Part 1 of my weekly Saturday who is SAVING Hip-Hop, I will try to do this weekly.


Ever since I seen him double fist 2 champagne bottles on that yacht video with UGK and Jay-Z, in that classic track, then proceed to splash the video vixens up. He has been on my radar.

We all know one side of the story (Jay-Z's side) on what happened at Rocafella. Jay-Z has also been putting out music for what 3-4 years now, since coming out of retirement, BUT has he saved, or TRIED to save NY hip-hop. IMO he hasn't.

In the video's below, you can see that behind the scenes Dame is grindin and tryna get some of the biggest 90's/00's NY names, to do collabs. RZA, Mos Def, Raekwon, Jim Jones, Pharoah Monch, Billy Danze and others. The album was recorded in 11 days. These videos are a must watch! Introducing The Black Roc Project! Below the videos are a few MP3 downloads released, and yes Brooklyn, they go HARD! (Kalik edit - Dame is also responsible for Center Edge Territory (the collab group Curren$y, Jay Electronica & Mos Def I mentioned earlier)
