5 O'Clock Shadowboxers f. Has-Lo, Elucid, Nico the Beast - No Resolution 2

It had to take something big to rouse me from my blogging sleep. I've been waiting for the release of this song for a while now. Elucid and Zilla are about as good as it gets in hip hop as far as I'm concerned. That Velvet Underground sample creates a kind of anxiety which Elucid and Nico use especially well.

Zilla Rocca, Has-Lo - Forever Freestyle

It's been a bit of a ghost town around here lately. Sorry, my head's been elsewhere. Check out this goodness from Zilla Rocca and Has-Lo over a De La Soul beat. Looking forward to the 5 O'Clock Shadowboxers' Broken Clocks EP. Zilla and Elucid on one track. Bring it on!
