Praise be given.

R.A. The Rugged man gave his first sneak peek from his upcoming album Legends Never Die by premiering the song “Holla-Loo-Yah” which features Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko.

Giants of the underground come together for what makes up a song of epic proportions. Over a beat that sounds like it was recorded at a concert hall, Tech N9ne and R.A. spit verses outside of their usual element (Tech slows it down, R.A. speeds it up) and Krizz Kaliko lays down a devastating hook. The result is a track that is nothing less than legendary.

Legends Never Dies drops on April 30.

The rhyme religion is here and R.A. The Rugged Man along with Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko invite you to worship.

R.A. The Rugged Man’s long-awaited collaboration with Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko received the visual treatment recently as the New York vet touched down in the middle of the land to visit Strange Music HQ and shoot the brand new music video for “Hallelujah”, from his upcoming album Legends Never Die.

The new video features all three emcees trading camera time inside of a church while Tech N9ne dons his vintage bishop’s robe and a new beastly facepaint design.

With rhyme vets like R.A., Tech, and Kaliko all on one track, it’s time for wack emcees to bow down.

Check out the behind the scenes photos below!

After an explosive showing on Krizz Kaliko’s “Damage”, Snow Tha Product looks to tap into Strangeland once again and this time, she’s riding out with the Kansas City King.

With her highly-anticipated Good Nights & Bad Mornings mixtape officially out, Snow Tha Product sat down with HipHopDX.com for an exclusive interview to discuss the project along with her motivation to maintain a unique identity in today’s hip hop landscape.

Snow also spoke on her relationship with Strange Music and confirmed Tech N9ne for the re-release of her latest mixtape:

Tech actually called me like, “You’re dope. I want to rap with you.” We’ve actually already made a song, it’s coming out on the Good Nights & Bad Mornings re-release because that’s where I put a lot of features. We really clicked because we all focus on talent and we really focus on the fans. We have this independent grind type of mentality where we’re really on the touring and merchandising thing. It’s really cool to see what my little hustle can one day become. I’m learning a lot from them. They’re really dope people.

Already a fan-favorite, it appears Snow Tha Product isn’t quite done with the Snake and Bat.

It’s all about who you run with on the newly-released “Affiliation” from Portland’s own Cool Nutz.

Taken from Portland Ni%#a, the brand new collab is tailor-made for the streets  thanks to sinister piano loop-driven production from Bosko. Kicked off by Cool Nutz, “Affiliation” features an infectious hook from Krizz Kaliko that borrows a few elements from hardcore reggae for a mix of smooth vocals with a mean delivery.

Tech N9ne steps in for a guest spot and in typical fashion, drops off a verse that lets no syllable make it out alive. Old school Tech fans are sure to feel the throwback vibe here.

Keep the clique tight.
