Savior Self is a compilation featuring Cas One, Sadistik, Alexipharmic and Eyedea. Click below to listen to Savior Self:

One of the big things I love about the current evolution of the hip-hop industry and business model is the new way tracks are released to the public. In preparation for their albums, both mainstream and underground hip-hop artists leak multiple songs to the blogs and websites. It is a great way to preview an album and to get free music. The tracks below are some of my favorite songs and quotables through June, 2010. Most are available for FREE download, and many have the lyrics posted:
- Reflection Eternal City Playgrounds
- The Roots Dear God 2.0
- B. Dolan Earthmovers
- Sage Francis Best of Times
- Bohemian Rap CD Mama Mia
- Dark Time Sunshine Primor
- Everliven Sound Crack and The Electric Chair
- ScholarMan Hood Stories Vol. 4
- Kats Rich Dad Poor Dad
- Random & DN3 The Won Too
- Oddisee NYC Remix
- Luckyiam TV In The Afternoon
- Core Rhythm King
- Debaser Don’t Sleep
- Little Brother Curtain Call

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.
