Wow!  That’s pretty much all I could say when I saw all of the releases that dropped on the last Tuesday in September.  Someone please remind me when they saw a Tuesday this full.  There are several top notch projects that dropped this week from North Carolina alone with J-Cole, 9th Wonder, and Phonte.  Also, we have Evidence’s strong, second solo offering, DTMD (physical release), J-Live, Blu, The Knux and Cormega are out today, too.  Madlib drops off another installment of his Medicine Show series and Doodlebug from Digable Planets serves up a release that is worth the listen.  Stepping outside of the Hip Hop realm this week, be sure to check a solid reggae release from Perfect Giddimani and a Stones Throw project from The Stepkids.  For all you Nas (Illmatic) and Ehlzi (Elmatic) fans, Will Sessions drops off the well-crafted instrumentals to the Elmatic album that features all of the beats from Illmatic played live.
