Chino XL cover

Yo, wassup people? I got the Chino XL collection almost ready, here's how it looks, with a few more freestyles to add.

The thing is, I'm not really good in creating covers and I'm out of ideas to it, so I'm asking you RD-fans if you're skilled with designs, please send me an album art.

It must contain:

• www.rapdungeon.blogspot.com presents:
• the chino xl collection
• a pic of chino xl (a cool one, not one of those corny pics of chino flashing his muscles please)
• creativity
  

Here's your chance to contribute to Rapdungeons, please send me your creations and I'll pick my favorite. I don't really have nothing to offer as reward, but I have a vast collection of mp3 files with some rare stuff, so I guess I can hook you up with something rare that I have and you're missing. I'll think of something.

Thanks

Promoe is a Swedish rapper, and member of Swedish hip hop group Looptroop Rockers. I had an album from him but never payed much attention to it, until I heard Promoe on the european allstar track DIVERSIDAD Experience that made me want to listen to a bit more from him.

Well, after listening to his albums and other tracks I must say that Promoe's flow is one of my favorites of nowadays. This is his first solo album, I hope you like it.

Fish Outta Water

Chali 2na [2009] Fish Outta Water

When I first started this blog, my first post was a Jurassic 5 album, which is a group that I always liked but have recently broke up. And since 2005 I think, that 2na has been saying that he would release a solo album. The album has arrived, and the real question is: is Chali 2na able to hold an album of his own? Give me your opinion's, but mine is yes.

Y Society still killing it

Ok first of all, watch this video, it's amazing, and after 3.50min you'll be blown away.

Remember Y Society? I posted their album in 2007 and it was amazing then, and guess what? They haven't blown up yet and are still amazing now. They have released a Free online EP with only 3 tracks, one of them is from the video above:

1. Same Beat (Damu Vocal Version)
2. Same Beat Live Freestyle - Y Society feat. Breeze (at WKCR FM)
3. This Advice - Y Society


And if you've seen the video, I don't even need to tell why you should download it NOW here.

Alive & Vibrant

Nero [2009] Alive & Vibrant

I have to admit that I usualy ignore most of the stuff from unkown rappers that I've never heard about, ignoring new talent is not the best thing to do but I just don't have time to listen to every new rapper that comes out or every mixtape that people email me. So it's not everyday that I discover a new MC that I like, actually, if you're new, you need to be really good to catch my atention. But this week, I've listened to someone that I really enjoyed: the kid's name is Nero and this is how he sounds:

And this mixtape features him rapping over 90's classics with the prodution handled by Mike Waxx of Illroots... oh, and did I mention that Nero is only 16? Forget about Bow Wow or Soulja Boy and all those clowns, this is the best thing I've heard from a young MC since Shyheim's debut album. It makes you see that some (rare) rappers of this this generation (my generation) still know who paved the way and want to make good music.


1. Rugged & Raw
2. I Get Lyrical
3. Buck ‘Em Down
4. Straighten It Out (Ft. J.Rocwell & TreaZon)
5. Alive & Vibrant
6. Dead Residence

9. TROY

11. Everything Remains Raw

De La Run

De La Soul [2009] Are You In?

"As groups like Organized Konfusion, Brand Nubian and A Tribe Called Quest motion to reunite and make new music, Hip Hop must remember that De La Soul has never broken up – even hinted to it, never pursued solo interests and never damaged the brand that has worked for them for 20 years. Hip Hop’s hippies no more, the three gentlemen from Long Island made it cool to be conscious, just as much as they influenced inside slang, mosaic sampling and in doing so, released three truly classic albums, with four more year-end-toppers to boot. Forever independent, De La Soul teamed with Nike to release Are You In?, the latest in a series of workout-minded original bodies of work, sold digitally to promote the Oregon-based athletic brand, and their various De La collaborations. As expected, the release is up-tempo, and the beats tailor towards Freestyle and Electronic more than Jazz or Soul. Like that or not, the lyrics remain razor sharp, and this digital-only release is more worth of CD distribution than most of what’s been sold hand-to-hand. "

- HipHopDX

It's not a new De La Soul "album", but it's all new De La Soul music for the fans, enjoy.

While other sites have the original all-in-one-track mix, RAPDUNGEON has a version with individual mp3 tracks according to the tracklist.

01. Mornin’ Rise ft. Raheem DeVaughn
02. Good Morning
03. Big Mouf
04. Attack of the Stet
05. Pick Up the Pace (Run)
06. Poetic Greed ft. Gina Loring
07. Greedy Man ft. Billy Ray
08. Victory Laps
09. We O.D.

"Aiyyo Ace, don't tell me you're thinkin about a return

...I'm kinda concerned, when will you old cats ever learn?"

Hey people what's up?

Yeah... I know.. I know... I tell people that I'm comming back, almost an year passes without posts and then I come here and say "Hey people what's up?"?? Fuck you Kazeiro
