This is a nice little montage consisting of new tracks and show footage from Zion I and The Grouch’s Colorado tour. Apparently, they are working on a collaboration album.

Big ups to the cats at Backwoodz Studios for sending this over. The Super Chron Flight Brothers have impressed me with everything they’ve ever dropped, including “Emergency Rations” and their FREE mixtapes “Indonesia” and “Deleted Scenes.” Strangers With Candy is a new track from their upcoming album “CAPE VERDE” – a concept album about a day in front of the television.

Rabbi Darkside is a local NYC hip-hop artist who has really impressed me this year with his “Darkside of 2009” mixtape and new collaboration album with Hired Gun and Zajazza called “Skillz To Take Brazil” – which I finally got around to checking out this weekend. Thank Hip Hop is a new track he put together in response to recent attacks on hip-hop based educational programs. The track below is the original, produced by Lotus, but the download includes a couple versions of the track – included one dope remix featuring a bunch of local cats, such as Mista Mayday, Hired Gun, Angel D, Appl Juic, Farbeon, Rabbi D, Doron Lev, Dyalekt & Caits Meissner.

Visual is an underground hip-hop artist out of Chicago who makes that feel-good music. His albums “Figured It Out” and “Working Class Legend” are two nice examples. Now Visual is back with “Never Sold Crack” a FREE mixtape mixed by DJ ASIATIC that is definitely worth the download. Click below to listen to download Visual’s “Never Sold Crack” for FREE:
