First up though, a relatively chunky dose of Bonus Beats from around the web.
Bonus Beats
Gary Suarez
The homey Gary Suarez over at CABBAGES interviewed Def Jux/Weathermen rapper Yak Ballz about his recent EP Young Yashar.
I don't know if this means a new album is on the horizon, but Shabazz Palaces released an animated short film called “Time Knows Me”.
OG Nick Marsh sat down with Anwar Highsign for the Focus Hip Hop podcast to talk about his latest project with Dr. Quandry as The Fortunate Ones, RESIN.
John Wells just recorded a live, deluxe edition of Whole World Burnin' Down and you can stream it everywhere, or watch the whole thing up above.
Closed Sessions has a sale through Sunday, get 20% off everything in their catalog on Bandcamp with the code bandcampflash. Check out a few of my recommendations above.
