The borough known as Brooklyn has always been serious when it comes to grade-A lyricism. On "Past the Basic", Nexx Level Click unite some of BK's sharpest MCs to bless the mic. An obscure gem and one hell of a posse cut dropped on this short-lived indie rap label of the 90's, ran by Smoothe, Trigger and D.R. Period.
With a gutter sound like none other, D.I.T.C. remain true to their sound and vision while pushing each forward with refreshing new elements. Let your head nod to the Hip Hop of this collective who are known for keeping their fingers dusty as they present a view of the ghetto. "DITC Studios Vol. 2" brings together some of NYC's sharpest lyricists and experienced crate excavators.

New mixtape from Papoose x DJ Kay Slay "Back 2 The Streets" available now exclusively on DatPiff! “Back 2 The Streets” features brand new music by Pap while “aunleashed Beast” presents some of his best mixtape freestyles.
Feel the rush of a lyrical narcotic as these great MCs offer a posse cut to leave you addicted to the rhyme. Canibus, Kool G Rap, Papoose, UniqMe and Justin Tyme step in the booth lyrically equipped with firearms on "Iron Bars". French producer Astronote delivers the drama for each MC to get busy on a track designed to pump your adrenaline like drugs.
Back to back throwin headcracks, Brookyln's own Papoose puts his money where his mouth is as an MC who is out to win it all in the game of rhyme. Witness the rapid fire flow of this leading lyricist as he takes it to the The Bank on 2 remixes by talent from Beatstars.com. From raw sample-based head-nod, the bounce of a dark Trap vibe and the adrenaline rush of heavy drumming matched to Pap's frantic flow, each style of production presents an atmosphere to define the voice of this MC who challenges the art of lyricism.
Even during his introduction to the game, Papoose was nice on the mic and shines as 1/4th of the Murder Inc. Crew of Big Flip, Kool G Rap and Tony Montana. This 1999 freestyle session on Pete Rock & Marley Marl's Future Flavas shows the potential of this NY super crew and what could have been had they put out a group album. The sinister beat you hear which each MC flows upon is most likely produced by Marley Marl from it's sound reminiscent of Real Live's debut album and provides the right dose of aggression to support each MC's deadly microphone assault.
Enjoy this gem from the tape deck archives and stream "You Can't Stop Destiny" by Papoose below featuring DJ Premier, Havoc, Ron Browz, Troy Ave, Remy Ma and more. Available on CD here at Undergroundhiphop.com and Amazon.com digital download.
"For the long awaited 2013 debut album from Papoose, entitled The Nacirema dream, I produced from concept, the artwork and packaging along with promotional materials for the release. Using the theme of 'Nacirema' which is AMERICA spelt backwards, I came up with the idea of the flag painted across the artists face. I wanted to give the feel of a revolutionary speaking out against the wrong doings of his country" - Sam Huggins
