For all my 90s hip hop heads here's a free new one from Preemo, KRS & Grand Puba...

DJ Premier - 5% (feat. KRS-One & Grand Puba)

If I'm honest I've never been the biggest KRS fan, I've always found his flow a bit abrasive (not to metion his bizarre and well documented beef with Westwood, based on the fact that he only got playlisted on a pop music station after he made a pop song) but the years have been kind to his style and smoothed some of the sonic edges. This is downright good.

Plenty of RIP Guru posts about at the moment but had to add mine since Moment of Truth was so formative for me, to the extent where as soon as the beat from You Know My Steez kicks in I'm wrapped in the cozy duvet that is Guru's calm, considered rhyming and Preemo's solid, confident beats. The whole album has reached almost lullably status for me... nothing can stress me out if this is playing.

This is where it all started for me:

So RIP to the king of monotone, your voice will be missed!
