M-Phazes “Another Classic (Remix)” Makes Me Want to Punch a Kitten in the Face (Listen)

Posted by Nathan S. on 02/09/12 | Filed under Torae, M-Phazes

"Another Classic" finds producer M-Phazes, who was last on our pages doing beat work for Emilio's new album, layering a brass section over his signature claps for a beat that's a chiropractor's worst dream. From there it's emcees Burke, the always rock solid Torae and Side Effect throwing down rhymes (and Fogo de Chao references). Listen and download...

Hang Your Head in Shame “Nellyville” Fans, Torae’s “Real Talk” is Here (Listen)

Posted by Nathan S. on 01/10/12 | Filed under Torae

Torae's "For the Record" got plenty of mentions as one of the most slept on albums of 2011, which is great, but I've got a better idea. How about everyone just wakes the fuck up and recognizes that the NYC emcee is making some of the dopest, most straight up, rawest, I can rap better than you hip-hop out there right now. Listen.....

“For the Record”, Torae’s New Album is F**king Ridiculous (Album Listen & Buy)

Posted by Nathan S. on 11/02/11 | Filed under Torae

I love when rappers do my work for me. I could go on and on about how Torae's "For the Record" is already lining up to be one of the best NYC rap albums of the year, breakdown how it's a return to completely uncompromising hip-hop....or you could just press play on "You Ready" below. If you don't think that shit's dope, you and I are no longer friends. It's really that simple.

Torae & Pete Rock Sling “That Raw” Hip-Hop (Listen)

Posted by Nathan S. on 10/10/11 | Filed under Pete Rock, Torae

Perhaps best known for his work with Marco Polo (yep, we're getting into some rap nerd territory), Torae's one of those small handful of New York City emcees that have continued to refuse anything they didn't absolutely believe in. So while you'll probably never hear his name ringing out on BET, Torae can be trusted to only deliver "That Raw". Listen and download...

Posted by Nathan S. on 09/30/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Skyzoo, Torae

I know this one's been out for a couple days, which in hip-hop blog time might as well be 57 years, but I somehow managed to miss Skyzoo's dope new collab banger with Torae "Barrel Brothers" the first time around, so just in case there were some other folks out there who were also caught napping through the blast, here we go...

Skyzoo x Torae x Sean Price “Duck Down” (One Shot Video)

Posted by Nathan S. on 01/15/10 | Filed under Videos, Skyzoo, Sean Price, Torae

The latest masterpiece in Court Dunn's ongoing One Shot video series, "Duck Down" takes three of the game's heaviest heavyweight emcees, Skyzoo, Torae and Sean Price (Sean P!) for a banger that's part street anthem, part ode to ill record label Duck Down Records. With three rappers this dope, all you need is one shot. See more...
