This Ghostface/Hi-Tek track is sonic crack.

"Josephine" feat. Ghostface by DJ Hi-Tek

New Beck is also cool. I've seen it slammed a couple places, but what's the one thing we've learned from reading Cigar Box Guitars? That many out there are stricken with what we call, "wrong opinions".

Today, Ed Lover put me in a very uncomfortable place. No, I'm not talking about the back of a Volkswagen Rabbit, I'm talking about him spinning "Sexy Back" during a break from talking to DJ Hi-Tek. I really didn't want to miss a second of Hi-Tek on the airwaves, and I get easily distracted once I start flipping stations, so I felt compelled to stay on power105, but Godammit, I hate that fucking song. I didn't even know it was Justin Timberlake until a couple weeks after it started popping up on the radio, with all the stupid fucking vocal effects. Anyway... I ended up getting home before Hi-Tek was back on the air, so me listening to "sexy back" was all in vain.

Anyway, Hi-Tek told Ed Lover that him and Kweli were gonna be heading back into the studio for another album together. YES. Should be good, seeing as the first Reflection Eternal joint is one of my favorite albums that I've ever bought.

"Soul Rebels" feat. De La Soul by Reflection Eternal

Also, check out Spine Magazine for a chance to win the album.

I can't believe I'm starting to like Papoose

So the recently released DJ Hi-Tek track "New York" is nice. The forthcoming album definitely makes October 17th something to look forward to.

"Where It Started (New York)" feat. Jadakiss, Papoose, Talib Kweli and Raekwon the Chef

What is not nice, is the cutting of Raekwon from the music video. Now I don't know if this is the way the video is going to be released or if this was just the folks at sohh.com cutting it down, or if there was a legal issue or what. Either way, it's lame. Sure the overexposure that he and his Wu brothers get here might make up for it, but it's still an injustice.
