Seeing as how I've got some spare bandwidth leftover after yesterday's mp3 blowout, I decided to roundup some of the latest material from one of my favorite emcees out right now, Philly's Reef the Lost Cauze. Shoutout to Benja Styles, J-Ronin and Coalmine Records for the following promos:
This song, from Bekay's upcoming Hunger Pains Remix EP, takes it back to the 90's with turntable scratches and vocal samples from Big L and a pre-Def Jux Cage. Reef drops one of the more memorable boasts with the line, "Lucifer was cast from heaven when he questioned me!"
Dark Forces is off of DJ Phillie Blunt's relatively new mixtape Tor'cha, released in conjunction with the Todd Craig novel of the same name. Those of you paying close attention will note that the hook ("Lord forgive him, he got the dark forces in him...") is the second reference Reef makes to Lucifer in as many songs. I'll leave it up to someone else to translate what I assume is a verse from the Quran at the opening of the track.
