Raekwon f. Cappadonna & Ghostface, “10 Bricks” MP3
- story Peter Macia
A month or so ago, Raekwon came to the office to play a few clips off OB4CL2 and ended up staying for two hours, asking for some produce then mashing more fruit than a blender on South Beach, all the while giving the most fascinating running commentary on almost every track on the album. If there was a way for him to sell that experience, maybe as a book tour type thing at select comic book stores, we’d pay $100 a ticket. Unfortunately, he probably won’t. But we promise you this Dilla relic channeling classic Wu-bangers and topping his own previously leaked OB4CL2 track “House of Flying Daggers” is just the tip of the iceberg.

Audio: Busta Rhymes & Mick Boogie, “Step Up”
- story THE FADER
“Step Up” is one of the many unreleased J Dilla collaborations Busta Rhymes unearthed for his Dillagence mixtape with Mick Boogie, and, aside from being a good song on its own, it provides plenty to nerd out over. Busta interpolates Greg Nice’s verse from Gang Starr’s “DWYCK” (cue: FADER…FADER…FADER…FADER) while Dilla cuts the same sample as Gang Starr’s “Step in the Arena” for the chorus. Step in the Arena, Nice & Smooth’s Ain’t a Damn Thing Changed and Busta’s debut with Leaders of the New School all came out in 1991 when Dilla was 17 and making beats on tapedecks.
