News: Nocando & Nobody are Bomb Zombies, RZA Dedicates Song to Tarantino Editor, Peanut Butter Wolf’s Top 10, Diplo Drunk Again

A brand new week begins. Here are the last one’s leftovers. Hella free tunez.

  1. FEATURED: Nocando and DJ Nobody are “Bomb Zombies”*
  2. RZA Dedicates Song to Late Quentin Tarantino Editor Sally Menke

* “The song is called ‘FWUH 16,’ or ‘Fuck What You Heard’ and you’ve gotta have it. If Nocando’s raw verses don’t do it for you, we’re sure Nobody’s funky shuffling beat will.”

I’m not going to pretend to have coined “The Rap Sheet” as a blog header. But I am going to claim exclusive first rights to all of these rap-related stories, every single one of which has become a total Internet sensation. Yep, every single one of them … except maybe all of them.
