With almost 10 million views on their debut single ‘What
Happened’ and a debut album released worldwide featuring the Legend
himself Sean Price, the band toured Europe with Limb Bizkit and the U.S.A. with KorN. Their new release Rocket is surely on its way to break some records as well. Never have I seen the Rock/Rap combination done with such precision. For a genre of HipHop I don't favor as much, this group really caught my attention with their flare and lyrical skills. The visuals below are a must see, if you've never experience this kind of HipHop before you are definitely in for a treat. Dope D.O.D. has sold out
multiple venues as headliner throughout the EU, followed by a tour of
major festivals in Europe as Eurockeennes, Printemps de Bourges, Jardin
du Michel, Vieilles Charrues and Rock en Seine in France.

BADBADNOTGOOD x Tyler, The Creator - "Seven" - {Live Performance}
Please forgive me for this post....lol, even though I feel Tyler, The Creator is a dope Emcee I can't explain the last minute of this video though. Nah...but seriously Tyler has the the voice and the bars to really make a huge impact in the game. But now he's just having fun with his craft, I feel a 35 year old Tyler will look back and say WTF was I doing. But when it's all said and done I like the "Balls" (No Homo) on Tyler for not being afraid to be himself by any means necessary.

Marco Polo - “What’s Wrong” (Ft. Rakim) -{Audio}
“What’s Wrong,” was initially produced and
recorded for Rakim’s “Seventh Seal” (2009) LP, but due to
clearance issues was nixed from the retail release of the project. It has since sat dormant until Rakim
gave the track back to Marco and he decided to use it for his forthcoming
free-LP “Newport Authority 2” as Marco states
“I’ve recorded so much quality material over the last
few years and I really want to share it all. It couldn't all possibly fit on “Port
Authority 2”; hence “Newport
Authority 2” came to be.”
“Newport
Authority 2” will feature appearances from Rakim, Big Daddy Kane,
Artifacts, Das Efx, Lil Fame (M.O.P.), Torae & Ruste Juxx all rocking over
Marco’s production.
Yet, the project
everyone should really be excited for is Marco’s “Port
Authority 2” LP which will be released this spring on Soulspazm
Records. “Port
Authority 2” features appearances from Organized Konfusion (yes, a new
Oragnized Konfusion track!!), Gangrene, Talib Kweli, DJ Premier, Masta Ace,
Posdnuos (De La Soul), Kardinal Offishal, Styles P, Nature, Rah Digga, Slaine,
Celph Titled, Ill Bill, Large Professor, Inspectah Deck, O.C. just to name a few...lol Now that is more then a feature list that's a Old school HipHop Concert Tour Roster...lol very nice. Checkout the joint below it goes H.A.M.

Wyclef Freestyles On Shade 45 With DJ KaySlay - {Video}
Probably one of the most underestimated Emcees in the game but Wyclef Jean is one of the best lyricist in HipHop. His unique style sets him apart from any other Emcee, he was doing the singing/rapping thing before Drake. I can only think of one Emcee that has a similar flow and that is K-Os but he's from Canada. Just watch Clef as he do his thing showing everyone that he still can hold it down.
Sunday

Chris Waters (F.K.A. Baby Pun) - "Dragon Born" Freestyle - {Official Audio}
If you don't know already, Chris Rivers (Big Pun's son) has been on his grind for the past two years now. Let me be the first to say "Goodbye" to Whack Rappers this guy right here is one of the final pieces we need to take back HipHop. This young blood is everything his dad was plus more and he's only 21. I mean I cried REal tears, listening to his flow gave me goose bumps. "Don't believe me just watch"....below.
Tuesday
Rapsody - "Godzilla" (Prod. by 9th Wonder) - {Official Video}
What can I say about Rapsody that hasn't already been said? Nothing much besides that fact she has been one of the dopest Emcees for the past 5 years. If you haven't heard of her before it's probably because you still have the radio on or you're NOT a REal HipHop Head. What more can I say, I'm just glad to see Rapsody finally getting her recognition for being one of the illest Emcees to ever hold the Mic. Big up to 9th Wonder for seeing her talent and teaching her the game.
