Wax dropped a video this week from his upcoming project Eviction Notice which is set to drop November 28th. Check out the video for “Too Loud” produced by EOM, it was directed by Casey Chan.

2.) KRS-One – Just Like That

It’s been a real long time coming but KRS-One is about to drop his twentieth album in 2012. The video for “Just Like That” is surely a good taste for what he has in store.

3.) Final Outlaw ft. Homeboy Sandman – Outlaw

Inspired by the X-Men character comes the joint “Onslaught” by Final Outlaw featuring the Homeboy Sandman. If you guys used to read comics and know the story of the character you’ll understand the song, kind of an internal battle with yourself.

Download: Kyle Rapps – On Air

Here’s the long awaited On Air mixtape by Kyle Rapps with features from the likes of KRS-One, Homeboy Sandman, C-Rayz Walz and Talib Kweli. Download above.

Immortal Technique — best known for his controversial and politically-charged brand of rap — unveiled a trailer for an upcoming documentary about his life and his music this week.

“Immortal Technique emerged from prison a changed man,” reads the description of the video posted on YouTube on August 22. “As his inner journey continues he travels the world promoting a revolution of consciousness through hip-hop.”

Focusing on his life after he served a short prison sentence for assault-related charges in the late 1990s, the biopic features a number of notable guest appearances and insight from fellow musicians, actors and other influential figures. Those slated to appear in the “Dance With The Devil” rapper’s documentary includes Ice-T, Woody Harrelson, Chuck D, KRS-One and more.

The film remains without a release date as of now. Watch the trailer for Immortal Technique’s “The [R]evolution of Immortal Technique” below.

Kyle Rapps ft. KRS-One & Homeboy Sandman – Love Love 2 (Air Redux)

The third single from the mixtape On Air dropping August 29th “Love Love 2″ follows in the footsteps of “Love Love” and re-enlists the efforts of KRS-One and Homeboy Sandman. They all drop unique talent atop Nate G.’s triumphant synth chops and “love” vocal samples.

KRS-One & Showbiz – Godsville

Rating: $16.99 / 20.00

With Showbiz only semi-providing a potent production punch (that also does not very much mirror his older, classic work), KRS is left to try and guide this monumental collab effort. Kris does the best he can, but doesn’t deliver a classic or even highly-memorable lyrical record by any means, but rather a lot more of his usual song and dance, respectfully. The chemistry “Godsville” lacks lingers a good while, too. Don’t despair, there’s several really bumpable jams, but after you grab that handful, you’ll be tempted to trash the rest.

Saigon – The Greatest Story Never Told

Rating: $17.50 / 20.00

The much, much, much awaited street scholar finally drops his debut and it’s a solid effort…for the most part. Amazingly, Sai does muster 11 initial tracks that are all undeniably dope. First half of The Greatest Story Never Told will definitely have your itchy “it’s a classic” finger ready, but alas, Giddy nor his main collaborator, Just Blaze, could keep things on track for the back half of the LP, where things falter noticeably. Oh so close, but no cigar.

In any case however, this album will be a pretty strong cop if for nothing else than the production value and the fact that it really feels like a real hip-hop album at 18 cuts deep with a focused direction that almost lasts. If it weren’t for Giddy’s wayward forays into swooning the chicks he would of garnered a perfect Andrew Jackson from me.

Verbal Kent – Save Yourself

Rating: $17.99 / 20.00

This album will be one of the most reliable underground picks of 2011 thus far. Chicago MC, Verbal Kent, puts his best foot forward for his sixth LP release, Save Yourself, which harbors all the general tell tale signs of an underground banger; dope beats, precise, well-delivered rhymes and some ‘90s legends poppin’ through to assist our main protagonist. Holding his own alongside names like Masta Ace, Sadat X and Pete Rock, Verbal Kent makes an awfully strong case that he may be ready for even further collaborations of similar weighty nature. I’d have to agree.

Lewis Parker – The Puzzle: Episode 1

Rating: $17.75 / 20.00

Fresh off a stunning collab record with John Robinson, the UK born- and- bred (and now NYC residing) producer/MC, Lewis Parker, has unleashed a brand new record that will heavily cater to the record diggin’, vinyl fanatics and should honestly reel in a lot of you hip-hop purists. Utilizing his trusty SP-1200 and what I’m sure was a good deal of dusty crates, Lewis crafts one beat break blessed track after another and rhymes over all of them. A real show of skill from all angles really. The Puzzle: Episode 1 probably won’t start a riot in terms of widespread acclaim, but I assure you this is a great record.

Kooley High – Eastern Standard Time

Rating: $18.00 / 20.00

This band of former N.C. State University students turned subterranean hip-hop standouts had been dazzling folks for some time with their work on the mixtape circuit and with some of the solo members’ solo releases on the side, but the question was: Could they make a dope record together? The answer is yes, as their first studio LP, Eastern Standard Time, is also another one of the underground’s best of 2011 two months into the year. Driven by interesting and innately boom bap production at it’s core, each group member develops nicely along the ride. Maybe none more than the lone femcee, Rapsody, who captivates literally every time she makes a sound. It’s a good debut, and they still have a good deal to grow…I can’t wait to hear more.

Greenie, an MC which Blastmaster has been working with since near the beginning of the year, has a somewhat comical tale to tell throughout the record. According to information on the website, Greenie grew up suffering from an intense stuttering problem that stopped him from communicating with others. After overcoming that problem, he begin a career in public speaking and eventually began rapping and recording.

The 50,000th person to download Greenie’s album — which features production from KRS — will win the prize of $50,000.

The album can be purchased, and more information can be found from the (misleading) website KrsOneAlbum.com.

Eternia debuted Catch Me from her upcoming album with MoSS At Last while opening for KRS-One (who makes an appearance with beatboxer Chesney Snow) in Brooklyn last weekend.

KRS-ONE & BUCKSHOT debut the video for their title track, “SURVIVAL SKILLS,” directed by Todd Angkasuwan. Follow the two legends through a maze of obstacles as they show what it takes to sustain longevity.
