Audio: Stereotyp ft. Los Rakas - Cuanado Hay Guerrapella

Austrian aggro-dancehall producers Stereotyp linked up with Panamanian-via-Bay Area duo Los Rakas for this obviously borderless and almost genreless jam—replete with crickets, car alarms, heavy bass and barking dogs—whose ultimate destination we don’t quite know. What we do know is that we will be playing it a lot at our Oktoberfest Passa Passa.

I've always been a fan of Spanish rap groups like Calle 13 and Control Machete, even though I don't have a clue what they're saying, so I had to post this up.

The man sometimes referred to as “The Urban Gentleman” has previously worked with Raekwon (”Ice Water”) and Obie Trice (”Wanna Know”), but it’s with Cudi’s project that Emile is truly making a name for himself. After producing the majority of the A Kid Named Cudi mixtape with Plain Pat, Emile shifted his focus to work on Cudi’s studio album. (The trio have since started their own indie label, Dream On.) On Man On The Moon, Emile’s touch is apparent from start to finish—he produced “In My Dreams (Cudder Anthem),” “Soundtrack 2 My Life,” Solo Dolo (Nightmare),” and “CuDi Zone.” In this exclusive interview, Emile breaks down how each track came to fruition, and also talks about the first night he met Cudi…

Interview with Termanology by The Smoking Section

Wordplay, complex deliveries and unpredictable rhyme patterns. All qualities least likely to be heard in today’s rap music but Termanology, the Boston bred cipher titleholder, keeps it true to original form with his stylistic branding of verbal skills. Ready to take fans back to the glory days while keeping one foot in the present door with his latest LP, Time Machine: Hood Politics VI, Term put his flashback on hold for a quick 15 to sit with TSS Crew’s TC to discuss his freshly minted banger and why he’ll never dumb it down even if means staying below the radar.
