Gorilla Zoe – “Lost” (Feat. Lil Wayne)
Produced By: Drumma Boy

If you can get past Gorilla Zoe’s tone deaf singing, this is actually a decent jam. On the other hand, Wayne and that robot thingy are now eternally inseparable. May they live happily ever after.

A reminder that if rap doesn’t work out Boo Boo has a side gig to fall back on.

How awesomely patriotic?

About 3 months ago, I had an opportunity to talk to El-P, and during the interview I asked him about upcoming Def Jux releases. He revealed that, in addition to his new solo album, they were working on a supergroup album that would include Lateef the Truth Speaker and Gift of Gab. It sounded exciting on the surface, but the skeptic in me dismissed it as one of those ambitious projects that would eventually get swept under the carpet. (CRS anyone?)

Fortunately, I was wrong. The Mighty Underdogs will, in fact, release their super album Droppin’ Science Fiction this October with guest appearances from MF Doom, Mr. Lif, DJ Shadow, and many more.

For now, thou shalt enjoy the mighty video above featuring an entity whom we believe is truly MF Doom and not an impostor as sooch suggests.

Termanology – “How We Rock” (Feat. Bun B)
Produced By: DJ Premier

“How We Rock” finds Termanology trading bars with B-U-N B, while legendary sound architect DJ Premier mans the boards. This is obviously every new rapper’s dream session. The OG, the rookie, and the Trill. To quote Bun, “With Premier on the beat and Termanology, you gotta love it.”

Term tells the backstory:

“Around the time when I released “Watch How It Go Down,” Bun B reached out to Premier and expressed interest in working with me. I ended up hanging with Bun at his birthday party in Houston and me Preem & Bun cooked up this track for my album.”

“How We Rock” is the first single from Termanology’s Politics As Usual, due out September 30th. I gather they’re also shooting a video for the song, so keep an eye out for that.
