Fully produced by RoadsArt, the project carries a cohesive sonic identity rooted in soulful textures, analog grit, and cinematic layering. The production feels intentional and immersive—balancing raw boom bap foundations with atmospheric elements that expand the emotional weight of each record. The album also includes select collaborative moments, with one track co-produced by Frank G and another co-produced by Channel Jamil, adding subtle variations in texture while staying true to the project’s core sound.
Lyrically, Oksajin sharpens his perspective, delivering grounded, introspective verses that reflect growth, pressure, and clarity. There’s a sense of duality throughout the album—confidence paired with vulnerability, movement paired with stillness—making Skyfall feel like both a continuation and evolution.
The project features two standout appearances from Channel Jamil, adding another layer of depth and energy while maintaining the album’s cohesive tone.
Skyfall isn’t just a follow-up—it’s the other half of the story. Together with Skydive, the two projects form a complete narrative arc: the leap and the landing.

Hagler Hearns tells a story of proximity between the artist Thought Provokah and Marvin Hagler. Marvin Hagler's greatest achievement was beating Tommy Hearns and finally getting the recognition he deserved. During that path to greatness, there are unfortunate stops and starts and bumps in the road that you have to traverse on your way to the top! This album illustrates Marvin's struggles and his eventual triumph with that of Thought Provokah.

C.Scott "Phase 2" (feat. Moemaw Naedon) [SINGLE + VIDEO]
Proudly presenting the brand new banger "Phase 2" from producer C.Scott and emcee Moemaw Naedon
C.Scott & Moemaw Naedon - Phase 2
Hailing from Pittsburgh, PA, producer C.Scott and emcee Moemaw Naedon join forces once again to bring you their latest offering “Phase 2" which also serves as the title track and lead single to C.Scott’s upcoming full length project, Phase 2.
Moemaw executes his calculated continuous end-word rhyme scheme over C.Scott's hard-edged yet atmospheric boom-bap instrumental, blasting you into their two man psychedelic musical universe.
This is far from the first time C.Scott and Moemaw have teamed up musically. Their 2023 release “Yinztroducing…“ made its way onto NPR airwaves for “New Music Friday” with the track Star Time and also landed a feature in the UK print publication The Wire. Their 2021 full length album River Rats was also well received and boasts a feature and video with Underground Hip Hop staple, El Da Sensei from the legendary Artifacts Crew.
Give Phase 2 a listen, and get ready for C.Scott’s full length project.
A limited run of vinyl will be also be available via Soul Slime Records.
Phase 2 (the single) is out now - https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/cscott/phase-2-feat-moemaw-naedon

C.Scott - Phase 2
Pittsburgh’s favorite beatsmith is back with his new project, Phase 2. Packed with rich textures and soundscapes sourced exclusively from sampling vinyl records, C.Scott proves he is well on his way to mastering the craft of sample-based beat production. The whimsically abstract yet deliberate cover artwork handcrafted by Pittsburgh artist Steph Neary is the perfect representation of this musical voyage, providing a sense of journey and self-discovery.
C.Scott holds a solid catalog of releases dating back to the early 2010s, but feels his first official solo LP was Phase Shifting in 2019, making Phase 2 his triumphant return to a fully self-orchestrated expression. This is apparent right off the bat as the intro track plays with triumphant horn blasts bouncing perfectly off the drums and finalized by a few existential questions provided by a mysterious vocal sample narration. Immediately to follow is The Very Top, an undeniable head nodder accompanied by classic East Coast Hip-Hop vocal samples sporadically yelling throughout, officially starting the party. An Imaginative dreamscape of beats follow with some pleasantly comedic moments where, at times, C.Scott himself is the subject of the humour.
The track Do it! feat. Aarie presents the first vocal feature of the album and reminds the listener that this is indeed a Hip-Hop record, as he rocks the party with his undeniable hard hitting yet nimble flow and lyrics that offer lightness and humor amidst the challenges of life over C.Scott’s playfully in-the-pocket production.
Aggression is not lost on this project when the uptempo track So Hip smacks you into a realm of excitement and tension over splashy booming drums and relentless bass tones where C.Scott displays his urge to “juxtapose the expectations I felt were put on me as a 'hip' young upstart early in my career with my current trajectory and pursuit of my own individual sound and direction”.
For those that have been following C.Scott throughout the years, there are some moments they will appreciate, like another rap feature from long-time collaborator, Moemaw Naedon, a house track, and overall, a clear advancement in production techniques.
For those just getting hip to C.Scott, they are in luck, as this project could sit alongside any veteran beat-maker's catalog.
The studio album Phase 2 is out Tuesday 7th April via Soul Slime Records - https://soulslimerecords.bandcamp.com

Nas x DJ Premier "GiT Ready" [VIDEO]
The premiere of "GiT Ready" is the perfect visual statement for one of the most anticipated hip-hop projects in history. After 30 years of speculation, Nas and DJ Premier have finally dropped their full collaborative album, "Light-Years," proving that the chemistry first sparked on Illmatic is still going strong. "GiT Ready" is the high-energy centrepiece of the album, mixing Premier's characteristic scratch-heavy production with Nas's precise lyrics. The official video is like a movie-style celebration of a partnership that's basically the heart and soul of the genre. "Light-Years" officially dropped on December 12, 2025. It's got 15 tracks, which is the first time the duo have done a full-length collaborative effort. This project is the grand finale of a 7-album series by Mass Appeal Records. The campaign showcased new music from seven legends: Some of the artists I'm talking about are Slick Rick, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Mobb Deep, Big L, De La Soul, and Nas/DJ Premier. The album revisits their storied history with tracks like "NY State of Mind Pt. 3" and "3rd Childhood," bridging the gap between their 90s origins and their current mastery. Keeping it close to home, the project features only one guest verse, which is provided by the legendary AZ on "My Story Your Story." It also includes a unique collaboration with the Steve Miller Band on "It's Time." It was produced and mixed by DJ Premier, with mastering by Tony Dawsey, so it's got that classic New York sound. "GiT Ready" is a masterclass in longevity. Nas and Preemo have managed to capture that lightning in a bottle feeling of their early work, while delivering a project that feels vital and fresh in 2026. Light-Years isn't just a tribute to the past—it's a definitive look at the present state of elite hip-hop.
