Are we getting lazier or is the web producing more music which keeps our heads nodding and toe’s tapping? Whichever is the case, The Monday’s have been a hit so far, I’ve been seeing a ton of traffic & retweets, so I’m assuming this is something people want to see more of. Three weeks ago we started with 6 tracks and this week I’ve got about 18 for you! Once again, here are tracks keeping our ear’s buzzen which we could have shared with you last week!

Download: The Monday’s Week 26 (Mediafire, 87mb).

Music:

1.) Wu Tang Clan - “Kill Too Hard” (Ft. Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Ace) - We posted a track off Wu-Tang: Chamber Music last Monday & the tunes keep dropping off the project. Grab a legit copy of the album June 30th which couples original Wu-Tang MCs with classic 90s-era New York Rappers. The clan continues to strengthen their brand after half a decade of lackluster releases. (MP3: Download)

2.) Grand Puba - “Same Old Drama” ft. Large Professor - We posted on Puba last Monday as well, but this time he links up with NYC legend Large Pro to create a thought provoking track with some smooth but slightly eery strings looped up. The track comes off his forthcoming solo album Retroactive, dropping on June 23rd. (MP3: Download)

3.) DJ JS-1 - “Clear N’ Present Danger” f. KRS-One & Canibus - A pair of legends go in on this track from DJ JS-1’s upcoming album Ground Original 2: No Sell Out, which drops June 23rd. (MP3: Download)

4.) DJ JS-1 - “Ridiculous” (ft. O.C. & Pharoahe Monch) - Two of the finest and most underated emcee’s to bless a mic, contribute to this track which comes off JS-1’s already hip hop star-studded new release on Fat Beats Records. Intro by Common & Cuts by JS-1. (MP3: Download)

5.) Guilty Simpson - “Feel It” (prod. Style MiSia) - The Stones Throw true goon lays verbs over production via Italian producer Style MiSia. (MP3: Download)

6.) Nas - “Be Worried” (Prod. Swiss Beatz) - Nas & Swiss Beatz collab to drop this gem. Both of em come at this joint with their A-Game.  (MP3: Download)

7.) Krondon - “For A Fee” (Prod. Alchemist) - It has been a long time since Krondon has spurred my interest, however this track is fire. Alchemist hits the boards and as usual proves himself to be one of the premier producers in Hip Hop. This joint comes compliments of Krondon’s upcoming solo project, Let Him Live, which drops July 2nd. (MP3: Download)

8.) Crooked I - “Dear Pac - A Letter to Pac” (Komplex Remix) - June 16th marked what would have been Tupac’s 38th birthday. Producer, Komplex remixed Crooked I’s “Dear Tupac” from last year which was originally over the “Straight Ballin’” beat. This version fits like a glove. (MP3: Download)

9.) Wiz Khalifa & Currensy - “Car Service” - A very fresh track from blog favorite’s Wiz Khalifa & Currensy.  Sunny day? Drop your windows and bump this one. Looking forward to their collaborative mixtape project How Fly dropping next month. (MP3: Download)

As evidenced by me posting this near the end of the day, it just goes to show the power of The Monday’s is certainly insurmountable.  After waking up mid-day and catching up on the day’s news I thought I’d share with you the things I could have shared last week. This is week 25 of 52 of The Monday’s:

Download: The Monday’s Week 25 (Mediafire, 47mb)
update: Since there are so many tracks I slept on this week, I added a ZIP file of them all above, or individually linked after each one.

