There are many reasons why Mega Montana is my favorite rapper.

If you’re buying one album this year…

This is great news, Ill Bill being one of my favorite rappers, and Muggs one of my favorite producers. The album he did with GZA was pretty good, the one with Sick Jacken had some of the rawest rap tracks from recent times (Land Of Shadows was perhaps the best song of that year) on it, so I’m thinking this should be nothing short of epic.

The project with Sean Price (Pill?) should be very interesting as well. Two unique, hardcore Brooklyn vets sharing the mic; that’s a dream combo. Let Necro handle the production.

Do you, like me, have a permanent place for Doggystyle in your Top 5 Rap Albums Of All Time? Then this mix here is pure gold.

It’s same sound, but I’ve heard close to none of these tracks before. The bay, like the south, is something to be explored for ex-New-York-talibans like me. Which is what I’m doing these days, listening to UGK, Marcus, Playboy Tre, Too Short, Devin The Dude, E-40, Z-Ro (who quickly has become one of my favorite lyricists), K-Rino, DJ Screw, Lil B, Outkast, Goodie Mob, Scarface, as much I can. There’s just too much of it… and the midwest and everywhere else outside of New York is pushing the same sound (see Freddie Gibbs).
