Hustle Simmons (Dave Ghetto & Tha S Ence)
Hustle Simmons
Camden, NJ veteran Dave Ghetto teams up with up coming producer Tha S Ence to form Hustle Simmons. But not only is it a concept with a clever name but the mentality in approaching this album is a hustle. Putting the album together by themselves and debuting it digitally before they press up hard copies is a new hustle in itself. The album is strictly produced by The S Ence with lyrically appearance’s by some new cats and some Philly veterans such as 84 and long time collaborator Fel Sweetenberg from Dave Ghetto’s initial group the Nuthouse.
Evacuate feat. Almighty (MAGr)
Produced by: Tha S’ence

Snowgoons
Black Snow
So I’m sure your asking yourselves “Aren’t these guys from Germany?” Well yes. But over 75% of the album features all Philly metro area artists so why wouldn’t it be featured here? The Snowgoons drop their sophomore album featuring cold rhymes with horror filled beats that feature such artists as: Reef The Lost Cauze, Viro The Virus, OuterSpace, Side Effect, King Magnetic, Equinox, Apathy, R.A. The Rugged Man, & a slew of top quality artists. Pick up the album and look forward to the winter snow coming soon.
Starlight feat. Viro The Virus
Produced by: Snowgoons

Fel Sweetenberg
Sweets’ Day Off
I’m not sure if this is the first Philly producer instrumental album or not. Regardless, it must have been a while since one dropped. Break Bread Projects presents Sweets’ Days Off by one of Camden’s longest running hip hop artists; Fel Sweetenberg. Expect to keep the head nodding or the pen writing while pumping this through the speakers.
The Chosen
Produced by: Fel Sweetenberg

84
Ourselves
The album is a re-release of an album released a few years ago in spirit of the B-Boy BBQ and couldn’t of come at a better time. The B-Boy BBQ is on a little hiatus and didn’t happen this past June. Download the album now and reminisce of all the great times and people you’ve met over at 13th & Carpenter.
It Don’t Stop
Produced by: Blaak The 9th Man


Interview w/Aesop Rock
By: Justin Rizzio
Some people love him. Some people hate him. Some people just don’t know what the fuck he’s talking about. However you may feel about Aesop Rock, you can’t deny the fact that this NY MC sells records and packs venues. In an industry that has become over-saturated with sub-par talent, Aesop manages to come out on top with every release for about a decade now. In preparation for his current tour and upcoming Philly show, I asked Aesop a few questions, and well, here they are.

Interview w/Dilated Peoples
By: Justin Rizzio
Since the mid nineties Dilated Peoples have gone from major label to independent to major label again and now back to independent. Over the years they have worked with almost unheard artists and ones of superstar status. They even replaced their DJ shortly after they got together. But, through all the changes they’ve gone through, one thing has always remained; since 1995 Dilated have continued to put out an extensive catalog of solid material. It’s hard to believe that while many groups can’t last more than a few singles, Dilated has managed to stay together and put out records for almost 15 years now. Though they’ve never fully broke into the mainstream, Dilated, instead, has done something even more amazing. They have managed to earn the respect of both the industry as well as fans worldwide. Visit Dilated Peoples official website at – dilatedpeoples.com