Music:

1.) Wu Tang Clan - “Ill Figures” ft. Raekwon ft. M.O.P. & Kool G Rap - This track comes compliments of Wu-Tang: Chamber Music dropping June 30th which couples original Wu-Tang MCs with classic 90s-era New York Rappers. I feel the Wu are sharpening their swords these days cause they’ve been on a hot streak of great material between Raekwon, Meth & Red, GZA & Ghostface. (MP3: Download)

2.) Grand Puba - “I See Dead People” ft. Rell & Lord Jamar - Another 90s-era Hip Hop group, Brand Nubian, has been pretty active lately putting together good vibes & tunes. This is Puba second single, off his forthcoming solo album Retroactive, dropping on June 23rd. Also take a look at what Brand Nubian member Sadat X has been up to (here). (MP3: Download)

3.) L.E.G.A.C.Y. - “TKO” ft. Phonte, Chaundon, & Sean Price - L.E.G.A.C.Y. has been stirring up some buzz with his soon to drop album, Suicide Music (June 16th). This track features some of my favorites including Phonte of Little Brother and Sean Price of Boot Camp Clik. (MP3: Download)

4.) Mr. Lif - “The Sun” (CWL RMX) ft. Cassettes Won’t Listen - Casettes Won’t Listen is a Indie Rock & Electronic project created by producer Jason Drake. CWL expects to release an intstrumental album titled, Into the Hillside, June 16th. In anticipation for the LP, CWL put out a free remix EP, (F)remix, featuring an eclectic set of independant artists. via OKP (MP3: Download)

5.) Santigold - “Anne” (King Britt Moody Mix) - King Britt drops the “Moody Mix” of the much remixed Santigold track “Anne.” It’s dark, has a hypnotizing dubstep rhythm, and is perfect for one of those long middle of the night drives back to the suburbs. (MP3: Download)

6.) Sean Bones - “Dancehall”  - This island flavored track from indie-artist Sean Bones is his first single off his debut album, Rings dropping July 21st. (MP3: Download)

7.) Franz Ferdinand - “No You Girls” (Trentemoller remix) - Here’s the remix of the dub-edit. (MP3: Download)

8.) Animal Collective - “Daily Routine” (Phaseone Remix) - St. Louis based Phaseone has been racking up buzzworthy reworks, and this Animal Collective remix is no exception. (MP3: Download)

9.) Anti-Pop Consortium - “Capricorn One” - This group hasn’t dropped a track since 2002, at a time where they enjoyed and lived at the heights of the experimental hip hop scene. This track is frantic from the beats to the lyrics, but has an odd cohesiveness. Their full length album, titled Flourecent Black, is due Oct 13. (MP3: Download)

10.) Thieves Like Us - “Drugs in My Body” (Teenagers Rmx) - A Teenagers remix of the popular indie hit “Drugs in My Body”. It’s sped up, crunchy, & dancefloor ready. (MP3: Download)

The Monday’s… oh how we loath them. The Monday’s are like a bad hangover of the conscious, inevitably reminding you of all you failed to accomplish the previous week. Waking up, staring up at your wobbling ceiling fan, you wonder what’ll motivate you into action, the answer, Tuesday’s.

Being so, to clear our desk and to hold you over in your cubicle,  we’ll be dropping some bulk tracks on Monday’s which we had the good intention posting the previous week. Maybe it’ll become a weekly feature or perhaps we’ll just use it when needed. Nevertheless we got a great batch of hip hop tunes to bring out your inner gangster.

1. Eminem - “Chemical Warfare” (prod. by Alchemist) - It’s not normal for me to post snippets, but this one is fire, you get Em’s whole verse. Listening to this makes you beg for a Alchemist x Eminem project as opposed to the sub-par material we’re getting on the airwaves at the moment.

2. Ghostface Killah - “Forever Dirty” - A grimey love ballad in a way that only Ghost can deliver. The production is fierce.

3. K’naan - “Dayless Night” - Wale dropped this track on his twitter, barrowing the tune from Kid Cudi’s smash hit, K’naan explores the hot topic issue of Somali Pirates.

4. La Coka Nostra - “Choose Your Side” (ft. Bun B) - Remember when all the cool hip hop producers were using Indian samples in their production (circa 2002)? Well this beat easily takes out all of those, and one of my favorites, Bun B, opens up the track with a killer verse.

5. 6th Sense - “Thoughts” - Hmm pulling a Kanye with this one, ill on the boards & with the verbs.
