I heard the sad news yesterday, however it wasn’t confirmed until today. But Jimmy Castor of ‘The Jimmy Castor Bunch’ sadly passed away yesterday at the age of 64. The culture of hip-hop wouldn’t have been the same if it wasn’t for his 1972 single ‘It’s Just Begun’ which has inspired generations of b-boys, and has been sampled more times than I can count.
R.I.P to a true pioneer…

Ab-Soul – Black Lip Bastard0
Posted In Leaks
Not ones to mess around, the TDE camp go straight back in with a new track from Ab-Soul after releasing my favourite album of the year so far (I know it’s early days) at the weekend. Looks like a new project from Ab is up next…
Although I’ve never really been able to get into Das Racist, I couldn’t pass on this solo tape from Heems due to the fact that it contains the third collab from Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire and Danny Brown, and I really need to hear a full project from those two sometime in the future!
The tape isn’t too bad in all, and sounds like something that could definitely get a few spins. The project is entirely produced by Mike Finito and features the likes of Despot, Action Bronson, Childish Gambino and Kool AD (as well as the aforementioned.)
Check out ‘You Have To Ride The Wave’ (feat. Danny Brown & Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire) here, then hit the jump for the full tape and tracklist…

HipHopFiend Interview: Chuuwee & Sundown – The Millennium Falcon0
Posted In Interviews,Uncategorized
Say what you want about this social media age, but without it we’d never have two completely unrelated emcees from opposite sides of the US teaming up to make collaborative albums about Star Wars… And given how great Chuuwee and Sundown’s new collaborative record The Millennium Falcon is, that would be a real shame!
Back in the middle of last year when Sundown (of Actual Proof, part of 9th Wonder’s Jamla family) told me about the project, I hadn’t listened as extensively to Sacramento rhymer, Chuuwee’s, back catalogue as I have now, but I had listened to his Hot N Ready album with Lee Bannon enough to know that something exciting was on the horizon.
Last September when Chuuwee was over in North Carolina visiting Sundown, for the first time, to wrap up (and it turns out, re-record most of) the project, I was able to Skype in to catch up with them about what they’d been working on, and to listen to the album in full, talking through the tracks one by one: gaining an insight into the making of an excellent new project, that people really aren’t anticipating enough in my opinion!
