Featuring samples from “Love on a Two-Way Street” by The Moments, Empire State of Mind is both anthem and loveletter from the king of hip-hop himself.

OB4CL Pt II set for a September 8th release coming 14 whole years after the original Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… And as you already know this album was originally suppose to drop via Aftermath, but being an Aftermath artist not named Eminem or 50 Cent you should know by now that your album is never coming out. But today we have the first leaked Dre produced track from this soon to be classic.

John caught up with Pharoahe Monch at the press day for the BK Hip-Hop festival for EOW, and he talked about being a part of this incredible event (that keeps getting better EVERY year, btw). He also talked about his touring experiences and bringing hip-hop overseas, as well as Eminem and Nas as influences in his writing process. He also reveals the possibility of doing a song with Nas. That would be fucking bonkers.
