In the picture above you can see Tasha, Roscoe, Tiger JK, SJ, Miss Info, and DJ Shine 2.0 Bizzy all sat down for an interview. What an epic moment in music history.

The past day or so Roscoe Umali has been tweeting some incredibly exciting news that I’ll just quote verbatim.
@RoscoeUmali X @IllmindProducer X @DrunkenTigerJK X @Yoonmirae = 2010 Classic BoomBap Shit!!!! STAY TUNED!!!!!
It’s not a Rumor: @RoscoeUmali X @DrunkenTiger X @Yoonmirae X Lupe Fiasco X Kanye West = Korea!!! August 9th!!! LETS GO!!!!!
In general, all I can say is OH… EM… GEE. So it looks like there’s gonna be another track with Roscoe, DT, and Tasha onboard, only it’ll be produced by the legendary Illmind. ON TOP OF THAT, it seems like their gonna join Lupe Fiasco and Kanye West for a show in Korea on August 9th!!!!!! I’m very seriously considering draining my funds and buying a plane ticket to Korea, cause where else can you see that line up?

This track is a MUST-LISTEN. Definitely one of the nicest hip-hop tracks I’ve heard this year and it features a TON of artists that we regularly feature on a-Tunes. Rakaa Iriscience has put together this mega track for his upcoming album Crown of Thorns set to drop July 20th. Check out this line up!
Tasha, Tiger JK, Roscoe Umali, Chiefsons, Dumbfoundead, Tassho Pearce, Epik High, Jay Jaballas and King Kapisi all jumped on this beat produced by the one and only DJ Honda.
If you can’t wait to hear the track you’re in luck because it’s now available for streaming on Rakaa’s Myspace; just click on “Ambassador Slang” in the music player.
For an indepth review of the track, check out HalfKorean’s thoughts as they were lucky enough to preview the song in full a while back.

Roscoe Umali is a man that lives and dies by the West and has linked up with another left coast group – the Go Gettas. They have a new music video out for the single “On My Hype” featuring Roscoe on the opening verse. I’m not crazy about this flavor of hip-hop, I guess I’m just not California enough but the video quality is super crisp. Mr. Umali does his thing and has the best verse (in my opinion). What do you guys think?

Tiger JK and Roscoe Umali have been collabing for a decade now, and their friendship/working relationship show no signs of slowing down. Roscoe tweeted today about the shooting of an MV with Ol Dirty Tiger himself along with the first lady of Korean Hip-Hop Tasha.
Lunch with Ron Artest then it’s off to shoot another Music Video with my Family: @DrunkenTigerJK X @Yoonmirae X @RoscoeUmali = Supergroup
JK & Tasha are in town at LA for this year’s Superstar K auditions.
Speaking of which, hopefully we’ll have some exciting news for you soon on that front but that’s a completely different story =P.

With the NBA Finals in full swing and Game 1 already behind us, with the Lakers taking the W, a new mixtape has dropped to celebrate the pinnacle of NBA competition. It’s hosted by Donnie Wahlberg (of NKOTB fame!) and features Uuuuuumali along with a whole rack of other artists including Jimmy Marsh, Problem, Mack 10, Chino XL, Ray J, Ice Cube, Pitbull, Sinful, E-40, Bobby Valentino, Kurupt, Styliztik Jones, Network, Ms. Aquarius, MIMS, Young Zeeke, Aubrey O’Day, Marty James, 1st Place, Clinton Sparks, Jermaine Dupri, DJ Class, DJ Warrior, and TYDIS. How’s THAT for a lineup!?!?!
It’s a free DL available here. Roscoe’s all over this release!

West Coast veteran E-40 has got a new track out called “Makin Money” and he’s brought on a number of artists for the feature, including the one and only Roscoe Umali. He joins Network & MIMS for this signature bay-area song. It’s pretty impressive how versatile Roscoe is … he seems to be able to spit on any type of track. But don’t expect to hear a whole lot of Umali on this track, since his drop was pretty short.

It’s been a while since we’ve heard an official single from Mr. Umali but he definitely hasn’t lost his work ethic. His latest drop is a feature on a remix to a track by fellow California MC Stacee Adamz called ‘Slow Down’. It’s a simple two verse with a hook song but I’m sure you mixtape heads will love this one. It only makes me want to hear a proper song from Roscoe though. You can DL the song HERE.

Jin, arguably the most well-known Asian-American MC, decided to drop a track in tribute of all the Asian MC’s he respects that are doing their thing right now. This song is in response to a list that was published by a blogger on their top 10 Greatest Asian MC’s list, where Jin made the cut at #1. It’s encouraging to see Jin give a nod to his fellow colleagues, or as his once famously said in a Freestyle battle “cause Game recognize game”. He spits over the instrumental to Drake’s “It’s Over”.
Here’s the complete list of rapper’s he shouted out on the track. Ill.

Roscoe Umali recently had a cameo feature in the MV for Kurupt’s comeback single with Xzibit. The song is titled ‘In Gotti We Trust’, and even though Roscoe’s appearance is very brief it just speaks to how well respected/connected the man is in the West Coast hip-hop scene. Props to Mr. Umali for being able to work with a couple veterans of the west.
