PRhyme (DJ Premier, Royce da 5'9″) Talk Battle Rap, Joe Budden, Jay Electronica + More
http://www.hardknock.tv Exclusive in-depth interview with PRhyme (DJ Premier, Royce da 5'9″). Part 3 starts with Nick Huff Barili talking to Royce about how he changed his perspective on life. "I felt like there was a dark cloud over my head for a long time. So when I was rapping about death, I was just rhyming about things that were imminent.
Stuff that was happening around that time, it was just a dark time for me." Nickel who has been two years sober states "The kind of dark place that I was in, I think lengthy periods of time in that kinda place, you know, I'd end up in one of two places. For me to make it out of that and not have done serious jail time and to still be living is a blessing."
As the conversation moves along, DJ Premier and Royce talk about Hip Hop growing up and expectations for great artists. Royce also talks about a line from PRhyme's song Courtesy, where he says that he wants to step into the Battle Rap ring. Royce and Premo share their thoughts on Joe Budden Vs Hollow Da Don, Fight Klub, what it takes to be a battle rapper, and why most battle rappers don't have successful albums. The interview ends with Premo and Nickel sharing their thoughts on favorite tracks on the upcoming PRhyme album including tracks with Jay Electronica and Common.

Ibeyi | Better In Tune With The Infinite | Jay Electronica cover
Late last month, French-Cuban sisters Ibeyi played one of their very first UK live appearances with a set at Rough Trade West. The twins went behind the counter, beyond the vinyl shelves to perform a handful of songs, and their set closed with an eerie cover of ‘Better In Tune With The Infinite’ by Jay Electronica.
Now a live recording has emerged of the track being played at Residence La Revolution, all booming piano notes and inventive percussion. The original song is taken from Jay’s ‘Act II: Patents of Nobility (the Turn)’ album.
Ibeyi’s previous output has included ‘River’, ‘Oya‘ and ‘Mama Says’, with a Richard Russell-produced debut album slated for an early 2015 release on XL Recordings.
Watch Ibeyi's Cover of Jay Electronica's 'Better In Tune With The Infinite', recorded live at Residence La Revolution, July 2014.
