It's a great day for underground rap…which is a nice segue into the #8 reason why 2010 is the best year ever in hip-hop: The Return of the Underground.

Diggy Simmons jumps on yet another classic track from a Queensbridge great. This time it's Nas again on the DJ Premier produced Nas is Like.

Fortunately Diggy keeps doing these songs justice.  If he can get some original material this tight he's going to have a very bright future. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARYQH_Q4fZw Click here to download.  If you missed it, here's how Diggy fared covering Mobb Deep's Shook Ones.... Read more

Lupe Fiasco gets some help from his friends on the I'm Beamin' remix ft Asher Roth, Blu, The Cool Kids, Charles Hamilton, Dosage and B.o.B. There's strength in numbers…

Lupe and his crew have taken on the name All City Chess Club.  It's not a stretch to assume they would not be offended by the term "backpackers."  It's good to see so many facets of hip-hop again.  Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkBXlko3bsU Click here to download.... Read more
