Freeload: Wale f. Peedi Crakk, Black Thought, Tuphace & Young Chris, “Hot Shyt”
- story THE FADER
As much we like to think Twitter is sometimes a way to drive us insane and prepare us for mental slavery, we gotta admit THERE’S A LOTTA HOT SHIT POPPIN OVER THERE. Wale just put this track up from the forthcoming (maybe) Back to the Feature mixtape and it has quite a few Philly underdog favorites and one other dude from Philly on it. Try and guess which one references Pitchfork before you listen. Enjoy and look for it again in about five minutes on FADER Twitter.

Freeload: Peedi Crakk, “More Towels”
- story THE FADER
In 1988, Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock released “It Takes Two,” and the Lehman Brothers financial services firm, having already merged with American Express-backed Shearson, combined with venerable stock brokerage firm EF Hutton to create a company with $3.7 billion in capital, $102 billion in assets under management and 2.9 million active customers, ranking second in the industry behind only Merrill Lynch & Company.
Twenty years later, it’s a wrap for Lehman and Merrill Lynch and Peedi Crakk is screwing down “It Takes Two” to make a song about dirty laundry. What does it all mean? Who knows, but thank god we’re already poor and music is free.

Freeload: P.O.R.N. f. Peedi Peedi, “Rock Wit Me”
- story THE FADER
Continuing the Philly phandom on ye olde blog homestead, here’s a newish joint from Roots Crew associate P.O.R.N., who we’ve been trying to find out more about ever since his guest appearances on Rising Down (not as much of “a grower” as Game Theory, but it holds up pretty well, no?). After repeatedly being thwarted by the fact that duke has the single most Google-unfriendly rap name of all time, we ultimately had to track him down through Black Thought’s Top 8. What the hell! Anyhow, this song goes HOARD, three minutes and 22 seconds of West Philly dynamite that sounds like the bastard child of Kanye’s “Two Words” and a revving NASCAR engine. If it doesn’t get you amped for the rumored Money Making Jam Boyz record, you must not like the rap musics.

We can’t say we’re against the direction The Roots are going in: darker, harder hitting paranoid songs that still aren’t afraid to be a little jokey. That said, putting Peedi Crakk in a video is always a good look, also a good look is having Rik Cordero shoot this and probably like 13 more videos in the last 15 minutes.

If we were nerdier we would write a whole blog post about how awesome it is that this beat changes up like three times within the song, but since we’re totally cool we’re just going to pretend like that isn’t even a draw for us. More importantly Peedi basically gives us a rundown of his entire life in three minutes. It feels like we say this about some awesome rapper like once a week, but where is his album?
