I’m a big fan of Danny Brown, so you can imagine I was pretty excited to hear there was a short documentary coming out about Danny Brown.

Using only beats from Jay-Z albums and making a mixtape from that…sounds lazy right? Wrong- Jon Connor, not an unknown in the world of hip-hop manages to complete the task with ease.

October’s very own returns… albeit a few weeks later than planned! After the mark he left with ‘Thank Me Later’ it wasn’t going to be an easy follow up for him, but he’s done it!

There’s been some tracks kicking around from this for a while, but finally we get the whole project from Himself the Majestic. Part of the Shadowrunners click, this release doesn’t fail to please. Borrowing beats from Wiz’s cabin fever amongst others, it’s a pretty solid release, and shows that Mexicans CAN rap!

Fresh outta jail, he’s back to work! After having to wait from approval from The Throne, it’s been given the all clear. Good to hear him back, hopefully there will be a mixtape before an album, but we’ll see! Cop the track after the jump..

Hailing from Detroit, he’s brash and offensive and raps about eating pussy and a drug addiction, it’s Danny Brown. XXX is the follow up the the 2010 album ‘Hybrid’, he’s back with his offensive, catchy and possibly irritating flow.

TRC has just dropped a free zip folder of 11 of the finest UK influenced grime, hip hop and garage tracks! Associated with the Butterz crew and their fresh approach to releasing music and giving away zip folders, this is no different, cop now and play out!

Life Of Rhyme aired on Channel 4 on Sunday night, the program takes a close look at how lyricism and spoken word works within the hip hop and grime world. It features UK artists such as Task Force, Devlin, P Money, Lethal Bizzle, Giggs and many more presented by Akala.

Influential LA instrumental hip hop producer Ras G is back with his latest LP on RAMP Recordings “Down 2 Earth”. The album features 21 tracks showcasing Ras G’s ability to take throwbacks from the past, mixed with technology of the now and throws in some spaced out dub sounds.

Pac Div, featuring brothers Like and Mibb, also with a long term friend BeYoung, hail from Southern California with an old school influence, they’ve been at it since 2006 and had a few mixtapes since then, but this latest mixtape shows why you should pay attention to them.
