Western Tink- Practice Lookin' Hard Jr. (feat. Shady Blaze)

Alright people, my faithful readers, I'm personally ready to bestow this song on you guys. Its a hell of find, but you can't expect anything less here at RTS. This is it, my reward to those of you who really, for real read this page.

Dizzee Rascal- Hype! (feat. D Double E & Footsie)

Here's one for those of you who don't mind gettin a li'ul grimy once in a while. Dizzee and his crew go in on this minamlist beat straight out of some UK pirate radio. It's actually from their poorly tie'ulled mixtape DirteeTV.com: The Mixtape.

Killer Mike- Big Beast (feat. T.I., Bun B & Trouble) (prod. El-P)

Although I'm a little scared of Killer Mike "Whadadadang!" shouts, this collaboration worked out nicely. Props to El-P for finally linking up with some southern MC's.

Pill- Yeen Gon Believe

Here's a decent cut from site-regular Pill. His mixtape The Epidemic is out now; and its good.

Squadda B- Leave The Tags On 2k12 + Van Halen

Here's two cuts off Squadda B's street tape Back Sellin' Crack. They're both featuring Green Ova vets MondreM.A.N and Shady Blaze, and each comes through in his own special way. But like with most music Squadda's hand graces, the instrumentation far outshines the lyrical content (which is at some times arguably laughable). But these go hard and show another side to the typically spaced out, cloud pioneer Sqaudda Bambino.

Chip Tha Ripper- Out Here

Ryan Leslie- The Making of 5 "Minute Freshen Up"

The dudes fresh. Seasoned Vet.

Peep his last video too:

Fuck SOPA!

Fuck SOPA. RTS is proud to bring you 100% illegal art straight to your hardrive. We're joining today's fight

MondreM.A.N- Since 1991 + M.A.N's Life

I can't get over how hard Main Attrakionz are killing the game right now. From their tape 808's And Dark Grapes II to Squadda's I Smoke Because I Don't Care About Death to Mondre's Dope Since 1991 to The Shady Bambino Project, these guys know what's good. Squadda's got a new tape out that I'll post a blurb about tomorrow and here's an absolutely amazing solo track from MondreM.A.N; make sure you listen to both songs, they share a video but are two separate cuts.

Trouble- Bussin'

"They all bussin' for Trouble, Trouble." Here's a street grind you should considering getting on. Trap rapper Trouble's mixtape December 17th is a solid listen, including this select that's a harder version of Waka's "Fuck The Club Up."

Rick Ross- MMG Untouchable **200th POST!!!**

For the official 200th post here on Respect The Selects, I've decided to go large. This cut is the highlight of Ross' strong mixtape Rich Forever which forgoes a meaningful statement in favor of a expose of the life of one of America's most flamboyant celebrities. Rozay spits real raw in this one, crafting an image of the ideal life I sometimes wonder if he even lives up to. Regardless, it makes for some good music, and his ear (edit: or wallet) for beats remains one of best in the business.

Zilla Rocca- Full Spectrum (feat. Has-Lo)

This song just does it for me. The retro, grainy video captures a moment of late summer bliss memorialized through the introspective and personal raps from some underground heads. Zilla Rocca has been steady grinding on the scene for a while, and so has the featured guy Has-Lo. Both are worth some looking into if you like genuine, original hip hop unspoiled by fame or jaded by the dollar.
