In preparation for his first album in four years, Torae exemplifies what it means to be a MC on “Get Down.” Shot at New York’s esteemed SOB’s, the Pete Rock produced “Get Down” acts as a visual homage to the seemingly disappearing art of rhyming and with cameos from Talib Kweli, Skyzoo, and others, Torae’s spot as one of Hip-Hop’s more prolific rhymers is that much more solidified. “Entitled” is set to drop 1/15/16. Gotta get up to get down.

In spite of finally dropping his long-awaited PTSD album, Pharoahe keeps the new music coming for Record Store Day. “Get Down” features scratches from DJ Revolution and finds Monch delivering an authoritative verse over a soulful beat. The song will also be included on Coalmine Records’ upcoming Unearthed compilation album.
