Nature - In The Streets feat. Tommy 2 Face (Produced by M7)

It always amazes me how many fans US rappers have overseas. This track is a direct result of the influence NYC has had on the European Hip Hop scene. We've got Nature and Tommy 2 Face, both from Queensbridge, appearing on this track which was procuded by M7, who hails from Paris. This song originally appeared on the M7 compilation CD/DVD project entitled "NYC: The 5 Boroughs" which was released in 2009. This is one of two videos they shot for the LP. There is also a behind the scenes video which is also floating around YouTube. By the way you may remember M7 from an earlier post from this blog, Nature also appeared on the Lord Nez - Word is Bond track which was also produced by M7.

For those of ya'll who haven't heard of Tommy 2 Face you might want to get familiar. Although he's just on the hook for this track he's been hustling quite a bit lately in Queensbridge. Signed to Darkage Entertainment he's got several mixtapes dropping soon and countless mixtape appearances under his belt. I'll be featuring a few more Nature and Tommy 2 Face collaborations over the next few weeks. If ya'll want to get a head start you can check Tommy 2 Face out on Facebook or peep his stuff at the Darkage Ent website.

Ben Frank feat. Nature & Downleezy - Camera Thugz

So I came across this joint a couple of weeks ago on 57thAve.com and I sat on it for a minute. The joint is by Ben Frank and features a verse by Nature and has Downleezy on the hook. It's getting at all of the internet thugs out there and is off of the upcoming Ben Frank A.M.I.L. VI mixtape. I'm assuming that stands for All Money is Legal... what ever happened to AMIL anyway... Can I Get A answer? To be honest this ain't my favorite style from Nate, I prefer his tracks about chillin in the hood smoking and just doing everyday, relate-able stuff, vs the bragging about money and hoes and thuggin. But I figure I'd share for everybody... gotta always show love to everybody in the Thugged Out Millitainment camp. Stream below is courtesy of the Hip Hop Stock Exchange.

Narez - Streetz is Cynical feat. Nature

A lot of you have been asking about Narez and wanted me to post up a few of the older joints he's done with Nature. I think this one, Streetz is Cynical, was the first joint they did together. I think it was recorded back in 2009 for Narez's "Hope of a Hostage" mixtape and it was produced by I-CUE. I posted another Nature and Narez collaboration "Cruise Control" and you can really hear the growth in Narez's flow between 2009 and 2011. I still have a couple more collaborative joints to post up with Nature and Narez flowing together. I really think Narez is going to make some noise in the future, the east coast latin rapper lane is definitely still pretty wide open. Anyway enjoy the joint and make sure to check out my earlier Narez and Nature post. You can check out more music from Narez on his MySpace or his YouTube or get at him on Twitter via @talk2narez. Enjoy.

G.S. Advance feat. Nature - My Piece (over The Roots "Star" beat)

G.S. Advance is another rapper out of Queens who has been putting out mixtapes over the past few years. I really miss mixtapes, especially the style that DJ Clue / DJ Absolut / DJ Kool Kid used to put out. The ones that not only featured new tracks... but also featured exclusive freestyles with artists flowing over whatever beat was hot at the moment. This joint features G.S. Advance and Nature flowing over the The Roots "Star" beat... which is a dope beat that I never thought I'd hear anybody else flowing over besides Black Thought... but it works. This track is from G.S. Advance's 2009 Mixtape "Advance Classes Vol 2" but I hadn't even heard it until today. Hope ya'll enjoy. If you want to hear more from G.S. Advance you can check out his Facebook fan page here.
