Posts about M.O.P.

This is kinda crazy and out of no where. I like it. Damon Dash, the co-founder of Roc-A-Fella, has formed a new record label to release a rap/rock album with The Black Keys providing the rock while a bunch of rappers provide the rap.

We’re talking about artists like Mos Def, Jim Jones, Q-Tip, Ludacris, Raekwon, RZA, Billy Danze of M.O.P., Pharoahe Monch, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, and more. Together they will release an album called Blak Roc this Thanksgiving.

Here is the official trailer and the first track, “Hoochie Coo,” featuring Jim Jones and Mos Def.

Peter Rosenburg hangs out backstage at Rock The Bells DC with the likes of The Alchemist, Slaughterhouse, Tech N9ne, Grap Luva, Raekwon, Talib Kweli, Evidence, Nikki Jean, M.O.P., Elzhi and Uncle Q.

Nowadays with a lot of great artists being independent, and with the sheer amount of album releases, it’s easy to let an album slip by without knowing it has been released. So we at StreetHop.com have decided to launch a new weekly feature called “New Album Tuesday” listing all the notable Hip-Hop albums being released that day.

So here is the first edition for June 30th 2009. This week is a good week for New York with the major releases coming from Maino and Wu Tang as well as an album from M.O.P. that I didn’t even know was coming out (see how good this idea is?). The west coast holds it down with a joint album from Bizzy Bone of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Bad Azz from DPG as well as the sophomore album from Tash of Tha Alkaholiks.

Ace Hood – Ruthless
Bizzy Bone & Bad Azz – Thug Pound
Cage – Depart from Me
DJ Khaled – Live from the 305
M.O.P – Foundation
Maino – If Tomorrow Comes…
Tash (from Tha Liks) – Control Freek
The Kid Daytona – Come Fly With Me
Wu-Tang – Chamber Music
