Most people weren’t big on Ghostface’s 2009 R&B album (Ghostdini: Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City). The Wally Champ appears to be taking in back to that classic, Tony Starks soul-sampling sound with “Together Baby.” The song is set to be featured on Ghost’s ninth studio album, The Apollo Kids. The LP is scheduled for December 14, which when dealing with Def Jam is tenuous at best (just ask Nas). If anyone is wondering, the sample is from The Intruders 1967 joint “Together.” The beginning instrumentation on the original is nasty, too.

SIGNIF “DRIFTING”
It always makes me smile to discover a skilled female emcee. It’s no secret that the female talent is out there. The problem is making sure these women get the exposure. The Milwaukee born Signif first began dealing with rhymes through poetry at the age of eight. From there, she fell in love with Hip-Hop through her older brothers. She already has two projects under her belt, dropping an EP (Beautifully Flawed) and album (The Transition) last year. She now calls New York City home as evident by the visuals for her jazzy track “Drifting.”
Her Transition album is available for preview below, and is only a $5 download. You can also follow Signif on Twitter and peep a recent interview for The Express Milwaukee.

JAX TRIBUTE
My man Senor Kaos passed along a tribute track he did to the late Jax of Binkis Recs. Here in Atlanta, Binkis Recs have been a staple of the Hip-Hop scene for well over a decade. And even two years are their comrade’s passing, Binkis is keeping the name alive. Check it out and also the www.thekaoseffect.com for the latest info on Kaos’ upcoming album The Kaos Effect. Beats, Boxing & Mayhem will be dropping an interview with him early next week.
