I’m starting to feel like Ches about these cats. How did I go so long without having their shit in my collection? You must check the CD version of this joint.

New shit from common market. Just like the track we dropped a while back (Tobacco Road), this has me fiending for new material from the dudes. Fans of Gabriel Teodros, Blue Scholars, Move.Meant, and Braille should def check on this one.

Straight of Illadelphia Rawkus artist Hezekiah (aka Mister Conscious Porn) puts it down as a mic controller as well as a producer. From listening to his last LP (Hurry Up and Wait) I imagine Hezekiah is best described as an MC who the conscious and mainstream crowds alike can relate with. That’s not to say he like a sort of Kanye West/Common , because his overall neo-soul influenced sound is what one expects out of a Philly native. Still he makes songs the everyman can relate to without being too dumb or too high and mighty. Big shouts to LeBlunt Flames for hitting us this one (as well as a shit load more which we’ll feature in the future). Listen to it and if you like it, buy it here.

Dope video, dope beats, dope rhymes. If you don’t check out any of the other videos we drop at least peep this one. Excited for Fest’s new album El Che? Yes.

Finally a new Cool Calm Pete track. I’ve been fiending for some new Pete shit ever since I heard his 2005 release (Lost the Album) and although I bought and enjoyed his CD of loosies, I was looking for more. This track hits the spot for now, but only makes me want to hear his new LP Leonard Z (which is supposed to drop later this year). Check the track and buy the album when it drops.

Doom on the beats, San Francisco MC Trunks holding the mic. If you’re huge Doom junkie then you’ll remember Trunks from the track Lockjaw (also included on this EP) which was featured on Doom’s King Geedorah album. Apparently Doom is going to be producing Trunks’ first LP. Some may be saddened to find there’s no actual verses from Metal Face himself but Trunks does a good job of filling the void with raps about everything from RPGs to Star Wars. Doom fans can certainly dig it if not everyone else.

Requested by gimmeadollr a while back (sorry it took so long but I was struggling with my computer situation). For fans of Glue, Heiruspecs, Move.Meant, and Eyedea & Abilities. Pretty much if you’re into the Twin Cities hip-hop scene you’ll enjoy these cats. That ol’ boom bap with a midwestern edge, sometimes religious, sometimes even a little grimy. Buy it here if you like it.

Premier torrent site. Find shit there that you can’t find here. Like before click the account registration address listed below and enter the one of the 5 codes. I’ve numbered the codes from 1-5 so if you use one, please just drop a comment saying which number you used so cats who come after you won’t have to try all 5 only to realize they’re all gone. Enjoy.

DJ I-Dee hit me up with this one himself. Good production and although I’m not really feeling the video too much the track itself is a hit. JG murders the track and Wreck does his thing too. Peep the video and download the single below.

Hot ass shit. M-Phazes on the beats and DJ Eaze on the cuts. We dropped some of his older shit here on CTR in the past so cop listen if you like the video (always cop legit if you like it) and check back for this new album. Shit’s obviously going to be heat. Shouts to GrapeApe over at MS for bringing this one to my attention.

So as many of you regular cats have noticed I’ve been missing in action for about two weeks now which is culmination of too many hours to be worked at my job with far too many employees as well as a broken laptop. I’ve kind of solved the job problem and I’ve def found a solution to my laptop problems (bought a laptop of this cat for 2 cartons of Newports), so I’m back in full force. HUGE, HUGE, HUGE shouts to DMXXX and Ches B for holding things down in my absence (of course they always do even when I’m here). Have requests, questions, suggestions, submissions, or want ton be affiliated with our blog? Drop us a line here or at checktherhimeblog@gmail.com. On with the new shit.

“If it’s too abstract, you need to get smart, stupid!Such a Moka-ism. Funny little quips and thoughts burst out often here. Following their Martian Xmas disc, this quirky concoction is pure modern Moka: 22 short, sweet, self-produced songs showcasing his soul. The longest track is 2:28.
Dippin’ into 60s soul, 70s psychedelia, 80s pop and 90s melancholy, Clap Trap is diverse. The sinister skin cocooning Summer Stalker is shockingly satisfying, but it’s criminal to not give it a reasonable resolution. Time To Clean Up is a simmering gem. Mo And Mo features wisdom from Sweatshop Union’s Mos Eisley, whose sharp lyrics could have lasted longer but for brevity, wit and all that.”

For fans of MF Doom, Swollen Members, MF Doom, and Louis Logic. It you like it, cop it legit here.
