BOX:: MC Lyte, ED O.G. & Master Ace, Chino XL

There's nothing better than a little BOX! for your Friday. It's been a while since we've posted our rap single rundown here on the hill, so we're overdo. But we're coming back strong with some legends, some hipster dissing, and a remix. So let's get to it.

MP3:: Big Urban - Your Mother Is A Hipster
MYSPACE:: www.myspace.com/bigurbansmyspacepage

I don't know whose mother this is about, certainly not mine, and no one's mom that I know, but they different down in NYC. Anyway the duo of MC Kray and producer Scott Thorough have another subdued, yet catchy track on their hands.

MP3:: ED O.G. & Masta Ace as A&E Little Young

Ed O.G. and Master Ace together? That's the kind of thing that gets an automatic posting from an old crotchety dude like me. Especially when their song is an attempt, no matter how passive-agressive, to school all the youngsters in the game - again it's the kind of thing a blog-fossil like myself can get behind.

MP3:: MC Lyte - Rocking With the Best
MYSPACE:: www.myspace.com/mclyte

Any discussion of the top female MC's must include MC Lyte. For that reason, if MC Lyte has a new song out, then it's a must include in this section.

MP3:: Chino XL - Nahh!
MYSPACE:: www.myspace.com/chinoxl

Chino is XL both in physical size and lyrical ability. He's like the Puerto Rican Freddie Foxxx: he has no fear calling dudes out on record, as he would likely punch their face off if they ever stepped to him. He goes for his over this big, church-organ laced track.

MP3:: Grand Agent - Yup Yup (Yash Kapoor Remix)
MYSPACE:: www.myspace.com/yashkapoor

I mentioned Vancouver DJ Yash Kapoor's remix album on the hill a little while ago, but here's his first official remix - Yup Yup from Philly MC Grand Agent.
