It sure looks like "24 Hour Karate School" is gonna be one hell of a mixtape. Prowler 2 features Jean Grae, Jay Electronica, Joell Ortiz & Mos Def and is as hard as they come. Not much longer till the mixtape drops. Look out!!

Really looking forward to this one!! 24hourkarateschool.com dropped a .zip with 13min of snippets & an 11min “visual mixtape” of snippets mixed in with in-studio/karate footage. Bad news, at the end of the video trailer, they announce that the tape will be “available March 30th.”

RZA's raw soundscapes translate perfectly to the vibe of El Michels Affair's "cinematic soul," and beats from more than a dozen Wu anthems get proper do-overs courtesy of one of the hottest bands in the biz... Gaslamp Killer - I spit on your grave
