Canibus treats his fans to another strong release off his latest album C of Tranquility, dropping October 5th on Interdependent Media. The album will feature prduction from DJ Premier, Jake One, The ARE, Scram Jones, Tha Bizness, and D/R Period. The second single, appropriately titled "Merchant of Metaphors," opens up with strings that conjure up images of opium dens and old Asian merchants. Produced by The ARE, Canibus uses the track to peddle out the barbed lyrics he's so well known for, all the while conjuring up an intricate tale for the audience.

The emcee paints a picture congruent with the track's Far East settings, as he raps about sipping tea, meditation, and the separation of mind and body. Canibus' peaceful surroundings are interrupted by a meeting with rivals who declare that Canibus "Can not save hip-hop," with the rapper vowing to prove his adversaries wrong. With a lyrical assault so sharp it cuts right through the smoky beat, it sounds like Canibus just may be the man for the job.

After last week's release of "This Ain't No Lil Kid Rap (Remix)" featuring Redman, Rah Digga continues to preview her much-anticipated sophomore LP, Classic, with "Straight Spittin' IV." Producer Nottz worked this and every song on the album and the collaborative power the two artists share is on full display here.

Those familiar with Rah Digga's past work may recognize "Straight Spittin' IV" as the latest in a running series of "Straight Spitttin'" tracks, the second of which appeared on her debut, Dirty Harriet. This installment features Digga in peak form, rapping energetically over a propulsive, guitar-based instrumental. You can hear the conviction in her voice and, when she delivers lines like "I'm spittin' till I'm thirsty, but I don't need a chaser / I'll probably be spittin' 'till the day I meet my maker," and "Straight spittin' on it, you could call this Illimatic / Think I'm lying when I say I got a basement for an attic / I'm spittin' for that cabbage, that scrilla, or that fetti / That hold up press rewind spittin', I don't think they're ready," you know she's telling the truth.

Rah Digga's sophomore album, Classic, will be available September 14th via Raw Koncept Media Group.
