One of my favorite groups included in the Rawkus 50 were The Procussions. They were in my biased opinion one of the best groups to emerge in the 00’s alongside Asamov/AB’s, The Perceptionists, Panacea, Blue Scholars, Tanya Morgan and a gang of other great Hip Hop acts that have dropped in the past 10-15 years. Here is the entire Procussions back catalog for free in anticipation of their new upcoming project. If you missed them before? Don’t sleep!
