I'm calling this out early, even though the track is unfinished, and there's still 8 months before 2010, I honestly believe that when these two artists begin to establish themselves as two of the world's most popular rap acts, people will look back at this collaboration in the same light as the legendary 1997 Masta Ace & Eminem collaboration for Hellbound.
I got a chance to listen to this record about 3 months, ago over the phone; I still have no idea when the full remix will be done and released, but I know for a fact that it’s going to feature some pretty big names (you'll have to wait and see). This verse was recently placed on the new "Please, Hold" mixtape which is a gathering of some very very old XV songs such as Cooler Than Ya Boyfriend, along with some very new XV songs and remixes including this one right here. It's sort of a mixed bag for me since I already had 60% of those songs on my computer, but it's great for people that missed all the unreleased XV songs through the years and feel a need to catch up.

So pick that mixtape up, and enjoy the very short, yet memorable, verse from XV on this epic Swedish instrumental with one of the world's best rappers, Henok Achido.

Watch Eboi's Version of Kano's "Hustler" on Tripletimexl.com!

What more can be said, Listen to the song! I've heard , Kano, Ghetto, Lazee, Adam Tensta, and now Eboi on this epic Hustler track. Lyrically, I still have to give it to Adam Tensta, but DELIVERY, I have to say that Eboi took it! He made 100% of every second of that Mikey J instrumental into his own work of art. I can't even believe I'm saying this but it is now very difficult to listen to the Kano version after hearing this song, and the original Kano tune use to be one of my favorite records. Speaking of great songs, the Tensta/Eboi duo have been picking some great instrumentals to rap over as of late, for example, Electric Feel (Justice Remix), Waters of Nazareth, Thunderstuck was amazing and now this!!!

What's next!? Seriously?

This song takes me back to 2005 when I was a HUGE DC The Midi Alien fanatic. Seriously, any New Hampshire Hip-Hop record from 2004 to 2007 was Golden. Instant Classics. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a DC fan, but not a fanatic. "Gone with the Wind" by Granite State is still, in my opinion, one of the greatest rap instrumentals in underground hip-hop history. That record along with "Livin like this" set a new standard for anyone in New England trying to release rap music around that time.

This new track definitely sounds like a 2005 DC record and it should do really well (as far as underground hip-hop airplay goes) and if you like this record and you do not have the classic 2006 "Breaking Point" album from Granite State, or the 2006 'FundamentalUSA Compilation', you may be selling yourself short. So download this record, and pick up the classic records that came before it, and BUY THE NEW ALBUM - titled RE:Public which is officially in stores throughout the USA & digitally international through Itunes . I love the creative new approach and sound of this record, but I advise people to check out "The Breaking Point" before they grab the new record.

So Here's "The Get Up", Easily the most 'classic' sounding hip-hop record on the album, and features one of my favorite rap Producers, DC. The cuts at the end of the record are phenomenal, you'll be stunned when you get to the three minute mark.

Enjoy, and voice your thoughts on the new mp3!

The idea of a show with Adam Tensta, U-N-I, Mickey Factz, Eboi, DJ Rooftop and Addeboy vs. Cliff is simply incredible and the fact that the show is going to be on Sunset Blvd is just phenomenal. I don't think anyone in L.A. realizes the type of presence that Adam Tensta & DJ Rooftop bring to the stage. It’s safe to say that the Swedish Hip-Hop Explosion is finally going to reach the eyes and ears of American audiences in one of the largest metropolitian areas in america. No one should pass up this show. You’ll regret it. Watching the youtube.com footage won't be the same as seeing it live and in person, trust me!

Watch Perfekt And Chance's "Don't Break It Up" on Tripletimexl.com!

First of all, Boston rappers rarely get any publicity outside of New England, and it's a shame because there's a lot of talent in the city, and most people don’t seem to care. So I'm going to do something that many bloggers have never done…. post music from a Boston hip-hop act. (When's the last time you seen a blog writer do that…?)
Perfekt N Chance, have been hopping from radio station to radio station in New England, and getting some notable airplay at stations like WJMN 94.5FM, WERS 88.9FM and WUML 91.5FM. This is their new video, which was created by a brilliant director named Derek Pike of NYU. It's doesn't look amateur at all. Derek has a knack for making very dynamic and entertaining music videos. The song is called Don't Break It Up; 2 Thumbs up! Pick up their new album slash mixtape titled "Return of Da Bully".
