Ghostface Killah & Adrian Younge – The Sure Shot (Parts 1 & 2) [Audio x Download]

Here’s another dope joint from Ghostface Killah’s forthcoming album, “Twelve Reasons To Die” dropping April 16th. Pre-order here. “Twelve Reasons To Die”, a groundbreaking concept album conceived and created by Younge that follows Tony Starks (one of Ghostface’s alter egos), as a soldier for the 12 Delucas, a 1960’s-era Italian crime family. But when Starks leaves the family, an epic story unfolds like a vintage horror film with gangster elements. It’s a gritty story of good verse evil that walks the line of the supernatural accented by Ghostface’s grandiose, vivid storytelling. The Sure Shot [parts 1 and 2] by Ghostface Killah and Adrian Younge Previously: Ghostface Killah “Ironman” Premium Collection: Gold Edition CD [Video]

Quelle Chris feat. Cavalier – Long Tokes [Audio x Download]

“Long Tokes” serves as the first single off Quelle’s upcoming project, “Niggas Is Men”. March 19th, Quelle Chris will be proud to present a new project “Niggas Is Men” that he put together with the help of some lyrically gifted friends: Cavalier (who holds down 9 tracks in remarkable fashion), Tanya Morgan, Fresh Daily, Denmark Vessey, DJ GroWeyez, and more. The dusty, sharp cornered 13 track project is a mere prelude to Quelle’s upcoming Mello Music Group debut proper, but is none-the-less a head-nodding, intoxicating journey through reincarnation, long tokes, the poisoned food supply, addiction cycles, and even hot & crusty hoes. Quelle is ready to remind you “Niggas Is Men”. Long Tokes (feat. Cavalier) by Quelle Chris
