Since I’m currently at this bowling alley I’m forced to post this exclusive via my phone. Let’s see how it works out… some West Coast heat off producer RythmIQ’s Shutup & Listen v.1.

I still have no clue who Kida is, but being associated with Focus seems to prove positive as the first track I heard from dude was featuring some heavy hitters. I posted an incomplete radio rip of this a few days ago. Now it’s time for that CD quality! Shouts to Ty Cannon.

In the same vein as Homage to Pete Rock (w/ Sha Stimuli, Big Pooh and Kurupt) Homage to DJ Premier (w/ Phonte, Royce Da 5′9″ and Stat Quo) and Homage to J Dilla (w/ Illa J, Frank Nitti & Slum Village); Focus is back with a tribute to the good doctor. Word is the final version will feature another West Coast emcee. Until then, enjoy this radio rip.

Some new (as far as I know) Crooked I. Off (Detroit producer) Keyz‘ album World Premiere, which I’ve included as a bonus in the post.

On set of the Slaughterhouse machine’s upcoming video; directed by John Colombo.

Crooked I steps into the Booth to talk with Z about the possibility of a Slaughterhouse reality series, what he believes it will take to rehabilitate the West Coast hip hop scene and the ailing music industry as a hole. He also gives the full story behind his Mr. Pig Face character. Crook also chopped it up with Styles over at AHH about his beef with Snoop and how it ended.

Crooked I’s Mr. Pig Face Weapon Waist EP is available now! Same goes for the Horse Shoe Gang’s Gangsta MC album.

The Beatkingz catch up with Crooked I’s blood brothers to speak about the formation of the group, their musical influences and why they are different than the new Jerk movement. Gangsta MC drops tomorrow/today (November 3rd). Cop that.

I first saw this and thought it was a blend with all these artists on it, but what do you know, all these artists laid verses to this track. Dopeness.
