Kil has put together a new mix tape in honor of the green eyed bandit known as Erick Sermon, and he’s calling this The Sermon Mixtape. Plain and simple, right? Maybe, but Sermon’s music is anything but simple and now you can hear his ways in this new musical puzzle, featuring a wide range of artists he has collaborated with over the years.

REVIEW: DJ Honda’s “IV”
If you’ve been listening to DJ Honda for the last few years, you’d think he was born and raised in the United States with the kind of productions he creates. But he is from Japan and has gained a reputation for making some of the best music that will move any and all crowds. Honda is back with IV, a self-released album that brings a number of MC’s to his world, including Ras Kass, EPMD, Heltah Skeltah, Kool G. Rap, Iriscience, Lord Tariq, and the return of Mos Def, who unites with Honda once again with “Magnetic Arts”.
The album has a classic feel to it, or the way hip-hop is and will always be, it slams in all the right ways and Honda knows how to control his tracks in a confident way. Why this album isn’t on a proper lavel, I do not know, but this should let people know that real hip-hop can be found anywhere, and this time it’s in the land of the rising son.
