LXIV

By Scott Reid | 7 October 2009

In celebration of another year’s worth of great Dilla-related releases, and Raekwon in general (Cuban Linx 2, bonus tracks, mixtape exclusives, guestspots, it’s almost all quality, as evidenced many times over here), at times even both at once, I give you CMG podcast no. 64. Also featured: a bunch of shit related to Dilla and the Chef (another standout from DOOM’s Born Like This, Finale’s aptly titled “Heat,” Meth & Redman’s best track since “Da Rockwilder,” a Q-Tip remix from way earlier this year), more of the year’s best hip-hop, and two tremendous instrumentals from Mulatu Astatke/the Heliocentrics and Lee Fields’ band, the Expressions.
