New Music Tuesdays: July 17, 2012

This Tuesday brings out some solid audio treats. Nas is back with his Life Is Good album. Alchemist delivers his latest release Russian Roulette with a heavy helping of MCs for his latest. Public Enemy return with Most of My Heroes Still Don’t Appear On No Stamp -a title that plays off a line from their classic record “Fight The Power.” Tanya Morgan and HiPNOTT Records team up for their You & What Army. Speaking of teaming up, Masta Ace and MF Doom drop off their anticipated collaboration in Ma Doom: Son of Yvonne. Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange is available for fans today as well. If you are looking for something outside of the Hip Hop world, be sure to check out the respective projects from Hazel, Afro Latin Vintage Orchestra, and Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra.
