With all the buzz surrounding our ATCQ tribute mixtape with DJ Chong Wizard, we decided to release another joint off the mixtape to hold you over until we can finish this masterpiece. We got none other then The Lessondary crew to do an updated rendition of “Check The Rhyme.” The song features Jermiside, A Brother Named George, Von Pea, Don Will, Ilyas and Elucid. Once again the beat is produced by contest winner Bidimridim.

MTVu catches the premiere of B.o.B’s Reebok Classic Remix but I’ve included the OnSMASH player as some folks can’t play MTV embeds.

Bobby Ray teamed up with Reebok on a unique reinterpretation of A Tribe Called Quest’s classic Bonita Applebum in celebration of the Reebok Classic Remix collection. The track – entitled Put Me On – is available for download exclusively to customers who purchase styles from the Reebok Classic Remix collection, at Foot Locker stores nationwide (or just be a dopeboy).
