The new single from Nasser Ali Goins, a.k.a. Coin$, called “Throwback,” features the legendary Black Thought of The Roots. With a sinister old-school beat, Coin$ storms the lyrical, and gets hard. Black Thought adds his customary meshing of suave authoritatively tight rhymes. Produced by Mizzy Beatz, the song gears into an intense, heavy, serious vibe, while still capturing a tone that locks you in. And a Jay-Z sample on the chorus makes a solid suggestion to “check out the technique.”

The STS-RJD2 collaboration has resulted in an album of excellent hip hop. Now, with “Mad Men Jam Boys,” STS has spun the classic RJD2 Mad Men theme song, “Beautiful Mind.” Produced by The Wurxs for their new project, Wurxs of Art, the song builds off that dramatic orchestration, enlisting the help of fellow Philly emcees Black Thought and Truck North. This heavy-hitting relay race of a track has anchors from start to finish.
