Read moreBlu & Nottz feat. Bishop Lamont, Torae, Skyzoo & DJ Revolution – Giant Steps [Audio]
For the second single off their highly anticipated “Titans In The Flesh” EP, Blu & Nottz go straight for the throat with the speaker-punishing “Giant Steps” featuring Bishop Lamont, Torae, Skyzoo, and DJ Revolution. Blu sets the tone from the jump, spitting dizzying patterns and crazy food-related wordplay on what amounts to one of the more straight-up wild displays of rhyming on the project. He then passes the mic to fellow West Coast heavyweight Bishop Lamont, who takes shots at wack cats who claim to rep their hood but don’t do a damn thing to improve it. Not to be outdone is the one-two punch of Torae and Skyzoo. The Brooklyn tag-team delivers tough-guy raps in their trademark Barrel Brothers style, which means back-to-back verses of instantly quotable bars and some serious sh*t-talking. DJ Revolution, who provides the scratches through, brings it all home by absolutely going off with a track-ending display of his immense talent. “Giant Steps” (shouts to John Coltrane) is available for stream, and can be downloaded for instant grat off the iTunes’ pre-order link for “Titans In The Flesh”. The seven track EP is set to drop July 15th through all major digital retailers, via Coalmine Records. Additionally, Easter-yellow vinyl copies will be available in limited supply, and feature the instrumental and acapella passes of “The Man”, in addition to the instrumental for “Heaven on Earth”.

Fellow Sirius host and true artist at heart Torae stopped by SITM to talk about his new project ‘Entitled‘ which dropped January 15th via iTunes. It features some dope production between Jahlil Beats and !llmind along with a few features from legendary Pete Rock, Saul Williams and Mack Wilds. While on the show he put on his A&R hat with our very own Rich Nice, DJ Wonder and Tracy G to run through a few tracks as citizens called in to give their honest feedback. First up was an original from DJ Premiere, who placed the Kanye West “I Love Kanye” vocals over one of his classic beats followed by Azealia Banks “Big Big Beat”. He also spoke on the Oscars and Chris Rock as many were debating on boycotting while many were anxious to see exactly how he would address the issues at hand. Not to mention a rather awkward appearance from Stacey Dash that had many confused.
