Here at LargeUp we try to carefully curate all of our musical selections so you don’t have to. There’s plenty of other sites where you can sift through all the junk that gets thrown onto the Internet on a daily basis. But every now and then something drops that’s just too notable to ignore even if it’s not exactly our cup of tea. Such is the case with Nicki Minaj’s “Gun Shot” featuring Beenie Man.

We could hear the bombs that Funkmaster Flex was dropping on “The Don” last night all the way out here in Austin, Texas. Not only does this track knock from Queensbridge to Stubbs and back but the latest hookup between the always dynamic duo of Nas and Salaam Remi comes with some extra special Jamaican seasoning from the original don Super Cat and the late Heavy D. Opening with a sample of a 1992 Yo! MTV Raps interview with the Wild Apache, the second single from Nas’ upcoming Life is Good then cuts into samples from SuperCat’s “Dance Inna New York.”

Rapper Lunch Money has been a known presence in Miami for years, working with people like Ace Hood and doing much ghostwriting behind the scenes, and recently he’s started to gain some national attention as well. Back in November, the son of Inner Circle bassist Ian Lewis hopped on Stephen Marley’s “Jah Army,” lapsing into patois, licking off shots and toasting to Buju and Mr. Isaacs. If his uber-laidback flow doesn’t have you on board with his upcoming F.O.O.D. mixtape, absorb the evocative video, with its “Bam Bam”-soundtracked visit to the patty shop. In the meantime, download his Munchies mixtape from 2010 over at The 305.
