New album: Elzhi - Elmatic

I have never been big on Elzhi's music, as a matter of fact I have never given any of his albums a chance, but I decided to download this after having heard one of the singles. Not only is this a great tribute to one of the best albums of all time but it is also a great continuation with his own personal touch and remixes of the original beats. In other words it is not a complete rip off.

It has the exact same type of vivid imagenary and you can clearly hear how he has tried to capture the magic of Nas' rhymes of the original album so to speak.

Rare Big L interview + New album coming out

R.A. the Rugged Man posted this video on his Twitter-page yesterday. It's an interview from 1997 with Big L which he did during his European tour, I guess. Funny to hear how they actually took ratings in magazines serious back then cus nobody gives a flying fuck today.

They are putting out a new Big L album on May 31 with remastered tracks from the Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous and The Big picture recording sessions, tracks that didn't make the final cut back then (+ some freestyles). Considering how dope those two albums were, it can only be hot stuff.
