Aceyalone...Lightning Strikes

Aceyalone, one of the most underrated voices in hip-hop, is about to release his newest album Lightning Strikes, a dancehall inspired album. His last album, Magnificent City was entirely produced by RJD2, this his 8th(?) album is entirely produced by Bionik, "who’s known for crafting dub, dancehall, and reggae inspired tracks".

The first single features someone who I have noticed has been "featured" a lot lately, Chali 2na, formerly of J5.

Aceyalone - Easy feat Chali 2na

Aceyalone - Shango

Look for this release on Oct, 2 on Decon.

From the Corner to the Block

Among the albums releasing today the new Galactic album From the Corner to the Block on Anti- is one of the highlights. The New Orleans jazz-funk band infuses various styles into their music to create something unique. Most of the songs on the album features vocals from some of the best that hip hop has to offer including Lyrics Born, Mr. Lif, Chali 2na, Gift of Gab from Blackalicious, The Coup's Boots Riley, Juvenile, DJ Z-Trip, Lateef the Truth Speaker, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, Soul Rebels Brass Band, Digable Planets' Ladybug Mecca, Nino Moschella, Vursatyl and Ohmega Watts. Quite the list, need I say more about this album after that list? Nope.

Galactic - I Got It (What You Need?) feat. Lyrics Born (mp3)

Galactic - Think back feat Chali 2na from Jurassic 5 (wma)

Look for them on Jimmy Kimmell Live on September 6, also watch them live on their Fall 2007 tour.
