x Curly Castro x Zilla Rocca) f/Elucid (Lessondary Crew) AKA E Gutta. Enjoy:

DON’T SLEEP: Danny Brown “Blunt After Blunt” (prod. by SKYWLKR) [SINGLE]
The homie Danny Brown recently dropped another jawn he did with SKYWLKR via Twitter last night. I would’ve posted it then but for some odd reason the WiFi in my house wouldn’t work with either my G4’s or my iPod Touch. Only my brother’s MacBook & his iPhone. That’s a sign if there ever was one. In any event, here’s some new Danny Brown, “Blunt After Blunt”. Enjoy:

DON’T SLEEP: 14KT “14KillaTape” [BEAT TAPE]
It’s finally here! 14KT’s legendary “14KillaTape” dropped today via 14KT & A Side Worldwide. The first mention of the 14KillaTape I ever saw was an interaction between Houseshoes & 14KT on Twitter last year. I had no clue what they were referring to until Houseshoes appeared on The Scrunchface Show w/ Jordan Rockswell back last November. He told me that I had to hear this new beat tape 14KT had called “The Killa Tape”. He RAVED about it, if you know anything about Shoes is this dude’s ear is infallible. I asked 14KT about it the next day on Twitter & he said “Hopefully it will be released to the public one day”. Cool.
In December 2010, we had Magestik Legend & Jamall Bufford (Buff1) on the show (the interview was lost due to a server crash caused by high viewership) and Buff1 couldn’t even put “The Killa Tape” into intelligible words which was all I needed to hear to know it was going to be equal to or iller than “Nowalataz” was. I hadn’t heard about the legendary “Killa Tape” until late May when KT began tweeting about it and various A Siders and inner circle cats began extolling it’s virtues. Then I heard it was dropping on June 7th. SAY WORD! © Redman
So here it is, 14 slaps made between 2008 and now beginning from when 14KT began competing on the beat battle circuit. Without any further ado, I present to the inhabitants of Earth, 14KT’s “14KillaTape”. Enjoy and salute everyone @ A Side Worldwide.
DON’T SLEEP: K-Murdock “Smooth Talking: Twilight Edition” & “12 Step Program (Instrumentals)” [INSTRUMENTAL PROJECTS]
K-Murdock released two instrumental projects recently that I’d like you all to take note of & I’d like to personally acknowledge. First off, “Smooth Talking: Twilight Edition”. A Japanese instrumental project which will help fund relief efforts for Japan after the recent earthquakes. Secondly, the instrumentals from the last Panacea album “12 Step Program” (which had some INCREDIBLE cover art). If you’re a K-Murdock fan (or a fan of beats in general), then you should definitely be on the lookout for these. Salute Neosonic Poductions & K-Murdock…

DON’T SLEEP: Question “Re-Deux” [BEAT TAPE]
Question dropped one of my favorite instrumental albums of 2010 in “Standard Translation” and I didn’t hear from him at all in 2011 until last week.

Go to his Bandcamp page and download it before the free slots for the month are all used up…
