Welcome back for this week's edition of Straight No Chase, your one-stop shop source for all things hip-hop here on EARMILK. This comprehensive weekly feature aims to share hip-hop based content we may have missed during the past week, while also highlighting memorable content we did cover. In addition to the recap of our best hip-hop posts, SNC also includes a Video of the Week, Project of the Week, and a brief list of recently released noteworthy projects and upcoming releases.

As any hip hop head worth their salt knows, these days music floods the blogosphere by the millisecond. Consequently, the landscape of hip-hop is forever changing. There are countless rappers, both established and up-and-coming, as well as renowned and budding producers and beatsmiths dropping their fair share of dope music for the listening masses. It is our mission to mine the interweb for both audio and visual gems, delivering them straight to you for your auditory consumption. But enough with the jaw jacking: let's cut straight to the chase.


Straight Killer, No Filler

Though people may get the impression that music bloggers and writers are freaks of nature who robotically comb the Internet for music, never missing a beat, I am here to assure you that we too are fallible humans who in the process of bringing dope music to the masses, may miss a good banger or two along the way.

This week's delivery includes a new joint from Roc Nation Management's latest acquisition Casey Veggies and lifelong friends Niko G4 and Rocket Da Goon, a cut from Chicago newcomer Auggie The 9th off his debut mixtape, a track from St. Joe Louis' collaborative EP with Flying Lotus, another solid leak from NY femcee Angel Haze's upcoming EP, Reservation (due out July 17) and a host of other dope tracks.

PROJECT OF THE WEEK

FowL – Tall Tale [LP]

In a landscape traditionally dominated and characterized by the East and West coast hip-hop scenes, the Midwest mecca that is Detroit often has been marginalized and even forgotten. Believe it or not Detroit has birthed a host of game changers in the genre hip-hop, from artists such the Esham, the great J Dilla, Slum Village, Eminem and Guilty SImpson to New School torchbearers Chuck Inglish, Danny Brown and now promising young gun FowL. With the blessings of fellow Motor City artists Eminem and Mr. Porter, the 20-year-old spitter has steadily built a faithful following while receiving praise and acclaim for his mixtapes. After building a palpable buzz on the blogosphere, Fowl has delivered his Tall Tale LP, which is arguably his most complete work to date. Featuring production from Clockwork Muzik, The Futuristiks, Fly.Union, Big Duke, the album includes some hungry flows from a skilled lyricist with much potential. (Download)

Friday Flashback

Slum Village – "What It's All About" (Feat. Busta Rhymes)

I've been pondering adding a throwback section to Straight No Chase since Week One. After battling with my nostalgic  urges I finally made up my mind and decided to re-purpose the 'Friday Flashback' header for the sole purpose of showcasing a throwback track for each week of SNC. The inaugural throwback cut comes direct from the classic (heavily bootlegged) Slum Village album, Fantastic, Vol. 2 (1998/2000). The J Dilla produced track "What It's All About" features longtime friend and frequent collaborator of Dilla and SV, Busta Rhymes.

That's all for this week's edition of Straight No Chase. Thanks for checking in and checking out our fresh selection of all things hip-hop. As always, feel free to comment on this week's tunes and/or offer up any suggestions and music/video submissions for the subsequent edition of Straight No Chase.
