The other day, I was thinking about the albums that I was excited for this year and Earl’s name came to mind. It made me realize that he has stayed pretty quiet, with the exception of a few features, since he’s been back from Samoa. Today, Earl released this track titled Chum via his Tumblr page. … Continue reading

Dopest Dope: Hit-Boy- Goldie (HS87 Remix) ft. K. Roosevelt & Audio Push
No producer is having a bigger year in 2012 than Hit-Boy.

Dopest Dope: Kendrick Lamar- Art of Peer Pressure
As we patiently wait for good kid, m.A.A.d city to drop on October 22nd, DubCNN leaks this previously unreleased track that could possibly make the album.

Over some real mellow production, … Continue reading
Dopest Dope: J. Cole- I’m a Fool (prod. J. Cole)
During his performance at Rock the Bells about a month ago, Cole debuted this track titled I’m a Fool. Tonight, he decided to let loose the CD quality version. It’s real nice to hear Cole back on the production side of things. Over some jazzy vocal samples, Cole spits some of the best bars I’ve … Continue reading
Dopest Dope: Joey Bada$$- Rejex [Mixtape]
The Audio Dope’s favorite new artist this year, Joey Bada$$, just dropped a new (sort of) project comprised of 14 tracks that didn’t make the cut for his first mixtape 1999. About half of the songs leaked previously to create a buzz before 1999 and are actually some of my favorite Joey tracks up to date (Catharsis, Flow-ers, … Continue reading
Dopest Dope: Talib Kweli- Congregation (ft. Black Thought, Ab-Soul) (prod. J Rhodes)
Well, this is a cool collaboration. Black Thought is such a talented MC that I’m surprised more people don’t feature him on their tracks, and comes in and rips it on the first verse. Ab-Soul is building steam off of his Control System album and Nibiru tracks and delivers some solid bars, but Kweli saves … Continue reading
Dopest Dope: They Ready- J. Cole, Big KRIT, Kendrick Lamar
Yeah I know this song is technically by DJ Khaled but fuck that guy. I mean, if he produced the track I would give him some credit but the most that Khaled did was get these guys together to record and how hard is that? Anyways, this was by far The Audio Dope’s most anticipated … Continue reading

Dopest Dope: Kanye West & Pusha T- New God Flow
Track of the Day: Kanye West & Pusha T- New God Flow This is the Kanye shit I’ve been waiting for. This is a pretty big upgrade from that DJ Khaled track that dropped earlier this week. I got a little skeptical after that one. I’ll let the song do the talking but Kanye and Pusha … Continue reading
