After a strong start, The Elephant Man's Bones kind of trails off.

Roc Marciano - "Slingers" ft. Knowledge the Pirate
VideosCommentNew York's Roc Marciano attaches some visuals to "Slingers," which features some guest verses from Knowledge the Pirate. This track comes from the East Coast rapper-producer's latest album, The Pimpire Strikes Back. Stream it here. Enjoy!
Mick Jenkins - "Lack"
VideosCommentThis video is from a track off of Mick Jenkin's mixtape, Trees & Truth. Mick hails from Chicago, and affects the same cold stare and disaffected voice as those from the drill scene, but spits over soul beats that sound like something Ka or Roc Marciano would cook up on an MPC, and avoids the cliche violence of the Chi-town for something more interesting. He comes across as dangerous and intelligent, the man who would both talk about revolution and then actually incite it. The video keeps this vibe intact: Mick, dressed in an all black suit, follows a man while rapping and at the start of the second verse grabs the man and begins to rap in his face. It's as if Mick Jenkins is a street preacher who can't stay polite, and has to resort to physical means to get his points across. Enjoy!
Quelle Chris- “Shotgun” ft. Danny Brown and Roc Marciano
New Tracks2 CommentsA new Quelle Chris track featuring Danny Brown and Roc Marciano. Found it on the Fool's Gold blog, but no info on whether or not this is gonna lead to some more collaborative tracks between these guys.
Y'all know I love Danny, but I think the beat steals the show on this one. The dark guitars and sour horns really set a fantastically dark, evil, and cartoony vibe on this one. Loving it.
