Way Gone Wednesdays: Cam'ron

Where the hell has Cam'ron been? Maybe I just haven't been paying attention but this new skit, "TV Game Show" is outstanding. Pay attention folks, we need more of this silly shit.

Way Gone Wednesdays: Bushwick Bill

Bushwick Bill, the littlest Geto Boy of them all, is the subject of a new documentary (with your help). I met Bushwick in 1999 at a Twista show. Surreal moment. Dig the clip below and donate.

Way Gone Wednesdays: J-Zone

J-Zone just hit us with a tasty collection of tunes including this hot-ass instrumental, "Seoul Power". He's straight killin' this drum lick.

Way Gone Wednesdays: NxWorries

NxWorries is a collab between R&B crooner Anderson Paak and producer Knxwledge. The result is a stanky, raucous delight. Dig.

Way Gone Wednesdays: Yasiin Bey

The elusive Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos Def) has dropped an inverted video for "Basquiat Ghostwriter". Still one of my favorite voices in the game. Dig.
