Here goes a leak off Lil’ Dap & Melachi’s Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal, releasing Sept. 28th, featuring Jeru the Damaja. Salutes to that man, and salutes to Group Home on this. But let’s be honest here, Fat Joe’s I’m Gone > this. Props to DJ Premier Blog. Peace to the God, Keith Elam!

Nice, I always enjoy new Reks/Statik Selektah shit. This track in particular is off his upcoming teaser EP (dropping this fall) as well as In Between the Lines v.2 (hosted by DJ Green Lantern, DJ Ill Will and Statik Selektah). Reks’ new album, Rhymatic Eternal King Supreme is also dropping first quarter 2011, with production from DJ Premier, Statik Selektah, Pete Rock, Hi-Tek, Nottz, Sha Money XL and more. You can also plan on checking Reks live alongside 1982 (Statik Selektah x Termanology) in October at our showcase at this year’s A3C Festival in Atlanta. More on that later.
