ASAP Rocky - The Peso EP

 

 

If you check NationOfMillions then you've probably heard of ASAP Rocky. Not because we have been up on his music since day one, because we haven't (please accept our late pass). You are probably familiar with him because if you frequent this site then you know your shit. Like the previous post's topic, Jay Elect, ASAP Rocky is one of those artists that I am most def checking for. Dude isn't the baddest rapper to ever come out of Harlem, but his shit is just so fresh it doesn't matter. Just to bring you up to speed, here is a zip of 6 of his iller records. I call it The Peso EP but there is nothing official about it. A better title would probably be ASAP Rocky Songs That I Really Like, but The Peso EP just sounds better. If you are familiar already then there isn't much new here ("Peso" and "Trilla" are the newest records), but if ASAP Rocky is new to you then download this immediately! For everything ASAP check them out HERE.

Jay Electronica feat. Mobb Deep - Call Of Duty

 

 

Yes! This is what I'm talking about, or actually more correctly what I haven't been talking about. As you can tell new posts are far and few between around these parts. There are a lot of hot records and hot artists out today, but none of them make me want to run to the site and post their shit. Jay Electronica isn't one of those dudes. I'm a fan. Dude can rap. I don't mean a few hot 16's can rap, I mean he can fuck with the Nas', Jay-Z's, Andre 3000's of the game can rap. "Exhibit C" is still the best song that has come out in the past few years to me. This is why I ran to the site to post this new record featuring Mobb Deep. Enjoy!

Treats #88 - L.L. Cool J "Year Of The Hip-Hop" (circa 1994)

 

 

 

L.L. Cool J is hard as hell! Well not so much these days, but this record here is much closer to the "Rock The Bells" L.L. than it is to the "Hey Lover" L.L. This was actually recorded back in '94 with K-Def, but was lost (behind a radiator) until now. Slice-Of-Splice Records is going to press up 500 copies of this record, so if you have the cash click HERE to pre order your copy. For the full story on this unreleased L.L. Cool J joint let's take it straight from the soundcloud page...

 

"Back in 1994 K-Def was working on some beats out of the B Room in Marly Marl's House Of Hits when LL Cool J walked in on his session and said "let's make some tracks together". Uncle L had always wanted to rhyme on a track using the famous ESG breakbeat 'UFO', so he had Def lay it down with some scratches and then went to town with the mic. Both thought they had a sure fire hit on their hands but unfortunately it was never used.


The DAT tape of the studio session was feared lost for several years before it eventually turned up stuck behind a radiator! Now, 17 years later, K-Def and Slice-of-Spice are proud to present 'Year Of The Hip Hop' in all it's vinyl glory.

As with all Slice-of-Spice pressings, no expense is being spared for this vinyl labor of love. Outside of a full color cover, with a 3mm spine, the special limited edition version comes on solid orange vinyl, with individual gold stamp numbering. Once again we're coming at you with strong cover art from the legendary Joe Buck, and personally we think this is his best one yet!"

Jay Swing - Up In This Bitch! (Mixtape)

 

 

This mix is on some rap shit... it was recorded 10 years ago... in a time before serato... where recordings still had record pops... when people actually searched out and bought records... in an actual record store no less... ah, the good 'ol days!

 

Cover art by Rhek!

Happy New Year

 

 

So for the past month its seemed like we've been closed. No new posts, then the site disappeared over Christmas for a day. Not exactly the way we like things run around here. Truth be told, the last month has been hectic and this has pretty much became a one man show. So for the next few days we are closed for business, but come early 2011 it will be strictly business, again. We feel we have some unfinished business (yeah, EPMD junkies over here). Expect Rap Treats galore. 12 inches too. Going forward I could give a fuck if Drake, or Kid Cudi, or Joe Budden or any of these internet rap dudes release another song to the internet clones. We are going to focus on classic shit. Now classic shit could mean some new music as well but I guarantee you it will be a banger. Not this disposable music that has been flooding the net. Anyways, that's my rant. Nation Of Millions is still here... just been a little sleepy... but we are back in effect, snappin' necks and cashin' checks. Soon. Happy New Year.
