Rakim enlists a few New York MCs for a bonus off his latest LP, jj covers Akon, and Robin Thicke links with Ludacris. That's a solid lineup, right? Hit the jump to start listening...

• Damn, people are already trying to one-up Jay Electronica on this beat. Ortiz doesn't, but it's still pretty nice, so we're not mad at him for trying.
