Supreme Team – See

producer extraordinaire, Madlib, and virtuoso drummer Karriem Riggins hooked up post-Dilla’s passing to create the Supreme Team. in case you’ve been living at the bottom of the ocean for the past couple of weeks, Stones Throw, the indie Interscope, has this shit as the first track off it’s newest compilation, B Ball Zombie War. Supreme Team is really reminiscent of what Madlib and Jay were doing with Champion Sound, especially in the way the new duo treat this track like a sampler of whats to come, almost like a beattape track, the beat switches up a couple of times throughout, filled with those classic sound bytes and enough knock to keep your neck sore.

14KT – Gee Whiz

i’m honest. i stole this from the big homie* Shoes’ HVW8 podcast. check Buff1’s Pure or the Athletic Mic League to hear more from 14KT. his chops are ridiculous (…pun)!

Wu Tang Clan – The Heart Gently Weeps

i usually make it a point not to be one of those oh-here’s-every-fuckin-track-that-leaked-in-the-last-30-minutes type site, no offense to those that do it**, but if site’s were printed media most other sites would be fuckin tabloids. rant over.

so i usually don’t talk about “new”, “major” shit, but this is the Wu Tang Clan. even though the track has a third of the clan on it, it still comes off hard. there’s been much said about wether or not the cats still have it in ‘em to make a dope record, how’s it gonna be compared to the 36 Chambers, blah blah blah. whatever, i say on THIS song, the MC’s are dope, the beat is eerie yet grimy, that’s all that really matters. as dope as this is though, i dunno if it’s better than the first time Ghost touched the sample.

* speaking of which, if you haven’t already done it, SUBSCRIBE to the House Shoes podcast, do your life a favor.

** if you take offense then fuck it, gotta be that way.
