Elzhi, Rass Kass, Large Professor and M-Dot relive the ’80s with the B Leafs-produced “Reganomics.” Together they remember Reagan’s economic policies that favored corporations and short-changed the average American. The song is from B Leaf’s The Horizon album coming out January 29th. 

Chris Dave collaborates with Elzhi, Phonte and Eric Roberson on “Destiny N Stereo.” Dave is one of the greatest drummers of his generation and has worked with Adele, D’Angelo, Robert Glasper and many others. Next month he will release the first album from his Chris Dave And The Drumhedz band. “Destiny N Stereo” lives in the spirit of Guru’s Jazzmatazz pulling hip-hop, R&B and jazz into a contemporary sleeve.

Elzhi’s Lead Poison comes out March 25th.
