Hip Hop's first Christmas gift has been given via The Grouch, Eligh, and Brother Ali and their theme song for the How the Grouch Stole Christmas Tour. The tour was kicked off last night at the El Rey theatre in Los Angeles and continues tonight in San Diego. Check below for the song stream/download, as well as the rest of the tour dates on the flip side.
Below are the two singles from cap D's new album PolyMathavailable in stores now! I provided the download for Respect but just the stream for King of the Mountain featuring Brother Ali. Both tracks are produced by Illmind, who has two more tracks on the record.
cap D is a modern day Renaissance Man. From his early years putting the hip-hop group All Natural on the map as one of Chicago’s most-respected underground hip-hop groups, to building the brand for All Natural, Inc. into one of the world’s most-respected independent hip-hop labels, to serving as associate editor at Third World Press publishing, to embarking on his solo rap career while lecturing at preeminent universities, to involving himself as an activist in the on-the-ground work done by community organizers, to his professional life as an attorney representing sports teams such as the Chicago Bulls, Chicago White Sox and Oakland A’s…cap has pretty much done it all. And he has done it well.
While pursuing his life’s many passions, cap D has rocked for thousands of fans worldwide at festivals from Hultsfred, Sweden to Porto Alegre, Brazil, each time delivering his signature style, energy and poignant lyrics. His solo albums Writer’s Block, Insomnia and Return of the Renegade, along with his work as the MC of All Natural on No Additives, No Preservatives, Second Nature, Vintage and Elements (Fire), reveal a prolific master of hip-hop lyrics and production who continues to get better with time.
On his new album PolyMath (available on All Natural, Inc.) cap D pulls all of the pieces together and delivers the full spectrum of banging beats, strong lyrics, battle rhymes, concepts, aggressive anthems and laid-back, introspective songs. With production duties handled by No I.D., !LLMiND and cap D, and stand-out cameo verses provided by Brother Ali and Tragedy Khadafi, PolyMath is the surprise hip-hop album of 2010.

Notes: The Berlin beatsmith does it again with this infectious electro banger that slithers its way around Amenta's haunting vocals from beginning to end. She sounds a lot like the chick from Little Dragon.
