Vybz Kartel - Pass mi Gun

From the feuding last week between Mavado and Vybz Kartel

On the funeral ceremony (thankfully not fitting) riddim:



Quite a nice little intro talking about the struggles in the middle east

the middle east - blood

mmmmmm

It's like Iron and wine got into a nice warm bed with Grizzly Bear's more serene moments and just cuddled for hours

nice album cover too:



vis Muzzle of bees

Just in time for christmas..

..Mavado and Vybz Kartel put an end to their feud and make up on stage





But now what about Bounty Killer?

8Ball & MJG f. Lil Boosie, “Ten Toes Down” (Remix)

I've loved this guy since I saw/heard this:



There is a 9 min intro poem at the start this track on his mixtape: 8Ball Memphis All Stars: Cars, Clubs & Strip Clubs

I also love him because he looks a bit like Prop Joe from the Wire

No Gully

Kid CuDi - cudderisback
