MP3: Medina Green
Haven't really come across Mos Def's little brother DCQ in quite some time, probably not since the "Crosstown Beef" record blew up the entirety of 1999. But Medina Green is back and Mos and his bro are gladly welcomed back (the same can't be said for your boy Mase of course). While you can easily go over to Cocaine Blunts, Soul Sides, Sam Chennault and some other fantastic hip-hop blogs linked in the sidebar to get unmatched hip-hop knowledge, it seems the downtempo gods (or someone at Studio Distribution) hooked me up with an advanced copy of the newest Medina Green release U Know the Flex Mix Tape Vol.1. The mix has some previously released stuff like the aformentioned "Crosstown Beef" and "Niggas Know" from Mos Def's "Summertime" 12" so I decided to post 2 other tracks. "Beef" features Mos Def freestyling his intepretation of the ambiguously defined term while "Slow and Tender" keeps the steak theme going with a nice sustained Fender Rhodes melody under a DCQ's tightly wound verses.
