Its official.. 2011 is the Year of the Female MC. Without even getting into the debate over the artistic validity of a Nikci Minaj, there are at least a couple projects surfacing that indicate she should be the least of a lot of people's worries.. Enter Rapsody and Keziah: Two sistas with projects out that shit on 95% of what's out there..
Hezekiah's sister proves talent runs in the family with her self-titled EP.. Available for free download via Bandcamp..
9th Wonder affiliate, Rapsody boasts tight flow over smooth production on the mixtape, Replay.
Both projects are available for free download so the only reason you wouldn't grab these up is pure ignorance or hate. Don't be one of those people.

From the producer who brought you Mos Dub, Jaydiohead, and Double-Check Your Head... More Mash-up madness from Max Tannone (@MaxTannone) with the arrival of Dub Kweli.. A combination of classic Dub Reggae and the lyrics of Black Star's Talib Kweli.
Bandcamp (@bandcamp) is not just an indie artists' dream-come-true for putting out material and gaining a following. Its also a great place for fans to discover new music from artists they might otherwise never come across. I found four projects in particular, while browsing on bandcamp that I thought might be worth sharing..

This album might've been the only that kept me sane during my stint as an incarcerated teen...and undoubtedly one of the most slept on in Hip-Hop period. I always loved the way Shyheim was able to express the struggle of a young black man growing up in the hood in a way we can all relate to. Here it is for yall courtesy of HQHipHop

One of my favorite blogs for trip-hop, 'Indoor Music' recently posted an album I had been trying to get a hold of for years. When I was about 16, I remember my sister returning from New York City telling me about a band she saw perform that she said I needed to hear. She played me Moonraker's Nada Brama and I thought it was some of the most unique and innovative music I had ever heard (before I had ever learned of Portishead and other bands). Definitely a must have and extremely hard to find.
1. Shalom
2. Night with you
3. Organic love
4. The rescue
5. Madeline
6. Drying sun
7. These walls
8. Wood & stone
9. Modern way
Download (via IndoorMusic) ..you know you love me..

So this is pretty interesting right here.. A 5 minute mixtape.. And talk about eclectic, this project places my music alongside Cassie, Das Racist, and Big Boi. Dope idea though and shoutout to Tito and Talib over at Emerson.
