Alright folks, after numerous delays… A (2)Dope Mixtape: Empire State Edition is finally being released (check the tracklist after the jump)! We’ll be passing out hard copies at the 2dbBBQ on Saturday. Then on Monday/Tuesday we’ll hit the internets with a download link (fully equipped with bonus tracks from Sean Price, Emilio Rojas, Sha Stimuli, Nero, ESSO, Bekay, P.So, Punchline, Wordsworth and more). But right now, I wanted to hit y’all with the final leak. Skyzoo, Torae & CurT@!n$ got together over some crazy Illmind production for a special (2)dope exclusive. Thanks for all the patience and enjoy!

I'm looking forward to this. Catch y'all at the cookout.

Skyzoo, Torae & CurT@!n$ – The Incredible (Prod. by Illmind)

I mean, you had to have seen this coming. You had to know that I was gonna get the homie Sean P (and the homies Sky and Tor) for a One Shot. I can’t think of a better way to set off the series for the new year.

Big shouts to Sean, Sky and Tor, Court Dunn, Jonathan Master, NoHa and Dru Ha from Duck Down for making this happen.

XV was back in NY to honor Warren G and bring a little west coast feelto the pre party, seeing as he was the closet one to that side it was only right. It’s always good to see the homies XV and Seven and that also means theres another episode of “That Boy From Kansas” coming soon…I told yall we could kidnap a rapper and high jack him to doing a series with us lol.

VH1 Hip Hop Honors are right around the corner…well its being taped today but it will air sometime in October but last night is when the fesitivities really began. Thanks to VH1/Def Jam and DJ Enuff with the help of the Heavy Hitters I was able to enjoy myself and see a few familiar faces at the same time. Here are some vids of Torae and Skyzoo doing their tribute to a couple of the dopest emcees from the Def Jam roster…enjoy and their will be more footage with Mickey Factz as Slick Rick, XV as Warren G(didn’t even Know that was Def Jam) and J Cole as you should already know Jay-Z.

Slick Mick the Ruler started the night off smooth with renditions of Childrens Story and Mona Lisa and then went into one of his newer joints Whos Hotter. Honestly I wish we could have gotten a full Mickey experience but its was still cool non the less.

It’s always good to see one of your favorite new artist showing love to one of your favorites of all time. In this case it’s even better seeing as one is signed to the others label. When I got to the show and found out how each arist was honoring a def jam legend it was already known who J Cole was gonna portray the only thing I was unsure about is which song he was gonna pick.

Cool Concept, the new pay their respect through imitation of the old (?). J. Cole was Jay-Z, Torae & Skyzoo were Method Man & Redman, XV was Warren G and Mickey Factz was Slick Rick.



So Im looking to get a fake i.d, I cant keep missing these great ass shows because my mommy decided NOT to have me when she was 14!!
