Read moreEnter those bloody alleys blocked off with yellow tape and chalk outlines. Secret backrooms riddled with sly crooks and blunt smoke. Slink into the underworld, the seedy shadowland owned by Jeremiah Jae and L’Orange on their noir-hop opus, “The Night Took Us In Like Family.” Consider it the alchemy of Madvillain and “The Maltese Falcon”: a five-part fable of tangled crimes, narrow escapes, and raining lead. The door busts open with “A Conspicuous Man.” L’Orange’s carefully severed cinematic clips hold the frame steady. The Windy City-raised Jae muscles the narrative forward—the hitman creeping. Beats bend sinister with imagery aiming for the temples. Jae invokes dark clouds, crowns of thorns and LSD eyes. Bars written in dirt. Samples are disembodied and ethereal. It’s like a grand jury indictment doubling as a Greek chorus. A song title like “Ice Obsidian” says it all. This is frozen lava, black and white celluloid, the spoils won by sinners. Watch your back rap. Or maybe it’s the hip-hop version of the gangster flicks made before the Hays Code—raw and uncensored, deeply artful without pretension. Pitchfork once described Jae as: “a lot of people talk loud and say nothing; Jeremiah Jae finds strength in the inverse.” On “The Night Took Us In Like Family,” he inhabits both eulogizer and executioner. He triumphantly looms over the corpses and explains how this all came to be. L’Orange supplies concrete requiems of dusted soul: beats to crack safes, soundtracks to stealth assassinations.

Read moreLil Jon & E-40 shared one of the biggest hits of the mid-2000s with “Snap Yo Fingers,” and the West Coast emcee spoke about a reunion when VladTV recently caught up with him on the Krush Groove Concert red carpet, an event made possible by program director Adrian Scott. The Bay Area emcee said that he spoke to Lil Jon a week before the event, and was hopeful that they were going to connect in the studio and make new music.

Read moreRapper Ras Kass and hip-hop duo Luniz were in attendance at the 93.5 KDAY Krush Groove Concert in California this past weekend, an event made possible by program director Adrian Scott. While there Luniz spoke on the rappers they feel will stick around and the lengthy process it took to make their classic hit, “I Got 5 On It.” “We didn’t know it would be a classic but we knew it would be the s***,” states Numskull. Their debut album “Operation Stackola” went certified platinum thanks to the hit, and according to them, it was no easy task to complete it. “How many different versions we did? About eight different [ones] before we finally came to the one you hear on the radio,” remembers Yukmouth. The two recently put out their latest mixtape entitled “High Timez” on DatPiff with a deluxe version available on iTunes. When asked about certain rappers’ longevity in the game, Ras and Luniz were very vocal about Drake’s reign and how “Eminem and Kendrick [are] here forever!” See what else they discussed above.
