VIDEO: Statik Selektah Interview W/Ignantwitted

I met Statik Selektah at a Cormega event a while back and he agreed to do an interview a few weeks before he dropped his next project. Well, as fate would have it, I bumped into the workaholic outside SOB’s a week before the Pre-Game EP’s release date (12/15).

The DJ/Producer discusses everything from emo rap to female emcees, then reveals all the collaboration LP’s in the works. If you love this culture, prepare to get excited on some fanboy shit. Undeniably one of the best (and hardest-working) producers of our generation.

ELZHI- The Leftovers Unmixedtape

The Leftovers UnMixedtape is exactly what it sounds like: A compilation of one of the game’s most talented Emcee’s unreleased and featured works. Whether it’s a promo joint from a few months back (eLZhi and Black Milk – Deep), a feature from another artist’s project (Danny Brown – Contra feat. eLZhi), or just a rare gem from years past (eLZhi and DJ Dez – Living), these Leftovers would have passed for a fresh cooked meal if you didn’t know better. It’s raw, uncut, unmastered, fresh from the studio and ready for your ears. No DJs, just eLZhi and his comrades, your speakers and you. Without the Leftovers UnMixedtape, most of these songs would never have seen the light of day, so consider this a gift, and come get your grub on!

VIDEO:11 Minutes With Brother Ali

Brother Ali is Hip Hop’s formidable Road Warrior. He tours at a relentless pace, something that is not only integral to his music career, but his actual musical output. His fan base is grassroots grown, and one that relates to Ali on a variety of levels. On his recent album, Us, Ali puts that relationship, as well as a plethora of others, front and center with the goal to bridge the gap between his friends and his fans. During a recent tour stop in Chicago, Ali sat down with RubyHornet.com’s DJ RTC to talk relationships, touring, and more.
