Eminem - "Drop The Bomb On 'Em" - Listen Here

Bisco Smith ft. Human?, Grimace & Esen - "Railroads" - Listen Here
Bisco Smith is largely seen as a solitary artist- the eccentric genius type, creating distorted headphone rap for late nights and early mornings. On his new single "Railroads", however, Bisco brought some homies along. Typically, rappers use tracks with several guest artists as an excuse to make a banger with significantly more style than substance.
Muhsinah - "Lose My Fuse" - Listen Here

Del The Funky Homosapien & El Michels Affair - "Bring Da Ruckus" (Remix) - Listen Here
It's a good time to be a Wu-Tang Clan fan. First, El Michels Affair released Enter The 37th Chamber, a full-band instrumental re-imagination of the Wu-Tang Clan's Enter the Wu Tang (36 Chambers) along with a random smattering of Wu classics, and now this innovative cult hit is getting a remix treatment all of it's own. URB.com, Fat Beats, and Audible Treats are collaborating to present Enter The 38th Chamber, a remix series that finds a crew of elite emcees riding the rhythms of El Michels' down and dusty soul instrumentals. Appearances by Diamond District, Del The Funky Homosapien, A-Plus of Souls of Mischief, Kam Moye, Nightclubber Lang of Boom Bap Project, Sandpeople, Von Pea of Tanya Morgan, and many more will add layers of lyricism to El Michels' signature funk, making it a complete and compelling package for all listeners.
